Chapter 17 | Page 3b: Hot Stuff

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!

Patreon Report: November

patreon_promo_dec This morning, I posted the first reward for my Patreon backers — a set of digital wallpapers for desktops and mobile devices. In October, I was happy to announce that I had post more than one Patreon exclusive for every weekday in the month, and I mentioned that my goal was to keep up that pace — if not top it — in November. So I’m super-proud to share with you my Patreon-by-the-numbers for November. Last month, I uploaded 29 posts for my Patreon backers. Forget weekdays… that’s practically one post for every day of the month! 6 Evil Inc previews 5 Pin-ups 4 NSFW illustrations 4 NSFW sketches 3 full-page Evil Inc After Dark episodes (NSFW) 1 chance to get Evil Inc original art 2 Bonus cartoons 1 Desktop/mobile wallpaper 1 Uncensored Courting Disaster (NSFW) 1 Discount code for the 2016 Evil Inc pin-up calendar ($9.99, down from $19.99) 1 Arch Bros preview If you’re thinking about joining our group to get access to all of that great stuff, it’s a great time to join right now! Evil Inc After Dark has turned into an amazing thing — full-page stories, many of which link together into a larger narrative… and no limits. If you liked Courting Disaster, you’re going to love seeing what I can do when the gloves come off. (And the gloves are just for starters…) If you miss the comment section on the main site, this is also a chance to have discussion with other Evil Inc fans. The chat function in Patreon updates immediately, so if I’m around (and I usually am), we can even talk in real time. In short, Patreon is where it’s all happening. You’re missing out on a ton of great stuff if you’re not there.
