Very classy of "air bear entertainment" to put their watermark next to the signature of the one who ACTUALLY made it.

At least they didn't go so far as to cover it or otherwise obscure it, but that's a really low bar!

Now if only we could read what the signature is supposed to say and find out of they have a webpage of some sort.

Coal?! What is zis?! Zis is weak! "Oh, you have been bad, so have a little contribution to your heating costs?!" In Germany you get lashes by either Knecht Ruprecht or Krampus. And do not get me started on what happens if you won't stop sucking on your thumb!

No, please, don't leave us hanging! What happens?

A tailor will break into your house and cut your thumbs right off.

Wow. Never heard of that! I'm sorry that I got you started, but now I have so many questions!

Do the tailors have anything to do with Christmas, or is that unrelated? What do they do with the thumbs? Is it a special band of mythical tailors or just your everyday cut/sew guy from down the street? What is it about thumbsucking that brings them so much ire?

I appreciate your time.

  1. Unrelated (it's from a line of "educational stories" by author Wilhelm Busch who wasn't too subtle with his messaging)
  2. That's unknown
  3. It's not clear from the story. The mother in the story warns her boy about the tailor cutting thumbs off of thumb suckers and when the child doesn't listen and the mother is away, said tailor just barges in, so there is an argument for it being a mythical tailor, but an argument for it being just your regular ass tailor as well.
  4. Unknown. Seems to be in their job description for some reason

That's awesome. Thank you for the breakdown! I'm a bit invested in the story as I'm an upholsterer and wondered if I wasn't keeping up with the trade mythology.

For the record, neither of my kids sucked their thumb...
