Chapter 17 | Page 3b: Hot Stuff

Posted on December 19, 2025 by Brad Guigar

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!

NSFW comics — Evil Inc and Courting Disaster

Posted on May 26, 2015 by Brad Guigar
Patreon_textbug So I pitched something to my Patreon supporters, and they’ve responded in a big way. Exclusive to supporters at the $10/month level (and higher), I’ve started doing NSFW comics — featuring both Evil Inc and Courting Disaster. The response has been very encouraging. So I wanted to give you a little peek into what Ive got planned. The uncensored Courting Disaster cartoons have been a blast! It’s actually quite liberating to take the gloves off and do that kind of humor without any restrictions. The stuff I’ve posted for my Patreon supporters has been really well-received. If you’re one of the folks who have requested the return of CD, this is it. And, in my opinion, it’s better than ever! But it’s the NSFW Evil Inc comics — dubbed “Evil Inc After Dark” — that I’m really excited about. They’ve turned into longer-form stories (like Phables used to be). They’re little vignettes that explore some of the topics that I could never put into the daily comic. For starters, Evil Inc still has a dedicated newspaper following. But besides that, these are stories that just deserve to go further than four panels. I’ll be posting the first of these extended Evil Inc After Dark stories later this week. Here’s a sneak peek… EI_After_Dark_002 And I have another full-page story slated for after that…. EI_After_Dark_003 As you can see, many of these start off with something that happened in the daily strip, and then go veering off into a completely different direction. And, along with those, I’ve got more uncensored CD. All for my Patreon backers at the $10/month level (and higher), along with everything else offered at those levels — like monthly digital comics, desktop wallpapers, behind-the-scenes sketches and more! Signing up is easy. You’ll never get charged for more than you agree to, and you can maintain your privacy. Plus, you’ll be helping support one of your favorite cartoonists in a significant way!*
*It’s true. I can stop asking Scott Kurtz for coffee money.
