Transcript
Panel 1
The Evil Inc supervillains gather in Giant Tess' office.
Giant Tess: "We must prove to Dr. Whoosh that this branch is too important to close."
Lightning Lady: "Let's pair off and see who can come up with the best scheme."
Iron Dragon: "Yeah! We'll meet here in an hour to determine the best one."
Count Spurlock: "It's exhilarating to see this branch come together to fight a common foe!"
Miss Match: "I'll see if Muskiday has anything in his lab."
Panel 2
The scene shifts to show Iron Dragon sidling up to Desdemonda, circling his arms around her waist. Desi eyes him suspiciously.
Iron Dragon: "You heard what Spurlock said: we need to come together. After that, we can work on a scheme to save the office."
Panel 3
Desi, reaching for Catnip: "No thanks. I'm working with Catnip!"
Catnip (surprised): "Huh?!"
Panel 4
Iron Dragon stands between two women, looking nervous. Desi is glaring at him.
Desdemona: "Why don't you team up with your new friend? After that, you can work on a scheme to save our relationship."
Here’s a special Phables* comic I did back in 2006, that I love to share every Halloween.
It’s the (mostly) true story about a botanist who taught at Transylvania University in Kentucky (the place really exists). When he was caught with the college president’s wife, he was ousted from campus. Upon leaving, he placed a curse on the institution, and, supposedly, every seven years, something tragic happens at Transylvania University. The last “Curse Year”, by the way, was 2018, so we’re due in just two more years.
Phables was a series I did for The Philadelphia Daily News that shared stories about life in Philadelphia. It was nominated for the Eisner Award in 2007. Here’s what it looked like as a full page.
