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.

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.”

Panel 5
Hailey: “There’s no battle ax in— Oh.”

Panel 6
SFX: KRAKK

Panel 7
Rose (calmly): “Thank you!”

This weekend: ConnectiCon!


Sleep? Who needs sleep? I’m going headlong from Comic Con International last week to ConnectiCon this weekend.

My buddy, Kris Straub, and I will be exhibiting all weekend long:
Friday 12:00pm – 8:00pm
Saturday 11:00am – 7:00pm
Sunday 10:00am – 4:00pm

Kris and I are doing a live version of the Webcomics Weekly podcast Saturday night, 6:30 – 7:30.

I’ll have copies of all four Evil Inc Annual Report collections as well as the Phables book. I’ll have original art on hand, too. I sell it for $100 on the site, but I knock it down to $80 for conventions, so if you ever wanted to own an original, this is an excellent opportunity.

And if you have your eye on one in particular, please drop me a line so I can have it on hand.
