Evil Inc – March 25, 2025

Panel 1:
(Scene: A bedroom in disarray—lightning crackles around, furniture and electronics are damaged. Angus the Minotaur and Lightning Lady lie in bed together, Angus looking concerned.)

Caption: Several thunderous hours later…

Angus: By Asterion’s horns… I… I’m afraid we owe the Lethal Librarian a new bed.

Lightning Lady: …Not to mention a small fortune in electronics…

Lightning Lady (sheepishly): Sorry…

Angus (calmly): That happens sometimes.

Panel 2:
(Close-up of the two in bed, with Lightning Lady snuggled against Angus.)

Lightning Lady: So… is there another bed…?

Panel 3:
(Same close-up, slight change in expressions—Lightning Lady looking up at Angus.)

Lightning Lady: …Or are we sleeping on the floor tonight?

Panel 4:
(Angus, still holding Lightning Lady, answers with a smirk.)

Angus: There’s a couch…

Lightning Lady: How sturdy is it?

Panel 5:
(Angus looks at Lightning Lady with an amused, knowing expression.)

Angus: I have a feeling we’re about to find out.

Hey Comics — Kids! Superman vs Batman

Consider this another proof-of-concept podcast. We recorded this one on the drive to school using my new Simple Lav microphone plugged into my iPhone (running the 99¢ Audio Memos app). I tell you this because I’m hoping one of you audiophiles can help me dampen the background noise in future podcast — if we decide to keep doing these this way.

Superman vs Batman

My two sons (ages 12 and 8) take the debate beyond the lame “who would win in a fight” potboiler. We get down to the nitty gritty… which is the better superhero? And the answers they come up with are way more complex than I was prepared for. Audio Player The boys are really enjoying recording the podcast — and reading the reactions on Twitter, Facebook, etc. So if you’d like to hear them address a specific topic or if you have a show idea, please hit the comments below. To hear the previous episodes of Hey Comics — Kids, click here. And, of course, 15 Minutes Max, where my 8yo pontificates for a quarter hour on whatever’s on his busy little mind.
