What’s worrying is that I realized some of my favorite characters *cough*UNITY*cough* are on the hairy edge of that category, but somehow that’s okay because they treat everyone that way instead of just nonhumans.
Maybe Unity and this guy should meet. It would seem, in the course of this adventure, Bubbles has, er, “left her for another,” maybe more than once, and she’s on the market again…
I don’t know about that. The only humans here are Virginia, the Dork Knight, and Shelby, and I’m not sure Shelby really counts as part of the team. I’m pretty sure Dr. Lee is perfectly happy to experiment on anyone, whether they’re human or not. She’s pretty equal opportunity that way.
This is exactly what I wished to suggest. I’ve been hearing too much about Trump’s latest idiocy over Orlando to have any patience with people who display neither empathy nor even enlightened self-interest.
Maybe Virginia could put Sweetdaddy Jupiter Velvets’ brain into this guys head and make a reverse Nick. Not that such a move would be safe. No, definitely not safe, but… It would be a big improvement over the brain he has now, which she could then put into something harmless and amusing like a hula hoop.
Its not against Nick’s programming (or principles) to open up with a tree cutting buzz saw on this guy, is there? I’m almost certain Ginny would have no objections.
Yeah, the way Nick became part of Skin Horse in the first place is because he wouldn’t use his new body to kill, which made him useless to the black ops unit he had been assigned to. Tip came with the team to counsel, and they ended up deciding they needed to rescue Nick, so he wouldn’t be forced to violate his morals.
Oh frell, he’s THAT kind of adventurer.
This surprises you? ;-D
Well yeah. I thought he was a complete twit, it didn’t cross my mind he was in the murder than for fun category.
I’m pretty sure the whole team except Nick is in a “nonhumans aren’t really people” headspace.

My brain has issues.

I strongly support Unity and Red Knight meeting.
Unity would look boss in that hat.

For the record, I meant the “superhero” team.
Oh dear. Don’t touch Nick’s girl. Rule #2: never try to fliet with your ride’s girlfriend.
(Rule #1 being either: do not act incautiously when confronting little bald wrinkly smiling men or never get involved in a land war in Asia.)
Damn typos ruining my carefully crafted comment. *flirt
Parts of Asia are, of course, full of the kind of little bald wrinkly smiling men that Pratchett’s rule #1 is about. 😀
Bite him Alfie. He looks like he needs a nap.

He’s probably jacked up with steroids – and the teeth. undoubtedly veneers.
Haha, no doubt you’re right. There’s all kinds of fake about that guy.
R. K. looks like it’ll stand for Road Kill if he gets Ginny mad: If she doesn’t clobber him, her allies will.

Interfacing the human brain with a traditional electric computer system is one thing, but with clockwork?
You wind up with The Major from Helsing Ultimate.
I’m going to pretend (poorly) that I understood that reference.
Also: Heh, “wind-up”.
Now why would you want to do that to a perfectly innocent hula hoop?
That infernal “shoop shoop” sound?
I’m confused, is he fighting killer shrews, or have the devils suddenly grown normal fur over their leaves?
I’m pretty sure they’ve always looked like that.
They were green before
They still are green
If he won’t re-bury himself, re-bury him yourselves.
That does seem the simplest solution to me. I wonder what forms you’d need for re-interring non-deceased operatives?
Maybe they could do it off-the-clock…
In any event, it would be a worthwhile undertaking.
Have to admit that he has a nice way with words, subbing “grave” for “gravel”.

Programming no, principals yes

Argh! to counsel Nick!
Criminary. He’s like Othar Trygvassen, only without the charm.
No, Othar is only like that about Sparks. He’s certainly willing to count Jagers amongst ‘people needing saving’, or at least half people.
Wait, did he not even hear Lee? o_O
It seemed to me that his “And?” was aimed at Nick as though he was waiting to hear the good news
That grey devil in the first panel looks so cute!
It looks to me like it’s trying to eat the Dork Knight. Then again, who can blame it?
Oh, Jeez. That guy needs to go. Even Unity wouldn’t go there–the Devils are cute!
I don’t know…Unity might kill just one, so she could make it into a hat.
He’d always been a bloviating jackass, but he’s definitely shading into Othar Tryggvassen, GENTLEMAN ADVENTURER, territory in panel 4.
If Othar heard you liken this cretin to him, he’d pummel you swiftly and without mercy.
