        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 …

    (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!

    tune: ” Sunglasses at night,” Corey Hart

    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

    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…

    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.

    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.

    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.
