I thought this was the best one yet.  It reminds me of the Bearing Gifts series a lot.  Not a lot of plot complexity, but it brings the heat.

Fortunately, he's less of a complete jerk than Bertram or presents himself as less of one, or it would be a waste of great art and enjoyable tableaus.

There is a lot heat
 ;D
This is great lovely woman  ;D

I'm really enjoying this series, especially how the protagonist is slowly getting corrupted by his power over the women in his life and how he is increasing his control over them while they are not in a trance. I can't wait to see what comes next.

It's going through HK growing pains with an accelerated timetable.  He's a bit more like the guy from The Bet than the guys from Employee Orientation and Bed and Breakfast who you end up wanting to slam through a wall (or drop Acme safes on).

I like this series a lot.

Plus we get a taste of some of the induction techniques he's using, which really does it for me.

I don't think the MCer is being slowly corrupted at all; he pretty much went for the gusto as soon as he got the first girl under.

This is probably the best computer-drawn series the website has ever done.  It's better than the "Bearing Gifts" series because the girls at least have a trace of personality, and more importantly, the slower pacing.  If you go from 0 to sex slave in two pages of a comic, the action gets repetitive.  Gradually modifying the girls as is happening in this comic is much hotter.

Also, it possibly provides the illusion that this gentleman isn't as gnarled and festered as Bertram because he's working up nerve to try more instead of saying "I am all powerful, watch me eradicate these women and knead the leftovers like dough" which I just don't find appealing.

The boss from EO and the "friend" from The Bet probably have similar appetites, but the guy from The Bet at least seems

1. Less threatening,
2. Less immediately power-drunk and
3. more sympathetic

which makes him more entertaining.

Or another vid example

The guy from Hell House is a lot more sympathetic than the guy from Bed and Breakfast.  I'm not presenting a high threashold, but I am indicating, that I think theer is one (at least for me).  Even the Assistant from Act Now is more sympathetic than the boss from the EO series or the Bed & Breakfast "caller."

Didn't get a chance to read this series until now. Gotta say, I was surprised how much I ended up enjoying it. ;)

Reminds me of early THK in some ways. I like that the ladies know something is kinda up, but still think it is normal. Also, the gradual subversion rather than the instant slave. This means we get some mind control action over the course of several issues, with different ladies at varying degrees of subversion. If every woman is completely reprogrammed with no time or effort, then it feels like nothing has been gained. Also, if we are instantly at the point where they all act like obedient nymphomaniacs then that becomes the status quo, and no longer feels like a satisfying mind control story.

One element that bugs me a bit from both this and Bearing Gifts is the constant mirroring of the controller's words by the victim. I know the extra dialog is meant to make up for the lack of panels on the pages, but it just drowns me in text. So I end up skipping those parts entirely whenever they come up.
