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.

Godzilla!

With all of the Godzilla-mania sweeping the nation this past couple weeks, I wanted to share a little of my Godzilla fandom with you. The first is an infographic I did for the Philadelphia Daily News back in ’99. It’s badly in need of update by now, but it’s still pretty cool. Click on the thumbnail below for a full-size, readable PDF: Godzilla_2 And, from my first comic-strip series, Greystone Inn, here’s a weeklong Godzilla storyline: Click on the thumbnail below for a full-size, readable PDF: 13_1 13_2 13_3 13_4 13_5 13_6 I seem to remember doing a comic that featured a who group of Godzilla kaiju in a roast setting, but I’ll be darned if I can find it! If you remember it, too, maybe you could give me a shout! EIv8_cover-KS_bug
