UPDATED with new comic!

Let's have some holiday fun!

Here's a little comic featuring Santa and one of the iconic game characters from the GOG.com catalog. They seem to be engaged in a conversation, but--OH NOES!--the captions are missing from the speech balloons. HALP!

COMIC HERE

Can you caption this comic for us? And, you know, post it here? If we like your captions there's a prize!

First place prize: a whole pack of games that we currently have on our holiday promo!

Two runner-up prizes: a $9.99 giftcode!

Muster up your gaming holiday cheer, and get creative!

The second batch of prizes will be handed out on Saturday, and we'll have another comic that needs captioning posted then.

Here's a little showcase for the winning entires:
1. Santa/Hitman winning comics
2. Santa/Duke Nukem winning comics - coming soon

Cleidophoros: There is no comic.
There is no Holiday Promo going on currently.

Someone was a bit early..?
There's going to be on on Thursday, when we announce the first winners. The person who wins gets all the games from that promo. :-) No worries!

Leroux: So on Thursday you'll have a Holiday Promo on top of the Holiday Sale that's supposed to start on Wednesday? *confused*
The holiday promo (or sale, or whatever you want to call it) that we launch tomorrow will be still active on Thursday, when we announce the first winners.
Thank you for submissions!

The winners will be announced in an hour.

The new comic for you to caption will be posted then as well.

PS. If you're working on an entry right now, let's say that you still have 30 minutes to post it. I'll make sure to specify a deadline for the next part of the contest.

Cavalary: It's up to you to come up with a good reason ;-)

What's up with Santa's eyes in that last pane?

SpiderFighter: Searched the site and can't find the original winners from the Hitman contest. Where are they?
Where exactly did you search? :-)

WhiteElk: The OP was the first place i looked ;-p Probably wasn't the only one. i wonder at how many collective hours were lost by all the people searching for winners list. And for the new comic. Is more efficient on the whole, for the games organizer to post updates in the OP. My own preference would be a new thread for each new comic. But an updated OP works as well. Just a thought :)
You make a good point. I'll fix that :-)

Edit: done.

Also, when the contest is over, we'll post a gallery of all the winning entries.
