Episode 18: We’re joined this week by Emerald City Comicon (ECCC) founder Jim Demonakos and ReedPOP Global VP Lance Fensterman. With the announcement that ECCC would be joining the ReedPOP family question abound and we’re here to get some answers! Who is ReedPOP? What do they want with ECCC’s Minions? WILL THE PRICE OF SOFT PRETZELS GO UP AT THE FOOD COURT?! It’s hard-hitting investigative podcasting on Surviving Creativity.
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.
