A Very Merry Cricket: Background Art
Keeping up with the Christmas theme, may I share with you some screen grabs of Chuck Jones' 1973 television special "A Very Merry Cricket", which was itself a sequel to "The Cricket in Time Square".

Meanwhile, Drake Mallard (AKA Darkwing Duck) is trying to teach his adopted daughter, Gosylan the spirit of Christmas has more to do with than presents.
