Ah man, I was hoping for a more dramatic speech when that was brought up, starting with “but Dr. Jones don’t you see? /You’ve/ become the man,” and then bring up how making people (mostly robots) act and behave a certain way is hypocritical and then end with Dr. Jones saying “dang you’re right I have become the man”. So yeah I’m kinda disappointed with how they pulled that off, I guess they were just trying not to be trite. Also this site wouldn’t let me leave a comment earlier.
I guess we’re supposed to assume that the baton-thingy comes with some sort of zappy power when it hits things, [1] since “can’t see right in front of her nose” =/= “can be knocked out by the equivalent of a child wielding a Popsicle stick” – she’s bigger than an elephant, and traditionally the weakness of dragons is soft bellies, not glass chin/n/noses.
I wonder if the Dane is going to get to the roof with his doomsday device? He’s going to have to deal with two Vengeful Rage zombies, albeit one of them with his head held on with staples.
[1] Unless the authors are getting seriously lazy. 🙂
Well, I take back my objections. Anything with that level of funk power, assembled from plans taken from the Devil him/her/itself, is going to have effects on _anyone_ it hits..
(Maybe Tigerlily should hit herself with the pimpstick to reset her mojo?)
Another weakness of dragons is pfeffernusse – which can be rather embarrassing when the powdered sugar gets all over their noses. Then, they show up for a major confrontation but their opponents are all pointing and laughing.
OF COURSE Lifts and Platforms and nine-inch heels, all glittery, stylish, and light reflective. And tall. And you should see how the dresses flow – like a permanent breeze.
She still has to find the Department of Temporal Anomalies before she sits on her own car. It’s no wonder her insurance won’t pay for damage caused by the owner of the car after being turned into a dragon.
She’s been The Man since she started hating on her own creations for their personal style and threatening to enslave robots who didn’t hip to her jive.
Oh the sweet, succulent, fall off the bone true irony!
…And THAT is what a verbal disarm looks like, folks.
Wow. Point to Chris. Didn’t see that one coming.
Seriously?
Let me clarify: I didn’t see it coming from *Chris.*
HA!
Um. I dunno. The Woman! ? Cause, dude, that is *not* a man.
The Man, not a man.
And saying that a woman can’t be The Man is sexist.
Don’t be sexist. Bitches hate that.
Don’t drag Sweetheart into this.
Sweetheart, according to Tigerlily, is also The Man, which proves BRGR’s point.
Thank you.
I was actually referring to the fact that Sweetheart is of the female canine persuasion, but yeah okay.
I am inexplicably reminded of the “you are a god” scene in Groundhog Day.

There’s only so much panel space, alas. Long dramatic speeches and the four panel punchline-mandatory format don’t mix well.
Sorry you had difficulty commenting! Hope it’s consistently resolved now.
Wit in brevity.
The site hasn’t let me leave a comment in years…
Okay, I guess it’s fixed! Hooray!!!
Hooray!
Kudos to whoever it was that called this twist (there seems to be a lot of that around here recently.)

Baton-thingy? That’s Tigerlily’s clockwork pimpstick according to http://skin-horse.com/comic/todays-comic-837/
It can beat soul into the Man, apparently, but it seems to have other effects on dragons.

I can make simple repairs to my gear with needle and thread. Or I could be another of Nick’s “head toters”.

Also, keep in mind she DID just mutate. Has to take a lot out of a person, abruptly turning into a dragon and all.
I bet The Dane’s doomsday device sends you back in time so that you accidentally sit on your own car.
A grandfather-paradox-machine? Yet more evidence he’s a Timelord!
Wait, The Dane wants to kill *everybody*.
*Everybody*. I don’t think that’s limited to people in the building or on the same continent or even people who alteady exist…
Temporal shenanigans ahoy! Let’s irradiate the primordial ooze!
“The centuries that divide me will be undone!”
“Duggan! That may well have been the most important punch in history!”
“What a marvellous butler. He’s so violent!”
Can anyone join in on this conversation or do you need a certificate?
*surruptitiously passes james a dvd of Doctor Who: City of Death*
*Fasts forward to the scene where Duggan says that quote.*
the dane = scp-682 ?
Manifesta didn’t even attack anyone. Pre-emptive strike FTW.
All the dude wanted was his carpet back.
If she’s lording it over the little people, is she that much taller than them? Lifts? Platforms?
More that she’s standing on top of a tall building and talking to people by way of a 40 foot hologram, I think.

“No! I must kill The Man” she shouted
Chris said “No, Dr. Jones. You are The Man”
And then Jones was a square.
Copies of this comic should be sent to universities across the western world.
Who would read it to them?
She’s been The Man since she started hating on her own creations for their personal style and threatening to enslave robots who didn’t hip to her jive.
