I know it’s been eight or nine years since he left the lab, but Artie isn’t stupid. Has he really forgotten how to act around a person who’s anywhere near his level? Regardless of whether she’s mad, or sane, or latent-mad, don’t piss off the super-scientist.
Artie was never that great at avoiding hoof in mouth, it comes with his “I am good and your evil and/or mad” attitude. It’s just easier to take when he is fuzzy. 🙂
Dr. Lee a witch? Well, she doesn’t have the mad cackle, despite Tip’s claims, I can’t see her bent in a circle, and she’s not green. However she does create horrors out of her “cauldron” (advanced cybernetics lab), and I would not be surprised if she gave some experimental monkeys little mechanical wings at some point.
Back in my school days, we did The Tempest in English class… and in one of my characteristic acts of egomaniacal whimsy, I laid personal claim to the role of Stephano during the readings.
That is to say that, despite most of the character roles being swapped around randomly, I both insisted on always being Stephano and refused to play any other character. A half-friend eventually followed suit and insisted on being Trinculo … and things kinda spiralled out of control until almost all the roles were being championed by certain people and nobody else got to do anything.
When it came to doing Romeo & Juliet, I tried to do the same thing with Mercutio… but my ambitions of hogging the role were shut down. I still managed to be him for his death-scene though.
Point is… I’m pretty much made to be wild and irresponsible Shakespearean characters.
Oh, Tip, darling, tell me you have pictures of her like that? Pretty please, nyao? I’ll rub up against your shins purring loudly if you let me see them, mrrow!
lol. think I snorted wine out my nose
Nice, Tip!
Next, tell them how The Journey of a Thousand Miles begins in your pants.
Dr. Lee just snarked Artie. She’s trying to get ready for the big leagues.
Aaand Virginia’s bored. Bad news for two guys who pride themselves on how interesting they are.
I don’t know if she’s bored or simply deep in thought. Her eyes are half-lidded in every panel after the first.
Unfortunately, the “magic” of having an “intellectual equal” to converse with, seems to be gone
There mojo is being shotdown like duck with the light gun pointed at a light bulb.
And being snickered by that damn dog.

Now, we lounge in a Jacuzzi spa,
Discussing all the things we saw
In our day!
Have a glass of wine and talk about Nick!
See, I’m glad that Nick’s a friend of mine,
But Artie, some sarcastic line
He will say …
Quoting Shakespeare, thinks he’s sounding so slick!
I suppose
That make me Sycorax!
Tip, he knows
Just how we bent our backs!
And he’s chiding Artie’s lack of class!
I think I need another glass
Of rosé …
Not too much, ’cause I don’t wanna get sick!

I’d SO love to see him accidentally transform sometime during this plotline, whether or not he’s supposed to have control over it now.
Or it could be that he WANTS to piss off the super-scientist. (not-so)Nefarious PLOT!

And she’d probably look good in the pointy hat.
She’d rather be watching youtube rips with Nick…

Okay, if Artie’s going to keep quoting The Tempest, he needs to tell them about Caliban.

Wait… panel four there’s no Virginia blush?
She’s been drinking. It takes a bit more to make her blush.
Plus she’s probably just annoyed at Tip rather than being embarrassed.
