Happy Holidays...

Santa’s elves are often pictured as joyful, tireless workers. But when you look closer, something feels off. They work year-round, produce endless toys, and never seem to catch a break. That’s a full-time gig with no union in sight.

This cartoon shines a light on that injustice in a comically cynical way. If you think about it, Santa gets all the glory, while his crew handles the grind. What happens the other 364 days of the year? Are the elves stuck in workshop overtime with no dental benefits? The humor lies in turning a magical tale into a workplace comedy—and honestly, we can all relate.
