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.”
In this livestream, I’m diving into the real talk every comics creator needs to hear — no fluff, no marketing buzzwords, just honest advice from the trenches.
