Christmas '19 by @Thorvald (El Thorvaldo)

My 28th submission to DYOS XII: [[link]](https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/draw-your-own-story-at-plots-end.502368/post-15629578)

"KORUSANTU NO KAGAKU WA SEKAI ICHI!"

After years of scraping through by the skin of my teeth, this "Christmas" Special was my failed mission, coming in after New Year's dropped. I actually can't recall if it was the sketching itself or trouble scheduling the time that pushed me over. For what was still largely a rush job, it actually turned out pretty decent.

I forget what specifically inspired this. I've been meaning to do several different song parodies for some time, including a special one-off scheduled for later in Part II, but this one hit me fairly late in the brainstorm. I know "But do you recall..?" came first, the JoJoke followed not too long afterward, and the rest filled in from there. So yeah, Spoiler Alert for the story to come. =P

Any resemblance between my cardboard cutout and the Ice King is entirely incidental.
