Well, at least she’s calling Nick a friend, and not just an ongoing project. Small progress, but romances have grown from skimpier roots than that. It’s absurd, I know, but Nick and Ginny bring out the hopeless romantic in me.
Not sure you can get much more hopeless then this, but you could get a buddy cop show out of it: She’s a semi-mad scientist with problems deciding anything, He’s a brain in an attack helicopter. They fight crime!
I would TOTALLY watch that. Other recurring characters could be Sweetheart as the gruff commander who is constantly bawling them out for destroying half a city block on thier last case. Unity could be thier crazy partner they sometimes call in when they need muscle and Tip could be…um…some guy they go to to get tips…? It’s a work in progress.
You know, all it would take to do Sweetheart is a couple of trained performing dogs of the right breed and a good animatronic dog head from Weta Workshop or Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, or even a little clever CGI, plus a good voice actress. I could see Kate Mulgrew voicing Sweetheart, maybe Lucy Liu or Kelly Hu as Dr. Lee, and Michael J. Fox as the voice of Nick, come to think of it.
Then again, if we were to cast “Skin Horse–The Movie”, how about Paula Patton as Unity (she looks a lot like how I picture Unity would look IRL), perhaps Tilda Swinton as Tip, Ian McKellen as the voice of Moustachio, and Dame Judi Densch as the voice of Gavotte, and Zoe Saldana as Tigerlily?
Sergio has probably had just as much to drink, but is still alert and coherent in two languages! Maybe he secretly practices keeping his head by saying Chinese tongue-twisters while hammered on absinthe…
This strip perfectly illustrates all the worst bits about being an android in a room full of humans and tasty booze. If I couldn’t get sloshed on sangria, I’d be cranky too!

Also, I’m sure they can think of inappropriate uses for Nick’s refueling probe…

Why hopeless? We have not indication that Nick’s VR connection has been removed, and the Good doctor is the only person on record to have used it…..
I just hope they find out what the PARK Vi’s plan is in time to decide whether or not to stop it.

Sober Virginia,
On the crazy train …
Needing some sangria to
Numb her brain!
Tipsy Virginia,
Knocking down the booze!
Offer her another,
She won’t re-fuse!
Solve a Jenkinsonian quadratic!
Tease her boss, who’s leaving in a snit!
She’s so tired of being diplomatic!
Oh, park that flit!
Drunken Virginia,
Staggering about!
Heading to the bathroom,
Where she’ll pass out!

I’m puzzled by the wine in Dr. V’s glass in the last panel. Is it trying to escape on its own?
I think some of that is hair.
In Sangria Veritas.

So… do android temptresses get android PMS?
What would the proper term be for that?

Hey, we were all thinking it. I just said it.
I think she’s just normal cranky.
