Maru Enjoys a Bowl

Maru gets some early holiday presents: A bowl based on Devo’s famous flowerpot hat, which is so comfortable that Hana and Kitten Miri want their own; and a creepy toy that is noticeably less popular. Later, Maru tests a scientific hypothesis: Is a cat’s choice of beer box truly random or can it be controlled?

He’s such a great test subject, Andrew Y.

How to Be a Supervillain, Lesson 12: Perfecting Your Evil Laugh

Surprising as it may sound, the evil laugh can often be the most disarming tool in the evil villain’s arsenal. It can inspire minions to fanatical levels of devotion and also demoralize handsome enemy agents so that they accept the futility of their feeble attempts to thwart your plans. The proper evil laugh has many parts:

  • Laugh: Begin with an innocent chuckle, as if savoring a private joke. As the inevitability of victory becomes clear to you, build into a maniacal cackle.
  • Pose: During the cackle, lift the head up and gaze into the skies, as if challenging the very gods above. Avoid eye contact with insignificant mortals near you.
  • Lighting: An eerie glow from beneath will make you appear more terrifying. Possible sources: Flashlight, table lamp, nuclear reactor.
  • Special Effects: If you can manage to shoot lightning bolts from your cheeks and eyebrows, do it. Nobody will mess with you at that point, guaranteed.
