Evil Inc – February 25, 2025

Panel 1
(Exterior of an office building, music notes are floating out of a window.)
Caption: The following day...

Panel 2
(Inside the office, Miss Match looks distressed, covering her ears. Lightning Lady is also covering her ears. Through a glass window, Jeremy is seen playing a clarinet for Cassie Cruz, who sits at her desk.)
Miss Match: What’s that horrible noise?!

Panel 3
(Miss Match and Lightning Lady continue covering their ears in agony.)
Miss Match: Jeremy has been playing for Cassie for hours!

Panel 4
(Close-up of Miss Match and Lightning Lady, both wincing from the sound.)
Miss Match: This is terrible!
Lightning Lady: Tell me about it...

Panel 5
(Inside Cassie’s office, Jeremy enthusiastically plays the clarinet, with music notes filling the air. Cassie sits at her desk, looking unimpressed. A cobra in a basket, presumably meant to be charmed, looks just as miserable.)
Lightning Lady (off-panel, in a thought box): Just our luck we got a tone-deaf cobra!

A Few Words From Alex

Howdy, folks! Thank you all SO MUCH for the wonderful welcome into the Evil Inc family.  I’ve gotten nothing but lovely tweets and comments from you guys, and it warms the cockles of my heart.  I hope you’re enjoying the new colors as much as I am when making them. KS header graphic FIRST THINGS FIRST!  I’m running a Kickstarter to make the first print volume of The Hues, my webcomic!  You can pick up a book for only fifteen bucks– how easy is that?  Be sure to share the link with your friends and such, too, because that kind of thing really helps. 😀 tagfest_2015 map SECONDLY!  This Saturday, I’ll be at TAGfest in Toledo, OH.  I’ll be at Dealer’s Room booth #1, and anyone who backs the Kickstarter on the spot will get to choose a random free print from the MYSTERY BOX!  My table will be the one with the big rainbow banner that says ART HARDER!  Hope to meet some of you there. 😀
