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!
For those of you asked about the next Evil Inc graphic novel, here’s your chance to help make it happen.
I’ve launched a Kickstarter campaign to
fund the printing of the next Evil Inc graphic novel!
If you haven’t seen an Evil Inc graphic novel, let me explain. Instead of doing the usual collection of comic strips, the Evil Inc graphic novels use the individual panels from those strips to layout comic-book-style pages. Throw in some never-before-seen panels and other content, and you have an entirely new reading experience!
And rewards? I think you’ll find a lot in there to like.
Of course, you can get the book and a DRM-free PDF to read on your digital tablet. But you could also get fantastic multiple-book packages, Artist Editions, original art and much more!
There’s a complete breakdown below. When you’ve finished looking it over,
go over to the site and select your reward level.
And then — by all means — help me spread the word! Tweet, post on Facebook, reblog on Tumblr… it all helps in a massive way!
Thanks for your support, and now let’s get to work!
