An SMBC comic. Main panel: a robed, bearded, haloed figure (Jesus) stands by a Christmas tree, gesturing warmly to two small children and saying, "Hey, kids! I took over for Santa this year! And guess what? Instead of toys, I bring you a three-hour lecture on togetherness with multiple Bible citations!" After an ellipsis, a caption gives a child's deadpan reaction: "Where's my f**king fire engine?" Votey: a stark black-and-white close-up of a terrified person engulfed in jagged flames, eyes wide — the implied damnation for the kid's outburst.
