Description

Here's the transcription of the comic:

Panel 1: Woman with red hair and glasses speaks. "We are conducting an experiment to see if joy comes from receiving a present, or if 'it's the thought that counts.'"

Panel 2: "To that end, we've given each of you a gift. One is a new video game, and one is a 'placebo gift.'"

Panel 3: "After receipt of said gifts, your pupil dilation and heart rate will be monitored at regular intervals."

Panel 4: "Now then, this is a lie designed to cut the cost of Christmas in half."

Panel 5: "Today, 50% attrition among test subjects."
