Dave Van Domelen (dvandom) says: Mushrooms got fangs….
Thomas Levy (ergonomytch) says: Is that a SINGING fish? *shudder*
Justin Grubbs (the_purple_knight) says: No longer are the creatures cute and cuddly. Those zombie heads look like dead children.:(
Martin Weld (ikari_gendo) says:
What are the horrible, foul-smelling mecha-fish from “Gyu” doing in the basement? And when did they become sentient?
And where the heck did Tip’s lipline end up?
So It Begins (soitbegins) says:
You know, I think the best thing for Tip would be to find his way out and buy the credenza.
Oh, no. Don’t tell me he’s lost!
Rockphed (rockphed) says:
Tip is an ex-marine. He doesn’t get lost.
He just loses the directions to his destination.
apple apple (mutevampire) says: disembodied zombie heads…. could this be a tribute to the Zombie Woof story in Narbonic? (notices that the necks are even the same as Dave’s was during those strips)
Scott Davidson (mrson) says:
YAGH! The horrid fish-thing on metal legs! One of my greatest fears! Run away! Run away!
Ed Gedeon (eddurd) says:
Personally, I love the Scottish sentient water blob.
Zombie heads are scary … but not as much as coming home and finding out my wife got a perm.
David Harmon (mental_mouse) says:
Yeah, this is definitely getting out of hand! I suspect Tip is discovering the real reason nobody comes down here… politics! Maybe he should just set up an Abandoned Species League….
At least, request more funding for Project Skin Horse!!
Eric Burns (ericburns) says: ….the zombie heads are a total Bill Holbrook reference, aren’t they?
Tiff Hudson (tiff_hudson) says: Welcome to the United Nations,Tip. We hope you enjoy your stay with our many fascinating sovereign nations.
apple apple (mutevampire) says: Still don’t see why Tip didn’t just bring the snakes upstairs, removing a link and solving the only problems Tip actually cared about 8^P
Aaron Shades (prof_tinker) says:
. . . . . AUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGHHHHHH!!!!!
Ohmigodohmigodohmigod the freaking FISH WITH THE FREAKING LEGS!!
If you’ll excuse me, I’ll just be over here in the corner hyperventilating now.
So It Begins (soitbegins) says: Today on the Mad Scientist Wars:
The Plot of Jane Narbon, The Benevolent Man and the Search-Party, and the Creation of the Spaceway to the Planet Mars. Also: The Quintessentialist and the Last Resort.

Brand Willis (brandyllyn) says: By the time he gets back to the silverfish theyre going to be flying about in hovercars.
Jeremy Berg (pisceneanteater) says: Dude, I love the surly mushrooms. Freakin’ love ’em. I’d so buy a plush surly mushroom, hint-hint.
John Vertical (tropylium) says:
This is starting to look more and more like a shaggy dog story. Or an impending crossover with The Repository of Dangerous Things…
Anyway,
Yay goombas; but shouldn’t they be dotless?
“We”? How does one quantify wave monsters?
To me the fish doesn’t look like having robotic/insectoid feet as much as being attached to the machinery by levers. Not sure if that’s more or less creepy.
What the zark is the background in the last panel? Floating platforms in a cavern, with frosting?
Shaenon Garrity (shaenongarrity) says: ….the zombie heads are a total Bill Holbrook reference, aren’t they?
Only if they then say, “As zombie heads, we are heads that have been zombified,” and one of them marries one of the fanged carnivorous mushrooms. Who turns out to be a bunch of silverfish in disguise, thus shocking the zombie head community, but the zombie head who objects most zealously to their union is secretly in the closet about having a body, and when the couple’s zombie/silverfish/mushroom daughter who’s also a supergenius discovers the truth, she and her vegetarian cobra boyfriend come up with a blackmail plot…
I’ve spent way too much of my life reading webcomics.
Jeffrey Channing Wells (channing) says: Shaenon, stop giving away the rest of our dang scripts!
Tiff Hudson (tiff_hudson) says:
It’s time for Tip to go back upstairs and let Unity handle this one.
Ryan Boes (thatguy) says: Politics can always be circumvented by guns.

and by this time, Tip has been at this for about a week.
Tip should probably have brought rations.
