『1946年、サンタ夏活はじめました…』
1コマ目「真夏の記念撮影」
Narration (Japanese):
1946年8月3日
世界初のテーマパーク『Santa Claus Land』開園！
A bright blue midsummer sky, lush green trees, the original "Santa Claus Land" entrance gate, a large decorated Christmas tree despite the summer season.
Several cheerful children wearing:
straw hats
swim rings
snorkeling masks
snorkels
clearly enjoying their summer vacation.
In the center stands a traditional Santa Claus wearing a full thick red winter suit with white fur trim.
His face is covered with sweat.
He desperately maintains a smile while posing for a commemorative photograph.
Child (Japanese):
「サンタさん暑くないの？」
Santa (Japanese):
「……。」
Tiny sweat drops emphasize his suffering.
2コマ目「休憩室」
Inside a simple backstage break room.
Door sign:
STAFF ONLY
Santa has removed his costume.
Inside is an extremely skinny exhausted elderly man.
Sweat pours down his body.
He sits in a chair wiping himself with a towel.
Wall calendar:
AUGUST 1946
Desk contains:
drinking water
electric fan
Santa (Japanese):
「はぁ～～……。」
The atmosphere contrasts sharply with the cheerful first panel.
3コマ目「80年以上後…」
Narration (Japanese):
80年以上後…
Rear view of Santa.
Modern Santa costume.
Two large cooling fans are built into the back of the jacket.
Battery pack mounted on the belt.
Cooling fans spinning dramatically.
Japanese sound effect:
ブイィィィーーン
A small plate attached to the battery reads:
Japanese Technology
with a small Japanese flag icon.
Optional small Japanese caption:
「未来？」
or
「未来の技術？」
The visual clearly indicates a humorous jump into the modern era.
4コマ目「完全復活」
The same composition as Panel 1.
Now the entrance sign reads:
Holiday World
In the background stands the famous wooden roller coaster:
The Voyage
The same children still wear:
straw hats
swim rings
snorkeling masks
snorkels
Santa now looks perfectly comfortable.
No sweat.
Bright smile.
Healthy face.
Thumbs up.
Child (English):
"Japanese Technology?"
Santa (English):
"Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!"
Parents watching nearby look surprised.
Small Japanese speech balloon:
「なんか午前中より元気になってない？」
