Transcript

Panel 1

(Cassie Cruz speaking to Jeremy, who is standing in front of a board with pictures of various Evil Inc employees.)

Cassie Cruz: Jeremy, we have to find out who has been leaking information to the heroes before they pin it on me! The only nursing home capable of caring for my mother is contingent on my job here! — And even they have their hands full!

Panel 2

(A flashback scene shows Cassie narrating while Princess Charming, an elderly woman in a wheelchair, is interacting with another patient in the nursing home.)

Cassie Cruz (narrating): As a top-tier mind-controller with dementia, my mom keeps reliving the past — and pulling innocent people into her world!

Panel 3

(A flashback continues with an orderly, wearing a red shirt, standing near Princess Charming. Green energy surrounds them as the orderly appears to be in a trance.)

Cassie Cruz (narrating): Last week, an orderly forgot to turn on his neuro-dampener last week. Before anyone knew it, he was reenacting a battle between Mom and Hijinx.

Jeremy: Was Hijinx a hero she used to fight?

Panel 4

Cassie Cruz (narrating): Worse. It was a villain she had a rivalry with.

Princess Charming: I wish I could be like you. It must be so freeing not to stress over every little pound!

Panel 5

(Orderly is sitting on a couch, speaking with a therapist)

Cassie Cruz (narrating): The poor guy has been in counseling ever since!

Orderly: I mean… I thought I looked cute in bangs!

This is my favorite time of year. The weather is perfect, the kids are back in school and my favorite holiday, Halloween, is just around the corner. So I’m launching a new offer — a Halloween Special —to entice some of you to support my cartooning through Patreon (and reward those of you who already are). If you sign up to back my Patreon campaign at the $5/month (or higher) in October, you’ll get a special 80-page Halloween comics collection along with all of your other rewards. And that’s good for my current $1 backers who increase their pledge, too! Support my comics on Patreon today! This gargantuan special issue contains some of my best Halloween-related comics from an unlucky 13 years of cartooning. You’ll see the spooky best of Evil Inc as well as the annual Halloween storylines from Greystone Inn and a couple very creepy stories from the Eisner-award-nominated Phables. If you loved the sexy, sassy Real Housewives of Transylvania, they’re represented in two fierce storylines.Of course, if you’d rather not sign up for Patreon, you can still get your meat-hooks into this plus-sized spooktacular.
