Your Cartoonist is well aware that he promised to draw a Christmas card "sometime soon." Alas, the said illustrated jocularity will likely not be forthcoming this year on account of a rather ad hoc excursus to Cancun, where a stringent itinerary of relaxing diversions will, ironically, afford no quarter for such leisurely pursuits. Still, there is no cause for despair, since I might cobble together something at the last moment, like last year's magnum opus.
