        Not responsible for injuries sustained while retrieving item from said dogs.

    Given some of the things mad geniuses came back from in this strip’s predecessor, coming back from being eaten by dogs doesn’t seem all that unreasonable, really. But still, pretty sure this is shenanigans here.

      How many times did out MC get revived/killed? There was zombie head, robot body, cloned body, cyber body… honestly we should just be glad he came back with a normal body.

      Oooh, come to think of it, didn’t Doctor Narbon meet a couple of spectacularly gory “deaths”? In this universe, you can probably pick up “Faking Your Death: a Guide for the Insane” at your local library.

        This sounds a titch more like the T-1000 reconstituting itself.

          Yeah, which is really weird and unlikely for someone shown to specialise in external creations…..

      Please, these were genetically engineered attack dogs.

      They would have put a fried egg on top with spring water in a nice bowl on the side.

    tune: “Matchmaker, Matchmaker,” Jerry Bock & Sheldon Harnick, Fiddler on the Roof, 1964

    Gallbladder, gallbladder, I scarfed it down
    It was delish, I went to town
    We shared your body, but first I made sure
    That I got the gallbladder

    You were our Captain, our papa, our dear
    Taught us to kill, taught us to fear
    We honored you in the way we knew best
    By filling your last request

    For Jellybean, arm and elbow
    For Buddy, your whole scalp and hairstyle
    For Sparkle, bones full of marrow
    But I wanted something a-brim with bile

    Gallbladder, gallbladder, how can it be
    There’s nothing else missing from thee
    You were digested, then pooped on the ground
    So tell me my dear
    Why are you here?
    Even the Mad
    Can’t rebuild Dad
    SO HOW ARE YOU STILL AROUND!!!!!?????

    To the tune of “If I Only Had a Brain” (Arlen and Harburg)

    I’d spread mayhem in the summer, be a mad up-and-comer
    and rule the world by fall.
    Why I could make New Zealand,
    a paradise like Cleveland
    If I only had the gall.

    I’d be an aficionado of a deadly avacado
    a great ape in my thrall.
    In my rootbeer I would double,
    the volume of the bubbles
    If I only had the gall.

    I would scoff at the rules of those instituted fools
    and I would show them all.
    I would spend my time a chortlin’,
    midst my sled dogs cavortin’
    If I only had the gall!

      When what they need is your delicious flesh, you’d have to be mad not to!

    Gall bladders are loaded with bile, and bile is very bitter. “Delicious” and “gall bladder” don’t really go together.

        Considering that this is the dog who didn’t get sick of the taste of tequila after having drunken an entire kiddy pool full of it, I don’t doubt that they may have liked it.

    This has got to be a trick. C’mon, you can rebound from being eaten by dogs but not tennis elbow?

    It IS a trick! He is LYING! He has NO tennis elbow!

      Well, I thought maybe it’s a set-up, that they [whoever “they” are] know she’s some spy operating a drone and they’re trying to crack her to learn more. But from the “less hairy” line, I’m not so sure.

    Whoever or whatever he is, this whole place is part of Goldbug’s overall scheme, designed as another cure: by treating the mad scientist to spas, nice dinners, old friends, etc, it’ll change them. Don’t know what effect it’ll have on the relatively sane Sweetheart.

    I have a wild-assed guess; Goldbug is playing an artificial reality just for Sweetheart, having intercepted the signal between Sweetheart and the drone.

    This keeps Sweetheart (and by extension the rest of the crew) busy, and meanwhile Goldbug can make all the mischief he/she/they/it wants to using the drone inside the institute.

    So all this is about as real as Nick’s apartment full of take-out food and badass video gear was.

      Bear, I was having thoughts along those lines myself. There are still lots of other things that could be going on, but yeah, this smells fairly fishy.
