Artists Note - this image (and others also numbered 306 that will follow soon) are the original drawings that made up this story when I dreamed it up many years ago (more details here). For this series I have elaborated the narrative a little particularly the characterisation of Tom. I have also coloured the pictures to take advantage of the Christmassy setting.
