    Isn’t Ramshackler similarly predisposed?

      Ramshambler hits with precision and purpose. For Hitty, hitting IS purpose, and precision amounts to “Is target flat? If not, hit again.”

        Ahh, sounds like my kind of programming.

    If I needed something to be hit, I’d call Hitty. She’s a pro!

    I, for one, was *stunned* at the reveal.

      It “smacks” of serendipity, does it not? You could have “knocked” me down with a feather.

        But she normally uses a hammer

          Only because the end of her arm is a hammer, not a club.

      Solid punchline, though.

      Yes, yes she does. That’s how you know that things are getting serious

      More than they were already, I mean

        Being made of metal, I wonder if she’ll be able to unfurrow.

    Yeah, I didn’t see that coming. Hitty having a secret purpose? Never would have guessed

    Anyone else getting a ‘final episodes of Gravity Falls” vibe here or is it just me. The house is about to rock.

    Hitty the Nuke-Force Robot,
    Had the finest hammer-arm.
    And if she ever hit you,
    You would likely buy the farm.

    All of the rest of Skin-Horse
    Plugged here into Annex One.
    They never took poor Hitty
    On their Skin-Horse mission fun.

    Then sometime near Christmas eve,
    Hitty came to say.
    “Hitty knows she must admit,
    Hitty’s purpose is to hit!”

    Now all of Skin-Horse cheered her,
    As they turned to run and flee.
    “Hitty the Nuke-Force Robot,
    You’ll destroy the plant H. T.!”

    —from “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” written by Johnny Marks, from a story by his brother-in-law Robert L. May.

    My spiffy new Skin Horse calendar, complete with a really fun sketch, has arrived! I am now one of the Cool Kids! Winter may be coming, but Christmas is almost here, and Jadis can bite me.

    Affairs have begun escalating. For this Our Gal Hitty was waiting. A donnybrook bit comes so Hitty can hit. Her maker has done good creating.

    I’ll bet I can guess Hitty’s favorite Beatles song! Hint: Steve Martin sang it in a film so bad I don’t like it!
