    (grins) Well that was inevitable.

    Well, THAT took a left turn at Albuquerque!

    Looks like Dr. Wilkin has a Royal Appointment waiting for him as Minister of Makeovers…

      And kudos, Shaenon, for Aimee’s nicely rendered epaulettes! She looks quite jaunty and elegant (or, as Tip put it, “EEEE!”).

        Revolutionary Girl Aimee.

          Or The Aimee of Versailles.

      The third panel must be essentially Tips’ realization of Aimee being Nick’s effectively accessible makeover double, and Aimee’s willful acceptance of that. Nick knows not what alchemy he has unleashed by enabling the meeting of these two!

          I’m not sure if would quite as apocalyptic as it was in the movie, save on a local level.

    There’s only one proper comment for this…

      Yes! With an extra helping of ‘Squeeeeee!’

      Then suddenly all the dogs within a 10 mile radius began barking for no apparent reason.

    Tips’ mojo extends to his virtual self. It is to be feared and respected in awe.

    So Tip and AImee are EEEEI girls?

    Is Tip particularly [1] fond of women who cross-dress? Or is it just general
    enthusiasm for those who enjoy dressing up?

    [1] He’s _generally_ fond of women.

      When Aimee was introduced, didn’t she basically wear an almost-copy of Nick’s clothes – i.e. nerdy tshirt and slacks?

      Was she “cross-dressing” then, or is she “cross-dressing” now?

        Aimee has grown. So has Nick, but he is usually in denial around his old frenemies.

    Actually, it’s Aimee’s outfit I’m digging. I’ve always had a weakness for epaulettes.

      At least Aimee’s not wearing the pouffy pink greeting outfit anymore. http://skin-horse.com/comic/gotten-enough/

      Epaulettes are a bit militant for my tastes, but to each their own I suppose.

      I think the more troubling aspect is how much is looks like something from Revolutionary Girl Utena. Let’s just hope Aimee doesn’t transform into a sports car.

        Why not? Nick identifies as a sweet Osprey.

        They give just the right “doorman” touch to the uniform.

        Yeah- the epaulettes and the rose-seal looking thing clasp at the top had me thinking Utena, too.

    Just read the entirety of Skin Horse up to here in 2 days. It’s been a (highly compressed) ride, and I’m sad it’s coming to an end so soon after I first discovered it. What a really great comic.

      The only solution is to go back and read it again… and again… and again. Even after the story eventually comes to a close, the comic never truly ends as long as you can go back and read it again.

      If you don’t know about Narbonic, now you know.

      (Likewise Girl Genius by the Foglios.)

      I recommend reading Narbonica and the other comics listed at the right under “More by Shaenon.” After which you will need to read Skin Horse again…then Narbonic, then Lil Mell…rinse, repeat, reassimilate…

    Yes, “EEEE!”, but last time they were in there, they got a bit distracted from why they went in in the first place…. Looks like that’s gonna happen again!

    Too busy for intros was she. But delighted and happy to see. A beautiful stranger to be a cosplayer. All either could say, was just “EEEE!”

      He likes him, but Aimee might *like* like him.

      Dig up Duplicate Nick. See if he likes Wilkin, too.

    I really like this strip. I’ve always loved Aimee, whether grungy, princess-y, or revolutionary. She’s not going to let her being a virtual copy get her down. Not every day, at least.

    Oh, I love Aimee’s Utena vibes here
