#3: Santa Knows When To Lower the Bar
This comic absolutely nails the delicate art of negotiation with Santa. The kid shoots her shot with a dragon—bold move, zero hesitation—and Santa hits her with the “be realistic” talk that every child has heard at least once. But she’s quick. She pivots. She adapts. She asks for… a boyfriend.

Santa’s face says everything: absolutely not. Without missing a beat, he circles right back to the dragon—with a follow-up question about preferred color like this is totally normal. It’s a perfect blend of honesty, desperation, and comedic timing. And honestly? Red is a great choice.
