Plot
Standing in the Department of Postal Services' building, where letters addressed to Santa Claus are piling up to the exclusion of any other missives, an irate Philatel-426 records a public-service announcement to the rest of the Copper-Colored Cupids, remining them that his Cupid Post Office only delivers to locations within the Cupid Homeworld.
Worldbuilding
Universes
- The comic takes place in the Cupid Homeworld.
Continuity
- One of the three sorting crates is labeled as “Letters to the Parliament”. The Cupid Post Office has obviously picked up the slack since the Cupid Suggestion Box was discontinued at the end of PROSE: The Cupid Suggestion Box.
- Philatel-426's ongoing frustrations with the undeliverable letters to Santa Claus served as the starting point for the long-form Philatel-centric story PROSE: A Copper-Colored Christmas Carol.
