Evil Inc – March 13, 2025

Panel 1:
(Narration box:)
The following morning finds Angus in North Fairmount, stocking a safehouse at the request of his employer, the Lethal Librarian…

Angus:
Good morning, ma’am.

Mrs. Elliot:
Now I’ve seen everything! A TALKING COW!

Panel 2:
Angus (clears throat):
Ahem—I am a minotaur, ma’am.

Panel 3:
Mrs. Elliot:
Don’t you go stomping around in there! I have Hummels in the china closet!

Panel 4:
Angus (hesitant):
I… don’t… stomp…

Mrs. Elliot:
You’re brown. Does that mean you give chocolate milk?

Panel 5:
Angus:
That’s a myth, ma’am.

Mrs. Elliot:
Ok… So put me down for a quart of regular and a pint of heavy cream.

Panel 6:
(Angus stomps his hoof in frustration, making a loud THUMP sound.)

Angus (shouting):
I AM NOT A COW!

(A small sound comes from the background: Tinkle.)

Panel 7:
Mrs. Elliot (smirking):
If that’s the little girl feeding ducks, you’re in deep manure, bossy.

The Complete Greystone Inn — 50%-off the hardcover

Complete_GI_coverIf you’ve ever considered getting a copy of The Complete Greystone Inn hardcover — but were put off by that $60 hardcover price tag — your moment has come. Now through Nov. 24, you can get your copy of this 416-page tome at 50% off! Just use offer code: HC50. Greystone Inn was my first daily comics strip, running from 2000-2005. Inspired by both Who Framed Roger Rabbit and The Larry Sanders Show, it was a comic strip about a fictional syndicated comic strip called Greystone Inn. Like Roger Rabbit, Argus the gargoyle — and the other stars of the comic — were living, breathing cartoon characters who worked among humans. And, like Sanders, most of the storytelling took place behind the scenes. Click to download a PDF sampler of the strip.
