Evil Inc, March 11, 2025
Panel 1
(Matt the Henchman and Angus the Minotaur are sitting at a bar. Angus is holding a phone, while matt has a drink in front of him. Angus' phone buzzes with a "boop boop" sound.)
Angus: "ACH! I'm sorry, mate! Duty calls! I'm workin' a gig with The Lethal Librarian!"
Panel 2
Matt (narration panel): "You got picked by the Dewey Decimator?! I'm jealous! I love her tagline!"
Lethal Librarian (a stylish woman with green glasses, a green blazer, and a stern expression, stands pointing.): "You're OVERDUE!"
Panel 3
Angus: "Between you and me, I actually picked her!"
Matt (excitedly): "Geez Louise! How many henches get to pick their own assignments?!"
Panel 4
(Angus smirks while Matt looks on, intrigued.)
Angus: "Only two henches have top-level clearance to access the Master Job Board at Evil Inc...
Angus: "Me, and Spider Mackenzie."
Off-panel voice: "Spider Mackenzie?! He died in that Land Piranha Incident!"
Panel 5
(Matt leans in, skeptical.)
Angus: "Are you sure?!"
Panel 6
(A skeleton, covered in small green piranha-like creatures, sits eerily still.)
Spider: "Oh, I'm certain."
In case you don’t follow me on
Twitter (or if you haven’t Liked the
Facebook page for Evil Inc), you may have missed that I helped launch the first-ever Patreon-exclusive podcast,
Surviving Creativity, with Scott Kurtz and business manager Cory Casoni. In fact, we just uploaded
our second episode and it’s a doozy.
In our first episode,
we spoke with Patreon creator Jack Conte. And hearing him speak so passionately about this project made me want to jump in and see if I could apply what he was talking about to my own comic.
So here’s the deal. First off, absolutely nothing is changing about Evil Inc. I’ll still be doing a daily comic strip, and you’ll still be able to read it at evil-inc.com.
But, now
you’ll be able to sign up to support the comic directly through Patreon.
It works like this: You set a pledge level, and every month I create daily comics, your account is charged at the amount you set. You can even set a cap amount to ensure you never get charged for more than what you expect.*
And the more you pledge, the more rewards you’ll receive. Here’s a breakdown:
- $1/month: Cool backers-only activity feed with behind-the-scenes photos, work in progress and coupon codes.
- $5/month: Everything above PLUS a free subscription to the monthly Evil Inc digital comic.
- $10/month: Everything above PLUS access to a weekly, exclusive hour-long video hangout.
- $20/month: Everything above PLUS you get entered to win a monthly raffle for the original art to an Evil Inc comic strip — your choice, based on availability! AND every time I print a new graphic novel, you get one free (plus shipping charges outside the U.S.).
Sound interesting?
Go sign up now!
This is a work in progress so if you want higher reward levels — or is you have any ideas for cool rewards, please don’t hesitate to get in touch!

* The Pledge Cap is really for creators who don’t do daily content. For example, at Surviving Creativity, our backers are charged every time we post a new podcast. It’s a weekly show but we could conceivable post more than that. Your donation cap would prevent you from getting charged more than you’re comfortable with in that scenario.
And the more you pledge, the more rewards you’ll receive. Here’s a breakdown:
