Chapter 17, Page 18a: Emotion Cloud Chaos

Doctor Muskiday’s latest crisis runs screaming through the lab — but the real problem is waiting quietly in a cage.

Project SMILE's emotion cloud chaos continues to spiral out of control as Holo-Clone Miss Match discovers that Doctor Muskiday’s “bad news” isn’t a situation… it’s a somebody.

Evil Inc After Dark

Meanwhile, over in Evil Inc After Dark, we checked in on an intimate moment between Lightning Lady and her favorite minotaur before shifting back to EiAD #79 — in which Mixtape is thrust into the midst of a plot schemed up by a trio of Miss Match haters!

Coming up next, we’ll swing back around to Lightning Lady and Angus…

Four-panel “Evil Inc” comic set inside Doctor Muskiday’s underground laboratory. In the large top panel, Doctor Muskiday runs frantically through the lab shouting “Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! No! No! No!” Holo-Clone Miss Match, wearing a tight white blouse and maroon pants, stands in the center asking, “Musky, darling, what’s wrong??” In the second panel, an unseen speaker says, “Him? Oh, he got some bad news.” In the third panel, Holo-Clone Miss Match approaches a small animal cage and asks, “Really? What’s the bad news?” In the final panel, a lab rat sits inside the cage with a large glowing pink emotion cloud completely covering its head and replies, “I am.”

More Artist Editions to share

I shared a few Artist Edition photos and the Artist-Edition-reward pledges for my Kickstarter campaign for the next Evil Inc graphic novel skyrocketed for the day. And Momma Guigar didn’t raise no fool. So, here’s the deal… An Artist Edition book is part of a special numbered, limited run of books in which I draw a special illustration inside the book (usually in the inside front cover) just for you. Each Artist Edition book is signed and numbered. There will be only 250 AE books produced for each Evil Inc title. Below are a couple recent Artist Edition sketches that I’ve sent out. If you buy them from the Evil Inc store, you can even suggest an illustration! For the Kickstarter, I can’t make any promises. (But, heck, if you’re reading this, you’re a “regular” so if you drop me a friendly note, I’m sure we can work something out!)   ArtistEdition_20140527a ArtistEdition_20140527 EIv8_cover-KS_bug
