i have to wonder, why a dragon? Your standard atomic mutations are most often giantism , superhuman (or super-silverfish) intelligence, superpowers (psychic or otherwise), hideous malformations (multiple heads/limbs/torsos/eyes optional, as is Hideous Degeneration), or some combination of 2-4 (giants are usually just big, although there are exceptions, such as Godzilla’s atomic breath). This looks like a fairly symmetrical, functional winged dragon [1], which seems oddly _specific_, like being turned into a cockatrice, unicorn, or orangutan.
Does the machine come with specific mutation pre-sets? Say, push 3-C-enter and you get a dragon, 5-m-alt-delete a Kraken, 9-z-cntl-enter a 20-foot Amish farmer?
[1] As far as we can see. Maybe its rear end is a mass of blood-sucking lamprey-tentacles.
I’m assuming that the answer to “why a dragon” is, like the answer to so many questions in this comic, because dragons are cool. I think there are very good odds that it will, at some point, put a hat or goggles on, because the authors like doing that sort of thing. And it’s great.
I didn’t get to make any pies for Thanksgiving this year, sadly — though I did get to eat a few pieces of apple pie that other people made that were very nice.
While looking back to find where she’d said a dragon sat on her car, I found the strip where Ira says that dragons are blind in front of their noses. Foreshadowing!
Manifesta, you were looking stylish!
Darn right she’s lookin’ stylish.
Was that “zap” the sound of her making her appearance, or did that thing-which-looks-like-a-broom she’s carrying go “zap?”
It’s her mojo. That’s how she sweeps you off your feet.
called the dragon, now lets find out how she became a temporal anomaly
I could be wrong, but I think she gets sent back in time to sit on her car.
I’m guessing she tries to get in and drive it, and fails miserably.
Here be dragons, and dragons be it!
Ah, the point in any mad genius masterplan where they realise “Oh, right, that thing I did several steps ago…”

I think she is the dragon that destroyed her own car.
Ooooooooooooooooooh! I did not get that until you said it.
Maybe because she was thinking of a dragon… cause a dragon sat on her car? Will she be sent back in time because she is thinking about her car?
Kids…
Don’t mix drugs.
“Shift your skin!” A shapeshifter?
Jive for “Move your ass!”
How well does Ms. Jones speak jive?
About as well as Ms. Garrity and Mr. Wells, presumably.
this is…surprisingly appropriate for thanksgiving weekend

She became a dragon because Science! Of course.
Why shouldn’t she become a dragon? No-one (on the roof, at least) knows what the irradiator actually does, so it can please itself.
She looks cute.

Also, what the heck is Tigerlilly holding? A toilet plunger?
I kinda want the dragon to win.
Dragon! Mine mine mine mine!
