Evil Inc – February 25, 2025
by Brad J. Guigar
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!

Show notes
The voice actors I was struggling to remember were
Harold Peary and
Morey Amsterdam. Both provided voices for one of my favorite Christmas TV specials — Rudolph’s Shiny New Year. And — to my great disdain — I forgot the other magnificent voices that made that special so special. They are:
Good fanboys and geek girls will immediately recognize Frank Gorshin’s voice from his stint as the Riddler on the ’60s
Batman TV series. Paul Frees? He was Bullwinkle’s foil, Boris*. And Don Messick was Scooby Doo, Papa Smurf (TV), and Dr. Benton Quest. Red Skelton was a vaudeville-age comedian who successfully made the transition to radio and then TV. (Although some stories characterize him as much kinder on-stage than we was off-stage.)

* Thank you to the kind reader who pointed out that I had mistakenly credited Frees as Tigger. That was, of course, Paul Winchell.
