The #GuigarChristmasCountdown Rolls On
Every day until Christmas, I’m releasing a brand-new holiday single-panel gag — and this year’s batch has already included:
- Overworked elves
- Malfunctioning snowmen
- Questionable reindeer behavior
- And Santas who are absolutely phoning it in
Next week’s cartoons keep the absurdity rolling. If you’re counting down to Christmas with me… buckle up. We’re not even halfway to the weirdest ones. Catch them on Bluesky, Patreon chat, or the Evil Inc Subreddit.

Making Comics Fifty State Tour
My wife and I drove almost 500 miles with our two kids to visit her family last weekend. That was about 7 hours on the road — which is a lot of time to kill — so we talked about a lot of stuff. One of them was my fantasy to pack up the kids one summer into a rented RV and criss-cross the US going from comic convention to comic convention. We’d see America and hit a bunch of cons in the process.
And now I see that Scott McCloud has
beaten me to the punch!McCloud is doing much the same thing to promote his book,
Making Comics, a cartooning tutorial. It’s the third book he’s written on comics theory and it looks terrific. It looks like it’s going to become my
second-favorite how-to-draw-cartoons book.
