Samurai Pizza Cats: Through the 4th Wall is a Christmas themed fancomic, from the writer of The Pizza Cats Pantomime.
The plot is a fairly simple one: After Polly eats the chocolates Speedy got for Lucile as a Christmas present, he travels to the other side of the fourth wall to find another present to replace it. While there he runs into characters from other franchises and get into fights with them in an attempt to get back on the air. Guido follows him through to the other side to engage in a whirlwind of pop culture references.
