This is one of what will become a common theme in Book of the Snowstorm. Vignettes that feel quite thoroughly like I'd enjoy them more if I was more acquainted with the context outside the DWU series. Which is more my fault than the stories fault, but irregardless, it'll pop up more and more as I go through the book. That being said, this is a charming parody take on It's A Wonderful Life, which is something that should be very difficult to do. The original film's kind spirit results in parodies often turning out as nihilistic and miserable experiences, which this expertly dodges and remains pleasant and amusing throughout.
