To me, the most startling thing is Niue’s comment in panel one. Wasn’t she just someone birdbrain who screams at hats? (I don’t remember much from her last appearance)
Niue’s thing is that she’s a perfectly reasonable conversationalist until something sets her off. Tip had a discussion with her about the transgenic movement for about a week’s worth of strips, right up until he put on a hat.
If you’re ever around a parrot or other intelligent bird for any length of time, you’ll recognize the behavior; they can be stunningly bright, logical and clever… right up until they decide to spend the afternoon utterly destroying their Arch-Nemisis, the monster that everyone else calls “the couch.”
She and everyone else in the room (except the Sweetheart drone) make up the council of the Transgenic League. So it’s reasonable to assume that they are somewhat intelligent, even if they’re not so good at communicating in English, like Lim-Lim. Although I must admit, Lim-Lim also seems to be sorely lacking in the intelligence department. His vocabulary is about the same as Rhodey’s, but Rhodey seemed to be a lot smarter.
In Sweetheart’s defense, I’ve done the same thing. Admittedly, this was after staying up until 3 a.m. the night before and before I could get any caffeine to compensate, but a drone shut-down is relatively similar, right?
Somebody really likes donuts.
That’s a very Garfield kind of move.
Mmmmm…Doughnuts…
Apparently the time limit is still in effect.
Yep. Answers my question from yesterday.
Dolphin is just cranky because s/he has to poop in that same tank.
He. His name’s Mr Squeakers.
And his swear filter is worse than Nick’s.
Apparently Niue and cellphones have reached a detente.
Must be another one of her hairpin mood swings. Or maybe she only hates them if they’re taking someone else’s attention.

“Anything you can do, I can do better, I can do anything better than you.”
“No you can’t!”
“Yes I can, yes I can, yes I can!”

It’s exactly the same, I’m certain. No way is Sweetheart getting any caffeine in that body.
If I had my choice of face-plants this one would be right up there.
This sure brings back memories.
Is it just me, or has the Transgenic League outstayed its welcome? I was quite enjoying this arc till it showed up, but now I’m just not feeling it.
Actually, Sweetheart’s message is one I would expect from a cat more then I would from a dog. @_@
