Main comic (single panel):

Setting: A workshop interior at night, with windows along the wall. Santa Claus, in his red suit and hat, stands cracking a whip over a row of green-skinned elves wearing purple hats who are hunched over working at a workbench, with a wrapped gift visible. One elf recoils with a burst of impact lines as the whip strikes.

Santa: "FASTER, YOU IDIOTS!"

Caption (below panel): What's even more disturbing is that Santa only does this because the elves like it.

Votey:

A loosely sketched close-up of a single elf's face looking up, with a speech bubble.

Single-panel comic: Inside a dim workshop at night, Santa Claus in his red suit cracks a whip over a row of green elves in purple hats who are hunched over a workbench making gifts. One elf is struck, shown with cartoon impact lines. Santa yells, 'FASTER, YOU IDIOTS!' A caption below reads: 'What's even more disturbing is that Santa only does this because the elves like it.' Votey aftercomic: a rough sketch of a single elf's face gazing up contentedly, a speech bubble saying 'This is love' — confirming the elves enjoy the abuse.
