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.
Transcript
Panel 1
Hailey (distraught that she has dumped hot soup on Captain Heroic): Omigod Omigod Omigod…
Captain Heroic (turning to another person eating at the diner): Excuse me. Would you hand me a napkin, please? (The person hands him a napkin)
Panel 2
Hailey: I’m so sorry Captain Heroic, sir. I didn’t mean to — {sob}
Panel 3
Captain Heroic (handing her the napkin): Here. Please don’t cry.
Panel 4
Captain Heroic (continues): Most of my first impressions involve disintegration rays. And actual impressions. In concrete.
Panel 5
Captain Heroic: This was far more pleasant — not counting the bay leaf in my shirt.Yazmine Velour (as she livestreams the interaction from the other side of the diner, a torrent of heart emojis flow from her phone as the audience reacts): Omigod Omigod Omigod
After Dark
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!
WikiWatch: Day 2
The Evil Inc
Un-Deletion Movement is off to a strong start! I can’t thank you guys enough for the support and the kind words. There is a very
heated debate going on a Wiki over the subject as we speak.
One reader, TomXP411, provided a
very useful suggestion:
The issue is notability. What we need is to find articles, reviews, or other commentary about Evil Inc. that is not related to or controlled by Guigar. I assume that printed works (newspaper or magazine articles) would be the most influential, but I also suppose that if hundreds of us posted to our blogs about this, it might make EI notable. Actually, that would make EI notable, wouldn’t it? The very act of making a stink over the deletion of the article would make the article notable to have it replaced.
Go forth and post to your blogs and news sites. In fact, if anyone can get something published in print form, that’s even better. Then come back here and post a link to your article. Then let’s use those as supporting evidence for notability. (make sure they’re permenant links, not something that will dissapear next week…)
