Chapter 16 | Page 6b: Suffer in silence

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 Shirt, Part Six

VILF Shirt, Part SixThe fans have spoken! I really have to thank you guys! This shirt was your idea from the start, and you’ve guided the design every step of the way. And I have to say, it really looks tight! This bad boy will soon be available for pre-orders. Here’s a look at the final design. I will be adding a small line of type underneath for copyright and URL stuff, but for the most part this is it.

It will be a black, cotton T-shirt with a single, silkscreen print on the front. Nothing on the back or sleeves.

Are there any women interested in a fitted T-shirt or a “baby doll” T-shirt? If so, give me some details and I’ll try to make that happen. Otherwise, I’m going to shoot for the standard M, L, XL, and 2XL sizes.
