Please only comment with ONE hidden detail or reference!
There's one Loss, one Balthazar, one Miep and one crewmate. Bonus comics don't count.
FIRST PANEL
1: Balthazar (with a little scarf) is hopping by behind Chai. Glad you noticed him, UnSaxon51.
2: Chai has a cool music note Christmas sweater, referencing the music theme of his game.
SECOND PANEL
3: Wario is using a "WAAACOM", which is obviously a parody on Wacom drawing tablets. Good catch, Ethan Cross.
4: Wario has bigger sideburns than usual. I did this to make him look a bit more Scrooge-y.
5: There's a blue Fronk on the screen behind Mona.
THIRD PANEL
6: The original Loss comic can be seen on a screen in the background. Glad you recognized it even though it was blurred, The Negotiator!
7: In the same panel, we can see Wario draw his self-portrait that's also his amiibo sketch from WarioWare Gold. It was too perfect not to include that here, Generic Hero!
8: All the ordners in the background of this panel are labeled "money", as mentioned by Tolis.
9: Chai's button reflects his expression in the first and the third panel!
FOURTH PANEL
10: This week's crewmate is visible on the messenger bag of the big dog (I don't remember his name). It was quite small this time, so good eyes, Brandon Digwood!
FIFTH PANEL
11: There's an motivational poster about teamwork in the background. You're reading a little too much into it, A Sad Fat Dragon with No Friends, but I like your explanation how this alludes to Wario only being able to work with himself.
12: Even though Kazuya is wearing corporate clothes, he is still wearing his fighting gloves. You never know when a fight can break out, I guess.
SIXTH PANEL
13: A little Fronk censored Wario's "ass" in this panel. Love those little guys. Found by BenjaMan64.
14: Aerith actually sells flowers in her game. I don't know if Layton ever sells tea in one of his, but I think he could.
EIGHTH PANEL
15: Miep is sitting on one of the roofs and is indeed also wearing a scarf, Spirit of Gotham!
The details that have not been found are marked italic.

Wario’s nephew Chai looks similar to the person from the intro of WarioWare Move It
