Transcript

[Panel 1] (At a nearby watering hole...)
Matt the Henchman: I don’t get it! You’re the highest-ranked hench in the biz! What’s got you down?!

[Panel 2] (Argus the Minotaur sighs, sitting at the bar with Matt, drinking beer.)
Argus the Minotaur: sigh I used to hench with a woman. She was… amazing.

[Panel 3] (Flashback of Argus thinking about the past.)
Argus the Minotaur (narration): I couldn’t bring myself to tell her how I felt about her because it woulda wrecked our working relationship.

[Panel 4] (Flashback continues.)
Argus the Minotaur (narration): When she got promoted, I left henching and just… kicked around for a while.

[Panel 5] (Another flashback, showing Argus sneakily capturing Lightning Lady from behind.)
Argus the Minotaur (narration): After years of trying to forget her, I decided to give it one more try.

[Panel 6] (Argus and Lightning Lady sit next to each other, playing video games.)
Argus the Minotaur (narration): Now I’m back where I started. I’m henching again, and she’s close enough to touch, but too far to hold.
*Caption: After a brief stint at the Silver Agency.

[Panel 7] (Back at the bar, Matt looks at Argus.)
Matt the Henchman: So… what? You’re just gonna suffer in silence?

[Panel 8] (Argus grins sadly.)
Argus the Minotaur: Trust me. You do not want to hear a minotaur suffer out loud.

VILF: It’s a Go!

VILF: It’s a Go!

We’ve reached our goal!

I’ll be placing the order next week, so I’ll still take preorders over the weekend.

Thanks to everybody who made this happen!

In other news… Kern posted the following in the forums:

Just a thought, but…*if* this is going to be a limited edition run, and there’s going to only be 35 made… What are your thoughts on maybe signing the shirt for us forum members that have ordered one? Or perhaps a lil’ ‘certificate of authentisity’ numbered in the order of ordering?

Well, I can’t say that this will be a limited-edition run. If funds allow, I may try to sell these at conventions next year. However, if you want me to sign your T-shirt, just drop me an e-mail or post here using Blogger. Please don’t use the Shoutbox for this, because I’ll never be able to keep track of it that way.

And, I will definitely print a numbered Certificate of Authenticity in the order the preorders were received.
