Transcript

[Panel 1] (At a nearby watering hole...)
Matt the Henchman: I don’t get it! You’re the highest-ranked hench in the biz! What’s got you down?!

[Panel 2] (Argus the Minotaur sighs, sitting at the bar with Matt, drinking beer.)
Argus the Minotaur: sigh I used to hench with a woman. She was… amazing.

[Panel 3] (Flashback of Argus thinking about the past.)
Argus the Minotaur (narration): I couldn’t bring myself to tell her how I felt about her because it woulda wrecked our working relationship.

[Panel 4] (Flashback continues.)
Argus the Minotaur (narration): When she got promoted, I left henching and just… kicked around for a while.

[Panel 5] (Another flashback, showing Argus sneakily capturing Lightning Lady from behind.)
Argus the Minotaur (narration): After years of trying to forget her, I decided to give it one more try.

[Panel 6] (Argus and Lightning Lady sit next to each other, playing video games.)
Argus the Minotaur (narration): Now I’m back where I started. I’m henching again, and she’s close enough to touch, but too far to hold.
*Caption: After a brief stint at the Silver Agency.

[Panel 7] (Back at the bar, Matt looks at Argus.)
Matt the Henchman: So… what? You’re just gonna suffer in silence?

[Panel 8] (Argus grins sadly.)
Argus the Minotaur: Trust me. You do not want to hear a minotaur suffer out loud.

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!
