Premise
Ziggy takes a job as a street Santa to raise money for the poor, accompanied by his faithful dog Fuzz. Surrounded by crooked Santas, sneaky thieves and a suspicious cop, Ziggy remains honest and kind. Ziggy does not speak any dialogue in the special.
gollark: Perhaps I could *prepay* people in melons to find datas about me.
gollark: At least ask people beforehand.
gollark: That really reads more like a bizarre passive-aggressive threat.
gollark: I am willing to pay people absolutely nothing of "real" financial value for finding and reporting "personal data leaks". Partly because payments are irritating to do and have security problems and partly because it would possibly encourage stuff like finding my data somewhere and creating/reporting fake sites. However, I *can* pay you in krist, an entirely fake not-really-cryptocurrency on a few Minecraft servers, or melons.
gollark: That's... not really better?
