Evil Inc full page, week of June 24, 2025

When tensions run high, sometimes the best solution is a night on the town — or so they thought. After deciding to bring Cassie along for a round of karaoke to smooth things over, Miss Match and Desi wake up to a harsh morning full of regret, caffeine, and whispered recriminations. What really happened at the karaoke bar? Let’s just say some performances are hard to forget.

Transcript

[Panel 1: Cassie’s office – Desi enters]
Narration box: One week later…
Desi: Cassie… I want to apologize for trying to kill you with demonic coffee.
Desi: If you still have it, I’ll exorcize the spirit, and remove it from your office.
Cassie: So… you can possess anything with a spirit — making it a sentient object?!

[Panel 2: Desi posing playfully]
Desi: Yeah. It’s kinda my thing. Why? — You want something possessed?
Cassie: I’ve been considering it…

[Panel 3: Desi excitedly leans forward]
Desi: Ooh! What did you have in mind?

[Panel 4: Cassie opens her desk drawer while Desi looks intrigued]
Cassie: You’re not the only one with personal effects at the office…

Jeremy: Subby-sense… tingling!
