Chapter 17 | Page 3b: Hot Stuff

Posted on December 19, 2025 by Brad Guigar

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

Panel 1
Hailey (distraught that she has dumped hot soup on Captain Heroic): Omigod Omigod Omigod…

Captain Heroic (turning to another person eating at the diner): Excuse me. Would you hand me a napkin, please? (The person hands him a napkin)

Panel 2

Hailey: I’m so sorry Captain Heroic, sir. I didn’t mean to — {sob}

Panel 3

Captain Heroic (handing her the napkin): Here. Please don’t cry.

Panel 4

Captain Heroic (continues): Most of my first impressions involve disintegration rays. And actual impressions. In concrete.

Panel 5

Captain Heroic: This was far more pleasant — not counting the bay leaf in my shirt.Yazmine Velour (as she livestreams the interaction from the other side of the diner, a torrent of heart emojis flow from her phone as the audience reacts): Omigod Omigod Omigod

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!

SPICE RACK COMICS LAUNCHES TO BOOST NSFW COMICS CREATORS THROUGH COLLABORATION AND CROSS-PROMOTION

[December 2, 2024] – In a groundbreaking effort to support NSFW comics creators navigating the challenges of adult content publishing, veteran cartoonist Brad Guigar has announced the launch of Spice Rack Comics—a banner exchange webring designed to foster cross-promotion among some of the top talents in the genre.

Spice Rack Comics unites creators specializing in adult comics under a shared mission: to amplify one another’s work and overcome the unique barriers of censorship, content moderation, and discoverability plaguing NSFW content.

Participating titles include:

A Collective Solution to Industry Challenges

In addition to traditional banner exchanges, Spice Rack Comics creators will leverage social media, public appearances, and other opportunities to promote the group. This unique combination of digital and real-world promotion aims to help creators thrive in a field that often marginalizes adult content.

“Publishing NSFW comics is an uphill battle,” says Brad Guigar, founder of Spice Rack Comics and creator of Evil Inc After Dark. “Platforms crackdown on adult content, advertisers are squeamish, and creators face roadblocks that others in comics simply don’t. Spice Rack Comics is here to change that by working together to lift each other up.”

A Showcase of Talent

The alliance brings together a wide variety of styles and storytelling approaches, from the fantasy-laden escapades of The Cummoner to the spy-thriller antics of Spying with Lana, to the queer-focused erotica of Filthy Figments. Together, these creators represent some of the most dynamic voices in adult comics.

“With this network, we’re creating a space where adult comics aren’t just tolerated—they’re celebrated,” says Guigar. “We want to help readers discover the breadth of incredible work in this genre.”

Collaboration from the Very Start

The spirit of collaboration that defines Spice Rack Comics was evident in the collective effort it took to bring this initiative to life. Tom Roberts spearheaded the construction of the Spice Rack Comics website, while Garth Graham designed the logo and contributed significantly to the site’s visual identity. Nero Villagallos O’Reilly provided additional website enhancements. Jaycee Knight coordinated the project, keeping the team organized and on schedule, and Matt Sowers developed a custom dashboard and the backend code that powers the webring’s functionality. Together, their contributions reflect the shared commitment to building a platform that supports the success of NSFW comics creators.
