    Ooh, he does not look like an ordinary person.

    Huh, does Anasigma not have data on what Artie looks like? I’d think they’d have been briefed on that…

      Clearly Echo Bravo doesn’t have clearance for that.

        Yeah, I imagine AΣ probably knows what he looks like. Echo Bravo and Alfa Alfa were just really poorly briefed for their mission.

      The way Mr. Greene runs Anasigma resembles how my friend used to run Alpha Complex. You never can tell.

      Besides, Echo-Bravo is the go to person he looks to when he is counting on an agent to fail their mission.

        This does smell like an attempt to get Artie spooked and on the move more than an actual assassination attempt, yeah.

    It figures that Artie would be Genre Savvy. ^_^

      This may not be his first time meeting Anasigma agents.

        This might not even be his first time meeting a A-Sig hit team, given how their agents work.

    I, for one, am heartened by Echo Bravo’s display of conscience in panel 2.

      If Artie reverts to gerbil form, it would be very, very, very hard, to put a slug between his eyes.

      Oh, yeah, concience. He thinks they probably shouldn’t kill an ordinary person.

      By accident. On purpose is cool.

    Lol he’s so used to this that he just takes it in stride and prefers if they just kill him.

      Better that than sexual tension with Alfa Alfa. (Not to insult her; he’s gay.)

        Then again, he didn’t seem to mind his last threesome. So maybe Artie is trying to insult her.

    Agent Alfa, agent Bravo, meet agent Mojo.

      I am fairly certain that Agent Mojo is a super-intelligent monkey, not a super-intelligent gerbil.

        That’s Mojojo. Tip is agent Mojo.

          And Mojo Jojo is an enemy of the Powerpuff Girls.

    What do you call it when two villains argue about their plans within obvious earshot of their victim? It’s not monologuing, but it’s in the same class of self-defeating villainous behavior.

      Might search through videogame tropes thanks to the frequency of it it that particular medium.

      I usually call it Those Two Guys.

    Wait, how is EB resisting Artie’s mojo?

      Oh he’s in serious denial.

      That or he’s just a dyed-in- the-wool hetero.

    Wait, they don’t even know what kind of monster Artie is?

    These guys clearly didn’t read their briefs. Let’s see if they read Artie’s.

    They’ll probably try tying him up or something cute like that. And then he can were-hamster out of it whenever it’s funny.

      They were too busy thinking about each other’s briefs.

    Is it supposed to be “a really hot, cut, ordinary person,” or a “really hot, cute, ordinary person” with an extra “e?” Or is it some slang I’m not familiar with?

    Based on one talking Canadian dog’s library of erotic literature: yes Alfa, you absolutely can have the sexual tension with the monster.
