Hello all, I'm trying to find out information about Christmas issues of the Boy's Own comic from the early 1880s, perhaps 1882. In particular details of any free gifts that may have been given away.

Final scan! This is the last character in the three comics I found. This one is killing me as I'm sure I've seen the little dragon-like character in a comic or cartoon before. Is it Hanna-Barbera?
