Christmas Comics That Make the Holiday Season More Jolly

This comic imagines a reindeer trying—and failing—to explain his Christmas Eve absence with the most unbelievable true story possible. His friends aren’t having it, treating his night of magical flight with Santa as if it’s just another far-fetched excuse. The skepticism on their faces adds the perfect punch.

It’s a fun twist on the reindeer mythos, turning legendary holiday duties into the equivalent of a questionable late-night alibi. Poor Derek may have saved Christmas, but he still can’t convince his buddies he wasn’t out causing trouble.
