They say all you need is love… but nobody ever said it had to be part of a company-wide initiative approved by Dr. Muskiday.
After yesterday’s emotional-cloud chaos, Dr. Muskiday has a solution — and let’s just say it’s less “scientific breakthrough” and more “HR nightmare waiting to happen.”
According to Muskiday, the only way to overpower the micronanos is to flood them with a stronger emotion than anger.
And that emotion is…
LOVE.
Dr. Muskiday is doing his absolute best to frame this as a team-building exercise.
With benefits.
Iron Dragon is on board — and he came prepared. (And he's prepared to come.)
But will the gang go along with it?

I thought these clouds were gonna dissipate!

Doctor Muskiday thinks he has a solution…
You’re not gonna like it.

We gotta flood the micronanos with emotions.
Giant Tess (angry):
No problem. I’m plenty mad already!

There’s one emotion more powerful than anger: LOVE.
Dr. Muskiday:
Before you say anything… just think of this as a team-building exercise.

Exactly! It’s like a “trust fall.”
But horizontal.
Detailed Alt Text
A wide, single-panel comic labeled “The next morning…” shows a group of supervillains gathered in an office area at Evil Inc. Several characters have floating pink “emotion clouds” above their heads—visual representations of their feelings caused by Dr. Muskiday’s Project SMILE.
On the far left, Lightning Lady (a blonde woman in a blue-and-yellow costume) gestures in frustration, saying she expected the clouds to dissipate. Next to her, a curvy woman in a tight black catsuit — Catnip — leans forward, explaining that Dr. Muskiday has a solution that won’t be popular.
Cassie Cruz (a confident woman in a business outfit) stands near the center, explaining that they need to “flood the micronanos with emotions.” Around him, multiple characters display different emotional clouds—confusion (question marks), anger (red symbols), and even a skull icon—hovering above their heads.
Giant Tess, the superhuman resources manager, responds angrily that she’s already full of rage. Dr. Muskiday’s holographic assistant counters by declaring that love is a more powerful emotion, with the word “LOVE” appearing large and bold in the panel.
Iron Dragon tries to convince the group that this should be viewed as a “team-building exercise… with benefits.” In his arms is a box containing lube, lace and assorted sex toys.
So what’s started out as a lark has kinda become a Thing. I haven’t updated my Patreon video yet, but I wanted you guys to know about it first. See, I started doing these Patreon bonus cartoons as a way to help direct attention to my Patreon page…
In case this is new to you, Patreon is a way you can help support my comics by donating as little as $1 per month.
The first one was straight out of my sketchbook. It was an idea that jumped into my head and demanded to be set free. It wasn’t going to fit into Evil Inc, and I didn’t think it was appropriate for Tales From The Con. So decided to scan it and make it a public post in my Patreon feed. This is the result…
That went over really well, so I did a few more. And they all got a big response. So I decided this would be the perfect way to reward the people who support me on Patreon! As of last week, those bonus cartoons have become Patreon-exclusive. That means that only my Patreon supporters can see the finished cartoons.
And, again, many of them are supporting me with $1 per month. Of course, when a whole bunch of you pledge $1, the cumulative result is pretty significant for me. Plus, I have some pretty tempting rewards to entice you to support me at $5, $10, $20 or even $50 per month!
To give you a glimpse of what you’ll get as a Patreon supporter, I’m posting all of the bonus cartoons below — even the ones that were exclusives last week. I’m pretty sure my Patreon backers won’t mind — especially if it brings a few more of you into the group.
And, heck, there’s even a chat function under each entry, so you can comment, expound, eye-roll, shriek… whatever feels right, y’know?
Consider backing me on Patreon. My goal is to do at least three of these bonus cartoons a week. Let me know what you think.
