Chapter 17, Page 22b: Artificial Love

The macronanoes feed on genuine emotion — which makes HoloClone Miss Match a particularly dangerous target.

Dr. Muskiday programmed her devotion himself. She may express love with overwhelming intensity, but there is no emotional uncertainty underneath it for the macronanoes to consume. His artificial love algorithm has created the perfect trap.

Unfortunately, that realization leaves Muskiday with something much harder to digest.


Evil Inc Erotica: The Doctor Is In

Last week’s Evil Inc Erotica release took us inside a fertility clinic where the bedside manner was professional, the treatment was unconventional, and the doctor had considerably more hands-on experience than anyone expected.

The new illustration introduced Dr. Deepwell, his nervous patient Natalie, and her increasingly concerned boyfriend, Todd. Then, the accompanying prose story explored the entire examination in all its medically dubious, tentacle-intensive detail.

It’s a monster-romance scenario with a clinical setting, a worried boyfriend, and a doctor who is extremely confident in his treatment plan.

Look for both the illustration and the complete prose story on Patreon.

Hey Comics, Kids! S02E19 – Summer book reviews… G-Man, Amulet and Skullkickers

Hey Comics Kids podcast logoBe sure to visit our Patreon page! (patreon.com/heycomicskids ) A little background on this one. When I went to Special Edition: NYC, a comic-creator-focused convention in New York City, I returned home with some souvenirs for the boys. But instead of the usual toys and games, I brought books. The response was mixed. But in less than two days, each boy had devoured the books I had gotten them. This podcast contains their reviews of both books (as well as a Alex’s review of the first two volumes of Skullkickers, which writer Jim Zubkavich kindly gave me after the show). If you have kids between nine and 13, my boys heartily recommend the following graphic novels for a little summer reading.
