Thomas Levy (ergonomytch) says: Tip would surely disagree.
Natasha Yar-Routh (xiomberg) says: 5 full time emplyes? We’ve met three so far so two more to go, interesting
Michael Brazier (michaelbrazier) says: Why would Tip disagree? He’s not trying to be cute; he wants to be fashionable and sexy instead. Or perhaps a lumberjack, deep in the wilds of British Columbia …
So It Begins (soitbegins) says: Ah. The truth comes out!
Elaine Corvidae (elaine_corvidae) says: You are indeed, Sweetheart. You are indeed.
Ed Gedeon (eddurd) says: “Piecemeal Revenants on Medication” — another great band name.
Justin Grubbs (the_purple_knight) says: They’d be one of those bands like P.O.D. I have no idea what it stands for, but it’s easily recognized.

Unless Killbots 1 & 3 are the two, with #2 on part-time status until he/she/it gets his/her/its imperative urges to destroy under better cultural control.
John Campbell (jcampbel) says:
Unity wouldn’t have been surprised to see them in that case. When one only has four cow orkers, one tends to know who they are.
And I seem to recall one of the creators mentioning that Sweetheart’s in charge of the field team (which doesn’t usually include Tip), but there’s a overall boss that we haven’t met yet.
Also, “funded for” doesn’t mean “actually have”. They may not yet have found anyone appropriate to fill the fifth slot.
Aaron Shades (prof_tinker) says:
Silly Sweetheart. . . I’m afraid you’re the ‘more sesible leader/ mascot.’ Tip is the ‘new guy’, at least for the feild.
Unity is the cure one. With the guns. Aw yeah.
And for my money, Tip is ‘elegant’, not merely cute.
Andre Richard (andre) says:
Dang, Sweetheart’s cute 🙂
Also, I just realized that the comic’s title is a reference to The Velveteen Rabbit.
Pete (westrider) says:
bzzzzd: Given that one of my friends wants me to be a Bridesmaid at her wedding despite that fact that I’m a guy, that comic really cracked me up 🙂
As far as the five employees thing, one of the remaining two is almost certainly the big boss. I wouldn’t be surprised if Leo gets hired on to fill out the last slot, but I wouldn’t put money on it, either.
Martha Mintz (muffinthamighty) says: Tip strikes me as the adorable ditzy one, but maybe I’m just projecting.
Genny Fitzsimmons (whatkin) says: Sweetheart reminds me of my sister’s dog in that last panel. 🙂
Martha Mintz (muffinthamighty) says: Thought- if they’re underfunded and dealing with stuff all across the country there’s gonna be a loooot more road trips. Ooh! Mas goblin porn!

Unity is on medication? huh I don’t remember any other references to that.
“Piecemeal revenant”. So that’s the formal term for Frankenstein’s monster and similar beings. Fascinating! And educational.
That you are, Sweetheart, that you are!
