    So are all the little appliances in there with him sentient as well?

    I gather Monstro’s weakness must be cold?

      Scots are accustomed to cold (and wet) but they don’t have to like it. (or anything)

    Watch out, Nick. You underestimated Cammy Camazotz. Monstro is almost as large.

    That “itty bitty TV” is a CRT, boyo. You should be surprised that the power signals weren’t higher.

      A valid point, And even a CTR that size can still contain more than enough stored charge to “levitate” one clear to the other side of the moon…

      I talked to Bruce

      The signal converter box would be bigger than that TV.

    The clockwork aesthetic is alarmingly familiar…

      Even worse: He’s a sweary helicopter.

        I didn’t realize that until you mentioned it!

    Spring mechanics….. that’s a, er, twist.

    He looks like a halibut. I tiny, cog-driven, angry halibut.

    I’m spring driven, not electronic, and I take offense at that!

      We’re all assuming Monstro is driven by a wind-up sorspr mechanism. But what if that’s an antenna?

        “sorspr”?! I wonder how automangle got that out of “spring”?

    So, is the rotary tail a means of propulsion? A weapon? Both?
    He is so darn cute!

    Things I’m literally prepared to believe about today’s strip (in addition to the Monstro-Baron friendship):
    1. Monstro is powered by neither springs nor electronics, but unfiltered rage.
    2. Nick is a wee tadger.
    3. Somewhere out there, Unity has already re-forgotten that Nick isn’t an aircraft anymore.

    And other random thoughts:

    I’m a little embarrassed at how long it took me yesterday to even consider that Monstro wasn’t the tiny wind-up fish, but rather the TV.

    Also, can we please get a strip where Mistycorn and Monstro go out clubbing together?

      Would the world be able to handle them clubbing? Would any local seals handle it? o_O

    I think I saw Monstro on an episode of “Antiques Roadshow.”

      Her box doesn’t look like something from “Hoarders”; but I don’t watch much television anymore.

    Monstro isn’t the fish. That’s just a red herring.

    Too late kid. You are already eaten. Monstro is the huge crate.

    Your brain probably put it there for you, but the word “are” is missing from the third panel.

      You mean that first word in Nick’s sentence? My brain must be really good, because it sure looks like it’s there.

    No problem Nick.
    Offer him a free drink and he will be your friend for life.

    I had to look up “chanking.” First, it was a guitar-playing technique. Then it was eating food with a great deal of noise. Then it was slang for a certain sexual practice. And *then* it was being cold in Scotland.

      Sounds like quite a night out, all in all.

      Isn’t that kind of the default state of Scotland?

    Can I just say I love the fact that all we can see of Monstro in the last panel is his raised, waving arms?
