She was transferred to the reopened Skin Horse by the shadow-government bureaucracy. In spite of disliking her intensely, Sweetheart kept her on so she could punish her with vaguely-worded tasks.
You may or may not know of the story about the time the LORD said to all the creatures, ‘Go forth and multiply!’ and one pair of snakes said, ‘Excuse me, LORD, we can’t multiply; we’re adders.’
A short while later the LORD was walking in the garden, and came upon the adders next to the woodpile. They had several baby adders, and the LORD said unto them, ‘You worked out how to multiply, then?’
One of the adders replied, ‘Yes, we’re doing it by logs.’
We like crickets! They jump around in a funny way! They’re crunchy like when you eat rats straight from the freezer, but they don’t give us fang-freeze!
Who’s that woman again? Is she head of the asylum?
Dr. Engelbright, the new office manager for Skin Horse, reassigned from the Institute.

She’s their new annoying office manager. I think Sweetheart was their old annoying office manager.

Should have said: yes, she is Dr Engelbright, former head of the Institute for the Sane Study of Mad Genius.
I’m thinking maybe the cast page could use a few more entries.
Ded uv cute. (and venom)
“Seriously, how many of you are there?”
Well, when a mommy cobra and a daddy cobra love each other very much…
The Axis of Adorable together again!
“Seriously, how many of you are there?”
“How should we know? We’re cobras, not adders.”
Ba-dump bump!
Tssst!

Sorry. Not sorry.
That joke is terrible, and I must steal it to inflict it on all of my friends.
Same here! XD
And thirding. (I already just inflicted it on my brother).
I had heard the first half of that joke before, but not the second. And I love it. Well done, Seph.
The version of that joke that I know have the adders constructing a table so that they have a, you know, log table…

Oh Shaennon this is why we love you
So happy to see the baby cobras again
The Cobras! <3 <3 <3
Who are those shadowy figures in the last panel?
Hopefully, more Cobras!
But I doubt it..
That looked a lot like Mister Green talking to the figure in complete shadow…
Staff. It IS a shadow operation, after all.
Hugs!!!

Yay, the noodles are back.
tune: “Makin’ Whoopee!,” Walter Donaldson & Gus Kahn, 1928
“We need some towels.
Give me a job.”
“No one wants this one.
To you I’ll lob
A task so risky,
With snakes so frisky,
Transportin’ cobras.”
Their friend is back
Librarian smell
Inside the shirt
They know so well
In there it’s muggy
But they feel huggy
Cavortin’ cobras
She left A-Sig in due course
Cracked, but not quite insane
Now that she works for Skin Horse
She’ll put snakes on a plane
Tough job head-counting
Elapidae
Her head surmounting
They laugh and play
They’re cute and wiggly
Hair makes ’em giggly
Contortin’ cobras
That’s what we gets, folks,
They’ll make good pets, folks,
The child-like cobras.
The answer is, of course, “not enough.”
Indeed, “not enough.”
It smells like librarian in here!
Good point. Virginia must surely remember the cobras from that incident.
They all should be all right, so long as getting giggly doesn’t lead to strangulation…
Couldn’t; they’re not constrictors. Some of them might spit, however.
Maybe Skin Horse should stop worrying about towels and get some spittoons instead.
COB’AS!
Sorry, I was going to post something clever and insightful, but COB’AS!
“Semi-sapient”. Ouch. Either being a bit harsh, or there’s an unhappy reason why the cobras never seem to grow up.
“You’re only young once, but you can be immature forever.”
I always describe myself as “I may get older, but I refuse to grow up.”
Same here
Wait so there are more than three baby cobras now? Too. Damn. Cute.
That was my thought, too. This is the first time we’ve definitively seen more than three baby cobras at a time.
Yay! The Cuddle Cobras are back! Can the Singing Silverfish be far away?!
Is that Mr. Green in the background?
Also, cobras <3
Transporting adorable, cuddly cobras. It’s a tough job, but somebody’s got to do it.
Look on the bright side Virginia. At least this isn’t a snakeless job *crickets chirping*
We like crickets! They jump around in a funny way! They’re crunchy like when you eat rats straight from the freezer, but they don’t give us fang-freeze!
But *where* are they being transported to?
A *safe* location.
At least she’s on familiar ground here.
Ahhhh, the cobras are from my favorite story arc ever.
How many? Tsk. she told you. “a horde” xD
