Chapter 17, Page 22a: Emotional Smorgasbord

Posted on July 21, 2026 by Brad Guigar

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.

Custom LEGO minifig kit

Custom LEGO minifig kit
This is our custom LEGO minifig kit. It includes a clear gloss primer (to help the paint adhere to the plastic figures), acrylic paint, a paint well, small brushes, and several minifig parts I found on eBay. I also included a soldering stand to help with the detail work.
So, my younger son turns eight this week. He’s been after me for a while to help him make custom LEGO minifigures for the characters that are unavailable from LEGO (or hard to find). This is what I came up with. I found out that I could buy a bunch of random LEGO minifig parts on eBay for a really good price. So bought a bunch of heads, torsos, hands, arms and legs. Then, I picked up some acrylic paint, a paint well and some small brushes. I’m using a clear paint primer to try to get the acrylic to stick to the plastic (and then protect it when it’s dry). I organized them in a crafter’s box with adjustable compartments. Finally, since I have no illusions as to who’s going to be working alongside him during this, I picked up a soldering stand. It’s a weighted stand with a magnifying glass, a small LED light, and two adjutable alligator clips. I figure this will make it easier to hold the small parts steady while we paint those teeny tiny details. I don’t think we’re going to give Evil Inc arch-henchman David Oakes a run for his money anytime soon, but I’m really looking forward to the time I get to spend with my kid letting out imaginations run wild. I’ll be sure to post some of the results here as soon as we get our first attempts done.
