Transcript

Panel 1

(Cassie Cruz speaking to Jeremy, who is standing in front of a board with pictures of various Evil Inc employees.)

Cassie Cruz: Jeremy, we have to find out who has been leaking information to the heroes before they pin it on me! The only nursing home capable of caring for my mother is contingent on my job here! — And even they have their hands full!

Panel 2

(A flashback scene shows Cassie narrating while Princess Charming, an elderly woman in a wheelchair, is interacting with another patient in the nursing home.)

Cassie Cruz (narrating): As a top-tier mind-controller with dementia, my mom keeps reliving the past — and pulling innocent people into her world!

Panel 3

(A flashback continues with an orderly, wearing a red shirt, standing near Princess Charming. Green energy surrounds them as the orderly appears to be in a trance.)

Cassie Cruz (narrating): Last week, an orderly forgot to turn on his neuro-dampener last week. Before anyone knew it, he was reenacting a battle between Mom and Hijinx.

Jeremy: Was Hijinx a hero she used to fight?

Panel 4

Cassie Cruz (narrating): Worse. It was a villain she had a rivalry with.

Princess Charming: I wish I could be like you. It must be so freeing not to stress over every little pound!

Panel 5

(Orderly is sitting on a couch, speaking with a therapist)

Cassie Cruz (narrating): The poor guy has been in counseling ever since!

Orderly: I mean… I thought I looked cute in bangs!

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!
