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.
TRANSCRIPT
Panel 1(Later) Hailey: “Come on, Rose! This is a big opportunity for me! Just tell me what Cap’s ‘usual’ is!”
Panel 2 Rose (from inside the storage closet): “Fine. He loves chicken soup — extra crackers — and a tall lemonade.”
Panel 3 Rose: “Say… do you think you could open the door now? There’s not much air in here.”
Panel 4 Hailey: “If you look in the corner, you’ll see an old battle ax.”
Consider this another proof-of-concept podcast. We recorded this one on the drive to school using my new Simple Lav microphone plugged into my iPhone (running the 99¢ Audio Memos app). I tell you this because I’m hoping one of you audiophiles can help me dampen the background noise in future podcast — if we decide to keep doing these this way.
Superman vs Batman
My two sons (ages 12 and 8) take the debate beyond the lame “who would win in a fight” potboiler. We get down to the nitty gritty… which is the better superhero? And the answers they come up with are way more complex than I was prepared for.
The boys are really enjoying recording the podcast — and reading the reactions on Twitter, Facebook, etc. So if you’d like to hear them address a specific topic or if you have a show idea, please hit the comments below.
