Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town (w/ Anthony Caruso)
What’s up, dudes? Anthony Caruso from ‘Tis the Podcast joins me to dig into the comic book origin of the Rankin Bass special "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town!" First appearing on VHS in 1989, the 1970 special stars MIckey Rooney as a Kris Kringle who learns the art of toymaking from some elves and delivers them to the children of Sombertown! Penguin sidekick? Check. Overbearing mayor? Of course. Corrupted Maia who gets redemption? Very well could be! So grab your sack of toys, laugh...
