The Secret Identity of Santa Claus

Unwanted husband and father, Paul Slater is a check out assistant in Tesco. But Paul leads a secret double life... He is... Santa Claus!... in the Tesco Christmas Grotto Mega Value Clearance section.


Like the awkward time when you watched a loved one dissapointedly unwrap your present bought on a shoestring budget, I would have liked to have offered you a slightly bigger, more raunchy present, but time's been tight lately. Where's the sherry. Sherry will dull this guilt.

Trivia: I wrote this when I was 13. Gadzooks! 10 years ago! In the '90s! Jesus. Here's the original sketch while I go and spin out in the corner.

Circa 1999

Christmas Card Animation For Go'Proces:


Danish company Go'Proces: came to me with a script for an animated Christmas card. So I made one. It's only occurred to me recently that Scandinavians have a particular sense of humour. Like the sort of joke that doesn't have a punchline... or a joke. Just a big vast dark cold landscape of subtlety. I like!

As their friend base is exclusively Danish they decided not to go for subtitles, so good luck working out what they're saying! Let me know what you think they're saying so I can laugh at/with you.

Lastly, big up to long suffering Amy Commander for doing the voice of 6 characters - possibly even a man's voice too with help from my computer.

P.S. Seems there's some audio sync problems with this uploaded version.
