You joke, but this is Tigerlily we’re talking about. She’s going to need a wide tunnel to drive the caddy she’s building out of tin cans and scraps from the machine shop. Rocket red and so fine . . . possibly sentient, definitely armed.
Skin Horse was a team of government employees,
Working there in Annex One …
Now they have new jobs, it really does annoy these
People, and it isn’t fun!
Get back! Get back!
Get back to where we’re meant to be!
Get back! Get back!
Get back to Annex Two (or Three)!
Tip is now a chicken-crossing-road inspector!
Nick is helping refugees!
Bubbles runs a bureau, Deputy Director!
Unity is making cheese!
Get back! Get back!
Get back to where we’re meant to be!
Get back! Get back,
To working inefficiently! (Work it, Sweetheart!)
Prison has the Cure for science-mad-reversal!
Tigerlily wants no part!
Now she’s gonna try to tunnel out of her cell …
(Needs a bigger spoon, to start).
Get back! Get back!
Get back to where she’s meant to be!
Get back! Get back!
Will Tigerlily soon be free?
Given the obviousness of today’s filk selection, is it possible that, in a sub-rosa fashion, Jeff is writing dialog to see if he can, in fact, prompt Ed to work with specific songs?
I’m personally surprised that Tigerlily ended up in a cell with a dirt floor. Somebody wasn’t thinking.
& do I see that blonde with her as potentially taking Bubble’s place in the firm?
I think Helen made a voice-only cameo, when talking to the bird who thought he was a human. The bird was interviewing for an insane animal sidekick role, at the end of “If I Ran The Zoo,” IIRC.
What’s even more impressive is that she still has a spoon after digging that much concrete.
We need Dr. Lee to reverse engineer this ASAP.
The savings in diamond cutting tools alone would be ginormous.
Nonono. A truly swell escape tunnel includes a fully lit four-lane motorway. You could learn a lot from Dr. Flammond…

Makes me think today’s filk will be of a Beatles song. “Get back to where I once belonged”
I suppose a song about dope-smoking transvestites *is* appropriate here.
Bronson she ain’t.
Maybe Tim Robbins?
Mad science takes on the Spoon Theory!
Putting The Band Back Together!
Not quite there yet, but approaching.
Robert, you called it …
(TUNE: “Get Back”, The Beatles)

Panels 2-3 look like they’re trying to turn into The Musical Episode. Tip’s totally singing to that chicken.
This is beautiful. One of those strips where one realizes that they have a legitimate emotional attachment to the characters.
*Sob* It makes me so happy 🙂
This song that came to mind when I read this strip was “Do You Want to Build a Snowman” from Frozen.
Do you want to dig a tunnel?
Do you have a bigger spoon?
(Starting filks is easy. Finishing the band things is what I can never manage…)
Mission control… we are approaching synchronicity!
Given the obviousness of today’s filk selection, is it possible that, in a sub-rosa fashion, Jeff is writing dialog to see if he can, in fact, prompt Ed to work with specific songs?
If I was writing a webcomic, and Ed was commenting on it, I’d do that all the time.

It wasn’t dirt until she used the earthquake device she made out of forks on it.
Poor Bubbles isn’t feeling the Joy right now 🙁
The blonde is, IIRC, a mad scientist, and may not work well in such environments… BTW aside from Artie, have any of the Narbonics made any cameos?
I think Helen made a voice-only cameo, when talking to the bird who thought he was a human. The bird was interviewing for an insane animal sidekick role, at the end of “If I Ran The Zoo,” IIRC.
Just checked, Bruce of Human/Cyborg relations mentioned “the boss” and “the boss’ wife.” Neither Dave nor Helen made any appearance.
It’s more impressive when you realize that she’s been using spoons to take scoops out of concrete. “I did it with leverage and terrifying groove.”
What’s even more impressive is that she still has a spoon after digging that much concrete.
We need Dr. Lee to reverse engineer this ASAP.

The Tick would be so proud.
She should trade spoons with the guy from “Rejected”… “My spoon is too big!”
Girls, admit it! You clearly are going to have to go back and assist your friend with her Conestoga Wagon of Power. =^_^=
@Pygar: The blonde Mad is, in fact, Imogene Frog.
