[Panel 1]
(Caption: A few nights later, Angus checks in with his employer, the Lethal Librarian.)
Angus: Yes, ma’am, I’m nearly finished stocking the safehouse.

Angus (on the phone): You didn’t warn me about Mrs. Elliot. She thinks I’m a cow!
She keeps insisting I leave quarts of milk on her front stoop.
[Panel 3]
(Close-up of the Lethal Librarian on the phone, looking incredulous.)

[Panel 4]
(Caption: "There was only one way to make her stop.")
(Angus is seen sneaking up Mrs. Elliot’s stairs at night, placing bottles of white liquid on her doorstep.)
[Panel 5]
(Lethal Librarian, shocked on the phone.)
Lethal Librarian: Great Gutenberg’s ghost! You didn’t!
Angus: I didn’t… but I’m putting her dairy bill on your account.
(Angus is in the kitchen, pouring milk into bottles.)
[Panel 6]
(Sound effect: knock knock*)
Angus (on phone): I’ll call you back.

Angus: Someone’s at the door.

Angus: LIGHTNING LADY!
Lightning Lady: You’ll never believe what your neighbor asked me to do…
How can I not point out a
review of Evil Inc Annual Report volumes
one and two that opens like this:
Evil Inc. is one of those strips that I always wanted to get into. A ridiculously long Google Reader’s worth of webcomics always drove me away from it’s daunting archives and rich, deep cast of characters. When March’s Webcomics Weekend provided me with not only the chance to jump on board the good ship Evil but also to meet The Nicest Guy In Webcomics in person, I dove head first at both opportunities. That, plus Steve, a long-time Guigar supporter, noted that if I didn’t meet the man himself, I would be missing out on meeting a true webcomic luminary. Good call, Steve.
In all seriousness, the review of both books is even-handed and fair.
And I’m not just saying that because I’m the Nicest Guy in Webcomics. 🙂
