Nick2 would only be killing plants… Nick Prime used to trim trees… True zombies are already dead…
Who used to do that routine about a headmaster beating one of his students to death, then writing him up for his nonparticipitory attitude? This’s the best place I know to ask…
Assuming it wasn’t a virtual reality trick, the head of Anasig revealed that he was Goldbug when Sweetheart tried to go undercover while “driving” the princess-drone.
Cool. For all the kid lit and nerdie sci-fi cultural references that are de rigeur for skin horse, I wondered if my alternative alt and indie nerdie social cultural references would be completely disjoint.
The V-22 Osprey, on which the Whirligig is loosely based, is equipped with a machine gun as well as a turret gun. I like to think that the Whirligig’s designers followed through with the original V-22 plan to have a Gatling gun mounted on the nosecone, because how cool is that?
Hey, on a different subject, I just went back and read the last 10 or 15 strips. And Shaenon, great job with the 2 Unitys! Even if they were in black & white and without their skin tones you can tell who’s who. The subtle differences (eyebrows for instance) make them look totally different. Cool.
Cool!
Something DID go boom!
:>)
I would still like to see Gentle Persuasion in action.
Nick2 is back! Yay! And be very afraid…
Darn right … ’cause mirror!Nick doesn’t seem to mind violence.
I guess that was one of the effects of Asig’s conditioning. I doubt the US military would have been interested in a pacifist weapon.
Do Plant Zombies count?
Yeah, as others have already chimed in, Nick has already killed plant filled zombies before.

Rowan Atkinson; the routine is called “Fatal Beatings” and featured on the collection “Rowan Atkinson Live!”.
Thanks! I knew this would be the place to ask!
mirror!Nick may still think he’s in his apartment playing video games. And who doesn’t love a video game where you shoot zombies?
As f0retold in prophecy….
(which is a cool way to end any statement in an appropriately sepulchral voice)
Fern pudding!!!
The brach parts or the boiled root parts?
Say, is any part of the Biomass edible?
“Many parts are edible!”
Too obscure, perhaps…
Ewell Gibbons for Grape Nuts … or was that pine trees? Eh, same taste.
YAAAAAAAY MY FAVORITE CHARACTER ISBACK! I was so sorry for him……go alt!Nick! Show those zombies who’s boss!
I’m with you Marisa – everybody’s favorite hero to the rescue! And probably without a swear filter . . .
Hey, did they ever reveal who Goldbug was? I don’t think they did.
Assuming it wasn’t a virtual reality trick, the head of Anasig revealed that he was Goldbug when Sweetheart tried to go undercover while “driving” the princess-drone.
actually it might be gavits daughter who was gold bug, I think
If he had called him by his name would peace have been possible?
Dan looks a little like Josh Kornbluth.
Who looks slightly like Ben Franklin.

… Question… does this universe’s Nick have the censor subroutine?
I think we’ll find out shortly…
Welcome back, Nick. Assuming that’s Nick’s brain in the copter, and not some other poor slob…
Once again, the agents of Skin Horse are saved through the Deus Ex Nickina plot device. I LOVE THAT CLICHE!!
No, no, no. It’s Nick Ex Machina.
Of course that’s right.
No, no, sorry… Rotary cannon go “Vvvrrrrrrrrrrrmmm…” very loudly. 🙂 Like the world’s biggest, loudest orchestral bass.
Pehaps Nick is using ganged chain guns.

Biscuit is back!
Mostly I did this for the second verse 😀
To the tune of “We wish you a merry Christmas”
Talk peace with the zombie army,
Talk peace with the zombie army,
Talk peace with the zombie army,
While preparing for war.
Yes, Nick came in peace,
To give them a piece,
Of his fify cal miniguns,
So that there could be peace.
He turned them to ferny pudding,
He turned them to ferny pudding,
He turned them to ferny pudding,
And to small zombie bits.
Y’know, what with the point we’ve reached in the storyline, Zombie Ben Franklin’s “For the last time, my name is Dan,” might really be the last time.
I believe the saying is: an Alexandrian solution for a Gordian problem.
Or alternatively, a less-elegant weapon for a less-elegant age.
