    This style of communication seems extremely susceptible to Godot.

      Except that Nick should be immune to it seems his organic brain is not within proximity of the text. As these series of previous strips set the tone for:

        There’s always a chance he might return, sure… but I wouldn’t wait for him.

    It’s not just a sentient corporation, it’s a *sassy* sentient corporation.

    (TUNE: “I Am The Walrus”, The Beatles)

    I’m a plane
    Who is a dame
    Who’s not insane
    Like this whole situation!
     Me that they chose,
     But nobody knows
     Who’s choosing …
     Confusing!

    Little House collapsing …
    WhimsyCorp is wanting help!

    I don’t really care, so
    Go and bother Wilkin,
    He’s the princess wanna-be
    Who wears a petticoat!

     Wilkin’s the weirdo …
     I’m not a weirdo …
     I am a ‘copter!
     chop chop ch’chop chop chop ch’chop

    If it starts humming the Ride of the Valyrkies aria, I’m leaving.

      Game over, man! Filk ’em from orbit! It’s the only way to be sure!

    I still think that The Collected Filks of Skinhorse would be a good book. Yes, a bit of a nitch market, maybe even moreso than Skinhorse proper, but it could be a nice thing. Of course, the accompanying audio DVD would really be nice.

      …the accompanying audio DVD would really be nice.

      My grey matter weeps like a broken hearted child contemplating that kind of apocalyptic licensing nightmare.

        I’d worry less about the copyright aspect of it if I wasn’t already aware that “Addicted to Blood” was lost to just that.

      Niche.

      The word is niche.

      Sorry, I’ve stopped twitching now, I wholeheartedly agree with everything else you said and have no beef with you or anyone else.

      Just the word.

      I am a bad person.

        Not a bad person, if I use the wrong word I should learn better, if you don’t point it out how shall I learn?

    Is it weird that I agree with Nick on that?
    BTW do you have a Tumblr or something?

      Nick does have a WordPress blog, last updated in May (with something Whimsy related)… http://nickzerhakker.wordpress.com/

    i am really wondering if nick is using the “lady body” to daven, and if so if he puts on tefillin &c. or if he was ever that observant before, which he may not have been.

    Why do I see Nick eventually putting on the frills with a scowl on his face and a song in his . . . what do helicopters have in the place of a heart?

    Whimsy needs to appeal to Nick’s inner geek here… “hey, you’ve got a 3-D avatar, why not a costume for it?

    So how exactly is it, whatever “it” is, heading his responses?

      Assuming you meant “hearing”… He’s wired into it. I doesn’t have to hear anything.

        *It doesn’t have to hear anything.

        Forgot to proofread my own comment.
