    Uh-oh. Sweetheart has a plan

      Feels less like a plan and more like “my masochism and desire for just punishment cannot be adequately fulfilled by mere knowledge of my sin and requires active scourging.”

        Well, i never said it was a good plan. Remember when her plan was to subject herself to the anasigma training videos twice?

    I have a feeling this is a mental “worst case scanario” simulator that causes mad scientists to break trough and create their first DDD. Or in her cas save the world device.

    Sweetheart forgets the drone has already survived an intense tire fire and CO2 extinguishing. What’s a little hot magma after that?

      The drone is fine. But the squishy canine body that controls it is another matter.

        It’s always the squishy parts that give you trouble, isn’t it?

        What about Nick?

        Poor guy doesn’t have a squishy body – he’ll have to spend his post-apocalypse single-dronedly rebuilding the petroleum and aviation industries and doing his own repairs!

          I suppose Moustachio and Hitty will be okay, too—unless they melt at volcanic temperatures…

    (TUNE: “Blue Suede Shoes”, Carl Perkins)

    Well, it’s one for the magma,
    Two for the fire,
    Three for eruption,
    Blow higher and higher!

     [CHORUS:]
      So, Captain,
      Gimme those doomsday blues!
      Give the hurtin’ to me,
      ’Cause I’m feelin’ those doomsday blues!

    Well, it’s time to cry,
    It’s time to pout,
    Left the door open and the fire got out!
    Set a spark on the ol’ coal seam,
    Ev’rybody panic and scatter and scream!
     [repeat CHORUS]

    Now I’m feeling sad,
    I’m feeling shame,
    World is ending and I’m to blame!
    (Nick keeps sayin’ that it’s in my head …)
    But I’m believing we’ll all be dead!
     [repeat CHORUS]

    I feel like we are moving into a 50 Shades of Grey area here. Course dogs are color blind so that might make some sense…

      Dogs are only partially colour-blind. Humans can sense three distinct colours (red, blue, and green) while dogs can only sense two (blue and yellow). This ends up meaning that humans can detect something like* 100 times as many colours as dogs.

      *There’s no exact number for a variety of reasons, but 100 seems to be in the right ballpark.

    Yoda in first panel is Captain Bram channeling.

      Yes. Do we know anyone in Asigma who like that talks?

    Okay this is clearly some surreal Punishment Fantasy Scenario simulation.

    I would say that Captain Bram was far too optimistic about his plan succeeding, but then again he is wearing rose-colored glasses.

    Okay, this is the tipping point. Sweetheart is either going to implode or explode.

    She implodes, then Anasigma gets a new agent inside Skin Horse.

    She explodes, she finds a way to take over this entire simulation and route it against them.

    Of course, it occurs to me that Mustachio finds a way to get Hittie to love-tap the servers, cutting it off mid-image as a third option. Much funnier.

    Captain Bram looks more a more like a dead man…

    I am amused by the fact that apparently “the world’s ending” is basically stated to be a result of her not knowing if fire can cause a volcanic eruption

    I like the idea that they know her well enough to torment her like this, but not well enough to realise that it isn’t going to end the way they want it to (even assuming the others don’t rescue her). Her perverse enjoyment of being a Bad Dog is something they surely can’t have known about and planned for.
