    Round 1 winners: Anasigma. At least they’ve managed to contact GODOT, even though it had great fun messing with their minds.

    Now onto Round 2 and see what the Skin Horse crew get up to…

      Actually, this was the first move of round two. Anasigma forfeited their turn in round 1.

    This is the best arc ever. Its got sergio, bi tip, dr. lee, violet, godot, explsoions, robots, puppets, unity/sweetheart hints, and of course, mad science
    theres literally only one thing that could improve this arc and thats a cameo of bro strider walking around in the background. i would die.

      Don’t forget Smart Unity. Smart Unity rocks hard.

    now that you put it that way, it does sound kinda silly, but in a mad thain she should know better than to trust common sence!

      I get the impression the madfolk of St Charlie called in outside help in the hope that, where Mad Science had failed, sanity might do better. And right now, they can’t really see the difference.

        Wait you think two teams of government agents represent sanity?

          You have to make allowances for the fact that the people making this contest were mad, obviously.

    Song: “Little Talks,” (Of Monsters And Men)

    Yay!
    Yay!
    Yay!

    We have been walkin’ around this big and crazy train
    “So tell me the advances you have made.”
    The A. I. talked to us, he gave it to us straight
    But in words that were only for my eyes.

    Godot likes to see us bust ourselves
    He’s killing us like Phillips–that way!

    And while logic we’re eschew-
    ing, we seem to do
    better than Skin Horse.

    “Great!
    Hey!
    Wait…”

    There’s Sergio with a bomb that’s blowing him up
    For Violet, three words–puppets and chalk.
    Round one may now be over, with goose egg for both sides,
    Tip and friends will be back, right after lunch
    (Why hasn’t Sweetheart lez’d it up?)

    “Sometimes I don’t know if this is ops or art,”
    Your dada theatre guess is close, I fear.

    And while logic we’re eschew-
    ing, we seem to do
    better than Skin Horse.

    Hey!
    GODOT’s messages Vio missed!
    Hey!
    Our boss might not exist!
    Hey!

    While logic we’re eschew-
    ing, we seem to do
    better than Skin Horse.

      If you make it a black ops Dadist theater IMPROV group, I’m definitely in.

        Improv Everywhere refers to its folks as ‘Agents’. Does that count?

    Dr Lee is definately going through some personality changes after her UNITY possesion experience…. as witness her innocent wide-eyed wonder in a situation where she’d previously’ve been frustrated and doubting herself. (I could do with a dose of that.)

      Very true – self-doubt is something U.N.I.T.Y. causes, not something she experiences.

    tune: “Radio Gaga,” Queen

    I used my puppets and some chalk
    That’s how I got GODOT to talk
    But I could not read what he said
    I think we’re gonna end up dead
    (From GODOT)

    I read the writing on the wall
    It says he’s gonna kill us all
    But Violet Bee can’t read the words
    Says she’s a robot: that’s absurd

    My boss said “make this bomb go pop”
    We’ll get to GODOT from the top
    The manual showed me the way
    And so I made that payload pay
    Now Violet Bee is mad at me
    I messed with her conspiracy
    (Didn’t know)

    All we are is theatre that’s Dada
    Black ops gone gaga
    GODOT says “Ta ta”
    All we are is theatre that’s Dada
    We ain’t done nada
    We met GODOT
    Ruby, this train’s gonna blow

    So how long do you think it’s going to take the teams to break down and share info?

      Unfortunately thus far there is very little information to share….

        Well, there’s the fact that GODOT communicates with induced hallucinations. That’s kind of important, and team Skin Horse don’t know that yet.

    Why do I see this devolving into a Three Stooges routine for both teams (much to Sweetheart’s and V-Bee’s frustration)?

    So THAT’S how it looks when you’re not just walking in at the Moment of Comedy.

    This one makes me laugh out loud again every time I read it. Hello from the present, this is a great comic.
