It's a little less than 3 weeks till Christmas, but this image shows what I like to think is going on right now, way up north — at least according to the vision of Carl Barks (the GOOD duck artist, as we Dell Comic aficionados like to say). Yes, Virginia, Barks painted more than just Scrooge and the boys.
I like that he has animal helpers, 'stead of them nasty little elves — the woodpeckers are a hoot and a half—'specially the test pilot.
