It’s hardly been made explicit, but there are other shadow-government divisions under B.O.S.S. whose ins and outs we just plain do not see. The highly-trained ninja infiltrators of Covert Foodshare, for instance.
Sweetheart is the store manager. Every chapter is a convoluted adventure where they need to keep the speciest regional manager from finding out she’s a dog. Guest-starring Alice Pearce as the nosy owner of the boutique next door.
I think this is gonna be like on the X-Files, where they kept closing the department, but Mulder and Scully were still FBI agents and still got into weird stuff every week. Either that or, because nonhuman sapients have become more visible and mainstream, they’re being closed down as a black ops team and reorganized under a more public arm of HHS.
Ha! Implying that we would actually steal plot points from “The X-Files.” I mean, *really*. Who do you think we are? Old-school fans of “The X-Files” one of whom is serializing the entire run of the series in comic form or something?
At teamwork, seems we never win,
Disorganized and uninspired!
Oh, hey, a memo just came in …
We’re being forcibly retired!
[CHORUS:]
Project Skin Horse, you’ve been fired!
Your employment has expired!
Services are not required …
Project Skin Horse, you’ve been fired!
Now out of Annex One we’re locked,
Well, after what has just transpired,
We shouldn’t be completely shocked!
(Our former foes, have they conspired?) [repeat CHORUS]
So now my Fan Fiction effort was a total waste? 🙁 I’m sure when the Leader Bee Swarm regains coherence she’ll pull some bureaucratic procedural jujitsu and have funding restored, with a raise for herself as a bonus. 🙂
Sorry to interrupt the flow of comment, but I’ve just gotta say…my posts keep popping up under “Robert Nowall” and “robertnowall.” They’re both me. I change it, preferring “Robert Nowall” at all times (It is my name), but it keeps going back.
Well, they’re government workers, their division might have been closed, but they’ll be reassigned. I wonder where? I also wonder how long before those in charge realize they’ve made a terrible, horrible mistake?
Okay, looks like Anasigma finally had a competent idea and applied pressure to Skin Horse’s superiors to get rid of the thorn in their (Anasigma’s) side. When Gavotte comes to, she’s going to have to do one heck of a red-tape dance to get them out of this.
No, I’m not considering that the others would help. Why do you ask?
You know, maybe things would have been different if they’d shared their discovery from The Little House with Gavotte.
Maybe she could have seen the attempt to subvert her department to re-organize it back to its nefarious purposes and come up with a way to prevent it from happening.
um, well, that was….. well.
On a Wednesday?!
Alas, it’s not a paid vacation 🙁
Looks like the plot just leveled up again!
Well is that the end of the strip? 😉
Say what?
Erm, I thought Project Skin Horse /was/ Black Ops Social Services…
BOSS. BOSS is Social Services for Social Services.
It’s hardly been made explicit, but there are other shadow-government divisions under B.O.S.S. whose ins and outs we just plain do not see. The highly-trained ninja infiltrators of Covert Foodshare, for instance.
I take it that Covert Foodshare is tasked with raiding communal office refrigerators.
I can’t believe it took me all day to realize that their supervising subdepartment of HHS is B.O.S.S.
Comic over. It’s been a great run, folks. Tune in next week for the new comic: Fast Food Transvestite.
Heck no! If we’re going to get a spinoff it’s got to be abut Sweetheart.
“Dog-walking dog, eh?”
Sweetheart is the store manager. Every chapter is a convoluted adventure where they need to keep the speciest regional manager from finding out she’s a dog. Guest-starring Alice Pearce as the nosy owner of the boutique next door.
I…would watch that.
-Fast Food Executive Transvestite.
Sequester strikes again!
The chapter theme continues…..
How about a sudden ending? (Watch from 4:20)

Nice subtlety, Jeff.

In this day and age, when even the National Park Service has a SWAT team…who needs Black Ops or Skin Horse?
So now my Fan Fiction effort was a total waste? 🙁 I’m sure when the Leader Bee Swarm regains coherence she’ll pull some bureaucratic procedural jujitsu and have funding restored, with a raise for herself as a bonus. 🙂
Actually, this is a great test of a team. under the stress of department closure, will they all pull together, or will they pull apart. Stay tuned!
Aww man, did they copy this plot twist from the Phineas & Ferb Summer Special?

I guess that’s the “raise”
Wdot: probably when Sweetie goes on one of her Rampages (or Unity eats one of them)
Well that was unexpected and undramatic.
The plot thickens.
Now they can join _Blacker_ Ops
slightly darker black ops
Or maybe they’ll be hired by the opposition. Or go visit friends.
The revolving door to Anasigma awaits!
Okay, looks like Anasigma finally had a competent idea and applied pressure to Skin Horse’s superiors to get rid of the thorn in their (Anasigma’s) side. When Gavotte comes to, she’s going to have to do one heck of a red-tape dance to get them out of this.

Scully, they’re closing down the X-Files…
DUN DUN DUNNNNNNN!
You know, maybe things would have been different if they’d shared their discovery from The Little House with Gavotte.
Maybe she could have seen the attempt to subvert her department to re-organize it back to its nefarious purposes and come up with a way to prevent it from happening.
Instead of, y’know, clocking out for a snog.
