This project is being produced in
tandem with Fleischer Studios and King Features Syndicate. The storyline is original and
will introduce readers to a host of marvelous Fleischer characters. Bimbo, Grampy, and
Gabby appear in key roles that enable the story interesting and at times, down
right scary.
Max Fleischer needs help with a Christmas story for his daily
cartoon strip. The idea isn't working out for Max and he's facing a Christmas Eve
deadline. Well, Ko-Ko and Bimbo appear just in time to help Max with his deadline but in
the process, they travel to Santa town where they encounter an evil that threatens to
abolish the very idea of Christmas forever!
Ko-Ko was a real cartoon "superstar" during the early
1920's. Later when sound was introduced, Ko-Ko was reduced to sidekick status for the
studio's new superstar, Betty Boop.
Script is from Mitchell
Perkins and the illustrator
George Broderick. Inking is Ray Snyder.
