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)

Hailey: I’m so sorry Captain Heroic, sir. I didn’t mean to — {sob}

Captain Heroic (handing her the napkin): Here. Please don’t cry.

Captain Heroic (continues): Most of my first impressions involve disintegration rays. And actual impressions. In concrete.
Panel 5

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!
Today marks a brand new era for Evil Inc — one that I frankly never thought would happen. Starting today, we plan on bringing you Your Favorite Comic in living (or should that be loathing?) color.
This started with a
Webcomics Weekly discussion on applying color to a daily webcomic. We all agreed that it would be terrific to have, but none of us could devote the time.
Shortly thereafter, I heard from a man who offered to color the strip. We discussed it — a lot — and worked out an agreement.
And the results — as you can see — are stupendous.
Without further ado, let me introduce you to the reason for this incredible change,
Ed Ryzowski. Ed does a terrific webcomic called
Geek Tragedy, and has been doing a phenomenal job with Evil Inc. These strips simply sparkle.
I can’t wait for you guys to see the next few weeks and enjoy Ed’s versatility and skill. I’ve had a sneak peek of what he’s able to do with these strips and it’s truly amazing. Please check out his comic and let him know how much you’re loving his work.
