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.

Two 3-night workshops in Philly

Posted on March 3, 2015 by Brad Guigar
I’m offering two 3-night workshops this spring — one in comics and one in arts entrepreneurship.
  • Comics – March 10-12, 6-9 p.m.
  • Entrepreneurship – April 7-9, 6-9 p.m.
These will be offered through Hussian School of Art — in Philadelphia’s  historic Bourse Building at 5th and Market streets. 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. 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 take 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!
