First part of this issue contains another Rammastide tale (the Third Earth version of Christmas) and also appeared in the 1990 Annual. It's a short, one-shot story about how Snarf is at the Lair alone, griping that he has to clean and prepare the huge Rammastide feast all by himself. Then, a traveling salesman named Clemuel Poontang (I wish I were joking lol!) shows up to try to sell him everything from a vacuum cleaner to a set of encyclopedias, only to make a huge mess of everything! The ThunderCats arrive, only to report the Tower of Omens has been completed ahead of schedule and that they've all been invited there for dinner anyway. So the mess doesn't matter! Everybody is feelng the Rammastide love, except for the saleman, who gets stuffed in a snowbank. The second half the the book is a reprint from US issue #21 and UK issue #55: Father Snarf (part 1)
