The science of this is totally feasible. Magnet Bats are well-established, and quite real!
Do you guys read EQ Comics? My comic buddy Dan Long started a Kickstarter campaign to make his second collection. Check out his work if you haven’t already; it’s a delightfully dark and clever comic. And make a pledge to his campaign if you can!
Any of the pledge rewards are a great investment, and Dan’s one of the nicest cartoonists around. He’d really appreciate it. If you’re short on cash, that’s totally okay, too. Spread the news! EQ Comics may be one of your friend’s favorite comics, and they don’t even know it.
























I’ve always wanted to see more magnet bats! Sometimes dreams really do come true!
It’s quite possible your wish made it a reality. Don’t stop dreaming, Joe! *soars away leaving a rainbow trail of inspirational messages in the sky*
Those magnet bats are so freaking adorable!!
They sure are! I noticed this variety of Magnet Bat is a little more menacing that the usual type I draw. Might have something to do with those blood magnets…
Lesson Learned: Never take my vitamins because they could be used against me by magnet bats!
What about zinc? I don’t want to imagine a world without zinc!
I dunno are there zinc magnet bars? Or maybe zinc vampire velociraptors?!?!!!
In a world without zinc, they’d starve to death!
Whoa I had no idea! Thank god the Simpsons is so educational.
Her hair streams so perfectly through the center of that magnet; it is a tiny miracle.
Drawing Miss Bluestocking’s hair is one of my favorite things!
Thanks for all the kindness about my Kickstarterness! I hope none of your readers buy it, hate it, and beat you up because they didn’t like your recommendation!
No problem, Dan!
I have very strong readers, but they’re also very nice. If anything, they might have to restrain themselves when turning the pages of your new book, on account of their highly-developed comic muscles.
I’m counting the science of magnet bats panel as a bonus panel.

Also I misread the first panel and thought Robbie said, “I blame you, lousy bitch.” Dark story indeed.
phew! I’m off the hook.
Seems that panel had a similar impression on a few other readers! Totally unintentional. Bobby is shooting some daggers with those angry eyes of his, though.
I completely thought Bobby said something more vulgar in the first panel… cool magnet bats!
Another negative to iron supplements is they make your pee turn a funny color.
