    Hey, just as authentic as the one that keeps being shared around as an inspirational poster.

      Even Sweetheart can approve, as long as there are not typos of any kind

        The font must also have proper kerning.

        It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if there was a dog-pilotable mobile fortress waiting in Dr. Bram’s armory.

    What if both wolves have mobile battle fortresses? How about a mobile fortress destrooer? What if a third wolf decided to jump in the fight? Inquiring minds want a simulation program about this.

      I’m pretty sure that’s Besiege

      If there’s a third wolf, then all three have to howl at the moon.

        What if the third wolf is secretly a bear?

    How about “whichever wolf appears as a teenage girl with ears and a tail”…

    So where’s she going to get a mobile battle fortress? Well…

    1. Virginia finds Nick’s brain, but doesn’t have time to reinstall him in his body.
    2. Tip and Tigerlily do the horizontal funk, and Mojo themselves to the hangar, just as Lee arrives with Nick.
    3. Tip is Army, but has never flown an Osprey.
    4. Oddly enough, Tigerlily has flown one. Don’t ask when or where, or we’ll have to kill you.
    5. Much to Nick’s chagrin (and his loud disapproval, if only he had a voice to utter it at the moment), Tigerlily names her newly acquired Mobile Battle Fortress “The Funky Monkey”… No one dares to ask her what she thinks it means. They’re all afraid of the answer – no matter what the answer might be.
    6. They return to Annex One in time to get the others out of the path of the hurricane.
    7. They all live happily ever after (OK, that one might be getting a little ahead of the story).

    What if a bunch of hamsters show up with their mobile battle fortress? Who would win then?

      The cartoonist.

      Also, the readers.

      But their fortress was destroyed, and they don’t have any more money to build a new one.

        True. But they were very bright sentients so I have no doubt that if they exert themselves they can get more money. ^_^

        That’s what Project Kickstarter is for! You KNOW you would chip in.

    The fact that the deus ex machina of this plotline is Tip, our Dorothy stand-in, knocking boots to get home; I guess the Oz references never truly end.

      Actually, am I evil if I suggest that Tip is our *Ozma* stand-in? o_O

        Nope, I thought that was pretty clear.

        Which is a pity, because the Knockin Boots to Get Home would be far too perfect otherwise.

          No reason he can’t still knock his Kate Spades (may she rest in peace) to get home. It was made fairly clear that the Oz character correlations were not exactly one-to-one. A Skin Horse character might correspond to more than one Oz character, and more than one Skin Horse character could relate to a single Oz character. So while Tip is clearly our Ozma stand-in, he is also most clearly Dorothy.

        It was Tigerlily who earlier appeared in the Emerald dress. She is our Ozma to Tip’s Dorothy, both of whom are looking for Marvin Gaye to croon, “Let’s Get it On.” Which is a wrinkle most likely to be found in Baum’s hidden personal diary than in the traditional canon. Not that there’s anything wrong with it!

    I sent this one to a friend into BattleTech.
    Five years of archived comics to explain who the characters are,
    but the wisdom is timeless and fits in any campaign.

      Five years? The Prologue was published on December 30, 2007.

    So which one of the two of them is good and which one is evil?

      If you’re talking about Tip and Tigerlilly, eh, it would depend on the day and the situation. Tigerlily made an army of robots, Tip slept with half the sorority girls in New Orleans. It’s a perspective thing, really.

    So am I the only one assuming the battle fortress is almost done, Tigerlily just can’t finish it right now, and it’s a solution because she converted the entirety of Annex One?
