You’ll be a princess, Captain Tip!
Don’t give me any of your lip!
I’ll make you dainty, and so demure!
Yes, I’ll make you a princess, for sure!
You’ll be a princess, you will see!
Clad in a gown that’s Graded-Z!
You’ll look so lovely, in lace and lead,
If you don’t let it go to your head!
Manners, and posture, and more …
I’ll make you the belle of the re-actor core!
You’ll be a princess, maggot scum!
I’ve got you underneath my thumb!
One day of training, not two or three,
And a genuine princess you’ll be, you see,
Yes, a true Whimsy Princess you’ll be!
We few, we happy few; we band of princesses;
For he who dons his lead and taffeta with me
Shall be my princess. Be he ne’er so vile;
This day shall gentle his condition;
And princesses in Whimsy now abed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That dressed with us upon this princess’ day!
Skin Horse has the best community of all webcomics I read (Comic-Nation says 100, but I’m sure some must be duplicate mirrors). It’s the only one where I not only read the comic, but also take my time to read the comments (I did so in Narbonic too, but the Director’s Cut is now sadly finished).
Snub little noses and cute little mittens,
Got to be cuter than boots full of kittens.
Tip has to get Mary’s approval stamp,
These are such things taught in Whimsy boot camp!
When the files, can only be,
Seen by princesses.
Tip opens a few of his traveling bags,
And fishes out his dress-es.
This. Yes.
“Something went wrong in the lab today… something very wrong”. Yes, I am afraid, I am very afraid!
Just one question, will the radiation, or the cuteness, kill us first! 🙂
Cuteness. The radiation will take three days to kill, the cuteness can strike without mercy in a nanosecond.
Love the quote, it should be the motto for the entire series.
Note to self: watching old X-Files dvds and then checking here isn’t conductive to mental health & well being.
Those are kind of overrated in a world of MAD SCIENCE!!!!
psst …. Patera.
See those links over to the right?
the “More by Shaenon” section
click on the “Monster of the Week” link. You won’t be dissapointed 😉

Oh my. If an X-file fan takes in that much awesomeness in one go, it could be catastrophic. BRING A TOWEL, PATERA!!
Mmmmm, chicken…
I never met Colonel Sanders, but I saw him at a distance a few times.
Many thanks for the advice! Hilarious!
He really has. Eee!
Tip will join the fantastic and wonderful creatures of Fairyland and march to the Lead Castle to meet the King and Queen.

I think… I think I have fallen in love with this plot line. *fangirl squee*
I’ll bet Whimsy Princess Boot Camp has the cutest jodies ever.

Sometimes I forget that Tip was in the army…

Tip for Whimsy! Shaenon and St. George!
You sir, for today, win the internet.
*Snorfl Snorfl* What is that enchanting aroma? Oh, I know. I smell a montage coming this way. Yay!
jdreyfuss: Awesome sauce filk. Now that scene will be forever be tied up with ribbons and dresses for me. and a tiara.
Y’know, I only read Skin Horse for the reader commentary & filks – – –
though the comic is good too!
(Just kidding Shaenon & Jeff)(no, really, I like the comic)
(Jeff, put down that sharpened pencil! OMG Shaenon,
how did you talk Mel into sharing leftover Narbonic weaponry?
Is that a gerbil inseminator?!?!)
oh – and I always thought I was the only one…

I see shaenon & jeff did their research.
