Intermission – April 21 — Evolution Success

Posted on April 21, 2026 by Brad Guigar

Build-a-Baddie Returns (And It’s Bigger, Badder, and More Chaotic)

The last Build-a-Baddie Poll was such a hit, it spun off not one but two projects — a microfic and a 1,500-word short story!

So naturally… we’re doing it again.

Welcome back to Build-a-Baddie — the crowd-sourced character experiment where you decide:

  • The creature

  • The personality

  • The situation they’re caught in

I take your winning combo and turn it into a brand-new illustration.

There’s also a Wildcard section if you want to whisper your weirdest ideas into the void. No promises… but I will read them.

Voting opens this week on Patreon. Bring your best (and worst) ideas.

Transcript — Evolution Success Stories

A single-panel cartoon shows two bug-like creatures standing on a forest floor surrounded by large green leaves. Both have tall, thin, purple bodies with spindly limbs and antennae. The bug on the right has colorful, symmetrical butterfly wings with orange, black, and white patterns and looks relatively normal — an evolution success story The bug on the left has a strange, mismatched set of wings that resemble bold, graphic signage instead of natural wings. The wings are black with bright orange arrows and large words pointing in different directions, including “TASTY,” “HERE,” and “YUM!” with arrows directing attention toward the bug’s own body. The malformed-wing bug looks uneasy, while the butterfly-wing bug looks on. Beneath the comic, a caption reads: “All I’m saying is… it’s easy to be a fan of evolution if all you hear about are the success stories…”

To the right of the panel is a blue box that reads: “Intermission — The Evil Inc storyline will continue next week.”

Wizard World Chicago — THIS WEEK!

WizardWorld_ChicagoI know it’s all cool and junk to hate Wizard World. But I gotta tell you, I think they’re awesome. And they treat me super-nice. I’m as excited for Wizard World Chicago as I used to get for Comic Con International. I’ve got an awesome spot in Artist Alley — Table B-21 — right around the corner from the legendary Neal Adams. I’ll be doing two great panels, and I’ll have all of the Evil Inc books, The Webcomics Handbook, Phables, and original art on hand. Plus, I’ll be opening a commission list at the table for personalized drawings and sketchbook pieces. EvilIncFlierChicago2

’Little help…?

Like I said, Wizard World has been very, very kind to me. The space I have for Artist Alley is waaaay more than I had expected. So much so, I’m a little unprepared for it. My little banner stand is gonna get lost in that 30 square feet of space. So, I’m putting the word out: If you live in the Chicago area and you have a lighting rig I can borrow from Thursday through Sunday, I’ll make it worth your while to deliver it and pick it up. Here’s what I’m looking for (minus the lights, of course). lighting_rig I can use something like that to hang my extra-large convention banner from. It’s that big monstrosity the the rear of the booth set-up below. If you have any other ideas (the vinyl banner is gonna be too heavy for PVC pipe), feel free to shoot them my way. 2015-05-07 15.15.22

And more…

Evil-Inc-After-Dark-logo If you’re a Patreon supporter, be sure to stop by and give me some feedback on Evil Inc After Dark, uncensored Courting Disaster and the other cool stuff going on over there. jasonPLUS… for the first time ever, EVEN MORE GUIGAR. My youngest brother, Jason, will be driving in from Bad Axe, Michigan, and spending a little time at the booth (when he’s not out drooling over the Knight Rider car, scoping Star Trek panels, and stuff like that). And, ladies… He’s S-I-N-G-L-E.
