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.

The Top 50 WTF Moments in Comics


[UGO] It’s Wednesday. You just plopped down twenty (or more) of your hard earned dollars for this week’s crop of comics. You get home, anxiously awaiting “me time.” You head for the toilet and open up this month’s latest issue of your favorite monthly. When all of the sudden…

WTF?!

That’s right, something happens to make you lose your $#!t. Whether it be a new costume that’s really an alien or the resurrection of a long dead character, comic books have a long history of turning convention on its ear. Sometimes these moments are great; sometimes, not so much. No matter what the results are, the reaction remains the same. What. The. F*ck?


This excellent piece starts with the sad story of Bill Finger and winds its way through some of the most bizarre moments in comics history. Well worth a peruse. Read the entire thing.
