    I told you that idea was on the table.

      Oh no, the library DEFINITELY doesn’t allow nude men on the tables.

    I wonder how Tip would react if Artie asked him for a makeover?

      We would hear his squee from our computer speakers, it would penatrate the fourth wall

    Can’t make any sense of Cinnamon’s last statement. What’s the joke?
    Explain, please? (And use small words and pictures.)

      The clothes Cinnamon is wearing—Goodwill rejects from a dumpster behind the store.

        It might also be a comment on the fickleness of California sports fans (those are the colors of the San Jose Sharks hockey team).

        Yes, she’s saying that Goodwill threw them in the dumpster.

          No, that the donors threw them in the dumpster when Goodwill rejected them.

            Whichever.

            Depending on how many items there are in a donation, Goodwill might accept/reject individual pieces while the donor is present or might take them all and then sort through them and throw out the unsalable ones later. (Source: experience donating stuff and anecdata from a friend who works at Goodwill).

      Most North Am. dumpsters stand 4 foot tall (or higher.) To reach items inside the dumpster, people will balance themselves by their waist on the edge. A passerby will see the waist to the feet sticking out of the Dumpster. A view similar to someone diving into a Pool of Water. Thus the term Dumpster Diving.

      Cinnamon is either missing or deliberately ignoring the subtext by which Artie is trying to avoid talking about why he refuses to appear in human form in front of Sergio.

        Or Cinnamon is implying that wearing those clothes would be sufficient to kill any subtext that may arise.

    I think it is safe to say that Artie is a lover and not a fighter, Cinnamon.

      He was a pacifist in Narbonic, but his position may have—evolved after a decade and change out in the world.

    The smarter they are, the better they are at rationalizing what they already want.

      And the older you are the more like yourself you become. This is a truism I picked up from reading Agatha Christie.

    Haven’t we already seen Artie transform from “naked” gerbil to fully clothed human before? Although, I suppose he may be able to choose his, um… “preferred” form. 😉

      I believe that was Mirror!Artie, so maybe our Artie just didn’t get there quite yet.

        Does Our Sergio know for sure that Our Artie has a human form? He’s been a gerbil the whole length of their brief acquaintance…

    Tomorrow’s strip: Artie wearing cast-off attire from the sewer worker eaten by the swamp monster in an earlier adventure.

      Pretty sure most of that has been digested by now. If not by the swamp, then by whatever else is in the sewer system.

      I was under the impression that they ended up in San Jose. If so, they’re a long way from the Colma sewers. If they’d have gotten on a different train, they could have gone right into Colma.

    Artie has a point though – reality blindness might not cover surprise nude man in a library even if he were to get quickly clothed – it might be just barely not weird enough to trigger it. Especially if any of the humans present are of the All Men Are Perverts philosophy, or have seen streakers before.

      Based on what my librarian friends have told me, the sudden appearance of a naked man in the library is too common an occurrence to trigger the reality blindness.
