(TUNE: “The Sound Of Music”, Rodgers & Hammerstein)
The silliness thrives
With unfounded musing …
Prepare for your war,
But it will not come!
A message arrives,
They won’t catch you snoozing!
Your war may be real,
But it’s still … quite dumb!
So Unity
Says that she fought
With the beavers! “I got
Your dam per-mit right here!”
But facts scientific are also terrific!
The data is clear!
Tigerlily is back, and prepared to attack
With an army of junk!
In-tel-li-gence says
That they’re not heavy metal, they’re funk!
Attackers approach, and it”s getting scary!
The robots will come, they’re prepared to kill!
All right, so your war’s not imaginary …
But it’s silly, still!
Could it be that the good (more or less sane) doctor is slipping into the world of funk and jive? Where she says, “… and you prepped for..” might/should be “…and you are prepped for” OR (more ominously) it might be slipping into “.. and you BE prepped for…” Why was she there in the first place? Oh yes, sub-plots abound!
I believe you guys are slightly misinterpreting Tigerlily’s earlier expletive…
It’s likely that she was either calling for her robots and someone named Tequila, or still more likely, she was demanding that her robot minions bring her Tequila for the purpose of seducing “The Secret of the Unerring Paper Plane” from a liquored-up lieutenant Notary.
I don’t believe she was calling for Tequila Robots or Tequila-powered Robots because that would be like, you know… Bender.
I’m sure many of you are already hip to this groove and I’m not sayin’ anything… but… just sayin.’

Sorry, guys. Had to fix the strip and repost, which got rid of the comments.
tune” Black and White,” Three Dog Night
The left is black
It once was white
The white left side now
Is on the right
On hoodie, herds
That look like birds
And Unity’s back
From tests absurd
From tests absurd
She’s just in time
What’s that? Oh, crud!
Approaching footfalls of robots thud
In funky duds
The war’s begun
Will soon be won
But who will prevail
When girl meets gun?
What Doctor Lee
Has made, you see,
A one-woman
Military spree
Called Unity!
[cue the happy voices of children here]
Whoops! Wish I could strip and repost, because I messed up the first verse. It should be:
The left was black
It now is white
The white side now
Is on the right
Aaaaarrrrrgggghhhh!!! Of course, I mean:
The left was black
It now is white
The black side now
Is on the right
Don’t tell me if I’ve gotten it wrong again. I’m just going to crawl under the covers and call it a night.
Awww, dude. Now I can’t shake this funk.

cookie? cookie.
Why am I not surprised in the slightest the head Notary’s referred to as “Your Exactness” ?
Meanwhile, the beaver dam permits might be a reference to a real-world incident:

I don’t think anything’s missing there. “Prepped” is a past tense verb paralleling “collected”.
“And they have Tequila Robots!”
“I so tote need to contact Tip…”
The world is chipping away at Dr. Lee’s barriers….
Can’t I wear… funky duds?
Sorry, that’s all I got…

“Robots! It is time to bring in the funkitude!”
“Bite me.”
Or, more accurately, “Bite my shiny metal jive-talkin’ ass.”
Oh my, I just said that on my best Bender voice -you know, clenching my teeth- and ¡wahahaha!
Groovy.
Silly sounds about right. I wonder when Dr. Lee will go mad?
Did you repost the strip because of the coloring change that Kay wrote about? Her hair is still the other way on gocomics.
The coloring’s the same on the main site, too. Before Shaenon reposted, 2 or 3 people had commented on the color change. I hadn’t even noticed.
