I discovered Dr. Strange and Ebeneezer Scrooge on the same day, decades ago, when I was eleven years old and received a mail-order package with several beat-up comics, including Strange Tales 115, which I read during the commercials while the family watched the classic version of the Christmas Carol (actually called "Scrooge") with Alistair Sim, on our family's little 19 inch tv.

 

Some years ago I realized I did not know where that copy of Strange Tales 115 was. I never bought another copy, until a few weeks ago when I ordered one on a whim so I could show the story to my daughter. As it happened, the book arrived on the same day that we happened to be watching Scooge on a big flatscreen TV. And it gave me quite a sense of Yuletime Deja vu to experience Scrooge and Strange in a double-header once more.

Similar stories in that both involve a-holes that find redemption
