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 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!”

City of Heroes comes to Mac!

Posted on January 30, 2009 by Brad Guigar

If you, like me, have been sitting on the sidelines of the City of Heroes / City of Villains world, feeling left out because you own a Mac, it’s time to rejoice.

CoH is releasing a verison for Mac. From insidemacgames.com:

Apple recently posted a new trailer for City of Heroes Mac Special Edition, the recently released super-hero themed MMO. The game allows Intel Mac owners to join in the action as a hero or villain. The Mac version features both City of Heroes and City of Villains as well an exclusive Valkyrie costume set.

Now, the bad news, if you’ve got an older Mac (or an older version of the OS), you’re still sidelined like me. It requires a Mac with an Intel processor OS and Mac OS X 10.5.5 Leopard or higher.

Order here.

I’ll be picking up mine as soon as I sell enough books to upgrade my system. In the meantime, let me know how it goes.

P.S.: I keep hearing people are playing Evil Inc characters in CoH. I’d love to see some screenshots. And if someone wants to form an official Evil Inc team, I’d be happy to designate server space for an official site/forum for you to use as a base of operations.
