German santa

A red-skinned character wearing a grey ushanka with a red star and a blue-and-white striped shirt appears in a series of hand-drawn illustrations, first gesturing with an open palm, then covering its face with its hands, then appearing in a red uniform with a black hat and a red shield, and finally returning to the original outfit with hands clasped together in a pleading or excited gesture. The character is depicted against a plain white background.
