1933

Yet another low-effort shotgun-humor diagram married to a feeble attempt at salience by referring to current events. There are a couple errors as well. The plural should be "Santae", and the IUCN classification for a species with only two living members (assuming Mrs. Claus counts) is "extinction warning", not "critically endangered". Although if we are to take Randall's word for Santa Claus being a vampire, it is improper to refer to Santa Claus as a living being at all, making IUCN classifications inapplicable. This also invalidates Santa's stated position in the presidential line of succession (I guess we're referring to the US line of succession). The 25th Amendment states that the President is to be succeeded by the Vice President in the event of his death, which would seem to necessitate that any person succeeding to the presidency must himself be alive. In any case, the 9th person in the line of presidential succession is Sonny Perdue, the Secretary of Agriculture.

And just as an aside, it was stupid to go for the whole vampire angle in the first place. The only quality of Santa that has anything even related to vampires is the entering houses thing, which of course he contradicts. This is like saying Usain Bolt is a zombie because he runs fast.
