On the left side of the image, Dr. Can Do stands on a sandy path outside a suburban house, facing the viewer at a three-quarter angle, looking up at the blazing sun high above and laughing. He is a blocky, Minecraft-style character with a cube-shaped head, light beige skin, white bushy eyebrows, a thick white moustache, and small dark eyes. He wears a white lab coat over a white dress shirt with a red necktie, a dark brown belt, dark navy-blue pants, and dark brown shoes, and holds a small grey hammer in his right hand. A stone-and-wood house sits in the middle-left background along the sandy path, with red tulips and green shrubs in the front yard. The scene is set outdoors on a bright, sunny summer day with a clear blue sky, emphasising the hot Christmas weather. The right ~40% of the image is a plain beige panel reserved for text.

It is morning. The sun is hot on the sand path. Dr. Can Do stands by his home and grins up at the sun. He has a joke for Christmas. It is the best joke in all the land. 'I will tell my joke when we dine,' he says. 'All will giggle so hard their hats fall off.'

On the right side of the image, Jill stands at the water's edge on a sandy beach on a bright, sunny afternoon. She is a blocky, Minecraft-style character with a square head, shoulder-length auburn/copper-orange hair with a side-swept fringe, large round dark eyes, light/fair skin, and a laughing open-mouthed expression. She wears a bright orange sleeveless top with a brown belt at the waist and dark brown pants, and is kicking off her brown boots at the shoreline, one foot bare. She holds a grey-and-brown pickaxe in her right hand. In the shallow water nearby, Minx — a blocky, Minecraft-style white dog with large pointed ears with pink inner ear details, round black eyes, a black nose, a pink tongue, and a red collar — splashes about with just her head poking above the surface. A calm ocean stretches to the horizon. Long afternoon shadows stretch across the sand. The left ~40% of the image is a plain beige panel reserved for text.

Jill is at the shore. She stands in the sand by the waves. Minx splashes in and has fun. Dr. Can Do tells Jill a joke. But Jill yells the end of it before he can! 'That was my joke!' he yells. 'Jill stole my punchline!'

On the left side of the image, a Minecraft-style town square is decorated for Christmas. A large green Christmas tree covered in colourful lights stands in the centre-left, surrounded by oversized red-and-white striped gift boxes and smaller wrapped presents. A brick building with a peaked roof is visible behind the tree. In the foreground on the left, Jill stands facing the viewer at a three-quarter angle, looking up at the decorated tree with a small open-mouthed smile. She is a blocky Minecraft-style character with a square head, shoulder-length auburn/copper-orange hair with a side-swept fringe, large round dark eyes, and light/fair skin. She wears a bright orange sleeveless top with a brown belt at the waist, dark brown pants, and brown boots, and holds a grey-and-brown pickaxe in her right hand. Beside her stands The Mage, a blocky Minecraft-style character in a dark charcoal-black hooded robe with gold/yellow trim along the edges and a gold diamond-shaped emblem on the chest, dark boots, light/warm beige skin, narrow angular dark eyes, and dark hair mostly hidden under the hood. He holds an open brown book in one hand and a tall wooden staff topped with a glowing light-blue crystal gem in the other. The right ~40% of the image is plain beige background reserved for text. The scene is outdoors on a bright, clear day.

Jill and The Mage stand by a big plant. It has little lamps on it. Big gifts sit by the plant. Dr. Can Do tells one more joke. But The Mage tells the end of it! He does not look up from his book. 'Not once more!' Dr. Can Do yells. Jill giggles.

On the right side of the image, The Mage stands facing forward beneath a large decorated Christmas tree adorned with colourful lights and a candy-cane-striped ornament. He is a blocky, Minecraft-style character with a short, stocky build and square proportions. He wears a dark charcoal-black hooded robe with gold/yellow trim along the edges and a gold diamond-shaped emblem on the chest, along with dark boots. He has light/warm beige skin, narrow angular dark eyes, and dark hair mostly hidden under the hood. He holds an open brown book in one hand and a tall wooden staff topped with a glowing light-blue crystal gem in the other. He has a wide grin on his face, looking down at a blue wrapped present sitting right at his feet. Additional red, green, and cyan gift boxes are scattered around the base of the tree on wooden platforms. The scene is set indoors in a Minecraft-style environment with a green carpeted floor. The left ~40% of the image is a plain beige panel reserved for text.

The Mage finds a gift. 'This gift is for me,' he says with a big smug grin. Dr. Can Do is upset. But he still has one more joke. It is his best one, and it is a secret. He will tell it when they dine, and nobody will snatch that punchline.

On the left side of the image, several Minecraft-style blocky characters are seated around a long wooden dining table inside a cosy log cabin. At the head of the table, Dr. Can Do faces the viewer, holding an unfolded Christmas cracker joke slip and reading it aloud with a laughing expression. He is a blocky character with a cube-shaped head, light beige skin, white bushy eyebrows, a thick white moustache, and small dark eyes. He wears a white lab coat over a white dress shirt with a red necktie, dark navy-blue pants, and a gold paper crown from a Christmas cracker on his head. Beside him, Jill faces the viewer with a laughing open-mouthed expression, having just blurted out the punchline. She has a square head, shoulder-length auburn/copper-orange hair with a side-swept fringe, large round dark eyes, and light/fair skin. She wears a bright orange sleeveless top with a brown belt and dark brown pants, with a gold paper crown on her head. Across the table, The Mage sits in his dark charcoal-black hooded robe with gold/yellow trim and a gold diamond-shaped emblem on the chest, also wearing a gold paper crown, laughing along. Minx, a small blocky white dog with a red collar, sits on the floor near the table. All characters sit before plates of food, with white candles lit on the table. The warm indoor scene is lit by glowing lanterns mounted on the wooden walls, with windows visible in the background. The right ~40% of the image is a plain beige/cream area reserved for text overlay.

Time to dine! Hats on. Candles lit. Dr. Can Do starts his best joke at the table. But Jill yells the punchline before he can end it! All of them giggle and giggle. The Mage snorts so hard his hat drops off. Minx barks. Jill has stolen the punchline once more!

On the right side of the image, Jill is lying in bed, viewed from above, with a content, closed-eye smile. She is a blocky, Minecraft-style character with a square head, shoulder-length auburn/copper-orange hair with a side-swept fringe spread across the pillow, and light/fair skin. She is tucked under cosy blankets in a warm wooden bedroom with wooden plank floors and wooden furniture including a headboard and shelving. The scene has warm indoor lighting suggesting nighttime/bedtime. The left ~40% of the image is a plain beige area reserved for text.

Jill is in bed with a belly full of ham. She smiles. 'That was such a fun Christmas,' she says. 'Best of all, I stole the punchline.' Then she dozes off. She snores a tiny snore.
