Erotic Comedy Collection — The Dirty Dozen

This is a collection of 12 short, prose stories I’ve been writing exclusively for my Patreon backers. They’re playful, erotic, and funny — the same kind of storytelling you know from my comics, but in story form. Click here to find out more!

Stories include:

• Clinical Comparison — Monsters lend a hand (and more) at the Corithian Fertility Clinic.

Late at night in City Hall, tensions rise as the mayor weighs the political costs of Mister Prentice’s latest stunt. With reelection on the line and the press hungry for stories, she makes it clear that someone will have to pay the price.

Transcript

[Panel 1]
Caption: Epilogue One: Getting the alternate-universe Lighting Lady home.
(Dr. Muskiday stands at the door of Dean Calder’s apartment. The alternate-universe Lightning Lady is beside him. Dean Calder opens the door.)
Young man: "Yes?"

[Panel 2]
Dr. Muskiday: "Are you Dean Calder... former hench for the Grey Phantom?"
Dean Calder: "Who wants to know?"

[Panel 3]
Dr. Muskiday: "I’m from Evil Inc. Were you part of that interdimensional energy heist?"
Dean Calder: "Maybe…"

[Panel 4]
Dr. Muskiday: "You gained superpowers during that scheme, right?"

[Panel 5]
Dr. Muskiday: "You can transport an alternate-universe version of whomever you’re having sexual contact with..."
Dean Calder (shocked): "Hold on. THAT’S how it works?!?"

[Panel 6]
Dr. Muskiday: "Yes. Why do you ask?"
Dean Calder: "Um... No reason."
(Behind Dr. Muskiday, several alternate-universe versions of Dean Calder appear, each in a red jacket with different skin tones, hair colors, or appearances.)

[Panel 7]
Caption: Epilogue Two: City Hall. Late at night. The Mayor’s office.
(Mister Prentice sits across from the mayor at her desk.)
Mayor: “Do you know how many headlines your little espionage stunt generated, Mister Prentice?”

[Panel 8]
(Mister Prentice responds firmly.)
Mister Prentice: “Not enough.”
Mayor: “Try none. The press is starved for stories, and you fed them empty calories. That’s not gonna get me reelected.”

[Panel 9]
(A billboard of James Schmarter’s campaign is shown. It reads: “Evil is a Feeling, Not a Threat. Vote Smarter. Vote Schmarter.”)
Schmarter: “My opponent plans to slash funding for Justice Ltd.”
Text box: “If I lose, you all lose. Every paycheck, every mission, every operation — gone.”

[Panel 10]
(The mayor leans forward with a sly smile, gesturing with one hand.)
Mayor: “If I can’t have superhero headlines, then the city will read about the manager who made a lost, terrified villain do his dirty work… and how I stopped him.”

[Panel 11]
(Mister Prentice looks alarmed, standing from his chair.)
Mister Prentice: “You… you wouldn’t—”
Mayor: “Let’s hope I don’t have to. That’s why she’s here.”

[Panel 12]
(The mayor gestures toward the door as Yasmine Velour enters, looking confidently at her phone.)
Mayor: “Mister Prentice, meet the new Director of Public Engagement for Justice Ltd… Yasmine Velour!”
Yasmine Velour: “Hashtag: dun-dun-DUNNNN!”
