Did no one else notice that in addition to ripping off every movie they could get their hands on, Spielberg, Dante, and Columbus also ripped off a Gahan Wilson cartoon? In the scene where the girl is explaining why she hates Xmas, she tells how, when she was 9, her father dressed up as Santa Claus and tried to come down the chimney. But he slipped and broke his neck and stayed there until the odor caused them to call a sweep. This is very much like a favorite Gahan of mine where some sweeps are pulling out a skeleton dressed in a Santa suit from a fireplace. The caption is something like: "Well, we found what's been blocking your chimney since last December Ma'mm". Steal from one, it's plagarism. Steal from a lot and its research or a tribute. tom galloway -------
