    Tip’s holding those knitting needle backwards. Unless this is some kind of Mad Science knitting.

      To be fair, it looks like he’s just holding it up to show Sweetheart what he was hiding behind his back.

      Mad science or mad Victorian airs and graces? https://creatingruth.wordpress.com/2013/04/30/do-you-knit-like-miss-marple/

      How do you know it’s not?

    Somehow I had never before thought about how Tip and Helen would get along.

      That is definitely one of the most disturbing thoughts I have ever encountered. Thank you.

      Oh, dear – I fear you may have something there.

      She’s female. We know how it would go.

      Skin horse is a sequel to Narbonic, how far by? could Tip be one of Helen and Dave’s kids?

        I don’t think so; we know Sergio and Mell are the same age (as per Li’l Mell), so guessing that Mell was in her 20s when she was an intern, and Sergio looks around early 30s today, I’d say there can’t be more than 15 years between them, probably less.

        I’d have to go back and look at it again, but I think I had figured it was only around a 5 or 6 year jump from the end of Narbonic to the start of Skin Horse.

        Time flow in the Narboniverse is always a slippery thing, but I think it’s just a year gap between the end of Narbonic and the beginning of Skin Horse, as it is on this side of the fourth wall. So, barring time-travel shenanigans, no.

        Mell is apparently Unity’s father, though.

          I would say that Mell is more like Unity’s twin sister, since they share the same DNA.

          Mell’s just a little smarter, and Unity’s a little… deader.

        They both take place more or less in the times in which they were made, with the exception of chapters involving time travel of course.

    “MAKEOVER!” Weither it is one person or the entire crew/cast,Tip lives for this. 🙂

      That’s the secret plan: first the PJs, then the sleepover, then the makeovers.

    I see Sweetheart is growing into being the boss quite nicely. She’s learning to give her team members space to exercise their strengths.

      Good for you for noticing Sweetheart’s growth. She’s getting HER wish. And for a LOT of ‘underlings’….all THEY need is intelligent oversight, not ‘NO!’, but more like Sweetheart’s been this year. So a great crew is getting some of THEIR wishes too.

      Had a great experience recently. An unlikely person told me of a time when I(I!) had indeed been a boss-JERK.

    Putting out the call for fan art, are we Shaenon and Jeff?

      Even if they weren’t, my guess is that they will be getting some soon enough.

    Where’s the Blue Man Group? Tips dress looks like he borrowed it from Venus Hum. Tip would probably look smashing in flashing.

      I’m surprised he found time to go shopping. That certainly doesn’t look like something from Dr. Jones’s wardrobe.

    I suppose the three fusion reactors power the building but aren’t a source of electricity.

      Perhaps Sweetheart meant the individual – and quite likely proprietary – power supplies required for charging each of the electronic robots.

    Here I thought Sweetheart was the one who liked uniforms.
