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

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!”

Katsucon — Feb. 13-15



It’s hard to believe that we’re careening headlong into the new convention season already. For example, I’ll be promoting my booth in the Small Press Area of the New York Comic Con next month.

But before that, I’m going to kick this season off in style, appearing at Katsucon in Arlington, Va, on Feb 13-15. Better still, I’ll be hanging out with two of my Halfpixel pals, Dave and Kris.

If you life on the Right Coast, and if have a copy of our blockbuster book, How To Make Webcomics, this is your chance to get three out of the four authors’ signatures and maybe even buy a sketch. (Don’t worry, we’re gonna drag Scott out here yet…)

We’re really looking forward to this appearance, and we’re hoping to see you there!
