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??


I’m resurrecting this thread from August because I just now figured out how to make those little icons appear for those of you using Internet Explorer! The plea remains the same: I get tons of traffic when people “Stumble” the strip, so please don’t hesitate to do so if one of the gags or scenes strikes your fancy.
I just took a look at my site traffic stats, and I’m seeing a tremendous amount of traffic from StumbleUpon.com.
This is a site through which you can flag interesting sites for your friends or whomever else browses your StumbleUpon page.
First off, THANKS!
Secondly, it made me realize that, perhaps, I should point out the StumbleUpon icon beneath each daily strip that will help you Stumble your favorite Evil Inc strip for your friends. That way everyone knows they can Stumble Evil Inc
As you can see by the illustration above, it’s the first icon after “Share this ‘toon.”
So, what are you waiting for? Get Stumblin’!
