Cale Atkinson.
A boy named Harold questions Santa's existence, so he hides in his living room on Christmas Eve to learn the truth. Meanwhile, Santa has been questioning Harold's existence, so he hides behind Harold's couch on Christmas morning to get some answers. The execution isn't up to the terrific premise, but the art, while overcomplicated, hits humorous notes, especially Harold's dad's spit-take.
