Chapter 17, Page 22b: Artificial Love

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.

Black Tribbles podcast

285>_10021431Last night, I had the amazing experience of being a guest on the Black Tribbles podcast. If you’re familiar with the Philadelphia Geek Awards (and you should be) then you know these folks as the winners of the Streaming Project of the Year Award. I met Len “Bat Tribble” Webb a while back when he interviewed me on the floor of Wizard World Philadelphia. Last night, I was invited out to the G-town Radio studio, where Black Tribbles is recorded Thursday nights at 9 p.m., and got to spend two hours talking comics with three of the finest geeks in Philly — Len, Randy Green and Erik Mack. We opened with a slate of superhero-movie news — DC’s announcement of movies through 2020 — and dissected both Gotham and Agents of SHIELD on TV. And, of course, we talked a bunch about me… including Evil Inc, the new Hey Comics — Kids! podcast I’m doing with my boys, and the Top 5 Halloween costumes I’d like to see my wife in. Although you can catch their show live every Thursday night at nine (eastern), they release every episode (including this one) as a podcast.
