Chapter 17, Page 22b: Artificial Love

Posted on July 23, 2026 by Brad Guigar

The macronanoes feed on genuine emotion — which makes HoloClone Miss Match a particularly dangerous target.

Dr. Muskiday programmed her devotion himself. She may express love with overwhelming intensity, but there is no emotional uncertainty underneath it for the macronanoes to consume. His artificial love algorithm has created the perfect trap.

Unfortunately, that realization leaves Muskiday with something much harder to digest.

Evil Inc Erotica: The Doctor Is In

Last week’s Evil Inc Erotica release took us inside a fertility clinic where the bedside manner was professional, the treatment was unconventional, and the doctor had considerably more hands-on experience than anyone expected.

The new illustration introduced Dr. Deepwell, his nervous patient Natalie, and her increasingly concerned boyfriend, Todd. Then, the accompanying prose story explored the entire examination in all its medically dubious, tentacle-intensive detail.

It’s a monster-romance scenario with a clinical setting, a worried boyfriend, and a doctor who is extremely confident in his treatment plan.

Look for both the illustration and the complete prose story on Patreon.

I was just browsing my Patreon Activity feed, and it struck me how much I’ve uploaded there since the beginning of the year. If you are considering supporting my Patreon campaign, please have a look at everything that’s waiting for you — much of which is accessible for as little as $1 a month! (I’ve obscured some of the punchlines and comments.) What’s cool about Patreon is that you have the ability to get notifications every time I upload something new. So you don’t have to worry about following Evil-Inc.com and Guigar.com and Arch-Bros.com, etc. You get first look at all comics for Guigar.com and Arch Bros long before they post on their respective Web sites. And, if you’re a $5/month supporter, you get the Evil Inc comic with the upcoming months’ comics (plus a bonus in every issue)! If not to support one of your favorite independent cartoonists, consider this a small investment in your own time management! Patreon_sample
