Chapter 16 | Page 2b: Advance notice

Catnip is miffed that she’s going to lose her commission due to Cassie Cruz’s new policy. To make matters worse, the superheroes seem to have had advance notice on a number of Evil Inc schemes. Evil Inc has a mole. But who…?

Evil Inc – January 30, 2025
by Brad J. Guigar

Panel 1:
(Setting: The Evil Inc breakroom where several villains are gathered. Catnip, a blonde woman in a blue catsuit, stands with her hands on her hips. Miss Match, a red-haired woman in red and orange, is making coffee; Lightning Lady, a blonde in a blue costume; Desdemona, a red-skinned woman in a black and red outfit; Giant Tess, a woman in a green and orange suit; and Count Spurlock, a green-skinned man in a vest.)

Catnip: "Think about it! To be inside the building, Captain Heroic had to know about the Mime’s plans in advance!"

Lightning Lady: "That’s odd. When Dreadshade cracked the safe at Fairmount Bank, he got glitter-bombed!"

Count Spurlock: "I saw. The guy looked like he went down on Shirley Eaton.*"

Caption (bottom): "*You’ve got Google. Look it up."

Panel 2:
Catnip: "And don’t forget what happened when Dr. Patchwork heisted that shipment of arms…"

(Dr. Patchwork stands in front of a group of zombie henchmen with no arms. He opens a crate of weapons.)

Dr. Patchwork: "Damn it! These are just guns!"

Panel 3:
(Catnip raises a finger, looking serious.)

Catnip: "Face it. Someone is leaking information about our clients’ schemes to the superheroes."

Panel 4:
(A flashback scene shows Cassie Cruz, a brunette in glasses and a white blouse, packing up her office at the “Silver Agency,” a superhero placement agency that is now closed.)

Narration box: "And it’s been happening ever since 'Little Miss Silver Agency' took over."

Panel 5:
(Catnip clenches her fist, her expression determined.)

Catnip: "The answer is clear… WE NEED TO GET RID OF CASSIE CRUZ."

Oh... and this is Shirley Eaton.

Hey Comics — Kids! S02E38: Star Wars The Force Awakens

Hey Comics Kids podcast logoBe sure to visit our Patreon page! (patreon.com/heycomicskids ) We went to see Star Wars The Force Awakens as a family, and we all loved it. The boys deliver a perceptive — if not adoring — review.

Star Wars The Force Awakens as a teaching tool

From a parent’s perspective, Star Wars The Force Awakens is an excellent opportunity to talk about things like sexism and racism in terms that are real-world and significant to them. For example, in this podcast, we discussed how some fans were upset that one of the main characters was a woman and another was black. It was a way to discuss these issues in a way that they could relate to — and that’s not always so easy to do. Back on the fanboy side of things, we discuss whether Kylo Ren was the most powerful Sith Lord we’ve seen thus far. He’s definitely more powerful than Darth Maul. But could he have stood toe-to-toe with Vader? We discuss it! And I secretly hope that my experience with my soon-to-be-teenage sons goes a little better than Han Solo’s.
