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!

NSFW comic: Fifty Shades of Green, Page 3 (Evil Inc After Dark)

I just posted another Patreon-exclusive page of NSFW superhero hijinx. This is the third page to the “Fifty Shades of Green” storyline in which Lightning Lady shares one of her fantasies with Elastic Man, who uses his shape-shifting abilities to make it come to life. EI_After_Dark_008c-crop   I’ve got a NSFW comic commission on tap for tomorrow — a continuation of the Halloween-themed series that launched last week. And next week, another full-page installment of the saga of Captain Scarr, the sultry space pirate.

So, the question is… are you a Patreon backer yet? Try it out. You can cancel at any time. And if you pledge today, you’ll get access to all of the stuff I mentioned above — plus all of the exclusive content I published since starting this campaign last year!
