Panel 1:
A building labeled "FNN" (Fairmount News Network) is shown with a banner displaying the network's logo. A yellow narration box reads:
Narration: "You’d never know it, but the Fairmount News Network is in chaos."

Panel 2:
Inside an office with multiple desks, workers look panicked and distressed. Some hold their heads, others gesture as if shouting, and a security guard seems trapped. Speech bubbles are empty.
Narration: "Inside: panic, pain, and pandemonium... without a peep!"
Narration: "Workers are trapped at their desks, unable to phone for help."
Narration: "Security guards are stuck inside invisible constraints."

Panel 3:
A dramatic reveal shows a mime in a black beret, striped shirt, and suspenders stepping forward with a menacing pose. A large caption introduces him:
Narration: "Presently, the menace behind the mayhem steps out of the shadows..."
Large Text: "The ANTI-VOXXER"
Footnote: "Note: 'Vox' is Latin for 'voice.'"

Panel 4:
The newsroom set is shown with anchors being blown away by a mysterious indoor wind, while the mime approaches.

Narration: "He has the rapt attention of the city — and the nation!"

Hey Comics — Kids! Halloween Costumes!

Hey Comics Kids podcast logoIt’s October, and you know what that means — Halloween! On our drive to school today, the boys and I discuss their plans for making Halloween costumes — and our upcoming Halloween party. Max is showing his D&D fandom with plans for a Dragonborn look, and our resident Whovian Alex is planning to build a Dalek costume. Then, we move on to a conversation about my appearance on the Black Tribbles podcast last night. One of the many topics we discussed was casting for the upcoming Dr. Strange movie. We agreed that if it couldn’t be me, it should be a certain actor that — sadly — has not been discussed yet. When you hear the reaction when I drop the man’s name, you’ll agree, it’s can’t-miss casting. Here’s a hint: He wouldn’t have to give up his PhD. (And for a more detailed discussion of the topic, tune into Black Tribbles around the 12-minute mark).
