Oh, hey, I think we’ve just discovered Nick’s superpower, and it’s the exact opposite of Tip’s! In more ways than just the obvious—recall that Nick Chopper became tin because he loved Nimmie Ammee, and went on a quest to get her back. For that matter, Nick became Emperor of the Winkies, so princess might not be that much of a stretch.
“Coming soon to a theatre near you—I Was a Virgin for the FBI.
Lets hope that Skin Horse Nick succeeds in getting the girl he became ‘tin’ for.
Since poor Nick Chopper didn’t.
She was with the cobbled together parts of the Tin Man and the Tin Soldier.
Not that farfetched a movie idea, after I Was A Zombie For the FBI. (Real movie! I saw it once, long ago, and have been trying to find a copy ever since!)
And it’s almost a statistical certainty that at least a few parts of Unity don’t come from virgins. I don’t know which, but I doubt it matters to the Whimsies.
I’ll confess that I am wondering if Sweetheart will get turned human at some point. I mean, it’s not like Artie doesn’t know where Helen keeps the transmogrification gun.
Nope, Sweetheart isn’t a virgin. We learned in “Big Bad Wolves” that she had sex with Captain’s Fancy Wintertime Snugglebuddy, aka Buddy (http://skin-horse.com/2009/captain-sighed-the/).
Nick, we beg and plead,
You’ve got what we need!
Much adoration from Whimsy nation,
You can survive the hard radiation!
[CHORUS:]
You’re the one who can get us in!
Nicky, you’re the one who can help us win!
You’re the one that we all agree,
Nicky, you’re more princess than me!
Chasing too much tail
Really made me fail!
Speaking of nookie, you’re still a rookie!
Just face the facts, Zerhakker, now lookie! [repeat CHORUS]
You we’re choosing!
At romance, you’re losing
So you could pass the test!
Get inside now!
I’ll swallow my pride now
And say that you’re the best!
Yes, yes, yes, yes …
[instrumental solo by Dr. Lee]
As for purity,
You’ve got more than me!
Yes, you can win there! You’ve got no sin there!
Put on the dress and get your butt in there! [repeat CHORUS]
To hearken back to his conversation with the unicorn, a line once again comes to mind; “Real men aren’t afraid to wear skirts when they are called for.”
There are two punchlines here, but what really cracks me up? “Hush.” (I use the word like this sometimes myself- but I’m pretty sure I picked the habit up from an earlier Skin Horse or Narbonic strip)
Technically, very technically, they have two actual girls on the team.
Except one is a intelligent, talking dog, which by the Whimsies rules, makes her a funny animal companion. (Which is why they might be sporting teeth marks in the near future.)
And the other one, well, her femininity may be a matter of percentages. Some section of her body may have come from men, large portions of her mind came from Tom & Jerry cartoons.
You know you have a freaky team when the zombie and the dog count as “actual girls.” I’d say Nickolet’s as close to the mark as they are.

I think my great grandad had some tin choppers.
Not that farfetched a movie idea, after I Was A Zombie For the FBI. (Real movie! I saw it once, long ago, and have been trying to find a copy ever since!)
Yes, Nick, but one of them is always naked.
And it’s almost a statistical certainty that at least a few parts of Unity don’t come from virgins. I don’t know which, but I doubt it matters to the Whimsies.
I’m gonna go the bobcat ears. Cats tend to be volumes less shy than humans when it comes to virginity.
I’ll confess that I am wondering if Sweetheart will get turned human at some point. I mean, it’s not like Artie doesn’t know where Helen keeps the transmogrification gun.
I can’t imagine Sweetheart *wanting* to be human. Which does make it fairly likely to happen, yes.
I was going to say… The talking animals already eliminated Unity, so if we eliminate Nick, Sweetheart is the only one left.
Sweetheart as a human is the logical counterpoint to Tip as a wolf. Also, would make her crush on Unity more interesting.
Nope, Sweetheart isn’t a virgin. We learned in “Big Bad Wolves” that she had sex with Captain’s Fancy Wintertime Snugglebuddy, aka Buddy (http://skin-horse.com/2009/captain-sighed-the/).
From “Particle Man”, They Might Be Giants.
Ladies man, ladies man
Wooing girls he only can
Why a dress? It’s to impress
Ladies man…
He know posh, he know sex
Purity he doesn’t get
Making pig very upset
Kinky man, Ladies man…
Princess man, princess man
Nick hates being princess man
They have a fight, Tip win
Princess man
Robot man, robot man
Actually built from a garbage can
Started as a brain in spam
Robot man
Why a girl? Why he stews?
Does he even look like a jew?
How much money did the gov’t spew?
Robot man
Princess man, princess man
Nick just wants to play Megaman
They have a fight, Nick is
Princess man
Now if you’ll excuse me. I need to take a shower to wash this shame off.
Leave some hot water for me, Andrew.

“But . . .”
“Nick, what about this situation makes you think you have a choice in the matter?”
“Okay, but this is BULK SUGAR, you know that?”
There are two punchlines here, but what really cracks me up? “Hush.” (I use the word like this sometimes myself- but I’m pretty sure I picked the habit up from an earlier Skin Horse or Narbonic strip)
Huh? “Hush” is being used absolutely correctly and normally.
As good a setup as any, I suppose…
To the tune of “Hush, little baby”
Hush little Nick, though it seems absurd,
we totally meant what you overheard,
So drop your objections, put on this dress,
we’re gonna turn you into a princess,
Hush little Nick now, you’ll do just fine,
you’re the one to get us out of this bind,
Lessons will start at the crack of dawn,
Princess boot camp is totally on.

I thought the Smurfs helped form her psyche – Recall that her first assault upon Dr. Lee involved the purple smurf episode.
Those silliness goalposts are motorised these days, aren’t they?
I remain impressed by Nick’s greater sensitivity to Sweethearts girlness (and I’m not talkin’ ’bout her Happiest Place on Earth) than Wilkin.
