    Perhaps the distinction is that these two are mostly human, with some modifications.

      Maybe they’re just not as tasty.

        Don’t say that around Tip, he’ll start another insufferable comeback before being shouted down by the others.

    Dammit. Every time I see the word ‘bubbe’ my brain goes “boo-bay” because that’s the sort of linguistics I’me superaccustomed to.

      I always want to read it as the alternate form “bubbie”, because of an old half-remembered line from Rugrats that burned it self into my brain for some reason.

      -filling out paperwork-
      “Great grandmother’s maiden name?”
      -thoughtful pause-
      “We always just called her bubbie!”

        In my family it tended to be spelled bobbie, despite the potential for confusion.

      Look up the letter chet some time. Not only does the ch transliteration get read wrong if not expecting it, I’ve known folks who physically cannot pronounce the thing to save their lives. It’s either h or violently clearing their throat, nothing in between.

        The word “chutzpah”, for example, is pronounced like someone coughing up and spitting out a huge loogie.

    This supports the Anasigma theory. They are exploiting the fact that for humans to have nightmares about their parents is considered normal while for mad science creations, it is alarming and frightening.

    Brain him anyway, Nick.

    Sadly, the restraint in rampage promotes Foot-Face to number 1 suspect for mutilations since Unity *likes* Nick and Tip. Perhaps it’s her “Monster from the Id”?

      You assume she has an Ego and Superego to start with.

      So long as it can’t draw on the power of the Krell and burn through those closed doors…

    Once again, I need help to get Nick’s punchline. What’s with “uneven wrists”?

      Perhaps because, in some ways of thinking, perfection and beauty are equated with symmetry.

      Tip has long considered his wrists his one imperfection.

    What if it’s Pavane, coming to get them for a trip to Lovetron?

    Aaaand the psychic broadcast being heavier on the “swarm of bees” than “friendly!” by accident?

      Been wondering about that. Been awhile since we heard she was coming.

      By accident? Considering Gavotte’s admonition to Sweetheart about the kind of “help” Pavane was likely to provide, I doubt it would be an accident.

    By the bygraves, I see that Nick’s shirt says “Knuttin’ Atoll” with a “K.” “Beware the extra ‘K’…”

      “What’s that off the east coast of Jambalaya Island”?
      “Knuttin Atoll.”
      “What do you mean? I can clearly make out several small islands! What is that?”
      “It’s Knuttin Atoll!”
      “…do you mean there’s nothing there?”
      “No, there’s something there all right! Knuttin Atoll!”
