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.

Patreon Report: November

patreon_promo_dec This morning, I posted the first reward for my Patreon backers — a set of digital wallpapers for desktops and mobile devices. In October, I was happy to announce that I had post more than one Patreon exclusive for every weekday in the month, and I mentioned that my goal was to keep up that pace — if not top it — in November. So I’m super-proud to share with you my Patreon-by-the-numbers for November. Last month, I uploaded 29 posts for my Patreon backers.

Evil Inc After Dark has turned into an amazing thing — full-page stories, many of which link together into a larger narrative… and no limits. If you liked Courting Disaster, you’re going to love seeing what I can do when the gloves come off. (And the gloves are just for starters…) If you miss the comment section on the main site, this is also a chance to have discussion with other Evil Inc fans. The chat function in Patreon updates immediately, so if I’m around (and I usually am), we can even talk in real time. In short, Patreon is where it’s all happening.
