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.
Lea Hernandez
If you’re familiar with webcomics, you’re probably familiar with
Lea Hernandez. She was the original editor of Modern Tales’
Girlamatic and co-creator of
Killer Princess.
Hernandez’s collaborator on Killer Princess, Gail Simone, passed along some
sad news yesterday: She had a devastating house fire yesterday morning. From Ms. Simone:
Half her house is now gone, and the rest is smoke-damaged. In addition, she lost at least six of her family’s beloved pets, two dogs and four cats. If you knew Lea, you’d know how devastating that is. She’s lost a great deal of her family’s possessions, including irreplaceable art.
Lea has two (wonderful, amazing) special needs children and right now they need a place to stay and some clothes to wear. More than that, they need some help, and fast, in the form of donations to her paypal account. Lea’s a proud person so I’m going to ask FOR her. This is important, and a great chance to do a wonderful thing for a creator who has consistently enriched this industry we all love so much. Please, take a moment and send WHATEVER YOU CAN to Lea’s paypal account and help make this time a little bit less painful for someone who would do the same for you if the positions were reversed.If you remember the
Webcomics Telethon last year, you may recall what a huge role Lea played. Here’s your chance to do something good in return.
Send her a PayPal donation: divalea(at)gmail(dot)com . You know what to do with the (at) and the (dot).
Do it now before you forget.
