I dunno. I mean, remember what happened when Madblood and Dave finally had time to converse with each other? It took less than an hour for a nerd argument to start and Nick is way more naturally offensive than either of them.
Heck, he’s probably already insulted both Dave and Madblood on one internet forum or another.
Working through The Zombies’ hits (and, really, Rod Argent has never gotten enough credit for his songwriting chops), here’s “Tell Her No” (www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezSMbQKQEJI):
Since you badmouthed my slumber parties
And you’re a rude mechanical
I say “Har, har, har, har, har, har, har, har
Har, har, har, har, har, har, har, har
Har, har, har, har, har”
‘Cause Artie’s here, and we’re talking ’bout the Bard
I may have had a drink, or twenty
And I can’t walk without some help
I say “Har, har, har, har, har, har, har, har
Har, har, har, har, har, har, har, har
Har, har, har, har, har”
Don’t harsh my buzz, ’cause you’re not the boss of me
You know that I care about
The zombie mayhem threat
But a girl needs some fun
Don’t dis me Nick, don’t dis me Nick
Tomorrow I’ll be in Colma
Plipping out brains to save the day
‘Til then “Har, har, har, har, har, har, har, har
Har, har, har, har, har, har, har, har
Har, har, har, har, har”
Just let me be with my hot new friend Artie
The bonus (text) story that went out to supporters of the last Skin Horse Kickstarter covered this. The fact that Nick ended up spending the time alone with Ginny wasn’t Artie’s plan, however.
Well, I hope Virginia won’t get sick
From the evening she has had …
When she gets a call from Chopper Nick,
Then she seems a trifle mad!
‘Cause he dissed her slumber party
And she took it kind of hard …
Now she’s hanging out with Artie
And they’re talkin’ ’bout The Bard,
Yeah, she’s hanging out with Artie
And she’s letting down her guard!
[CHORUS:]
When you need a quote that’s highbrow,
Only one will do the trick!
So she’s throwing out a Shakespeare line,
Giving grief to Nick!
Something, I guess, from Willie S. …
(Hope she don’t get sick!)
She is quoting Queen Titania
From the first scene of Act Two …
Though she’s with the guy that’s brainier,
She says, “Nick, I thought of you!
So relax, no need to panic, I’ll
Be home when I so choose …”
They call Nick a rude mechanical,
And he kind of feels the blues!
Yeah, this rude and crude mechanical
Thinks her new friend is bad news! [repeat CHORUS]
Now I can’t get the image of a helicopter with an ass’s head out of my brain. I didn’t think that Skin Horse could go any farther into meta-fiction, but here it’s happened. Artie clearly made a compound joke out of the fact that one of the “rude mechanicals” was Nick Bottom.
A Midsummer Night’s Drink(ing Binge)
Trust me, Nick – you DON’T want to know his parents.
I think Nick and Artie’s stepdad would get along.
I dunno. I mean, remember what happened when Madblood and Dave finally had time to converse with each other? It took less than an hour for a nerd argument to start and Nick is way more naturally offensive than either of them.

How do mad scientist nerds like Dave and Madblood not spend all their time tracking down and destroying people who piss them off online?
Easy. If you destroy the entire eastern seaboard, chances are you’ll get at least five on them at once. It’s all about efficiency…
Usually with software that I could charge ridiculous sums of money to debug, back before I got eaten by zombies.
On the other hand, they do have common ground in regards to the whole brain in a vehicle thing.
How long have you been saving up rude mechanical line? (Although probably easier to fine someone to play Thisbe amongst the Skin Horse crew)
Sooth, but the best I might manage is to be a rude mechanic… and that is hardly such a thing to even take note, much less make jest of…
mnem
Jeebus… is this what I sound like when I get drunk and nerd-bloviate all over the place?

No, but you do know him. IIrc, he’s your councilor and helped arrange your birthday party so you could spend it alone with Dr. Lee.
I thought I knew this strip inside and out, but I think I missed something. Artie is Nick’s councilor? I’m drawing a blank on Nick’s birthday, too.

Does he?
Drunk Dr. Lee is possibly second only to “Science!”-Mode Dr. Lee for the title of Best Dr. Lee.
Clearly, we need Drunk “Science!”-Mode Dr. Lee to make an appearance.
My god, she could conquer all of California! We [i]definitely[/i] need to see Drunken Science Dr. Lee!

Virginia blushes-22
Drunken flush, not a blush. I won’t count it.
