A man with red-orange hair in a green shirt tells his off-panel son, "Bobby I think you're old enough now to know - Santa isn't real." The boy starts to protest, "But he just-" while in the background a figure dressed as Santa Claus is tied and gagged to a chair, muffled-shouting "Mmf! Mmf!" The man cuts the boy off with a jagged starburst yell: "You saw nothing!" A caption below reads: "No, Santa isn't real. He hasn't been real since December 24th, 1986." Votey aftercomic: two crudely drawn figures in tall pointed hoods. One says, "Santa says to avenge his death" (the words "his death" underlined). The other flatly replies, "Fuck him."
