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 Bluesky, Patreon chat, or the Evil Inc Subreddit.

TRANSCRIPT

Panel 3
Rose: “Say… do you think you could open the door now? There’s not much air in here.”

14 years and counting…

Posted on February 14, 2014 by Brad Guigar
Today marks 14 years of my doing a daily comic strip on the Web — and the beginning of the second full year since I left my day job to fulfill my lifelong goal of being a full-time professional cartoonist. I couldn’t be more thrilled than I am today. It’s been an amazing year. And I couldn’t have done it without you. It may not seem like much, but every time you visit my site, you help contribute to advertising revenue that helps keep my family afloat. I’ve come to really rely on that advertising revenue over the past year, and I want you to know — I really appreciate that you come here for a few minutes every day. Your support means the world to me. So, thank you. I’ve got some exciting things planned for this year. Stick around! On the event of my ten-year anniversary, I wrote a seven-part series about my personal history in webcomics. If you’re interested, It starts here.
