I’m just squeeing with geek happiness that the water-proportion figure is *right*. Nobody ever gets that right. (No, we are *not* 95% water unless you break everything down and count the atoms and consider 2H + 1O to be a water molecule rather than, say, a tiny part of a carbohydrate.)
Cells are so full of *stuff* that they’re viscous even on our scale. 60% is about right, though it can get as low as 30% in some cells’ cytoplasm depending on how you measure it (but of course the extracellular matrix is more watery and pushes the figure back up again).
On the plus side, he can’t really make things any worse.
Y’know… unless he puts on a hat.
“Wait, how do you work the legs?” That’s gotta be the worst line yet.
Has anyone tried these lines on Sweetheart? Is that why she thinks they’ll work?
She probably got them either from her goblin smut novels, or from old ’70s and ’80s TV shows. I can think of a few more…
“If I follow you home will you keep me?” She might like that one.
“If I told you you had a great body, would you hold it against me?”
One not to use, “why do birds suddenly appear, every time you are near?”
i always get flustered and say wrongly line things girls to.
“That’s a beautiful dress, it would look much better on me.”
You’re a gall bladder. Why would a dress look better on a gall bladder?
Look at it this way: A gall bladder would look better with a dress covering it.
I think a healthy gall bladder looks best properly connected inside a (preferably) human body. Otherwise, complete agreement.
Tip is at the controls now. Not only could he still use this line, he could proceed to prove it.
“I’m extremely wealthy.”
“I have USD10K to spend; care to help me?
I’m gonna remember that water one for the next “so bad they’re awesome” chat-up line competition. Magnificent.

Now I’m interested in what the Maitre’d thinks
I’ve been wondering that myself. In fact, I’m kind of surprised they haven’t been ejected from the restaurant yet.
Sweetheart looks so serene in the first panel. She really does have no clue.
