Intermission – April 21 — Evolution Success

Build-a-Baddie Returns (And It’s Bigger, Badder, and More Chaotic)

The last Build-a-Baddie Poll was such a hit, it spun off not one but two projects — a microfic and a 1,500-word short story!

So naturally… we’re doing it again.

Welcome back to Build-a-Baddie — the crowd-sourced character experiment where you decide:

  • The creature

  • The personality

  • The situation they’re caught in

I take your winning combo and turn it into a brand-new illustration.

There’s also a Wildcard section if you want to whisper your weirdest ideas into the void. No promises… but I will read them.

Voting opens this week on Patreon. Bring your best (and worst) ideas.

Transcript — Evolution Success Stories

A single-panel cartoon shows two bug-like creatures standing on a forest floor surrounded by large green leaves. Both have tall, thin, purple bodies with spindly limbs and antennae. The bug on the right has colorful, symmetrical butterfly wings with orange, black, and white patterns and looks relatively normal — an evolution success story The bug on the left has a strange, mismatched set of wings that resemble bold, graphic signage instead of natural wings. The wings are black with bright orange arrows and large words pointing in different directions, including “TASTY,” “HERE,” and “YUM!” with arrows directing attention toward the bug’s own body. The malformed-wing bug looks uneasy, while the butterfly-wing bug looks on. Beneath the comic, a caption reads: “All I’m saying is… it’s easy to be a fan of evolution if all you hear about are the success stories…”

To the right of the panel is a blue box that reads: “Intermission — The Evil Inc storyline will continue next week.”

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.
