Evil Inc – April 1, 2024
By Brad J. Guigar

Panel 1:
(Lightning Lady stands at the doorway, hands on hips, addressing Angus, who looks shocked and hesitant.)
Lightning Lady: "Don't just stand there, impersonating a guppy... Invite me in!"
Angus: "I... I..."

Panel 2:
(Lightning Lady confidently steps inside while Angus still looks uncertain.)
Lightning Lady: "Don't be so dramatic. I was in the neighborhood, so I dropped by..."

Panel 3:
(A voice calls from inside the apartment. Angus turns toward it, while Lightning Lady looks on.)
Voice from inside: "Angus, sweetie... Your breakfast is getting cold!"

Panel 4:
(Lightning Lady looks furious, her mask reflecting her anger.)
Lightning Lady: "You bastard. All this time you said you were OK with us taking things slow..."

Panel 5:
Voice from inside: "Just tell her you're sorry for getting carried away, and promise it won’t happen again!"
(Sound effect as Angus slaps his forehead: smak)

Panel 6:
(Lightning Lady storms toward the source of the voice, determined.)
Lightning Lady: "That does it! I think I’d like to meet this bimbo! Let’s see how she compares to me!"

Panel 7:
(The "other woman" is revealed to be an alternate-universe version of Lightning Lady, wearing a casual oversized t-shirt that reads: "Between the covers is where the magic happens." She looks at Lightning Lady with mild amusement. Angus stands between them, looking awkward.)
Lightning Lady: "OK... You have a type."

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).
