Click on the thumbnail to see the entire image. This is my all-time favorite Halloween comic from Greystone Inn. It is an homage to Philadelphia’s Henri David Ball — a fantastic costume party thrown every year by jeweler Henri David. Tickets are $25 for costumed revelers and $60 for voyeurs. The proceeds go to charity. This year’s fete is at the Sheraton Center City Hotel at 16th and Race Streets in Philadelphia. Advanced tickets are for sale from the Halloween Jewelry Store, 1329 Pine St.: 215-732-7711. Get there prior to 10 p.m. if you’re buying tickets at the door, because the lines get long. Transcript
Evil Inc – April 1, 2024
By Brad J. Guigar
Panel 1:
(Lightning Lady stands at the doorway, hands on hips, addressing Angus, who looks shocked and hesitant.)
Lightning Lady: "Don't just stand there, impersonating a guppy... Invite me in!"
Angus: "I... I..."
Panel 2:
(Lightning Lady confidently steps inside while Angus still looks uncertain.)
Lightning Lady: "Don't be so dramatic. I was in the neighborhood, so I dropped by..."
Panel 3:
(A voice calls from inside the apartment. Angus turns toward it, while Lightning Lady looks on.)
Voice from inside: "Angus, sweetie... Your breakfast is getting cold!"
Panel 4:
(Lightning Lady looks furious, her mask reflecting her anger.)
Lightning Lady: "You bastard. All this time you said you were OK with us taking things slow..."
Panel 5:
Voice from inside: "Just tell her you're sorry for getting carried away, and promise it won’t happen again!"
(Sound effect as Angus slaps his forehead: smak)
Panel 6:
(Lightning Lady storms toward the source of the voice, determined.)
Lightning Lady: "That does it! I think I’d like to meet this bimbo! Let’s see how she compares to me!"
Panel 7:
(The "other woman" is revealed to be an alternate-universe version of Lightning Lady, wearing a casual oversized t-shirt that reads: "Between the covers is where the magic happens." She looks at Lightning Lady with mild amusement. Angus stands between them, looking awkward.)
Lightning Lady: "OK... You have a type."
