    Sweetheart needs a hug and a chew toy, methinks.

      At this point, the only thing that could sort that dog out is ten tons of cheese. A gorge-fest is probably slightly healthier than a booze-fest.

    This is workable.

    1). Artie transforms.
    2). They throw him across the gap to the other pipe.
    3). He transforms back, once he clears the lip of the pipe.

    …and this is when they could use a rope, true. But I’m sure that they can work that bit out.

      In that case, they’d still need somewhere to tie the rope off to, unless you think Artie is strong enough not to slip or dislocate his shoulders when Tip bounces at the end of the rope.

        I sure hope you’re not calling Tip overweight.

          If the rope were 20 ft long (about 6 m), then the g-force of an object bouncing at the bottom would be about 3.25, which would mean even if Tip weighs 165 pounds (75 kg), his effective weight at the bottom of the bounce would be about 535 pounds (242 kg). On a slippery surface with no footholds, it would be very hard for even the strongest person to avoid falling from that.

            Artie in human form may be that strong. Helen’s good at making abominations of science.

    The comic has been up for MINUTES and no-one has mentioned the return of Alice yet!

      Tip hasn’t been bragging about that either.

      Alice was visible a couple of strips back without any mention being made; I think we’ve started to expect Tip’s soldier mode to manifest at times like this.

      Also, yet another T-shirt worthy quote from Nick. Every time I do an archive crawl there seem to be more great lines that I had forgotten…

    NICK’S running out of swears?

    The world’s coming to an end, isn’t it?

      That too, but mostly Captain’s Fancy Valentine Sweetheart is coming to a realisation that she will only remember when drunk.

        Wait, Sweetheart can get drunk? *Rereads the “Dead Dogs” arc*

    Artie looks like he could be vault-boy in a more racially (and whatever the -ly is for species) diverse fallout universe.

      Darn, Helen’s creations would need to be put in a vault their own just to keep them from ending the world all over again. The Fallout games I’ve played (3 and New Vegas) tried their hand at being racially and… speciesishly? diverse. It just didn’t work out that well all the time.

    Nick is going to run out of swears …
    Gold dust, hel-lo, funnel, and shine!
    Remember all those teammates of theirs?
    Hey, no prob, I’m sure that they’re fine …

    Found the lair of mindless undead …
    (Gold dust, hel-lo, funnel, and shine)
    But now they find no passage ahead!
    Hey, no prob, I’m sure they’ll be fine …

    Mister England, he had the map …
    (Gold dust, hel-lo, funnel, and shine)
    To guide them through the labyrinth of cr*p!
    Still, no prob, I’m sure they’ll be fine …

    Now their faced with impassable falls!
    (Gold dust, hel-lo, funnel, and shine)
    While Sweetheart drinks and bitches and bawls!
    Poor ol’ girl, I’m sure she’ll be fine …

    Nick is going to run out of swears …
    Gold dust, hel-lo, funnel, and shine!
    It’s such a sorry state of affairs!
    Sweetheart goes in search of more wine …

    Come to think of it, where’s Unity? (Maybe she’s still in ….. the doghouse.)

    Can they use mojo-based teleportation to escape?

      They’re in the sewers, they need all the mojo they can get.

    Gold dust and funnel it all, Eddurd you made me have to comment on your shine again. Bravo.

    Unfortunately, sewers have a strong negative impact on sexy mojo. Ask anyone who’s brought a date to one.

    Okay, I am having a psychic flash here. Once all is said and done, and the trio has escaped the sewers and gotten back to their hotel, filthy, tired, and traumatized, and Sweetheart comes in with a hangover saying “There you three are! You wouldn’t believe the night I’ve had . . . ”

    This, of course, will result in Sweetheart being stuffed into the sewer head first.

    Where is U.N.I.T.Y. anyway? Mayhem, zombies, and a maze with danger around every corner, it sounds like her kind of party.

    That whole pipe-leading-to-waterfall set up is reminding me of that one part in A Breif Moment Of Culture. Is it a reference perhaps~?~
