Chapter 17 | Page 2b: The Ol’ Battle Ax

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 BlueskyPatreon chat, or the Evil Inc Subreddit.

The Complete Greystone Inn — 50%-off the hardcover

Complete_GI_coverIf you’ve ever considered getting a copy of The Complete Greystone Inn hardcover — but were put off by that $60 hardcover price tag — your moment has come. Now through Nov. 24, you can get your copy of this 416-page tome at 50% off! Just use offer code: HC50. Greystone Inn was my first daily comics strip, running from 2000-2005. Inspired by both Who Framed Roger Rabbit and The Larry Sanders Show, it was a comic strip about a fictional syndicated comic strip called Greystone Inn. Like Roger Rabbit, Argus the gargoyle — and the other stars of the comic — were living, breathing cartoon characters who worked among humans. And, like Sanders, most of the storytelling took place behind the scenes. Click to download a PDF sampler of the strip.
