After big-dogging some special agents from the FBI in Florida, Mick finds himself (and the Rest of the Office) the go-to call for strange critters all over the U.S., as if they didn’t have enough on their plates. A strange sighting lands Mick in the swamps of South Carolina, where he has to hunt down the utterly weird. The Case of the Lizard Man is a two-part short story that ran on June 16 and 23, 2023 and was inspired by the story of The Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp. (Parts 1 and 2.)

(Parts 1, 2, 3, and 4.)
