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.

Tales from the Con – 24-Hour Comics Day

TFTC2-131--3 Time for an all-new Tales From The Con, a weekly comic for Emerald City Comicon that I write and the talented Chris Guarrusso illustrates. This week, we take a look at 24-Hour Comics Day. I’ve been somewhat eye-rolley about the event in my webcomics-tutorial site in the past. But the question stands: Are you participating in a 24-Hour Comics Day event? If you’re not an artist, do you plan to attend an event to watch for a while? Click on the comic above to see today’s TFTC to find out how I feel about the event. Oh, and while you’re there, check out the new comic at the Emerald City Comicon Web site. This one is written by Chris Giarrusso and Gregg Schigiel and illustrated by Erik Thomson. It follows the adventure of the two ECCC mascots, the Emerald City Crusaders. It’s called Emerald City Crusader Chronicles, and it looks awesome!
