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

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!”
Bidding has opened on the parking space previously used by Silver Age Rogue, Trickter, who met his demise in
Countdown to Final Crisis #22.
Savvy readers knew that either Pied Piper or Trickster were being set up for a dirt nap midway through the issue, when the two had a very heart-touching breakthrough in their relationship. Let’s face it, it seems as if the only reason comic-book writers waste time making us care for a character is when they’re sharpening the ax.
Trickster met his untimely end at the hands of Deadshot on a train (Solomon Grundy won the deathpool, by the way, with the closest guess: “A dramatic death on an anachronistic mode of travel.”)
