Today’s page takes us back to Ralph’s Diner, where Captain Heroic proves—once again—that nothing rattles him… not even a surprise soup bath.
Hailey is mortified, Captain Heroic is dripping, and somewhere across the diner, Yazmine Velour is livestreaming the whole thing as heart emojis rain from the internet. It’s a small moment, but one that says a lot about who Cap really is—and why people can’t help falling for him.
Transcript
Panel 1
Hailey (distraught that she has dumped hot soup on Captain Heroic): Omigod Omigod Omigod…
Captain Heroic (turning to another person eating at the diner): Excuse me. Would you hand me a napkin, please? (The person hands him a napkin)
Panel 2
Hailey: I’m so sorry Captain Heroic, sir. I didn’t mean to — {sob}
Panel 3
Captain Heroic (handing her the napkin): Here. Please don’t cry.
Panel 4
Captain Heroic (continues): Most of my first impressions involve disintegration rays. And actual impressions. In concrete.
Panel 5
Captain Heroic: This was far more pleasant — not counting the bay leaf in my shirt.Yazmine Velour (as she livestreams the interaction from the other side of the diner, a torrent of heart emojis flow from her phone as the audience reacts): Omigod Omigod Omigod
After Dark
This week's commissioned MicroFic delivers exactly what you’d want from a pairing between Dynasty and Father Christmas.
-
Yes, he lives up to his name.
-
Yes, Dynasty knew exactly what she was doing.
-
No, the North Pole will never be the same.
I also posted the Goblin Girl MicroFic from the Monster Girl poll — and the response was so good, I might need to make these poll-powered MicroFics a recurring thing!
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.
