This story is the result of a discussion with my youngest daughter about Santa Claus. We started messing around joking about what other types of Santas there could be. As soon as I said the name 'Santa Clown' the whole concept of him became real. As I developed the story further Santa Clown's problems seemed to mirror those of the late Irish surreal comedian Spike Milligan; who's comedic genius was disturbed by severe bouts of depression. I love his work and decided to pay tribute to his brilliant talent by basing the look of Santa Clown on Spike and also recycling some of his lines too. This is a genuine heartfelt tribute to a very unique British talent.
