Every other week, we accept a challenge from one of the Webcomic Community’s biggest supporters – Todd McElmurry. Todd has brought us challenges such as BBQ Disaster, Christmas in July, Dummies for Dummies and a whole lot more. Today’s challenge is:
“Mall Santa working”
Well it’s that time of year again. The malls are packed with holiday shoppers, and the mall Santa’s are out in full force, ready to hear those Christmas lists and get their laps broken down by the continued flow of children. This Character Challenge is to capture the working environment of the mall Santa. You have to incorporate not only Santa, but one of Santa’s helpers, and at least one child. So let’s see what the Webcomic Alliance “artists” come up with – then we’ll see Todd’s response. Think you can answer the challenge? Link to yours below in the comment section!!

Love it Dawn, absolutely love it. Get your revenge Ralphie, get your revenge!!! Love the inclusion of the “Football” in the elves arms. This is phenomenal Dawn. My favorite movie of all times. Love It!!
wow, thanks Todd! Rave reviews!
Sitting here chuckling on Ralphy’s revenge by Dawn got me to thinking. Two people, and a slide. Hmmmmmm. Sweeny Santa.

If you’re a bad kid, worst. mall. santa. ever. Haha. Nicely done!
I have always loved the play Sweeny Todd, Demon Barber of Fleet Street with Angela Lansbury. That setting fits right in here. Hehehe
that’s equally messed up and AWESOME.
Nice job, everyone. Who doesn’t love A Christmas Story? I’ll try to post one later tonight.

heyhey guys, thought I’d put an alternate view up… forgot to put a helper in… dammit, ok, I have another idea anyway, next one will have a proper child and a helper in!
Ha! Nice Corey. These Holiday’s all run together, so might as well mash them all in there. He can hold a sparkler while wearing 4 Leaf Clover boxers. 🙂
What did Father Celebration bring you? Mmmm…Turkey flavored pancakes. 🙂
Father Celebration came to my house riding Billy the blue-tailed Bunny with his helper pilgrim and gave me a box… just a box, cutbacks have been severe

By the end of the season, I’m sure all the Santas” are a bit crazy…

Some great stuff in here as always!
Since I had the time today, had to join in. 😉

Doh! Now I read all the instructions… y’know… about the helper and the kid being required.
Umm… he ate them! Yup, that’s it, he ate them. All gone…
Funny as hell! Love it man!
Great job Jason. I saw your post on my way home last night and when I saw the pic the first thing I thought of was like you replied that the kid and the helper were in his belly. I love it Jason. Great job.
Ok, here’s mine, as promised.
Can’t blame the kid, really.
