Who are you? What are you doing here? Can't you see I was just about to give this cat a bath?
I am a messenger clip from your lawyer. I am here to let you know that your creator has surrendered all rights to your character for use in anonymous online comics.
What the hell? That will never be funny! What does some stranger know about my character?
Your lawyer says not to worry, that no one reads these shitty on-line comics anyway.
Oh shit, are we in one now? Who the hell is writing this? Identity...fading! I can't even remember what I'm doing with this cat!
oh, he's the new star of the strip. His name is Garphield.
Hey Rudolph, have you noticed what a total psycho Santa has been lately?
No, how do you mean?
Well, he forgot my name the other day, and I've worked for him for over 150 years! He's just not making sense, and yesterday I caught him talking to a snowman!
Well, Mr. Goblin Death Elf, I must say, I have my reservations about hiring you, mostly because of your criminal record, ..but the fact of the matter is this: we're broke. ...
..What money I didn't drink away was spent on legal services, and you're the only elf who agreed to work for something besides money.
What was it that you wanted in exchange for your duties as head elf?
Hold up, there, Mr. Goblin Death Elf! I was wondering if I could take a look in that present you've got there.
I can't let you do that, Santa.
Well, it seems that someone has been filling presents with bodily waste. Just wanted to make sure that this wasn't the big present-shortage solution you promised me.
..so, if I could just have a look at that present..
So whatever happened with Mr. Goblin Death Elf? I thought that there was some plotline going on there..
Yeah, there was, but it wasn't really going anywhere.
So we're just going to go on and pretend that all that crazy stuff never happenned?
Right. Mr. Goblin Death Elf may show up again, but that who parody of the movie "Se7en" really painted us into a corner.
So it's not true that we don't have any toys to give anyone this Christmas?
Unfortunately that wasn't part of the sideplot. We are so broke that I've released a limitted edition "Santa saves the WTC children" collector's edition coin.
So, you know how that stupid little poem refers to you as "8 tiny reindeer?"
Yeah. Tiny my ass!
I was thinking the same thing! I mean, you could easily get along with, say, Comet and Vixen, right?
Shit, Santa, you know we could! Some of those reindeer are dead weight. And you know what I've been saying about Prancer..
Right, good. Because I sold Comet and Vixen for venison today. In case you didn't know, 1,000,000 miles of square ice and snow doesn't pay for toys or heat.
Oh, shit. Y'know, I think Donner has been stealing Playstation 2's and selling them on E-bay.

"Dear Santa, my daddy is fighting in Afghanistan right now, and if you can make him come home safely, I'll never ask for another present ever again --jimmy"
Hey, Blitzen-- how do I change my "from:" address to "Mail Delivery Subsystem MAILER-DAEMON@northpole.com"?
Okay, look, Santa: I was good as shit all year, man. I've been stealing less from work, and I hardly ever sell to kids under 16 anymore unless I know them..
I feel that I've allowed you ample time to reward me with my Christmas present, but I believe you have cheated me.
What was it you asked for, again?
A 6-foot bong shaped like Cleopatra, with attatchable hooka tubes for her tongue, her nipples, and her--
Right, I remember. For starters, where you wanted to pack the weed: we can't do that.
