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.”
The Hussian School of Art is located on the second floor of Philadelphia’s historic Bourse Building.
When I transitioned to full-time cartooning in April of 2012, I mentioned that one of the things I wanted to do that I didn’t previously have the time to pursue was teaching at the college level. Eighteen months later, I have some very good news to share.
In January, I will be teaching a senior-level course on Arts Entrepreneurship at Hussian School of Art. Located in Philadelphia’s historic Bourse Building, Hussian is a private vocational school for graphic design and commercial art.
For a long time now, I’ve argued (sometimes loudly on Webcomics Weekly) that art schools need to do a better job of preparing their students for the Real World they’re being thrust into. And that means an overwhelming probability of freelance work and running a small business centered around one’s craft — not the studio jobs and staff positions that were prevalent decades ago. In short, it’s not enough to teach a student to draw or design. To really serve the students, an art school needs to teach them entrepreneurship.
Now I get to back up those words with action. And I’m super excited to have the chance to do exactly that at Hussian.
