        Wow. That would be…wow. Just Shaenon and Jeff playing the longest game imaginable.

          You say that as if it weren’t the most likely possibility here.

            Even though you’re absolutely right I will still recognize the presence of pure greatness.

      Drinking contest with heads of state. It’s how politics is done.

        I thought that was a pissing contest,
        or was that just a SNL skit?

            Gotta drink before you can piss. It really is common sense.

    I should’ve known, Tip is a fanatic
    (Repeat: “A fanatic is one who redoubles his effort when he has forgotten his aim.” — George Santayana)

    That mind control device isn’t getting turned off anytime soon

      I think Tip is pretty clear what his aim is here. And I see no reason not to think the mind-control device may get turned off in the process.

    Tip may we’ll be in a position to simply order Mr. Green to stand down.

    He’s been looking for a way to join forces with Tigerlily for a long time.

      Join forces with? Well, if that’s what you call it…

      Ordering Mr. Green to stand down won’t do any good at this point. He’s too focused on his goal. Tip could, however, order everyone else to stand down, and to arrest Mr. Green while they’re about it.

    I guess Sweetheart is okay with people succeeding by silly means when there’s an org chart involved.

      Especially if it works to her own benefit.

    I’ll be sorry to see Project Skin-Horse end as a daily webcomic: I’m sure it’ll live in my fond memories, like Narbonic does.

      Was there an announcement of a specific date that I missed?

        Not that I know of. After a suitable rest, I’m hoping she does Eydie, who appears to be a far-future Davenport. Perhaps she can do an alternate-history (like Marvel!) version of ideas she’s had to drop- like the Duplicating Ray Narbonic segments. Squeeze value out of all that work, then sell the thumbnails and art to us!

          All I saw was the “it’s coming to an end soon” notices—which gave me no end of upset—and with other events, I thought the end would come sometime in the upcoming new year. My timing may be off. I thought I’d missed a post or an e-mail.

          I was hoping for more “Willowweep” stories—think it might make a great animated movie and TV series spinoff.

            I agree!

          Can we all pretend I didn’t spell Edie correctly, then “correct” it to Eydie?

            Don’t worry. I’m upset I didn’t capitalize “Tip” in the message below.

            That’s OK, you wrote Heidi perfectly fine for my brain.

    Is tip on the Anasigma executive jet? Is the pilot as skilled or as surly as Nick?

      No one is as skilled or as surly as Nick.

        Baron M. has the surly down, but don’t know if he can fly a plane, at least outside VR WhimseyWorld…

    Tip’s so high up now that he’s dizzy. The org chart has gotten too busy. But this red tape transgressor has picked a successor, and sent Sweetheart into a tizzy.

    In some ways Tip’s somehow wrangling promotions at a rate of multiple jobs per hour is more ridiculous than much of the mad science. Perhaps it’s an unexpected bonus from his mojo-powers: rather than the scene suddenly cutting to him with a couple hot women in a hot tub, it cuts to his next corporate triumph.

    Some bug in the system—and this has happened before—wouldn’t let me post a reply to Pseudowolf in his reply to my comment above.

    In any case, I lifted the quote (more or less) from Sally Brown.
