The Tooncels all gather round at Rick's crib to wait for Santa Daddy. What has he got in his sack?

Commentary:

So yeah Merry late Christmas! Here's the fashionably late Christmas cartoon. It was sort of a bitch and a half to animate singing for the first time and at some parts it straight up looks like some characters are having a seizure but I like how it turned out and there's some sentimentality to it but of course I had to put in jokes. I recorded each of the characters singing verses and then stacked them on top of each other for the authenticity of having it sound like it actually sounds when children are singing in a chorus, everybody off-key and on different parts of the song.

And no, the character who kind of sounds like Rick and points out Santa's fat sack isn't an animation error that's actually Bandit, he was a character I had in mind at the conception of this series and was one of Rick's classmates in Demon Dilemma who I wanted to have lines in that but couldn't think of a way to integrate and the thing was already long enough so I cut for time and I decided to finally have him properly speak before the year ended so he can be one of the OG characters. He was actually originally a ferret but then I came up with Freddy based on the Japanese ferret pet pages that show on my social media feed so Bandit became a weasel but now I'm realizing he kind of looks like a kangaroo or maybe some sort of chihuahua. I'll probably have fun in the future riffing on his species ambiguity.

There's randomly a little more "political" humor in this than in previous ones idk why not really partisan it's just I randomly had the string of words 'Kamala Harris bikini magazine' come to mind and knew it was planted to my brain from God to put that out in the world. Also featuring JFK's cutie patootie grandson.

Gave a shoutout to some of my friends from the art department I hope to collab with in the new year and dedicated this to a dear Twitter mutual who died earlier this year.

YouTube version. You'll note that there's a slight difference between the NG and YT versions. It's that I had a new idea for a joke the morning I posted to NG and didn't post to YT till later. I also began to edit the credits accordingly so my NG handle is present in the NG version and my YT handle in the YT versions.
