Not sure, probably both given the quinoa market sign on the other side.

Why does his hat have a For Sale sign? Is *he* for sale? Is Paul predicting a Christmas so grim that the man of the house needs to prostitute himself for presents? I know covid has been tough on all of us, but I think Paul needs an intervention.

Yeah it's a better joke i think, at least by the standards of editorial cartooning. also more clearly critical of Boris, which I assume is why the editors got him to change it?
