Evil Inc – February 18, 2025
By Brad J. Guigar
[Panel 1]
(Setting: A break room with a window showing a cityscape. Jeremy and Cassie Cruz are sitting at a table, discussing a possible mole.)
Jeremy: Could the mole be someone from the Silver Agency crew?
Cassie Cruz: No... They’ve been in orientation all this time. They wouldn’t have access to high-level intelligence.
[Panel 2]
(Setting: A company orientation room. Employees, including Gluetrap, Malocchio, Giant Tess, and the Night Mayor, are sitting in chairs. A sign in the background reads “SAFETY FIRST – THEN PULL THE TRIGGER” with smaller text referencing workplace romance.)
Gluetrap: What about workplace romances?
Giant Tess: The company frowns on dating among employees.
Night Mayor: That’s not gonna stop me from asking a smokeshow like Lightning Lady out on a date!
(Yellow narration box: “…Or any intelligence, for that matter.”)
[Panel 3]
(Giant Tess responds to Night Mayor's comment.)
Giant Tess: If you got a date with her… The company would go through a series of Tex Avery-style reactions… including bulging eyes, floor-level jaw drops, a carpet-like unraveling tongue…And “Awoogah-awoogah!” sound effects.
[Panel 4]
(Penultimate Silent Panel)
[Panel 5]
(Giant Tess looms over Night Mayor.)
Giant Tess: …And then it would frown.
(End comic.)

Wonder Woman turns 65!
The
Philadelphia Daily News has an excellent package on Wonder Woman today. It talks about how her mythos has lasted sixty-five years and previews the new WW book as well. It also features an illustration by Yours Truly, so if you’re in the circulation area, pick up a copy. 🙂 Click on the thumb on the right for a better look.
[PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS]
“She is the first female superhero that has crossed generations and is important to everyone as a role model,” said comic writer Jimmy Palmiotti (“Painkiller Jane”). “And that costume… woo-ha!”
“She is empowering to women and irresistible to men,” opined comic and TV writer Christos Gage (“Law and Order: SVU”). “She embodies female strength, beauty and character.” Read more. 
Unfortunately, the story doesn’t spend any time with the most fascinating aspects of Wonder Woman — like the fact that she was created by psychologist
William Moulton Marston, to appeal to young girls. The psychologist fell in love with his creation, writing the comics for six years. But perhaps the most intriguing aspect of the Wonder Woman mythos is the predominant themes of
bondage.
