Panel 1
(Cassie Cruz speaking to Jeremy, who is standing in front of a board with pictures of various Evil Inc employees.)
Cassie Cruz: Jeremy, we have to find out who has been leaking information to the heroes before they pin it on me! The only nursing home capable of caring for my mother is contingent on my job here! — And even they have their hands full!
Panel 2
(A flashback scene shows Cassie narrating while Princess Charming, an elderly woman in a wheelchair, is interacting with another patient in the nursing home.)
Cassie Cruz (narrating): As a top-tier mind-controller with dementia, my mom keeps reliving the past — and pulling innocent people into her world!
Panel 3
(A flashback continues with an orderly, wearing a red shirt, standing near Princess Charming. Green energy surrounds them as the orderly appears to be in a trance.)
Cassie Cruz (narrating): Last week, an orderly forgot to turn on his neuro-dampener last week. Before anyone knew it, he was reenacting a battle between Mom and Hijinx.
Jeremy: Was Hijinx a hero she used to fight?
Panel 4
Cassie Cruz (narrating): Worse. It was a villain she had a rivalry with.
Princess Charming: I wish I could be like you. It must be so freeing not to stress over every little pound!
Panel 5
(Orderly is sitting on a couch, speaking with a therapist)
Cassie Cruz (narrating): The poor guy has been in counseling ever since!
Orderly: I mean… I thought I looked cute in bangs!

Courting Disaster
Courting Disaster, my weekly comic about sex, love, and relationships updates every Friday.
You’ll laugh your pants off.This week’s question:
My relationship with my boyfriend has always been very close and positive. Over last summer, I had to stay at my usual multi-week summer job a few states away. An old friend of mine decided that she had feelings for boyfriend, and decided, knowing the relationship between us was not open, “to try.” His rejecting her caused a cascade of hurt relations and trust issues between us and several old (high school) friends of ours. She still is “trying” on a more subtle level, and still getting rejected.
It’s putting a large damper on my ability to make friends in our college area, and I feel like both BF and I get jealous of the new friends each other is making, but are otherwise doing well. I feel horrible still, what should I do? –Still Hurts Go on over and offer some
advice.
