    Keep your mind on what’s important, Nick. And try to remember what she was saying, too.

    Not too hard to figure out Nick’s favourite feature on Virginia’s body. This isn’t the first time he’s been distracted by her chest.

      Yeah…who was the psych who said, “Agressives are drawn to breasts, depressives to butts, and then there are leg-men.” ? Actually, Nick and I probably have the same
      plan:”Catch-as-catch-can.” Start where you can, NIck. I think the ‘fix’ is in this time.

    Prediction: Nick will discover the seats ARE comfy, transpose his senses into the whirlygig, rescue everyone – and not know how to return to his human body!

    Virginia: “Nick, are you watching?” / *SMACK*

      Ira was going to take the seats; they may not be there for him to get comfy in.

        This isn’t the same whirlygig, I think? It has guns, and Virginia DID find an empty brain case whirlygig in teh other Anasigma base?

    Ehh, he got the gist of it.

    Clearly Tip is going to have to break out the therapy puppets to demonstrate to Nick and Virginia what they need to do, so they can get on with it. Otherwise, Nick may remain permanently broken.

      There might be some hope. But they’ll have to bring in a new therapist.

      “Therapy puppets” is clearly the best-ever euphemism for breasts.

    Virginia certainly doesn’t need the puppets. Maybe she could BORROW them to use with Nick. It DOES strain credulity, though. It would literally be easier to start a fire
    by rubbing two sticks together than those two. I await the denouement in cheerful
    curiosity as to means.

      Dr. Lee: “Nick, you know I’m evil. I try to be good, but I can’t help myself!”
      Dr. Lee: (putting her fingers to his lips) “I don’t deserve you. But I want you.”
      Dr. Lee: “I have another confession. I added a new control phrase to your medulla oblongata…” (Nick’s eyes grow wide in shock)
      Dr. Lee: (exterior view of Osprey) “Banana Split!” / Nick: “Holey Moley!”

    She said she’s going to the airstrip, Nick, remember? That’s where you want to be. So go, already!

      I sincerely hope Ginny soon reiterates her sentiments from panel 3 in another context!

      Ginny was already looking for someone to keep it up as long as Nick does back then.

    Nick is doing his best to keep abreast of the situation.

      Looks like the situation’s a bust.

    Nick is BIG for 13-14! (Ah those crazy days of the past!)

      Nick is only around 5’4″. He’s about the right size for 14. Too bad for him that he’s closer to 30.

        Given the arc of his life, it’s probably been quite a while since Nick has had to shop in the boy’s department.

        Height never limited Mickey Rooney.

          I got nothing against short people, but Mickey Rooney was married 8 times. That’s not exactly something I’d brag about. If you want to brag on someone short, try Gary Burghoff. Only married twice, and was with his second wife for 20 years.

          • Robert Nowall

            Yeah, but one of them was Ava Gardner.

            Big deal. She was just the first of many. Married her when he was 21, and divorced a year later. Still nothing to brag about.

            David B Huber: I’m not that familiar with Mickey Rooney myself, but Wikipedia claims that his height was the reason why he wasn’t offered leading roles in films after the Second World War. He still achieved a lot after he stopped playing teenagers, but not as much as some of his contemporaries.

            I don’t know how his height affected his private life, but that’s not what he was famous for.

    Boobs are the plan. The plan is boobs.

    I see Nick is still struggling with having glands and such again.

    And judging from the fading text Nick’s brains have already been schlorped out.

      No, the brains are still there. They’ve just turned into pudding.

    (blinks) Huh? Wasn’t there supposed to be a fourth panel to this comic? 😉
