Today’s page takes us back to Ralph’s Diner, where Captain Heroic proves—once again—that nothing rattles him… not even a surprise soup bath.
Hailey is mortified, Captain Heroic is dripping, and somewhere across the diner, Yazmine Velour is livestreaming the whole thing as heart emojis rain from the internet. It’s a small moment, but one that says a lot about who Cap really is—and why people can’t help falling for him.

This week's commissioned MicroFic delivers exactly what you’d want from a pairing between Dynasty and Father Christmas.
-
Yes, he lives up to his name.
-
Yes, Dynasty knew exactly what she was doing.

No, the North Pole will never be the same.
I also posted the Goblin Girl MicroFic from the Monster Girl poll — and the response was so good, I might need to make these poll-powered MicroFics a recurring thing!
Two New Sponsors of Evil
Please welcome two new Sponsors of Evil!

Bunky Nuglets. Bunky is a tightly-drawn personality-based comedy by Anthony Orr. From the creator’s blog on the first day of posting the comic:
The idea of Bunky Nuglets came to me a while back while setting at a coffee shop, I started drawing these weird little characters based on people I know just for fun. Then I started thinking, “Hey, maybe I should do something with this.” So I started to develop the idea within the period of a year. Developing characters, working on strips and gags. Some of them based on my life, some based on fabrication, and some a little of both.
The other is a game — and a darned interesting one, too, from my perspective.
TinyWarz is a free massively multiplayer, turn-based game where players battle other players and computer controlled bandits on distant worlds. Time is an important factor in TinyWarz – players are given a limited amount of time to finish their turns and are rewarded for early completion. In TinyWarz, each player is represented by a commander which they can customize through skills and abilities that are purchased with level points.
TinyWarz is designed to be played through your web-browser. However, unlike traditional web-based games, TinyWarz utilizes graphics instead of text. TinyWarz is also fast paced – players need to make quick decisions concerning their units. Fast game-play creates battles that can last a few minutes to an hour.They support Evil, so you go and support them.
