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.

Hey Comics — Kids! Should Disney Buy DC Comics?

In the latest episode of “Hey Comics — Kids!” my two boys discuss the news that Disney is considering purchasing Time-Warner. And that, of course, means that Disney would own DC Comics. Since the House of Mouse already bought Marvel Comics back in ’09, that would bring both major comics publishers under one roof. It would open the door to crossover TV shows and movies, an increased budget for DC franchises — and maybe even a superhero-themed theme park to rank with the Star Wars park that Disney is currently imagineering. But should they? The view from a 12yo and an 8yo might surprise you. Listen: Hey Comics — Kids! Episode 2.
