Panel 1
(Exterior of an office building, music notes are floating out of a window.)
Caption: The following day...

Panel 2
(Inside the office, Miss Match looks distressed, covering her ears. Lightning Lady is also covering her ears. Through a glass window, Jeremy is seen playing a clarinet for Cassie Cruz, who sits at her desk.)
Miss Match: What’s that horrible noise?!

Panel 3
(Miss Match and Lightning Lady continue covering their ears in agony.)
Miss Match: Jeremy has been playing for Cassie for hours!

Panel 4
(Close-up of Miss Match and Lightning Lady, both wincing from the sound.)
Miss Match: This is terrible!
Lightning Lady: Tell me about it...

Panel 5
(Inside Cassie’s office, Jeremy enthusiastically plays the clarinet, with music notes filling the air. Cassie sits at her desk, looking unimpressed. A cobra in a basket, presumably meant to be charmed, looks just as miserable.)
Lightning Lady (off-panel, in a thought box): Just our luck we got a tone-deaf cobra!

VILF Shirt, Part ThreeOK… let’s table the color scheme for a moment and concentrate on the design itself.

The silhouette design is and overwhelming favorite. I made her a little more sexy, ditched the cuffed boots, and added stilletto heels and a devil’s tail (to drive home the evil concept). You’ll notice a few different tails — let me know which one works best for you.

I’m also trying out fonts — special thanks to Paul Southworth who consulted on typography — and listening to any other issues that come to mind. Next, we’ll start talking color.
