Brad Guigar
Brad Guigar is one of the longest-running webcartoonists in the world, with a career spanning over 20 years. Simply put, he’s been publishing on the Web from the beginning. His comic, “Evil Inc,” has been running since 2005. It features a corporation run by supervillains… which used to be a ridiculous concept.
