Reminds me of an old BW stop-motion short I saw once, with either realistic rubber frogs, or dead ones… Something about needing a leader and making a poor choice…
Thanks!
I used to have a song about where dead frogs could be kept, but Google and YT let me down… “Got our dwarves back” was a bit too weird, even for this place, though…
You get used to it. I work in a postal facility where it takes up to six weeks to get anybody to fill the paper cup dispensers. *Very* hard on those of us who can’t bend our backs into the shape of a question mark.
(Bubbles must have been in charge of that here at the Skin Horse offices, till her promotions…)
What is this copaceptic conspiracy? I noticed that word turning up on multiple of the webcomics i read within a few days, and considering i have never seen that word used before, i am pretty sure there is something nefarious going on here.
Older than that; late nineteenth or early twentieth century. Said to derive from Cajun French, Italian, Chinook Jargon, and Hebrew—without a shred of evidence to prove it. Means “fine” or “good”—“everything’s all right.”
It’s possible he may alternate between the two – head on his body when actually doing reception work, head on Hitty’s body the rest of the time – after all, his previous body was pretty much static at the reception desk.
In the first panel, I briefly was confused about who was talking.
When I started reading, I assumed that “Loveland Frogs” was Nick’s swear filter kicking in.
Bubbles is actually saying, “BUBBLES SMASH”
So, is this what sweetheart’s having her do, or is this her own initiative?
This sounds like a Sweetheart thing.
I couldn’t help but read Bubbles’ “Service” as a sort of wistfulness. I guess it’s because Bubbles always feels like whimsy to me.
I think wistful was the intent, judging by the look on her face.
I took it as disappointment. Bubbles might have a really good reason to use hot towels.
Ah, so they were Lovecra- er… “Loveland” frogs.
Well, they definitely weren’t the ever non-violent Grith.
Named after Loveland, Ohio, where the creature was first spotted. Its a cryptozoology reference, not a Lovecraft reference.

The frogs are very real and very dead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPmLi3zYaE8

Perhaps Czarist propaganda but then given what was to happen under Stalin it could be precognition.
Hitty is not happy, from the looks of it.
I’m pretty sure “hitty smash” is her default state

Ooh. Hot Towels treatment would make a very nice perk for working at Alphabet, Apple, or any other high tech firm these days.

It was a semi-popular term in the ’70’s and ’80’s, then it just sorta died out.
Then in the late ’90’s we got “the dude abides”

Didn’t say the word originated from the ’70’s, just that it got a fair amount of use then
Computer problems drove me to order a new tower a few minutes ago—probably I’ll get to some kind of song parody tomorrow, laptop or not.
[I only post this so my fans will know why I didn’t post—assuming I have any fans.]
But will your computer have fans?

After this escapade, I’m sure not one.
Wise words, silly reality.
That said, in Panel 4, is Mustachio’s head back on Hitty’s body, or is simply a matter of perspective? They got his chassis back, didn’t they?
