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!”
I just finished
Countdown: Arena #1 and it’s time to spread some props. I’m really enjoying this series way more than I thought I would
The concept is… well, it’s another twist on a pretty tired concept. It’s another Contest of Champions / Secret Wars / etc. concept. The twist is: Instead on pitting heroes against heroes in a “Who would win” scenario, this series pits the heroes against their multiversal dogglegangers.
But the art is what’s carrying this thing over for me. Pencilled by Scott McDaniel and inked by Andy Owens, this is just a sharp, cleverly presented story. The page designs are innovative and imaginative and the inks are strong and crisp. Big kudos to this visual team.
Here’s a
sneak peek.
Now… how ’bout some villians…?
