    A re-purposed clown car, built by a mad clown scientist, captured by A-Sig, analyzed, then sold off at a government auction to be bought by Dr. Lee. It’s bigger on the inside than on the outside. It has to be. It’s the only way that last panel makes sense.

      Lee is of course trying to squeeze Hitty into the glove compartment, which is where the fifth elephant usually goes if you only have a small car. The car looks a bit like a Citroen 2CV so yes, it’s a clown car, and you could probably get the roof off with a tin-opener.

        What do you mean? It’s the same one she’s been wearing since the beginning of the series.

          Esoteric geek reference.

          Look up “Principia Discordia” online – the book is copyright reversed. Also perhaps acquire and read “The Illuminatus Trilogy” by Robert Anton Wilson.

        Just for a second I’d like to see your view of this comic. 😛

    From “Rapid Roy,” Jim Croce.

    Oh, Doctor Lee, we all can see,
    She’s too much to conceive.
    You know she’s always been a hottie Anasigma girl,
    She shows that she’s naïve.
    She’s made a zombie out of limbs and organs,
    And a copter with a human brain.
    But she’s stuffing robot fighters in a compact Chevy
    Just to help them get away

    Oh, Doctor Lee, we all can see,
    She’s the hottest scientist around.
    She’s got her own dismemberanium
    Somewhere up Pennsylvania bound.
    Oh, genetic twisting,
    And the techno-scare,
    Are easy for a girl with spunk.
    But she’s running from the man up in Pennsylvania
    With two robots in her trunk.

    [chorus]

    Yeah, Lee’s so hot, she hits the spot.
    She don’t get that she’s insane.
    She’ll do mad science murder, smiling at the victims,
    And it won’t be any strain.
    She’s got a boy in Nick, but she’s really thick,
    She doesn’t see him in the same old way.
    Now she’s smuggling up a bulky battle robot combo
    In a compact Chevrolet.

    [chorus]

      Actually her car could be anything but I needed “Chevrolet” for the parody.

    Apropos of nothing: In the name of inclusivity, “Lurch For The Cure” should expand their mission to support the Philisophical Zombies’ Awareness Campaign. They’re a new group, so far they’re just doing consciousness-raising.

    Is…
    um, actually I’ve forgotten who the guy with the cobra is…
    is he deliberately trying to trigger an irony cut to make his job easier?

      I hope he isn’t a clue that they’re in VR – Mr. Green has many disguises if that’s the case. I don’t remember him either.

      I’ve seen him around several times. He works for one of the other agencies in the Annex, although I can’t remember which. The cobras always seem to be very fond of him. I think his job might have something to do with the Basement Dwellers.

        He’s one of the maintenance guys. That’s how he’s connected with the Basement Dwellers.

    Nick’s swear filter popped out a substitute word that actually fits the conversation, I see…

      I’m having hard time coming up with a swear that fits the conversation.

    Someone really has to explain the definition of “covertly” to Ginny Lee.

    Genius in one area doesn’t always translate to genius in every area. Hoo boy.

      My extensive observations indicate that is invariably translates to anti-genius in at least one other area.

    This reminds me of the Gerboise Verte incident, in which the fate of the French republic depended on a scientist of dubious sanity smuggling a prototype atom bomb across the Algerian desert in the trunk of his Citroen 2CV. This actually happened.

    TL,DR version: France’s initial nuclear tests were interrupted by the 1961 Algerian coup attempt, with the mutinous generals controlling the area around the test site. It was decided to expedite the tests and so expend the last working French A-bomb before the generals could get any funny ideas. And since the obvious funny idea would have been to seize the bomb on its way to the test site, the site director played a shell game with an empty convoy and an overloaded Citroen.

    Peter Sellers and Blake Edwards are alas no longer with us, but we’ve still got Mel Brooks to direct the movie version. Or possibly the Cohen brothers.

    Um, when and how did nick recover the drone body?

      Didn’t notice it before; thanks for pointing it out. I figure Sweetheart-drone walked out on the drone’s own two legs; didn’t Mr. Green say she was free to go?

      At least they can return the drone to Bubbles…

    Where did Hitty get one of M’s tiny arms?

      She always had a little arm on the other side from the one with the mallet.

    Oh my, Ginny is just adorable trying to hide a robot in her car that is larger than the car.
