Catnip is miffed that she’s going to lose her commission due to Cassie Cruz’s new policy. To make matters worse, the superheroes seem to have had advance notice on a number of Evil Inc schemes. Evil Inc has a mole. But who…?

Evil Inc – January 30, 2025
by Brad J. Guigar
Panel 1:
(Setting: The Evil Inc breakroom where several villains are gathered. Catnip, a blonde woman in a blue catsuit, stands with her hands on her hips. Miss Match, a red-haired woman in red and orange, is making coffee; Lightning Lady, a blonde in a blue costume; Desdemona, a red-skinned woman in a black and red outfit; Giant Tess, a woman in a green and orange suit; and Count Spurlock, a green-skinned man in a vest.)
Catnip: "Think about it! To be inside the building, Captain Heroic had to know about the Mime’s plans in advance!"
Lightning Lady: "That’s odd. When Dreadshade cracked the safe at Fairmount Bank, he got glitter-bombed!"
Count Spurlock: "I saw. The guy looked like he went down on Shirley Eaton.*"
Caption (bottom): "*You’ve got Google. Look it up."
Panel 2:
Catnip: "And don’t forget what happened when Dr. Patchwork heisted that shipment of arms…"
(Dr. Patchwork stands in front of a group of zombie henchmen with no arms. He opens a crate of weapons.)
Dr. Patchwork: "Damn it! These are just guns!"
Panel 3:
(Catnip raises a finger, looking serious.)
Catnip: "Face it. Someone is leaking information about our clients’ schemes to the superheroes."
Panel 4:
(A flashback scene shows Cassie Cruz, a brunette in glasses and a white blouse, packing up her office at the “Silver Agency,” a superhero placement agency that is now closed.)
Narration box: "And it’s been happening ever since 'Little Miss Silver Agency' took over."
Panel 5:
(Catnip clenches her fist, her expression determined.)
Catnip: "The answer is clear… WE NEED TO GET RID OF CASSIE CRUZ."
Oh... and this is Shirley Eaton.
Evil Inc is not delivering a virus
This week, I have received a couple of e-mails telling me that some anti-virus software is flagging the Evil Inc site on every load.
First off, thanks to those people who alerted me. I really appreciate it!
Secondly, I have determined that the culprit is, in fact, the Shoutbox to the lower right of this blog. To the best of my ability to discrn — which is not
my ability at all, rather the ability of the very intelligent people I rely upon for support — this is not a virus.
“It sounds like F-secure has an invalid signature that is throwing off false positives. This happens sometimes,” said my esteemed colleauge.
“Ahhhhhh,” I said, realizing that I wouldn’t know an invalid signature if it bit me in the nose.
Anyway, if you are using F-Secure Antivirus software, and if it is registering a similar warning when you visit my site, you can help expedite a fix to this problem.
Go
here and fill out the form to explain what is happening.
You can list my Web site’s URL, plus the virus the software claims that Evil Inc has — Exploit.JS.ADODB.Stream.v — , for them to verify. Hopefully they can update their signatures to fix the issue.
