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}

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!

Because of the massively successful Kickstarter campaign for the upcoming Webcomics Handbook, (not to mention a downright harrowing Web host / Content Management System switch last month) I fell way behind my production schedule for the July comics. That left Ed Ryzowski, the skillful colorist of Evil Inc, little (or no) time to work his tremendous craft. So the last two weeks of the July pre-release are in black-and-white. For now. As soon as the colored versions are ready, I’ll release an update for you to download and replace the early edition you bought.
The July Evil Inc comic is 39 pages, and it concludes a time-travel adventure with Oscar and Oliver. Also, it’s the return of the Real Housewives of Transylvania for a special two-week storyline.
Then, in Tale from the Evil Inc Archive, re-live the entire Ruby of Ragnoor storyline. Lightning Lady and the newly-villainized Elastic man team up to steal the Ruby of Ragnoor — a jewel with rumored mystic properties. But what happens when it falls into the hands of Miss Match, who uses it to try to simplify her hero/villain secret marriage with Captain Heroic? Simple. Captain Heroic forgets he’s married, starts fooling around with the aptly-named Amazing Amazon, and arrests Miss Match. It’s a classic Evil Inc storyline with surpise twists and dangerous curves!
