What? Is this supposed to be the finale?

Well, no. This wouldn't be very wholesome. There's an unwritten rule that Christmas themed content needs to be wholesome. There's a little conundrum, though: If I release the finale next Tuesday, it's after Christmas. Since the events will take place during Christmas ... ahem, sorry, ... Smartmas™, this would be a little late. For this reason, I have decided to release the next comic early, i.e., on Christmas eve. If you want to wait till Tuesday to read it, that is fine, of course.

Comic transcript

Panel 1:
Tucan't is in their evil lair. The monitors show status updates about Smartmas™. Suddenly, H shows up.
H: AHA! I knew you were behind that Smartmas nonsense! What have you done to brainwash everyone into participating in this mindless consumerism?
T: What? Nothing.
Panel 2:
H: Don’t deny it Tucan’t. I will put an end to this madness. The people will wake up and remember the true meaning of Christmas.
Panel 3:
T: But I didn’t brainwash anyone. People signed up on their own. Smartmas™ was just the logical next step and I found a way to monetize it. Is that so bad?
Panel 4:
H: So you’re telling me that Smartmas is not one of your evil plans and you don’t want to do anything evil with it?
Panel 5:
T: Well, I am basically spying on everyone to sell their data; I sell them cheap, unsustainable goods, manufactured under slavery-like conditions from materials sourced without any regard for climate impact and destroy small businesses in the process. But is that really “evil” by today’s standards?
Panel 6:
H: And the money you make with it?
T: Oh, yes. That is for evil plans. But those will come later.
