You Should Be Asleep

RUMBLE SANTA YOU SHOULD BE ASLEEP

A four-panel black-and-white comic shows a sleepy creature in bed hearing a rumble, then climbing through the house and asking Santa about it. In the final panel, a frightening reindeer-like monster reveals that Santa is making the noise, while the creature is told it should be asleep. The joke comes from a child’s nighttime fear escalating into a bizarre Christmas horror scene.
