    “I’ll have a Harvey Wallbanger, Harvey.”

    I can’t believe I’m saying this, but it’s good to see that Tip seems to have stopped using his brain.

    Well yeah, but just because he knows how doesn’t mean he will

    Wait. Tip asked for wallbangers from someone who is very likely to interpret that as meaning to literally bang on walls?

      Like I said, he seems to have stopped using his brain. Now he’s letting Little Tippi do the thinking, and Little Tippi only thinks of one thing.

        Actually, it’s quite possible that Tip has begat as many as a hundred little Tippis by this time. I certainly would be surprised if the number was as low as zero. Which makes me wonder how much of his ability is likely to be passed on to the next generation. (Tip = Mega Playboy in terms of influencing the gene pool?). >_>

          I don’t know, I Tip strikes me as someone who is big on consent, and I don’t think he would put a woman in that position. I think his birth control would be airtight.

            Tbh it’s not unreasonable that he got a vasectomy at some point, since it’s the safest route.

            I wouldn’t be surprised if he got a vasectomy and keeps condoms wherever he keeps Alice. He can’t depend on the lady to be on BCs and a condom isn’t 100% effective….plus who knows if stds are a thing. Or if his mojo makes all that unnecessary, it’s pretty powerful to control panel jumpcuts. I think I’m overthinking this.

            There’s literally a whole storyline about him catching a STD… though I guess he could have caught lycanthropy from love bites or saliva, but I thought it was heavily implied?

          • awgiedawgie
            December 4, 2018, 2:45 am | #

            @Jay, that storyline had nothing to do with STDs. It was made pretty clear that he got lycanthropy from being bitten by a werewolf. He only said that having sex with a werewolf had probably been a bad idea.

      In fairness, he seems to have made it clear that he wants items rather than actions. Hitty smart enough to understand about nouns and verbs. ^_~

        I’d be more concerned with how Hitty could pick up and carry three small fragile items. Never mind mixing the drinks!

          The drinks will be shaken (along with the bar), not stirred. It’ll give it a James Bond feel and Tigerlily can rebuild the bar later.

    And yet, in light of what both Jonah and Tigerlily have told him it is the case that Tip is actually doing the *responsible* thing. So in this instance poor Tip is being wronged by Marcie and Sweetheart alike! ^o^

      It’s a 70’s thing.

        In the seventies we thought of it as a fifties thing. But nostalgia was very big in the seventies, too.

        Wasn’t “Spanish Fly” a 10’s thing, too?

    Finally. People ‘discussing’ WHETHER is nearly the most boring thing in the currently known Universe, with the exception of the densest presidensity

        I blame the school system.
        If Rhetoric and Civics where still part of the curriculum, neither candidate would have seen the light of day.

    Hey, Tip. I heard not all women’s outfits have to project assertiveness and confidence.

    Also, my condolences to the relatives of the agents whose minor technical problems led to the delay in releasing today’s comic.

    Since the authors have been otherwise busy, I might as well provide an update on everyone’s favorite star crossed lover, Panopticon, who prefers to be called Kate in less formal settings, or Panopticon in still less formal settings —

    When Panopticon read Jonah’s mind, her hopes collapsed as she read his premonitions of a future separate from hers. But he also had a premonition of her future — she could only assume it was due to her own telepathic influence, since he did not normally experience premonitions of events of so little importance to him. It confirmed as antiseptic objective reality what she already knew emotionally. She was not getting over this. Ever. It was a level of despair only attainable through supernatural means.

    She supposed harvesting walnuts forever was a kindness of sorts, because she would have done worse for herself if given the chance. It kept her alive. But that was also why it was no real favor. It kept her alive.

    There was just one unanswered question she could still care about. Did it have to end that way? She thought she knew. Sometimes people are unlucky and they die. Sometimes people are unlucky and it breaks their minds. The single ones just happened to be lunkheads and the interesting ones just happened to have half-mad scientist or hacker girlfriends. The love that made her miserable could have made her happy. It just didn’t turn out that way.

    She’s first, she’s last, she’s everything,
    He’s advancement to all her schemes.
    Galliano, vodka, and orange juice
    Make up a cocktail that will produce.

    He knows they have to, have to make it through.
    He was told by Jonah Yu.
    They need to hug it tight.
    Their lust will keep it up all night
    First, she’s the last, his everything.

    And with two as one it could only mean
    A funk so grooved and some new machines.
    Can’t they see it through?
    She makes him feel okay.
    (Can’t they see it through?)
    They’re like a fine funky brew in a brand new way.

    We see so many times that they
    Could make it till they die that day.
    They’ll bend reality, to get lost in her scheme.
    They’re the first, the last, their everything.

    He knows they have to, have to make it through.
    He was told by Jonah Yu.
    They’ve bent reality, and they’re trapped in her scheme,
    And they’re first, they’re the last, they’re everything.

    —from “You’re My First, My Last, My Everything,” Barry White.

    Why would Sweetheart think that her Galliano was there at Annex One, rather than back in her new office at the Maragda Building? It’s no doubt at risk of confiscation by Englebright, but that’s a different point.

      Sweetheart might have been prepared to entertain many different tastes in her office, but I’m more concerned that she won’t have Barry White available: Maybe Sweetheart would prefer Melissa Etheridge, but don’t know Tigerlily’s fave.

      Different office, different stash of alcohol. Some things are important enough to leave multiple caches around.

        Skin Horse left the Annex One offices. The place was abandoned, then commandeered by Dr. Jones. Why would Sweetheart leave a cache of anything there, to be pilfered by silverfish?

          In case she comes back, or she’s in the neighborhood and nowhere near a bar, or . . . you can fill in the list yourself.

      Or was Sweetheart thinking that Hitty would roll back to the Maragda building during a hurricane just to raid her liquor stash there, and bring it back, again during a hurricane?

      See, I’m pretty sure there is a liquor stash at Annex One — it’s just Tigerlily’s, and always has been.

    Well, casimir picked Barry White and I chose Al Green, so casimir wins this round…

      The way things are going, Al Green and some cold duck are going to be added to Hitty’s list.

    By the way…is that a Star Trek shirt Marcie is wearing?

      Red shirts get knocked off in that universe, so I doubt it.

        Red shirts haven’t been endangered in Star Trek for a long time.

        Actually, aside from being a darker colour, it does quite resemble the uniforms worn in Star Trek Beyond.
