If you’re hoping to get signed Evil Inc books and other evil mementos, San Diego is going to be the place to be next week. I’ll be bringing all three Evil Inc Annual Report volumes, copies of the How To Make Webcomics book, and a few copies of the two Courting Disaster volumes.
Also, I’m going to have a selection of original art on hand for sale. If you’re going to be at the convention — and if you’d like to have a particular strip available for purchase — please get in touch using the e-mail link at the top of the page. I’ll have an original Phables comic for sale, too.
Finally… BUTTONS! I’ll have buttons for a buck at the booth. Choose from three styles: The Evil Inc logo, the VILF design, and a Lightning Lady illustration. You can see the designs above. The Lightning Lady button is the first in a series of Evil Inc character buttons, so get yours now!
If you’re going to the convention — and if you want something that’s not listed above — please get in touch so I can have it on hand for you!
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

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)

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!
