In the vast and whimsical expanse of the Solar System, Christmas has taken on a cosmic twist in this delightfully funny cartoon scene. At the heart of the composition is a vibrant and vividly colored space sleigh, reminiscent of Charles Schulz's Peanuts simplicity, but with the detail and fantasy flair of Winsor McCay. The sleigh is piloted by a cheerful and plump Santa Claus, wearing a suit designed to resemble an astronaut's uniform, complete with a sparkling red helmet. Instead of reindeer, the sleigh is being pulled by a fleet of jovial, grinning alien creatures with oversized eyes and antennae, drawing inspiration from Gary Larson's knack for quirky extraterrestrial life.

Surrounding Santa's space sleigh, the planets of our Solar System have each donned their own Christmas decorations. Saturn's rings are festooned with twinkling fairy lights, Jupiter wears a giant Santa hat perched on its Great Red Spot, and Venus is wrapped up in a shiny garland that glistens like tinsel. Each planet, drawn with Osamu Tezuka's meticulous attention to detail, appears animated and lively, with cartoonish faces expressing excitement for the holiday. Earth, prominently featured, is decorated with snow and Christmas trees visible even from space, reminiscent of the cozy, homey vibes found in Bill Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbes.

Floating amongst the stars is a giant banner that reads "Merry Christmas, Orson!" in sparkling, glowing letters. The letters are created from swirling comet tails and shooting stars, creating a dynamic and celestial display of Orson's name. Beneath the banner, asteroids are humorously arranged to form the silhouette of a reindeer, showcasing the playful creativity found in R. Crumb’s works.

In the lower corner of the card, a group of elves, inspired by the characters of Hergé's Tintin, can be seen in a tiny UFO, joyfully waving up at Santa and the planets. They’re busy tossing gifts out of the UFO's hatch, wrapped in colorful paper and trailing rainbow ribbons, destined for the worlds below.

Overall, this cosmic Christmas scene blends the whimsy of beloved classic cartoonists with the wonder of the universe, delivering holiday cheer with an interstellar twist.
