An enchanting night with the Magic Carrot and the Terrifying Stick.

A four-panel comic strip depicts a mother explaining the Krampus myth to her children. In the first panel, a monstrous Krampus with horns and a long tongue holds a terrified child. In the second, the mother cheerfully promises gifts for good behavior. In the third, she's shown blindfolded, holding a bundle of sticks, while one child binds another child to a chair, saying '...nah, we're ok.' In the final panel, the mother looks confused and thoughtful, pondering the children's response. The comic humorously contrasts the traditional Krampus myth with a modern, overly literal interpretation of 'gifts' for good behavior.
