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!

Hey Comics — Kids! DUPED?!

From the thrill of victory to the agony of defeat. I share with my boys the news that the Spider-Man/Avengers story from the last podcast may have been rumor at best… and a hoax at the worst.
We talk about why the rumor may have been circulated in the first place — and decide that perhaps it’s better this way. Perhaps.
To get the taste of duped-ness out of our mouths, Alex catches us up with the latest body count in Naruto as that standout anime series comes to its conclusion.
