Evil Inc – February 18, 2025
By Brad J. Guigar

[Panel 1]
(Setting: A break room with a window showing a cityscape. Jeremy and Cassie Cruz are sitting at a table, discussing a possible mole.)

Jeremy: Could the mole be someone from the Silver Agency crew?

Cassie Cruz: No... They’ve been in orientation all this time. They wouldn’t have access to high-level intelligence.

[Panel 2]
(Setting: A company orientation room. Employees, including Gluetrap, Malocchio, Giant Tess, and the Night Mayor, are sitting in chairs. A sign in the background reads “SAFETY FIRST – THEN PULL THE TRIGGER” with smaller text referencing workplace romance.)

Gluetrap: What about workplace romances?

Giant Tess: The company frowns on dating among employees.

Night Mayor: That’s not gonna stop me from asking a smokeshow like Lightning Lady out on a date!

(Yellow narration box: “…Or any intelligence, for that matter.”)

[Panel 3]
(Giant Tess responds to Night Mayor's comment.)

Giant Tess: If you got a date with her… The company would go through a series of Tex Avery-style reactions… including bulging eyes, floor-level jaw drops, a carpet-like unraveling tongue…And “Awoogah-awoogah!” sound effects.

[Panel 4]
(Penultimate Silent Panel)

[Panel 5]
(Giant Tess looms over Night Mayor.)

Giant Tess: …And then it would frown.

(End comic.)

Ohio Comic Con — and one date scratched

Posted on September 3, 2015 by Brad Guigar
Due to circumstances beyond my control, I have to cancel my appearance at Wizard World Ft. Lauderdale. So my next appearance, Ohio Comic Con in Columbus (Sept. 18-20), will be my last of the season. The good news is that we’re going out on a high note! I’ll be exhibiting next-door to the mighty Alex Heberling (who does the beautiful color-work on Evil Inc)!
