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.

All this week, I’m going to spotlight some standout Halloween comics from Evil Inc. And I can’t think of a better way to start off than with Evil Inc’s Director of the Mystics and Occult Department, Dr. Vincent Leonard. Dr. Leonard is a pretty open homage to the great Vincent Price (Vincent Leonard Price), who was famous for several great horror movie turns (like
The Fly and all of those wonderful Roger Corman flicks) — and, of course, for providing the epic rap at the end of Michael Jackson’s
Thriller.
From his Personnel File: Dr. Vincent Leonard is the director of the Mystics & Occult Department, reporting directly to Dr. Whoosh. He is working on magically changing his last name, but he knows that this, like all magic, comes with a Price.
First appearance
Here’s the first storyline that Dr. Leonard appeared in
Messiah Complex
Dr. Leonard
also played a key role in the Messiah Complex storyline — in which, the Memo believes that it is the Second Coming.
That storyline starts here.
Ruby of Ragnoor
Dr. Leonard
was also pivotal in the Ruby of Ragnoor saga… That storyline started
way back here.
All week I will be highlighting a Halloween comic storyline from years past.
I’ll also take just a moment to tell you about my special Halloween comic that collects the best Halloween-themed stories from 13 —
