HoloClone Miss Match races to Dr. Muskiday’s rescue with the one weapon the macronanoes never saw coming: an outrageously dramatic declaration of love. The macronanoes quickly discover a much more tempting emotional smorgasbord.
New eComic: The Best of Cassie Cruz
A new Tales from the Evil Inc After Dark Archive eComic is now available: The Best of Cassie Cruz.
This 27-page collection gathers some of the best appearances of Cassie Cruz, one of my favorite characters to write and draw. Patreon backers have already received a free copy as part of their membership.
If you’d like a copy, you can get yours here: https://go.evil-inc.net/Best-of-Cassie
Cassie brings exactly the kind of energy Evil Inc After Dark was built for: confident, chaotic, dangerous, and more than a little likely to make a bad decision feel like a very good idea.

Six-panel Evil Inc comic. Panel 1: Exterior of the Evil Inc Fairmount offices. Inside, Dr. Muskiday is completely covered and controlled by a cloud of macronanoes. From off-panel, HoloClone Miss Match cries, “My sweet baboo! What have they DONE to you?!” Panel 2: HoloClone Miss Match runs into the lab with her hands dramatically pressed to her face. She says, “I never had a chance to tell you my true feelings — to express what has been buried deep inside me!” Panel 3: Close-up of HoloClone Miss Match giving a slight eye roll and shrugging as she adds, “You know… without the massage oils and putting the lab in ‘privacy mode.’” Panel 4: She drops to one knee and reaches toward the cloud-covered doctor, declaring, “I love you, Doctor Phineas Muskiday! I always have!” Panel 5: The macronanoes begin breaking apart and drifting away from Dr. Muskiday’s head. One exclaims, “Hey! What’s THIS?!” Another says, “We’re wasting time with these sad, little scraps…” HoloClone Miss Match watches nervously from the floor. Panel 6: The grinning macronanoes surround HoloClone Miss Match as one finishes, “…when there’s a smorgasbord standing right here!” She ducks and shields her head while the creatures close in.
My
Patreon supporters have seen my new comic strip.
Well… kinda.
See, I’ve had this idea for a new comic strip — a spin-off of Evil Inc in a weird way — that I’ve been batting around for a while. But before Patreon, I’ve never had much incentive to develop it.
However, since I’m doing bonus cartoons (my goal is to hit 3 a week), I can justify the time that I put into working on that much more easily!
Although I haven’t decided on a title yet, the concept involves taking the characters of Oscar and Oliver out of Evil Inc and putting them in a traditional family strip. The “real” Oscar and Oliver might stay with Evil Inc… these would be different kids — one a superhero and the other a supervillain — being raised by “civilian” parents. In fact, the two boys would be the only “supers” in the comic.
If you
follow me on Twitter, you know that some of the funniest stuff I post there comes from my two sons, ages
12 and
8. And, truthfully, they already supply the inspiration for Oscar and Oliver. But I get an impression from my readers that they find the Oscar-and-Oliver storylines to be an interruption in what they expect from Evil Inc. And, honestly, I’d like to see what happens when these two take center stage completely.
So… I’m working on it. And my Patreon supporters — for as little as one dollar a month — are getting a front-row seat. I’m posting my thought process, pages from my sketchbook (something I’ve rarely —
if ever — done), and finished strips. I posted the first completed strip last week, and I have another prepped for next week.
How long will it go on? I don’t know. I’m keeping it open, and I’m not making promises. This might be a regular part of the bonus cartoons I’m planning to stock my Patreon feed with. Or it might be something I work on in spurts. It might become a webcomic someday, or it might become a Patreon-exclusive. I’m going to see where it takes me.
Anyway, last week I revealed all of the bonus cartoons my Patreon backers saw. This week, I’m showing
thumbnails to
two of them (including the one above and the one to the right) and
revealing one (scroll down).
If you’ve been thinking about
backing me on Patreon, this is the perfect time. That freaking
Creations feed is bursting with extra content and conversations! And the more you give, the more you get — $5 gets you all of this plus a free monthly eComic in which you can read all of the upcoming month’s Evil Inc strips in one file PLUS bonus material from the archive! And
all backers get access to the Creations feed that features the bonus strips.
This comic is another reason I’m really loving Patreon. I originally pitched the idea above to Tales From the Con, a weekly comic I write for the
Emerald City Comicon Web site. It wasn’t the right fit for them, but I still liked the idea. Before starting Patreon, I really didn’t have a reason (or an outlet) for an idea like this. In the end, I think it’s a very good cartoon.
