I’m Just DrinkingPhil Kahn, writer of webcomics criticism blog I’m Just Saying and editor of webcomics collective Biscuit Press has been working on a top secret webcomics project for a little while now called “I’m Just Drinking.” It’s a pretty oddball concept. It’s what you get when a momma wiki and a daddy bartending guide have a child raised by webcomics. A wiki database of webcomics themed drinks, shooter and cocktails galore.
Phil’s a good guy and this is a really neat idea. If I understand correctly, there will be a book in the works.
Check it out, there’s drinks for Courting Disaster and Greystone Inn.
But, alas, there’s nothing for Evil Inc. Someone’s gonna have to fix that! If you have a good drink recipe that fits the strip, don’t hesitate to submit it!
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

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!
