The image is of a comic.
Panel one depicts Santa Claus. He says, "Have you been naughty or nice?"
Panel two depicts a happy dog. He says, "I am ALWAYS a good boy."
Santa responds "Very nice!"
Panel three depicts Santa again. He says "...And you?"
Panel four depicts an orange cat climbing a Christmas tree, turning his head to look back at Santa.
