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.

“You have grown much since I last saw you, little Robin,” says longtime-villain-turned-apparent-hero Lady Shiva to longtime-Batman-sidekick-turned-more-than-capable- solo-hero Robin in a recent issue of “Robin.”
Indeed, she’s right.
For the last few years the Boy Wonder’s solo series had been so boring – bordering on bad – that I wouldn’t have shed a tear over its cancellation. And I hate it when series fail.
DC’s “One Year Later” event has helped give the character a new status quo, and novelist Adam Beechen (“What I Did On My Hypergalactic Interstellar Summer Vacation”) injected the book with new juice with his first issue, “Robin” No. 148. Read more.
