Transcript for the January 23, 2025, Evil Inc comic by Brad Guigar:

Panel 1:
Hana Takahashi interviews Captain Heroic in a TV studio, with the headline "When Mimes Attack" visible in the background.
Hana: "That was the scene earlier today, as the Anti-Voxxer hijacked our studio!"

Panel 2:
Hana: "Captain Heroic... can you describe what happened?"
Captain Heroic: "Sure!"

Panel 3:
A close-up of Captain Heroic explaining while a flashback image of the Anti-Voxxer is shown.
Captain Heroic: "This villain can silence anyone in a 25,000-foot radius and manifest invisible walls and imaginary winds—among other things."

Panel 4:
A flashback panel shows the Anti-Voxxer getting taken out by a surprise attack from below, with a "ZIP" sound effect.
Captain Heroic (voice-over): "So there was only one way to get to him... from below."

Panel 5:
Hana looks skeptical, questioning Captain Heroic.
Hana: "But Cap... he had the entire building sealed off. How did you get inside?!"

Panel 6:
Captain Heroic smiles and winks smugly.
Captain Heroic: "Ohhhh, I was already in..."

Panel 7:
Hana glances at her watch while Captain Heroic holds his wink.
Captain Heroic: "How... how much longer do I have to hold this wink?"
Hana: "We’ve got another five minutes until commercial."

VILF Shirt, Part Five

VILF Shirt, Part FiveWell, the comments and the voting pretty much lined up behind Design Number One and Design Number Four. Four got more votes, but both sides were equally vocal.

So, I made a command decision and went with Number Four. I think it’s the most easily identifiable as a villainess. I think Number One was cleaner — and as a design itself, it’s my own favorite — but the image has to help bring the concept of “VILF” home. That’s where Number Four was a little stronger.

Now, let’s talk color. What color shirts would you guys be willing to buy? My gut feeling is black, but I also like the Navy blue and the red. Speak up!

I think we’re going to be hitting pre-orders by next week.

Thanks for all the feedbak, folks. 🙂
