Christmas Comics That Make the Holiday Season More Jolly

This comic ranks holiday aromas with the seriousness of a Michelin chef and the enthusiasm of someone who’s just ripped open a brand-new console. Sugar cookies? Good. Christmas trees? Really good. But the unmistakable scent of freshly-opened electronics? That’s where the duck hits full holiday nirvana.

It’s funny because it captures a truth many of us won’t admit out loud: yes, cookies are delightful, and pine smells nostalgic—but nothing beats that oddly specific “new tech” smell on Christmas morning. It’s the aroma of pure joy, unfiltered excitement, and a credit-card bill coming in January.
