Now that you mention timelines… This arties is before or after his studies on violent tendencies at early ages? (which is loosely related on how old his stepsister is now, if the timelines in my head are right)
Has to be before. (Well, there was a time machine involved, so I guess it doesn’t have to be, but most likely.) Even if Rosalind were conceived while Artie was raiding the Lost Diamond Mines of Brazil, she’d only be seven or so now, and while it’s hard to judge ages in Shaenon’s art style, she was certainly older than that. Early to mid teens, I’d guess, which would put her present in the 2020s sometime, probably.
Wow. Tip really IS the bimbo in this crowd. Darnit Tip, you have so much more in you than that even without counting Artie!
Like, for example, lulling the two free agents of ambiguous loyalty into complacency around him so he can spy on them properly? I can only hope…
It must be annoying to be really smart but sane in a world of mad scientists: you’re talking to someone about the latest work in protein synthesis, when they chime in with “and of course, that’s how we’ll destroy St. Louis!” and you suddenly realize you didn’t understand the conversation _at all_.
I was going through the go comics archive because I was going to point people at Nick’s first appearance and noticed that the comic at http://www.gocomics.com/skinhorse/2008/11/05 was out of sequence. I would have posted there but I did not know if a comment on such an old page would get noticed by our benevolent creators.
…I do not feel that Tip really lives up to his potential, sometimes.
Most of it has sadly been wasted on military training and high fashion knowledge.
….well, “sadly” depending on who you ask.
Artie: “I find her intellect most compelling.”
Tip: “ALSO SHE GOTS BEWBS”
Intellect and bewbs in one package? It don’t get much better than that.
Don’t tell me . . . Artie’s going to marry Sergio?
I’ve sort of been assuming this since Little Mel.
Same here.
That’s if Sergio doesn’t mess up the timelines too much.

“Know what happens to a super-intelligent man-gerbil when it gets struck by a falling V-22 Osprey?”
“The same as everything else.” :p

Life is messy. Bring a sponge.
“Not utterly mad”? Dream on, Artie.
Dammit Tip, you’re supposed to be a psychologist.
Nick is totally eavesdropping… and laughing.

She’s genius … such genius …
Miss Virginia Lee,
You’re almost as intelligent as me!
Remarkable, I’m oh so very glad
You’re not completely mad!
Doctor Lee, your wit,
Enraptures me, and more than just a bit!
I marvel at the intellect you’ve got …
Also, you’re smoking hot!
Genius!
Smarter than Einstein or Jung!
Praises we all have sung
Of your amazing tongue!
Doctor Tip, I’ll state,
The ways that you can also stimulate!
In sexiness, there’s Ginny, you, and I,
Caught in a three-way tie!

what lovely innuendo
Not *utterly* mad. That doesn’t mean she’s *completely* sane, mind you….
Of course, she still doesn’t want to go among mad people.
–Dave, they’re nothing but a pack of cards! bwa ha ha haaaaa!
That can be said, within certain margin, that sanity as mental state can be defined as lack of intellect.
And yes, perhaps the same could be said of all religions…

Noted. Thanks for the catch!
Wait a minute… Dr. Lee knows the “swirly-go-round?” (http://www.ma3comic.com/strips-ma3/swirly-go-round) SQEEEE!!! Nyaa, now I’m so totally shipping her and Zii from Menage a 3! {passing out}
Learning different things from different partners? Oh Em Gee, that’s possibly the single best thing I love about being me.
