I agree. Based on what we’ve seen of Dr. Lee – including the fact that she was once infected (or infested) with U.N.I.T.Y. – I think she’s just messing with Sweetheart.
Sounds about right to me. If I had to guess I would say that it is the portion of Miss Lee’s that is a Spark that is resisting the reality filter and the part of her that is a sane scientist that is succumbing. ^_^
Yes, agreed – we know there’s a negative link between mad science and reality blindness, because of the whole of Narbonic. Most likely her latent madness is keeping her from suffering the reality blindness.
And there I was, thinking that the request to sort the toilet rolls out was a sign that Sweetheart is dealing with this situation about as well as Tip is.
Surely there’s no-one else in the building who would give a second thought to the colour of toilet roll?
That’s a thing Shaenon does sometimes for effect. Sometimes it’s all in one day like this, and sometimes it spans a couple days, like the first panel on one day and the last panel on the next, or even the last panel on two days in a row.
At least they still have employees. “Bert, what is it we do here, anyway?” “You know, I can’t recall. Oh well, it’s government work, amirite?”
In fairness, Ira’s been doing that for years
And how is that different from real life, pray tell?
It really do be like that.
I suspect that what we’re seeing in Dr. Lee is what happens when half of the brain/mind is reality blind. Or something like that.
An interesting notion, but I suspect that what we’re seeing is perfectly normal, and Dr. Lee is totally unaffected by the reality blindness.

My sense is that Dr. Lee carries her own personal brand of reality blindness, with occasional epiphanies, much like the rest of us.

Agreed. Half Reality Blind, half Mad Scientist. That makes the most sense here.

They probably have a ten-year supply of toilet paper that Sweetheart asked Dr Lee to sort ages ago…
Sweetheart’s extra fluffy from being scritched by those MIB guys…
This reminds me of a certain incident with a scanning tunneling microscope.
Is it just me or does panel one and panel 4 look like duplicates?

Close, but not quite a duplicate. The background highlight has moved.
… did she just get away with calling Sweetheart “a doggo”, with no repercussion?
She’s AWESOME.
I mean at *least* I don’t think dogs are cute.
Tigers fill that space!
