Was macht der Weihnachtsmann im Juli?

Raymond Briggs’s whimsical one-shot from Bertelsmann, Was macht der Weihnachtsmann im Juli? (1995), poses the charming question of what Santa gets up to during the off-season. As both writer and artist, Briggs brings his signature warm, gently humorous style to this single-issue gag, offering a lighthearted seasonal treat rather than a sprawling series. While brief, it’s a delightful footnote in his celebrated career, showing the beloved creator of The Snowman and Father Christmas at play with yuletide whimsy.
