Based on the mixed reviews of Tip’s use of puppets, I’m not sure if that will be a diplomatic overture, or an incentive to be assimilated in order to get away from the puppet show.
Win-win from HT’s point of view. If the puppets work, nobody’s complaining about the takeover. If the puppets don’t work everybody will be complaining about the puppets and not the takeover.
Remember werewolf tip? How long until the hivemind has an electoral process? Honestly I will be very disappointed if they don’t end up reusing that gag…
“Spend time with corrupt, homicidal, Third World political figures, and you’ll hear a lot of self-pity. What kind of man throws his political enemies in prison and then tortures them to death? Usually it’s a guy who feels so sorry for himself, he feels justified doing anything. Killers, by and large, are whining losers. But that doesn’t make them any less dangerous.”

If they do puppets, Tip will have to be assimilated. He’ll need more arms and legs than he’s got.
My response: I thought you didn’t want them to complain? o_O
If they’re complaining about the puppets, they’re not complaining about the body-horror apocalypse steadily engulfing the planet.
Do I detect a burning smell?
Cue kaiju puppets that teach people about peace and harmony?
Casimir: Probably. Some of the biomass has been quite good to me lately.
Sounds more like they want to use tip as a torture device.
This was somebody else’s idea, not H. T.’s, right?
Hm… Puppet show or assimilation? Which would a troupe of warrior mimes choose?

These two are adorable. Just rewrite every line with, “…and then he looked deeply into his eyes.”
Man, I’m getting Sasuke/Naruto fanfiction flashbacks here.
Did anyone else hear ominous music and latin chanting in the background of panels 2 and 3?
Yes. Or at least a “Dun dun dun!”
Yes, it started around the same as the slow dolly zoom
Tyrants are often oddly sensitive to people complaining about being tyrannized.

Oh, he needs a psychoanalyst alright
Same old H.T. I guess he’s the one driving the biomass in this universe instead of Jerkass Unity.
