Dr. Haynus

Dr. Haynus, a brilliant evil scientist, was the victim of a lab experiment gone horribly awry. Not much is known about the circumstances, but the only way he could be saved was grafting his brain onto his ex-wife’s dog, Scruffy.

Scruffy and Haynus live in a symbiotic relationship. Scruffy’s brain survived the operation and remains in control of the dog’s body. Haynus’ brain is sustained by the dog’s body, but is unable to control the body unless he focuses all of his brainpower into overriding the dog’s own brain. Nerve impulses – such as sensory input – is shared between the two brains. In other words, they both feel the same pain, etc.

Haynus is able to electically “speak” through a speaker mouted on the jar containing his brain.

Evil Inc. is about a corporation run by and for super-villains. Join the CEO (Chief Evil Officer) Evil Atom, a Silver-Age-villain-turned-businessman; Lightning Lady, a recovering supervillainess; Dr. Haynus, a brain-in-a-jar symbiotically joined to a puppy dog; and the rest of the employees who give a new meaning to “punching in” for the day.

This comic is a spin-off of my first webcomic, Greystone Inn, a comic strip about a comic strip starring a gargoyle. Greystone ran daily from 2000 to 2005 and was also published in a few newspapers. Lightning Lady was introduced in Greystone as and quickly became a central character. A few other characters have also been transplanted into the new strip, including Lightning Lady's boyfriend, Keagan, a stand-up comedian who used to be head writer for the fictional "Greystone" comic strip. Argus the gargoyle, the star of Greystone Inn is not among those who were transplanted into the new strip. However, that doesn't mean he's lost forever.
