      Alphaghoul, I think Tip’s saying, “If you want me to run a peaceful mediation *and* look fabulous, then I want to know how I can look fabulous with this grade of hair product?”

      The funniest part of this strip is that Anasigma has apparently been providing Tip with hair product at all, even as he’s a prisoner being fed gruel.

        And, what a grueling experience it has been for Tip!

    Anasigma’s gruel – better out than in! (it’s made from walnuts…)

    This is infuriating, isn’t it, Ira? It’s impossible to put a rip into Tip’s worldview, and your entire methodology depends on that.

    PS: This scene reminds me of a thought I once had: after I saw Shazam! I was filled with a holy urge to see Shazam just *talk* to Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor for five minutes. The latter would end up gibbering in sheer frustrated aggravation. I suspect that Ira will do his gibbering on the inside.

      A rip in his worldview? No. A rip in his tights, otoh …

        Hey, Seph? I’m sorry for the complete tangent, but it’s been gnawing at me for a while. Your current avatar is one of those character-maker apps, right? If not, who did it? (You?) Either way, do you remember who did your second most recent avatar portrait?

        The old one’s art style looked so familiar and I thought the itch to identify it would go away when you changed your avatar, but it didn’t. The current avatar is totally cute so I figured I may as well ask while I was already pestering you.

    This is a quality punchline. I like it.

    Mediation between whom?

    If he excels at those, what is he less good at? (We all know about his inability to listen to the problems of others.)

      Tip talks to the aggrieved parties until they resolve their differences, mainly out of shared frustration with Tip’s inability to listen to their problems. This is, technically, peaceful mediation, so long as they don’t quite get to the point of attacking him.

        You mean like Leo? I wouldn’t say Tip exactly excels even at that.

          The doggie election probably counts as excellent. http://skin-horse.com/comic/you-can-call-me/ It strongly depended on looking fabulous and a high proportion of the population who can be influenced by that.

          Same in Vermont. http://skin-horse.com/comic/sensitivity-protocols

    Panel 4: Mr. Green’s response is probably quite common among those who are involved in Skin Horse’s adventures. It helps make the aftermath more tolerable, for at least a short while.

    Come to think about it, Sweetheart’s adventures with bathtub gin means it’s common among the team as well.

    If by gruel Tip means oatmeal then, yeah, great stuff for hair. Gruel is a much funnier word, though.

    You gotta have gruel of some kind, in the right measure.

    Congratulations. You have changed my earworm.

      That’s great, because Anasigma is second worldwide, only behind Khan Noonien Singh, in job opportunities for earworm changers.
