A few years ago, I'd drawn a doodle on some yellow ruled paper, wondering what would happen to one of Santa's reindeer if he should develop a 'sweet tooth'...

This gag predates both the cinematic interpretation from the Tim Allen comedy "The Santa Clause 2" and a few comic strips that spoofs the ongoing sports/drug controversy (when Santa asks "Which one of you reindeer tested 'positive' for steroids?" - unaware of the behemoth standing amongst the scrawnier deer)!
