Artist's Comments

This is a giftart for Mlle Dinkley ([link]) It features Snoopy and The Red Baron from the song "Snoopy's Christmas" from the album "Snoopy vs. The Red Baron" as performed by "The Royal Guardsmen" (who sound like a combo of The Beatles and The Monkees) in 1966. I figured since Mlle Dinkley is a fan of World War I, she'd like this one. Plus, it has a nice Christmas theme.

The background is by ([link]) at ([link]).
The Red Baron is based upon "Red Max" from the Hanna Barbera show "Wacky Races." I drew him based upon a toy of him I saw on eBay.
My mum and brother were big fans of this album. I sent them a copy.

Song lyrics:

O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum,
du kannst mir sehr gefallen!
O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum,
du kannst mir sehr gefallen!

The news had come out in the First World War
The bloody Red Baron was flying once more
The Allied command ignored all of its men
And called on Snoopy to do it again.

Twas the night before Christmas, 40 below
When Snoopy went up in search of his foe
He spied the Red Baron, fiercely they fought
With ice on his wings Snoopy knew he was caught.

Christmas bells those Christmas bells
Ring out from the land
Asking peace of all the world
And good will to man

The Baron had Snoopy dead in his sights
He reached for the trigger to pull it up tight
Why he didn't shoot, well, we'll never know
Or was it the bells from the village below.

Christmas bells those Christmas bells
Ringing through the land
Bringing peace to all the world
And good will to man

The Baron made Snoopy fly to the Rhine
And forced him to land behind the enemy lines
Snoopy was certain that this was the end
When the Baron cried out, "Merry Christmas, my friend"

The Baron then offered a holiday toast
And Snoopy, our hero, saluted his host
And then with a roar they were both on their way
Each knowing they'd meet on some other day.

Christmas bells those Christmas bells
Ringing through the land
Bringing peace to all the world
And good will to man

Christmas bells those Christmas bells
Ringing through the land
Bringing peace to all the world
And good will to man

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Thanks for the gift art, Jag. This song is a Christmas Classic. Incidentally, I just finished watching "The Christmas Truce" on the History Channel, and for some reason this song went through my head. You did a great job on Snoopy.
P.S. Hope the kids like their gifts.

And those phonics books are really helpful! She can read all the Shaggy and Scooby ones, and much of the others.
