Panel 1:
A building labeled "FNN" (Fairmount News Network) is shown with a banner displaying the network's logo. A yellow narration box reads:
Narration: "You’d never know it, but the Fairmount News Network is in chaos."

Panel 2:
Inside an office with multiple desks, workers look panicked and distressed. Some hold their heads, others gesture as if shouting, and a security guard seems trapped. Speech bubbles are empty.
Narration: "Inside: panic, pain, and pandemonium... without a peep!"
Narration: "Workers are trapped at their desks, unable to phone for help."
Narration: "Security guards are stuck inside invisible constraints."

Panel 3:
A dramatic reveal shows a mime in a black beret, striped shirt, and suspenders stepping forward with a menacing pose. A large caption introduces him:
Narration: "Presently, the menace behind the mayhem steps out of the shadows..."
Large Text: "The ANTI-VOXXER"
Footnote: "Note: 'Vox' is Latin for 'voice.'"

Panel 4:
The newsroom set is shown with anchors being blown away by a mysterious indoor wind, while the mime approaches.
Narration: "A mysterious indoor wind blows the anchors away from the news desk as he approaches!"
Narration: "He has the rapt attention of the city — and the nation!"

Panel 5:
The Anti-Voxxer gestures dramatically while holding a piece of paper. On-screen text identifies the situation.
Narration: "There have been better-thought-out schemes..."

I’m Just Drinking

I’m Just DrinkingPhil Kahn, writer of webcomics criticism blog I’m Just Saying and editor of webcomics collective Biscuit Press has been working on a top secret webcomics project for a little while now called “I’m Just Drinking.” It’s a pretty oddball concept. It’s what you get when a momma wiki and a daddy bartending guide have a child raised by webcomics. A wiki database of webcomics themed drinks, shooter and cocktails galore.

Phil’s a good guy and this is a really neat idea. If I understand correctly, there will be a book in the works.

Check it out, there’s drinks for Courting Disaster and Greystone Inn.

But, alas, there’s nothing for Evil Inc. Someone’s gonna have to fix that! If you have a good drink recipe that fits the strip, don’t hesitate to submit it!
