Evil Inc – February 25, 2025

Panel 1
(Exterior of an office building, music notes are floating out of a window.)
Caption: The following day...

Panel 2
(Inside the office, Miss Match looks distressed, covering her ears. Lightning Lady is also covering her ears. Through a glass window, Jeremy is seen playing a clarinet for Cassie Cruz, who sits at her desk.)
Miss Match: What’s that horrible noise?!

Panel 3
(Miss Match and Lightning Lady continue covering their ears in agony.)
Miss Match: Jeremy has been playing for Cassie for hours!

Panel 4
(Close-up of Miss Match and Lightning Lady, both wincing from the sound.)
Miss Match: This is terrible!
Lightning Lady: Tell me about it...

Panel 5
(Inside Cassie’s office, Jeremy enthusiastically plays the clarinet, with music notes filling the air. Cassie sits at her desk, looking unimpressed. A cobra in a basket, presumably meant to be charmed, looks just as miserable.)
Lightning Lady (off-panel, in a thought box): Just our luck we got a tone-deaf cobra!

Phables March 19, 2007

Phables

Today’s Phable is a two-fer. First, find out what happens when an out-of-towner can’t find her car in the 30th Street Station parking lot. Part Two is a follow-up to last week’s Phable in which some guests who are interested in mafia history wind up eating at the Bomb Bomb Barbecue Grill, thanks to their South Philly host. Although the Phable never says anything about the eatery being a mob hang-out, some people have read it that way, and the owner, Frank, has been fielding questions ever since. He says it’s not: The twin bombings were over a chef who came to work for the restaurant from another tavern. It wasn’t a mafia turf war. He explains.
