    …I agree, Unity. There are worse things.

    If you’re doing it right, every day is like living in a rock opera.

      It’s why I always have burn cream on hand, ….and a bio-hazard jump suit.

        Umm, I think your life might be just a smidge too exciting.

          I also have 911 on speed dial, just in case.

          All those pesky digits could slow you down.

    I’m wondering if Tip will have managed to switch outfits!

      I don’t think a tin foil hat would be appropriate.

      But, going with the Oz theme, I can see how Tip could make it work.

      Tip manages to switch outfits in the split seconds it takes for Nick to traverse digital space.

      Tip manages to switch outfits while wearing an exploding bomb collar and being pursued by an intelligent and spiteful gestalt entity.

      Tip will *absolutely* switch outfits coming out of a flying saucer from Lovetron, and that outfit will be **fabulous**.

    Cue Tip coming down in a space-age outfit to make Tigerlily green with envy.

            With a name like “Andy4Hire” they are probably two Australian oddjobbers, or …. I dont think I want to pursue this line of thought any further, I’m getting scared.

    Did Boston even do a rock opera? Because that definitely looks like it could be one of their album covers.

        No one ever gets tired of “More than a Feeling.” It is simply not possible.

    That’s what happens when you forget and let your UFO insurance expire.

      It could’a been worse. She could’a started singing “Tomorrow Belongs to Me.”

    Sweetheart really has the hang of foreshadowing now.

      When it’s unintentional and ironic, can you really say she “has the hang of it”?

      I remember the Narbonic strip in which Dave ’causes foreshadowing’ but I don’t know how to find it.

          Here’s the one I was thinking of.

          Well, one of them. Another one is where Dave is unstuck in time… october-20-25-2003/#comic-strip-image-2

          And I may have just set a personal best for re-reading Narbonic in its entirety in less than 4 hours.

    I suppose it was too derivative to imagine Tigerlily coming down from the skies in a tricked out Rolls Royce to lead everyone into the skies toward Lovetron.

    The bleached-out colour palette in panel 4 is a nice touch.

    The day is now theirs, oh boy, yep. So greet it with passion and pep. But one flying saucer has thrown her a tosser. And Annex One—please watch your step.

    It’s always the little details that trip you up, isn’t it? A lost pencil, an unsigned form, a giant flying saucer due to come out of the blue . . . ,

    Could have been worse.

    Oh no, the “B plot” caught up with them.

    Get it? Bee plot? Ohohoho!

    Is this he real life,
    Is this the fantasy,
    Turned of he device,
    That disguised reality,
    Open your eyes,
    Look to he skies and see
    Is that a spaceship? Maybe it’s come for me.
    What if I really don’t wanna go.
    Starting high, going low
    We’ve beaten Skin horse, but does that matter to,
    Bee. To bee.

    Theory: the bees have been watching all this time but wanted to give the terrestrials a chance to win their own battles.
