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!

Seven Years!
Today marks seven years of producing a daily comic strip for me! I launched my first comic,
Greystone Inn seven years ago
today. Greystone ran six-days-a-week (with few exceptions) until
June 21, 2005.
The next day, of course,
Evil Inc was launched. It has run Monday-through-Saturday ever since.
The past seven years have also seen the rise of no fewer than two weekly comics.
Courting Disaster, a single-panel strip about sex and relationships, was launched on
Jan 12, 2005.
And
Phables, which began as a bi-weekly but has been promoted to a weekly earlier this year, is a full-page comic about life in Philadelphia which started last year on
Feb. 20.
I can’t tell you how thrilled I am to be reaching this benchmark. There’s no way I could have done it without the amazing support of my family. My wife is, was, and always will be, the best wife in webcomics.
And then there’s you.
I can’t thank you enough for your friendship and support. It was brought into sharp focus last week during our battle with Wikipedia. You guys rallied, railed, ranted, and raged…
And you
won.
You guys make it all worthwhile. I can’t say how much your support means to me. Every book you buy… every convention you visit me at… every e-mail, blog response, and forum comment… wow.
Thank you.
