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.
With a little over a week left to go in the Kickstarter campaign for the eighth Evil Inc graphic novel, I want to do everything I can to encourage people to pledge and promote! So I came up with a reward that I think you’re going to really love.
It’s the entire four-and-a-half-year run of my first webcomic, Greystone Inn. This 416-page behemoth has
never been offered before in digital format, and if we reach $15K,
all of my backers at or above the $10 level will get the whole thing in a tablet-friendly PDF file (DRM-free, of course).
And there’s more…
At the $15K mark, all of my backers who are eligible to receive a physical reward will get something extra in their shipment — a signed copy of Tales from the Con #1. This is a collection of comic-convention-related comics that I wrote and Chris Giarrusso illustrated for the Emerald City Comicon Web site.
Here are some samples from that comic book.
I’m really excited about offering
The Complete Greystone Inn PDF as a reward for my backers. It has a ton of extras — like some of my cartoons from when I was in high school and college. It has some of my early editorial cartooning. And it has three complete syndicate submission packages that I attempted before turning full-time to webcomics.
Here’s a little sample PDF of what you can expect from The Complete Greystone Inn.
To be completely honest — I think the stuff holds up remarkably well. I’m far enough removed from it that I can read it without remembering the punchlines, and some of that stuff had me laughing out loud.
(Now, of course, I’m an easy laugh, but still…)
So that’s my goal. If you haven’t decided to make a pledge, maybe this will entice you. If you’ve pledged already, maybe this encourages you to increase your amount. And it’s definitely something that I’m hoping you’ll share on your various social-media outlets!
Of course, if we surpass $11K, both of the original Stretch Goal rewards are still in play…
