Chapter 17 | Page 9: There's something in the air (Patreon)

There’s something in the air at Evil Inc, and it’s not just workplace tension. When Dr. Muskiday gathers the staff to unveil his latest invention, he promises it’s unlike anything they’ve seen before.

But once it becomes clear that “something in the air” may require a live demonstration, Giant Tess steps in — determined to make sure this meeting doesn’t drift into dangerous territory.

Panel 1 Caption (yellow box): The next day…

Dr. Muskiday (entering the nearly empty office, which is empty, speaking): Where is everybody?! Didn’t they get my email??

Panel 2 Giant Tess (holding up a red book): Here’s a guide to proper terminology in the workplace. You’ll want to read it.

Panel 3 Giant Tess, continues in a narration box: “Desi and ‘Dragon’ took one look at the subject line and got exactly the wrong idea.”

Inset image below narration: An email inbox is shown with the subject line highlighted: All-hands meeting — NOW!!

Other visible email subjects include:

“Reminder: It’s Casual Fridays, Not ‘Casualty’”

“Who Keeps Feeding the Lava Lamp?”

“RE: Are Monologues Considered Testimony?”

“Janitor’s Closet…?”

Panel 4 Giant Tess’ narration (yellow box): “When I caught them, I told them to beat it.”

Giant Tess (pointing angrily): (No dialogue)

Desdemona and Iron Dragon are caught mid-makeout on the floor.

Panel 5 Giant Tess: I’ll… um… need that book after you’re finished with it.

Panel 6 Giant Tess: What’s this meeting about, anyway?

Dr. Muskiday (holding the Project SMILE atomizer): I want to show everyone my newest invention!

Panel 7 Giant Tess: This could have been an email.

Dr. Muskiday: Not this. You have to see it to believe it.

Panel 8 Dr. Muskiday: Besides. I need to test it on a human.

Panel 9 Giant Tess (sighing): We’ve talked about this! No more using co-workers as test subjects!

Panel 10 Giant Tess: Do you want a replay of the “Inflatable Intern” fiasco?!

Panel 11 Dr. Muskiday: That wasn’t a fiasco! It worked perfectly!

Panel 12 From overhead, and unseen voice says: It was kind of a fiasco…
