I've posted Smitty Christmas comics twice before, but those were from some of his earlier days and focused on Smitty himself. Here we see Smitty's younger brother Herby trying his best to be a Dennis the Menace, but being foiled by his own desire for Christmas presents. It's a clever way to get Herby to be good, but I wonder if they'll stay blank the whole month or not. It would kind of spoil the surprise, but it would be interesting to slowly add things to the "hidden" lists to give Herby some extra incentive. Maybe some of the things could get crossed out, too, to really make him wonder.
