I while back I used to write for a site that chose a different character each week to write a one-page comic script for. On the Christmas of 2010, the character picked was Santa Claus, and I thought you guys might be interested in what I wrote :)
PANEL ONE, WIDE
Marc Spector and his close friends are sitting in the living room of his expensive penthouse apartment, all in high spirits. Jean-Paul and Rob are snuggling up on one sofa, Crawley is laying back on a recliner, and Marlene is on the adjacent sofa from which Marc has just risen. In the background is a large Christmas tree.
MARC: I'll be right back. This egg nog is going right through me.
PANEL TWO
Side view of Marc washing his hands in the bathroom sink.
KHONSHU (OP): It's a nice setup you've got out there, Killer.
MARC: I'm pretty sure you weren't invited.
KHONSHU (OP): Don't be like that...
PANEL THREE
Marc is looking in the mirror at Khonshu standing behind him, looking like Santa.
KHONSHU: ... I even dressed for the occasion.
MARC: Can't you just leave me alone for this one day?
PANEL FOUR
Marc has turned around and is facing Santa-Khonshu.
KHONSHU: Why do you even care? You don't believe in that stuff.
MARC: But they do.
MARC: Have you seen how happy they all are out there?
MARC: I do it for them.
PANEL FIVE
Marc is walking past Santa-Khonshu towards the door.
MARC: Now if you don't mind, I'd like to get back to them.
KHONSHU: But I haven't given you your present yet.
PANEL SIX
Close up of Marc's hand, reaching for the door-knob.
MARC (OP): Whatever it is, I doubt I'd want it.
PANEL SEVEN
Marc is standing alone in the bathroom. He is in shock, having just pulled the door off its hinges.
SFX/DOOR: KRAK
KHONSHU (OP): Oh, I think you will.
