On Santa's Knee

Today's gag is featured in this month's New Era.

It's not the first time I've drawn a missionary sitting on Santa's lap for that magazine. Below is a gag they published years ago.
Ignoring the coloring job on the old joke, I think both of these gags work because there is something inherently funny about seeing a grown man sitting on Santa's knee. And I think this year's gag is funnier because if one grown man on a knee is funny, two grown men on a knee is a riot! Next year I'll test the law of diminishing returns when I submit a joke with an entire missionary district on Santa's knee.

In the end, all the hard work of these creatures, ghouls, and behemoths is ruined by our infinate ability to mock. So I ask you, dear reader, who are the real monsters here?
