Transcript for the January 23, 2025, Evil Inc comic by Brad Guigar:
Panel 1: Hana Takahashi interviews Captain Heroic in a TV studio, with the headline "When Mimes Attack" visible in the background. Hana: "That was the scene earlier today, as the Anti-Voxxer hijacked our studio!"
Panel 2: Hana: "Captain Heroic... can you describe what happened?" Captain Heroic: "Sure!"
Panel 3: A close-up of Captain Heroic explaining while a flashback image of the Anti-Voxxer is shown. Captain Heroic: "This villain can silence anyone in a 25,000-foot radius and manifest invisible walls and imaginary winds—among other things."
Panel 4: A flashback panel shows the Anti-Voxxer getting taken out by a surprise attack from below, with a "ZIP" sound effect. Captain Heroic (voice-over): "So there was only one way to get to him... from below."
Panel 5: Hana looks skeptical, questioning Captain Heroic. Hana: "But Cap... he had the entire building sealed off. How did you get inside?!"
Panel 6: Captain Heroic smiles and winks smugly. Captain Heroic: "Ohhhh, I was already in..."
Panel 7: Hana glances at her watch while Captain Heroic holds his wink. Captain Heroic: "How... how much longer do I have to hold this wink?" Hana: "We’ve got another five minutes until commercial."
Here’s a special Phables* comic I did back in 2006, that I love to share every Halloween.
It’s the (mostly) true story about a botanist who taught at Transylvania University in Kentucky (the place really exists). When he was caught with the college president’s wife, he was ousted from campus. Upon leaving, he placed a curse on the institution, and, supposedly, every seven years, something tragic happens at Transylvania University. The last “Curse Year”, by the way, was 2018, so we’re due in just two more years.
Phables was a series I did for The Philadelphia Daily News that shared stories about life in Philadelphia. It was nominated for the Eisner Award in 2007. Here’s what it looked like as a full page.
