And Gargantuan Tim, who is impervious to physical harm

Also Prodigal Tim, who costs one blue mana and two colorless mana, has one power and one toughness, and you can tap him to deal a single point of damage to a target creature or player

Apparently Muppet's Christmas Carrol actually has more direct quotes from the book than most adaptions of the work. Some Dickens scholars have even praised it as being one of the best adaptations.

It's the most class conscious adaptation I've seen

The way it's written kinda looks like the Hogfather version of death interjecting.

Funnily enough it wasn't in the original manuscript but I believe he added it in the editing and printing step because publishers were worried it was too ambiguous, hence why it's somewhat snarky.

"So does Tiny Tim die?"

"No, he doesn't."

"Can you make that, I dunno, a bit more obvious to the read?"

"Okay, he did NOT DIE!"

His doctors told him to stop playing the ukulele for like five minutes or he'd die, and he told all of them to go fuck themselves and ukuleled himself to death because that's the man he was
