Evil Inc – April 1, 2024
By Brad J. Guigar
Panel 1:
(Lightning Lady stands at the doorway, hands on hips, addressing Angus, who looks shocked and hesitant.)
Lightning Lady: "Don't just stand there, impersonating a guppy... Invite me in!"
Angus: "I... I..."
Panel 2:
(Lightning Lady confidently steps inside while Angus still looks uncertain.)
Lightning Lady: "Don't be so dramatic. I was in the neighborhood, so I dropped by..."
Panel 3:
(A voice calls from inside the apartment. Angus turns toward it, while Lightning Lady looks on.)
Voice from inside: "Angus, sweetie... Your breakfast is getting cold!"
Panel 4:
(Lightning Lady looks furious, her mask reflecting her anger.)
Lightning Lady: "You bastard. All this time you said you were OK with us taking things slow..."
Panel 5:
Voice from inside: "Just tell her you're sorry for getting carried away, and promise it won’t happen again!"
(Sound effect as Angus slaps his forehead: smak)
Panel 6:
(Lightning Lady storms toward the source of the voice, determined.)
Lightning Lady: "That does it! I think I’d like to meet this bimbo! Let’s see how she compares to me!"
Panel 7:
(The "other woman" is revealed to be an alternate-universe version of Lightning Lady, wearing a casual oversized t-shirt that reads: "Between the covers is where the magic happens." She looks at Lightning Lady with mild amusement. Angus stands between them, looking awkward.)
Lightning Lady: "OK... You have a type."
Samantha and Babysitting Villains
Readers of my previous comic strip,
Greystone Inn, will recognize the woman at the end of the table in today’s comic.
It’s Samantha Miller, Mac’s wife, who was
hired into the Evil Inc Public-Relations department.
Sam’s pregnancy is the topic of the “Best of Greystone Inn” book,
Prodromal Teeth (And Other Perils of Pregnancy and Parenthood).She started out as the Greystone
publicist, but was later
fired. Despite a strong
resume, she was unable to find another job in public relations.
She finally found a job as a
day-care provider for children of super-villains at the League of Evil.
The
League of Evil was the precursor to Evil Inc. In
Evil Inc continuity, it was a villainous start-up that Evil Inc quickly bought and assimilated.
