Chapter 17, Page 24a: Impossible to Choose

Posted on August 5, 2026 by Brad Guigar

Captain Heroic has a showdown with Countess Influencia, but the former waitress isn't interested in going back to the diner — and she certainly isn't hearing his excuses! She has the city at her feet, and in her book, that's a win!

Fairmount City's top hero sees it differently. There's a big difference between trending and mattering. The Countess may be impossible to ignore... but that also makes her impossible to choose.

Cartoonist Showcase

If you're in the Columbus area, make plans to stop by the Billy Ireland Library & Museum on August 8th from 1-5 p.m. It's a free event, and I'll be there sketching and signing along with a bunch of my pals from the NCS.

The Wrong Way

Posted on January 29, 2025 by Brad Guigar

I’m launching a new project with my friends Kevin McShane and Dave Kellett that I am absolutely chuffed to share with you! In our new show, The Wrong Way, We teach you how to draw your favorite cartoon characters without getting sued — and spend an insane amount of time roasting each other in the process. The first episode is a banger!

You can watch new episodes for free at youtube.com/@wrongwayshow, or bonus extended cuts at patreon.com/wrongwayshow. Follow us on Bluesky for all the fun stuff coming down the line.

Here’s the pitch…

How many times has this happened to you: You’re about to draw your favorite comics or cartoon character when a lawyer from the company that owns the character shows up — ready to sue you!

Well worry no more because in each episode of The Wrong Way, we take one of your favorite pop culture characters and redraw them in a way that no court in the land could possibly convict you for.

And along the way, we share drawing tips, fun stories, and fantastic friendship. It is a fun and 100% legal way to enjoy your favorite intellectual property!

It’s a show about friendship, creativity, and plausible legal deniability. And if you pay attention, you just might learn how to draw… The Wrong Way.
