189. A Cthunkle Carol (Part 1)

December 22, 2025  /  Eric O'Keefe

Cthunkle’s getting a surprise birthday present, a story where he’s actually taken over What If World! Of course, ruling the world may not be so fun when Cthunkle finds himself haunted by moralizing spirits...

Lessons include: Great wealth and power doesn’t bring great happiness; we don’t need to wait for the holidays to be kind to each other.

This remastered classic originally aired on December 21st, 2020.
