J. Herman Shepard “miffed” About Recent Media Spotlight(s)

It’s with a bit of a regret that I have to inform the internet yet again that Director of Operations at the Intelligence Cleaner Agency, J. Herman Shepard, has reprimanded me again for spreading the word of the Eben07 comic.
Recently, a number of comic blogs have thrust spotlights onto the Eben07 comic – which I enjoy, and I am sure D. Bethel does as well, but for our boss who has to keep things quiet and secret… well let’s just say he doesn’t like getting “phone calls from corporate.”
I try and try to assure him that the right thing to do is to spread the word out about the comic – let people read it and be distracted by the artwork and silly words and they’ll forget all about the 638 ways the United States government tried to assassinate Fidel Castro, that nuclear assault on Fort Knox, or the secret location of the Ark of the Covenant (it’s not in Warehouse 13, folks…) or hell – they’ll forget all about the fact that my great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather tried to -REDACTED J. HERMAN SHEPARD- and I’m really just a -REDACTED J.HERMAN SHEPARD-
Plus, do the people that are enemies of the Intelligence Cleaner Agency really read the likes of Fleen? or Two Guys Talking Webcomics? or the Art Patient blog? or the ever funny Muddlecreek? I love reading their well-informed webcomic news and opinions to get a pulse on what’s happening in webcomics, but scouring their pages for our nation’s top secrets?! With all due respect, Mr. Shepard. Our agency isn’t springing leaks because these guys find D. Bethel’s artwork visually compelling.
Even as I sit here with this reprimand in my hand, I have to wonder – wasn’t the whole point of this comic to distract the public’s attention from what we really do? Oh well – I guess it is safe to say Operation: Mongoose doesn’t only have the comic communities attention anymore…
Cheers guys, thanks for the press!

Well, the original government oversight mandated that you declassify the operations of the ICA, so I imagine that if you’re getting this out on the web and into the public eye, as the original point was, the congressional folks are at least pleased, if Shepard is not.
Other than that, I should be commenting more regularly in about a fortnight.

Yeah! I know. With all due respect to J.H. – I have to say he’s missed the point. I think he just had to do it. The folks that releasing news stories about us are helping us out a ton, and I want to thank them for it. I hope they know how grateful I am.
And we do miss you Wolf. Hope you’ve been enjoying the story lately.

Ah, yes. Indeed I have.
I’m somewhat troubled by today’s page, though…
