After several hours of applied mad sciences, Dr. Muskiday finally has a plan.
The macronanos have been feeding on Fairmount City’s emotions, growing stronger with every burst of anger, embarrassment, infatuation, and fear. Muskiday’s new device is designed to reverse the process — converting a macronano back into harmless micronanos while safely discharging all that stolen emotional energy.
There’s just one problem.
To test the thing, they need a macronano.
Fortunately, HoloClone Miss Match knows exactly how to bait the hook. A little romance. A little melodrama. And perhaps just a touch more enthusiasm than Dr. Muskiday was expecting.
Science demands sacrifice. Apparently, dignity is first on the list.
One Hot August
On Friday, I posted a wrap-up of all of the August exclusives — complete with previews of all the spicy selections. You can download all of them without becoming a Patreon backer here.
Transcript
Panel 1
Dr. Muskiday finishes tinkering on his device in front of a whiteboard that shows how the device works.
Macronano —> containment unit —> compression field emitter —> emotion output emitter
Muskiday: OK… I think we’re ready to test it out. Can you attract one of the macronanos?
Panel 2
HoloClone Miss Match: Musky, darling, this may be our last chance to consummate our love before the macronanos take over!
Panel 3
A macronano reacts as Holoclone Miss Match (continues off-panel): Take me, my love. I’m yours, body and soul!
Panel 4
The macronano enters the lab, and HoloClone Miss Match slams the door behind it.
HoloClone Miss Match: Ha-HA! You sure are gullible! I can’t believe you fell for that. GET ’IM MUSKY!
Panel 5
Dr. Muskiday is in the act of taking off his pants: …Huh??
Here are a few photos from my weekend at New York Comic Con. I did quite a few interviews, including this one with the Village Voice, and the Secret Identity podcast. As a matter of fact, if you head over the Secret Identity, you’ll see a wrap-up of the panel that I did (along with Chris Eliopoulos and Danielle Corsetto, among others).
Check out my photostream of the entire weekend.
Special thanks to arch-henchman Mike Ciccotello, whose webcomic, “Schoolhouse Daze,” relaunches April 1 (no foolin’). He shot photos all weekend — otherwise, I would have never been able to record a single shot. All of the photos were shot by him — including the ones from his trip to the Port Authority to pick up replacement books.
Recording a radio interview. Hopefully, they’ll send an mp3 or a link. It was a great conversation.
Matt Herring, from Secret Identity podcast, talks to me in the waning moments of the convention. We’ll have a link to that podcast shortly.
