Jon H Comments: This one caught me off guard, I thought it was just your typical WW 2 book, maybe a little on the Sgt Rock side of reality but then I noticed the monkey and realized it said WW3.

MisterBob’s Art Direction: Okay, the book is called Reindeer Moon so be sure to paint a reindeer with a Moon and if you any paint left, add a floating bone with flames.
