    I hope those are chocolate-covered!

      Chocolate-covered pretzels? Pure evil!

        That’s an odd was of spelling “deliciousness”.

        Although, some people don’t like chocolate, so there’s that I guess. Yogurt pretzels for you, then?

          As long as they’re not carob-covered.

          I like chocolate and pretzels. Just not together. Yogurt-covered pretzels can be good, though.

      It’s funny to imagine that they’re not chocolate covered, they’re just really overdone because Ira left them in the oven too long, but he’s such a hapless cook/baker that he’s still proud of them anyway for being even just halfway edible.

        Used to think “pretzels” were those hard stick things in boxes from the supermarket. Then in my teens I discovered soft pretzels—which were great—though I rarely see them these days.

          Ira is an elderly WASP, to him “pretzels” means hard pretzels. The dark brown color means that’s what they are.

            I think Ira might be Jewish. It’s not like Nick (who makes a point of it) and ethnic names can be so darn misleading, so I won’t go any further than “might be.”

    Is Ira like David Xantos teacher or something?

      Perhaps he is related to Xellos the Trickster Priest. ^_^

    So…..did Ira fake the feed? Did he hack the giant robot? Is he seeing through Unity’s eyes? I don’t get it.

      Based on January 8’s comic, the answer might be right under Tigerlilly’s nose
      http://skin-horse.com/comic/and-handed/

      Mind you, I suppose Anasigma might have managed to repair the Gate, after the events of “Looking Glass Land”. Ira *did* know that Chris was going to face a dragon, in “Purple Waves”

        The Department of Temporal Anomalies was involved in that one, though. He probably got a spoiler through them.

      The answer is that wherever the feed comes from, it’s a threat they failed to account for. (Except Tigerlily, who directly addressed it, but didn’t care.) And we’re about to find out.

      I assumed he was just watching Tigerlily’s livestream.

    I think this is realization that Ira’s been watching their plans this whole time. Not just “you’re too late” but “I knew before you started.”

    Look for the guys with the camera.

      Nah, too obvious. It’s would have planted them there to take attention from the real camera elswhere.

    So, probably Nick right? He was already inside him for like, ages after all.

    Though given he’s been in contact with every single person on the battlefield, there could be a bug literally anywhere.

    I thught Tigerlilly was livestreaming it?

    Tip saw the whole thing on live feed. Defeated H. T.’s mind-hive breed. But Ira won’t fret well and offers some pretzels. Is this some turkey jive deed

    I see everyone has already forgotten about the camouflage armor that Ginny invented and we saw in “Green Noah”? It’s much more likely that there’s an invisible army hanging out right next to them than any sort of hacked live-feed.

      Not to mention, the live feed starter
      d before Tigerlily came and Ira was baffled by her appearance, so I have no idea why people think it was hers.

      Ooh, good point Aardvarker! I’d love to see that!

      Especially if everyone on Team Annex One shares Nick’s electokinetic abilities…

        They all do—since they shared Unity’s goop and became one.

      Oh, yeah. There was also the invisible paint job that Nick got at St. Charlie…plus a couple invisible bicycles.

    Nick is the one most conspicuously absent from all the live feed images, and would account for the live feed shot from overhead the building and MegaHT (mental switch to his helicopter form providing air cover).

      TBH, the only frame that we can officially say was the live feed vs our (comic viewers) PoV is the one frame that said “Live Feed” on it.

      Nick and Dr. Lee were last seen with their wedding planner.

    I think Nick and Lee were in the third panel Jan 2nd, left side.

    Could Dr. Jones have been a double agent for Ira? She did know where the feed was, and Tip would be P.O.ed when he found out.

    • Robert Nowall

      Yeah, that. That was their last appearance…most *recent* appearance, that is. I’m sure they’ll be back before the end.

        If Dr. Jones was the double agent, she could have implanted the feed into Nick when she built his new body, and, it explains why Ira would be suprised by her attack on H.T.

      Tigerlily would never kowtow to The Man!

    Or maybe it’s the reality blindness in effect.?

    Ira loves it when Tip appreciates another layer in his onion of nefariousness.

      “Onion of nefariousness.” What a great metaphor!
