Sid on Christmas Card

Sid on Christmas Card | Photograph | Wisconsin Historical Society
Composite of photographs and hand-drawn elements with text for a humorous Christmas card. Sid is depicted pulling dissected pieces of himself together. He is using his arms to pull ropes attached to other parts of his feet and legs. Even the smoking cigar in his mouth is broken into two pieces, attached with a small rope. The text reads: "Pull Yourself Together For A Merry Christmas!"
