Happy new year with ... what is actually a Christmas thing. This is a copy of one character from the Walt Kelly's story ``Santa's First Helper'', which ran in Santa Claus Funnies for November 1949; you can see the original at https://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=26098 page 3.

And why draw Reddy Fox? Mainly a feeling that I need to do a little more copying from really good artists if I'm going to get to improving my anatomy and poses and all. So here's an example.

I didn't feel up to drawing the fox's sleigh or Puggy Pink, the dwarf using Reddy as his draft animal.
