Evil Inc Shareholders’ Report: SMILE Clouds, Minotaur Mayhem, and March Match-Ups (Patreon)

🧠 Currently in Evil Inc: Project SMILE Goes Office-Wide

Dr. Muskiday’s Project SMILE has officially gone from “experimental morale booster” to “absolute workplace disaster.”

Across the entire Evil Inc office, employees are suddenly displaying their true inner feelings in a cloud floating above their heads. That means every awkward thought, every suppressed emotion, and every “I probably shouldn’t say that out loud” moment is now visible to everyone in the room.

⚡ Coming Up: A Romantic Dinner… with Emotional Cloud Commentary

Next week the SMILE cloud spreads beyond the office and into Lightning Lady’s home life.

She arrives home to discover that Angus has prepared a romantic dinner for two. Sweet gesture, right?

Unfortunately, Lightning Lady still has that emotion cloud hovering over her head — broadcasting every thought she’s having in real time.

Which raises an uncomfortable question:

What happens when your partner can literally see what you’re thinking about the meal… the mood… and the company?

Let’s just say Angus may learn more than he expected about Lightning Lady’s true feelings.

🏆 March Match-Ups Update

Our March Match-Ups tournament continues to roll along!

The first round of the Superhero Edition has wrapped up, and tomorrow I’ll be announcing which heroes advance to the next stage of the bracket.

(No spoilers here — you’ll see the results soon!)

Then next week we kick off Round Two, where the winners of Round One will face off against each other in the next stage of the tournament.

If the first round comments were any indication, this is going to get very competitive.

And possibly very weird.

Stay tuned.

🦋 Bluesky Highlight: Monster Romance Problems

I posted this comic on Bluesky recently, and it still cracks me up. Speaking of minotaurs…

My ComicLab co-host Dave Kellett just announced he’s starting work on his next book, Anatomy of Monsters, and the minotaur gag he posted had me howling.

You can see it here:https://bsky.app/profile/davekellett.bsky.social/post/3mgseki2vkq2p

If this is the direction that book is going, I cannot wait.

🌙 Evil Inc After Dark (Coming Soon…)

Shortly after this happened...

...this happened...

The upcoming Evil Inc After Dark page — scheduled to drop in a couple of days — will show what happens next. And it's not great news for Iron Dragon. Plus...

Catnip is smiling like the cat that got the cream — and for good reason.

More Artist Edition illustrations

If you enjoyed the animated March Match-Up scene between Miss Match and the Giggler, I have a few more ideas I want to try out.

One more from my sketchbook

Here's another peek inside my sketchbook at a really dumb joke that skittered across my brain.

Thanks for reading — and remember: If a floating cloud ever starts revealing your inner thoughts… maybe don’t go out to dinner that night.

See you next week!
