I am trying to see the humor, but I kind of lost it around the second comic, when the whole thing became absolute chaos. I really couldn't tell what was going on or who was saying what. I like the concept, but it was unfortunately frustrating because it seemed to be playing entirely on an absurdist principle - a dragon having an advent calendar - but why would a dragon have an advent calendar? And the theme did not really follow - perhaps if the calendar had knights and additions to a dragon's treasure hoard, things that made sense for a dragon - rather than what seemed to be normal humans shopping for mattresses (?) and searching for their lost dogs, only to get murdered after being reunited with said canine. I'm not going to downvote because I like to encourage artists - but as (hopefully) constructive criticism, this was a confusing riot of colors and shapes with not much humor in it.

like the one and only panda said, I thought of it as ordinary people (humans, goblins, vampires), who accidentally got into that cave. Some knew they were going to meet a dragon, but most didn't. I think the whole point of the absurdist premise is that it doesn't make much sense. I did make a comic with an 'ad' for the advent calendar, but it doesn't explain much ;)
