The Cypress is just the hostess. The various zombie creatures were once a part of her collective mind, but they have become fragmented, and are now operating independently. The Cypress is happy to allow it to go on, since it’s just A-Sig creeps that they are killing.
Once she actually realizes that Tip is part of this new team, she’ll ask for his assistance in restoring her to her former glory.
It is somewhat reminiscent of Castle Heterodyne when Agatha and the gang arrived.
We just heard that someone else who wants to be “leader” can stage a coup. It’s entirely possible that enough or all of them chose to try and “coup,” resulting in this chaos.
The rear isn’t locked out. The door re-opened in the third panel. Depending on his zombie abilities, the bear might be able to simply pull himself together.
Miss Eris, I am disappointed in you. I had expected you to live up to the traditions and standards established by Mell Kelly, Unity and Bangladesh Dupree! ~_~
Intriguing hypothesis. Let’s attempt to falsify it, shall we? If the evidence elevates it to Theory, you may be in the running for a coveted Ignobel Prize. Or, depending how close you stand, possibly a Darwin Award.
New whack theory time…

I could buy into this.
This makes a lot of sense, except how and why did she fragment?

Why would cutting a zombie bear in two stop it from attacking? They’ll be attacked front and rear now.
Kinda depends on how many hit points it has. I’d say that razor door does at least 10D6 of damage when it connects like that. ^_^
Well, the rear is locked outside, and no longer has benefits of any sensory organs, so they could probably avoid that half.

But she is! Lt. Eris is delaying the bear while Tip dashes to safety…
Mell, Unity, and Bang are all homicidal maniacs.
Lieutenant Eris is merely Mad.
They’re also much better at killing things than she is.

If only you’d laughed, Awgie. Assuming you’re affiliated with an institute of some sort, I’d have had a proper arch-nemesis. So close.
Oh, but I did laugh. You just didn’t hear me. Would it help if I put it in writing?
Heh, heh, heh.
Another one of these things that end half-way.(sigh) Really…..this is hard to bear.
Zing! 🙂
This arc has definitely kicked up the violence a notch.
he chonk.
Gotta hand it to Peirson – credit where it’s due! I’m just hoping the Cypress can’t subvert his Eyeball Razor Chimps!
The Cypress probably has better taste than that.
Now that the monster’s belly is open, will someone happily put out the persons he ate, the patch him up with a few dozen rocks in the stomach?
The only one who could stitch them together was the first one the zombie bear ate.
Tip is pretty handy with a needle and thread.
Do these razor doors remind anyone else of the first Prince of Persia game?
Poor zombie bear. I was hoping for a better outcome for it…
Once again they turn their back on something apparently dead/unconscious.
Old habits – unlike team members – die hard.
“And not the cool kind, where you actually build a pyramid and use it to harness Mysterious Energies and sharpen your razor doors!”
