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! S02E35: Gravity Falls

Hey Comics Kids podcast logoBe sure to visit our Patreon page! (patreon.com/heycomicskids ) The boys were huge fans of the Disney XD animated series, “Gravity Falls.” They loved Dipper and Mabel and Grunkle Stan. They know they’re approaching Weirdmaggeddon, but they’re not sure how they feel about that. This series has been their favorite Disney XD show for a long time, and I’m a little sad that it’s only slated to run two seasons.

About “Gravity Falls”

“Gravity Falls” was created by Alex Hirsh for Disney XD. The story centers on a magic summer vacation that two kids — Dipper and Mabel —  spend with their “Gruncle” (great-uncle) Stan in a town that seems to be immersed in paranormal / supernatural forces. Despite the show’s runaway success, the creator, Hirsch, had a definite story arc in mind for this series, and was able to convince Disney to end it after only two seasons. The story itself is as entertaining as it is intricate — and it was fun to watch the total immersion that happened as my sons got drawn into the writing.
