Sinterklaas on Holiday
This cartoon first appeared in the November/December edition of DUTCH:The Magazine
Stuart
Stuart is an accident prone Englishman who has been living in the Netherlands since 2001. Even his move to the country was an unintentional accident, the result of replying to a cryptic job advertisement he found one day in a local British magazine. Since then he has learned to love the Dutch (so much so that he married one of them) and now calls the country home. He started the blog Invading Holland in 2006 as a place to share his strange stories of language misunderstandings, cultural confusions and his own accident prone nature.

Should Sinterklaas ever retire, I would be more than happy to take over his job. He must have a great pension plan.
Good luck, because I think he must be a real workaholic, as he has had this job for over six-hundered years, which means that he could have retired fivehunderedthrityfive years ago.
Ah, but if he really had retired, then he wouldn’t still have this as his full-time profession.
Unless…we consider the possibility that he really *did* retire nearly six centuries ago and his current gig is purely volunteer work.
Well, regardless of the circumstances: I’m a patient girl. I can wait my turn.
I would suggest getting an intern-ship as a Piet and work your way up. Then you could take over that way.
