You know what’s coming, don’t you? YEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHH …
(TUNE: “Won’t Get Fooled Again”, The Who)
Chopper Nick has got a plan!
Captain Wilkin is the man
Who can save the day, and stop the fire cold!
As the flames accelerate,
He says, “Don’t negotiate!
‘Cause I’m now the new boss, diff’rent from the old!”
He’s got a plan! Gotta get to Cryonics!
Put on shades that are darker than onyx!
This is how
He’s in charge, as of now!
Tell you what we’re gonna do —
Get some CO2,
An extinguisher that’s tried and true …
The flames get cooled again!
I wear my sunglasses inside
So I can, So I can
Save us from the burning rubber plant
I wear my sunglasses inside
So I can, So I can
Straighten out this mess, ’cause Sweetheart can’t
While she’s losing her grip
A paranoid power trip, we
Waste time just flapping lips
I turn to them and say
Disconnect old Moustachio (oh yeah)
Cryonics has some CO2, and you
Better believe that
We need to blow a bomb below (oh yeah)
I wear my sunglasses inside
So I can, So I can
Say Gavotte is messing with our heads
I wear my sunglasses inside
So I can, So I can
Say we work together, or we’re dead
This contest makes no sense
We’re just making cross-currents. My
Army experience
Means I can save the day
Screw all those files, don’t waste your wiles (oh no)
We’re being played, a trap’s been laid (oh no)
Better believe it
I’ve got the plan, now I’m The Man (oh yeah)
I wear my sunglasses inside
I wear my sunglasses inside
I wear my sunglasses inside
I wear my sunglasses inside
Okay, so I couldn’t resist the other obvious song…
To the tune of “Cheap Sunglasses” by ZZ Top
When the basement is on fire
And your time is running out,
When Sweetheart is talking
And Bubbles starts to pout,
Just cut through all the babble
And reunite the masses
But don’t bump into the walls with dark sunglasses!
Oh yeah…Oh yeah…Oh yeah
Tip’s in a little dress
That is Orphan Annie red,
And it’s all a situation
That’s been messing with his head.
There’s now a need for speed;
Sweetheart’s slow as molasses
But where had Tip been carrying dark sunglasses?
Oh yeah…Oh yeah…Oh yeah
So now Tip has got himself
Some deep, dark shades
With lenses so dark
Folks won’t know they’re being played
When it comes to wearing shades
They come in two classes
Prescription lens or dark sunglasses
Oh yeah…Oh yeah…Oh yeah
Tip Taking Charge!
Whadayaknow, he actually stayed awake during the Army’s required leadership training.
Many deride the Army’s adherence to traditions, but a great deal of it is tied to some very hard won lessons in human psychology.
And it seems to work on dogs too.
Rex Vivat: no, check the other panels, his left strap has fallen down off of his shoulder (also, the bottom part of the ‘boob flap’ is also grey), the shades are black not grey anyway
That’s not what I meant. The left strap has indeed fallen down off his shoulder, but it’s at the height of the upper left corner of the dress, and thus would be behind Tip’s right hand. And the shades are not opaque, so when they’re not on they can look a little lighter because light goes through it.
Tip: There’s four flights of stairs to the basements, I’ve got a full bottle of nail polish, half a tube of lip gloss, we’re indoors, and I’m wearing sunglasses.
Sweetheart: Hit it.
*CSI Theme begins playing*
Who?
Actually, that fits, come meet the new boss, same as the old boss….
Yes, it was done by The Who. Very perceptive of you. They did good work.
Someone’s been watching too much CSI: Miami. Or possibly adventuring in Westfall.
You know what’s coming, don’t you? YEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHH …

Tip’s dress strap missing in panel 3…
Covered by his hand, it’s off his shoulder from his previous distress.
Left strap covered. Right strap missing.
L-R from Tip’s perspective.
It’s missing in 2 & 3, technically.
So how long was he up there getting berated? It looked like they were getting pretty deep into the negotiations.
I in always thought that Tip’s glasses were just psychologists glasses, they literally all seem to have them.
I definitely prefer my can-do narcissists blonde in chiffon than middle aged and ruddy with fox red hair.
Slight colouring error in panel 3: Tips strap is grey
I don’t think that’s the strap, it’s in the wrong place for that. Those are probably the shades he put on in panel 4.
Does Sweetheart want to go to Cryonics? Or does she just want to cry?
Okay, so I couldn’t resist the other obvious song…

Rex Vivat: you thought Tip was holding both glasses, in the same hand?
Reading glasses, maybe, given that he usually looks over them and tends to look through them while reading? Or even just a non-corrective affectation.
