Merry Christmas

Squash the Dog is spooning black powder into a paper tube. "How much gunpowder goes into a christmas cracker?" Señor Banana is sucking on a candy cane while replacing bulbs in an old string of christmas lights, which is plugged in. Bok Choi is pouring scotch into a saucepan over an open flame, while humming "tum tum figgy pudding" -- in the last frame all three are black frizzy lumps waving happily, "Have a safe Christmas!"
