From 2004 comes the last of the Holiday Cards with hand-colored elements. The UPC is fictitious.

Ülf is wearing authentic Viking clothes. Interestingly, the stereotypical horned helmet was never worn by real Vikings (would you want to provide handles on your head for your opponent to grab?), but was a misinterpretation by English monks in their journals when they saw Vikings wearing their helmets with the cheek guards up.

This is probably the last picture so far where I've used Mags Katzenfeld and James StinCoy (whose character design and last name I "stole" for my modern era avatar Justin StinCoy). Any similar looking skunks with later copyright dates can be assumed to be Justin.
