Transcript

Panel 1:

Dr. Muskiday, bursting into Cassie Cruz’s office:Cassie! You need to send everybody home — NOW!

Panel 2:

(Inset panel) Cassie Cruz: I can’t do that! The quarterly wellness surveys are due by five o’clock, and if we miss compliance, corporate will send that insufferable motivational speaker again.

Susan, a supervillain motivational speaker, speaks to the assembled villains of Evil Inc: People said I’d never weaponize my childhood trauma. Look at me now.

The whiteboard has a number of phrases written in it:

Failure isn’t falling into a volcano. Failure is falling into the same volcano twice.

A hero is just a villain with better P.R.

Susan Says… Your greatest weakness can become your greatest strength… unless your weakness is silver, garlic, or emotional intimacy.

Panel 3:

Dr. Muskiday: You don’t understand! The micronanos are evolving into MACRONANOES!

Panel 4:

Dr. Muskiday: They’ll control everybody in the office. We have to get everyone out of here before…

Panel 5:

Dr. Muskiday (continues): ...it’s too late.

There is an emoji cloud enveloping Cassie’s entire head.

Five-panel “Evil Inc” comic set inside the Evil Inc office.

Panel 1: Dr. Muskiday bursts into Cassie Cruz’s office in a panic. His insect-like eyes are wide, his arms thrown dramatically into the air as he shouts, “Cassie! You need to send everybody home — NOW!” Cassie sits calmly behind her desk, turned toward him in surprise. Her office contains a laptop, paperwork, and pink file boxes.

Panel 2: An inset panel shows Cassie responding nervously from her office chair: “I can’t do that! The quarterly wellness surveys are due by five o’clock, and if we miss compliance, corporate will send that insufferable motivational speaker again…” The rest of the panel cuts to a seminar room where a stylish supervillain motivational speaker named Susan addresses a bored-looking audience of villains seated in folding chairs. Susan is an older woman with swept-back silver hair, glasses, and a dramatic purple outfit with a high collar. She gestures confidently while declaring, “People said I’d never weaponize my childhood trauma. Look at me now.” Behind her, a whiteboard displays ridiculous motivational slogans, including: “Failure isn’t falling into a volcano. Failure is falling into the same volcano twice,” “A hero is just a villain with better P.R.,” and “Susan Says… Your greatest weakness can become your greatest strength… unless your weakness is silver, garlic, or emotional intimacy.”

Panel 3: Back in Cassie’s office, Dr. Muskiday leans forward urgently, shouting, “You don’t understand! The micronanos are evolving into MACRONANOES!” The word “MACRONANOES!” appears in huge bold lettering dominating the panel. Cassie remains seated behind her desk, still not fully grasping the severity of the situation.

Panel 4: Dr. Muskiday runs frantically across the office floor with his arms spread wide. He warns, “They’ll take control of everybody in the office! We have to get everyone outta here before…” His lab coat and green tie trail behind him dramatically as he rushes toward the reader.

Panel 5: Dr. Muskiday stops in horror and quietly finishes, “…it’s too late.” Across the desk, Cassie’s entire head has been engulfed by a giant pink, fluffy-looking emoji cloud with angry eyes and a furious expression. The cloud hovers where her head should be, implying the evolving nanotech has already taken over her emotions.

2015 Comic Convention Schedule

Posted on March 23, 2015 by Brad Guigar
emerald_city_logoWith Emerald City Comicon just around the corner (March 27-29 in Seattle), I figured now would be a good time to post my list of scheduled comic convention appearances for this year. Here’s all the deets on that show.

Wizard World Philadelphia

May 7-10. I’ll be in the main exhibitor area of Wizard World Philadelphia, with all my usual fun stuff — Evil Inc graphic novels, original art, commission list, etc. But the thing I’m really looking forward to is the panel discussion we’ve got planned in which my two sons and I will talk about podcasting with your kids. We do a podcast called Hey Comics, Kids! during our morning drive to school, and we’ll show you how you can, too — and more importantly — why.

Wizard World Chicago

Aug. 20-23. I’m so excited to be adding three more Wizard-run shows to my convention calendar this year, and the first up is Chicago. I’ve done Wizard World Chicago before, and it has always been amazing. I’ll be in Artists’ Alley for this one, and I’ll post a map of the show floor as soon as I’m able.

Wizard World Columbus

Sept. 18-20. This will be my first time at Wizard World Columbus (Ohio), and I’m really looking forward to it because I’ll be in Artists’ Alley exhibiting next to Alex Heberling, whose coloring of Evil Inc has been outstanding since she began in January.

Wizard World Ft. Lauderdale

Oct. 2-4. I’ll also be doing my first Florida convention this year with Wizard World Ft. Lauderdale. I’ll be in Artists’ Alley with all my books and art.

And then…?

I’ve exhibited at Baltimore Comic Con for many years in the past — and I love their show — but as of right now, I don’t have anything scheduled with them. If you like the kind of news, info and tutorials I post at Webcomics.com — and if you live near Philadelphia — you may be interested in the 3-day workshops I’m doing in conjunction with Hussian School of Art. I’ll be doing one on Arts Entrepreneurship and another on Creating Comics. If you’re interested in both, you can get a significant discount for signing up for both. ARTS ENTREPRENEURSHIP, APRIL 7-9, 6-9 p.m. If you’d like to learn more about running a business as a creative professional, I’m offering a 3-evening workshop in Philadelphia next month. This class will be offered through Hussian School of Art — in Philadelphia’s  historic Bourse Building at 5th and Market streets — April 7-9, 6-9 p.m. The Arts Entrepreneurship class will be a three-day crash course on running a business as a creative professional. Based on the same class I teach at Hussian, this will be a condensed guide to everything from sales tax to promotion. We’ll talk Web commerce, advertising, merchandising and more. Click here to register. There are a limited number of spaces available! Use coupon code “BradGuigar” to get a free copy of the “Webcomics Handbook” when you show up for class! (And remember… you can give a huge discount for signing up for both seminars.) SEQUENTIAL ART / COMICS, MAY 5-7, 6-9 p.m. In the Comics class, we’ll be covering comics from the basics to the fine-tuning, with plenty of hands-on exercises. If you always want to learn to do comics, this will be a great place to start. And if you’re already doing comics, I know we work together to take your craft to the next level. This class will be offered through Hussian School of Art — in Philadelphia’s  historic Bourse Building at 5th and Market streets — May 5-7, 6-9 p.m. Click here to register.
