Santa's elves are unhappy. Despite all their best efforts there is always a last-minute rush to get Santa out the door and on his way on Christmas Eve. Their solution is to automate, but can the imposing "Deliverator" outdo Santa? Obviously not, but the story's conclusion contains a surprise twist. The ink drawings are meticulously executed and full of droll details in this sequel to How Santa Got His Job.
