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."

Smart, Alex Episode One

Not to be outdone by his little brother, Alex has decided to launch his own 15-minute podcast called Smart, Alex. Like 15 Min Max, this new solo effort will appear in the feed for our new group podcast Hey Kids — Comics! In this inaugural episode, Alex discusses the new season of Dr. Who — despite my best attempts to confuse him by conflating the number of seasons with the number of Doctors. Nonetheless, he soldiers on and delivers an apt review of the unfolding season. And then he pulls out an obscure reference to close the show with that will melt the heart of any old-school animation fans. Subscribe to us on iTunes.  Follow us on Evil Inc Follow us on Blubrry
