The Evil Inc villains think their new manager, Cassie Cruz, has been leaking information to the superheroes, and they’re out to get her. But Cassie has a plan to clear her name.

Transcript

Panel 1
(Jeremy is placing a cobra inside a cabinet.)
Jeremy: These assassination attempts are getting worse.


(Cassie Cruz, adjusting her glasses, speaks confidently.)
Cassie: I've been thinking...
We have multiple projects coming through different departments.

Panel 2
(Jeremy and Cassie stand facing each other, arms crossed, discussing a plan.)
Cassie: We can plant one lie in each employee's case files.

Panel 3
(Cassie smirks as she explains the trap further.)
Cassie: If we see the heroes act on one of the lies...
We'll know which worker leaked the information.

Panel 4
(Jeremy, hands on his face in amazement, praises Cassie, who looks pleased.)
Jeremy: That... that was masterful!
Cassie: Thank you. I'm feeling quite full of myself.

Panel 5
(Cassie tugs on Jeremy's tie, giving him a flirty look.)
Cassie: Speaking of which...

Panel 6
(A cobra and the sentient coffee creature are in the cabinet, now commenting on the situation. The coffee, spilling out of a mug, is using a glass to eavesdrop.)
Cobra: Do you think they'll start playing the clarinet again?

New comics

Posted on March 3, 2015 by Brad Guigar
archbros_20150303_color_cropped Along with your daily dose of Evil, I wanted to make sure you’re keeping up with the two new sites I launched last month.

Arch Bros

There’s a new Arch Bros strip planned for every Tuesday. The latest on just posted today, as a matter of fact. This weekly comic follows the lives of the Arch family, a perfectly normal family with two sons — one who thinks he’s a superhero and the other who thinks he’s a villain. For those of you in the Philly area, Arch Bros will begin appearing in the Philadelphia Daily News on Saturdays.

Meanwhile, over at Guigar.com, I’m posting three single-panel comics a week — plus a bunch of Evil Inc Artist Edition sketches. It’s a Tumblr site, and I’d sure appreciate it if you helped spread the word about the site by reblogging. My goal is to keep to a M-W-F schedule on Guigar.com.

Patreon

And, of course, all of these comics have been seen in advance by my Patreon supporters. If you’d like to help support all of these comics — and keep it so I’m able to continue — please consider supporting for as little as $1 a month!
