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.

Courting Disaster: Jan. 30, 2009


Courting Disaster, my weekly comic about sex, love, and relationships updates every Friday. You’ll laugh your pants off.

This week’s question…

A reader writes… Q: I’m 24 this year, and the last two women I’ve dated have both been older than me. I was really hoping to have a serious and stable relationship with the latest girl, who is three years older. Unfortunately, she tells me it bothers her that I’m younger. She says it makes her feel insecure. My friends are mostly in their late 20s or 30s because I’m more comfortable with them and share a similar mindset. I’ve felt a large gap when mixing with people my age. But these older people are mostly attached or married, and sometimes I really feel lonely. What can I do to get back on track to be what I’m supposed to be at my age?

Don’t answer here… go on over to the CD site and offer some advice.
