Karl Marx

Karl Marx was a German philosopher and socialist hero. He published numerous books during his lifetime, the most notable being 'The Communist Manifesto' (1848), 'Das Kapital' (1867–1894) and 'How To Grow a Beard in 10 Days' (1866). Marx has been described by Daniel Sweet as one of the most influential figures in human history, however he is wrong. Marx is also thought to be the greatest influence of Rico Zepplin, our hero.

Marx's alter ego
Karl Marx's endevours into communism lead to the creation of his alter ego, a figure which would later come to be known as "Santa Claus". He would collect many presents from the community, with or without permission, then he would distribute them equally among the children making sure every child was equal... Except the Jewish children.
