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.

Halloween comics – Vampires

Posted on October 28, 2014 by Brad Guigar
I love vampires. Always have; always will. So it’s no surprise that the bloodsuckers have turned up more-than-occasionally in the halls of Evil Inc. Here are a few of my favorites.

The very first week of Evil Inc

2005-06-09-Thursday1In a storyline that started alllll the way back in May of 2005, Lightning Lady, former Greystone Inn secretary, goes to Evil Inc to get a job. During the interview, she discovers (above) that the company’s Marketing Department is largely staffed by vampires.

Blood drives and other parties

Since then, the fangs have been bared at Evil Inc fairly often. 2011-03-08-Blood-drive-vampiresFor example, there was a blood drive at the office. You can probably guess who that attracted… 2010-10-18-VLADAnd, of course, there was the meeting of V.L.A.D. — the Vampire League for Anti-Defamation. 2009-07-10-breakroomAnd this standalone — one of my favorites for its subtle darkness. Comics-adAll week I will be highlighting Halloween comics from years past.
