    OK, this made me crack up, but I can’t share it with anyone because without context it just won’t make any sense… 🙁

    (I’ve tried sharing the whole comic of course, but my friends aren’t too into webcomics at all)

      Some people just have reality blinders…

      Sometimes I have to explain that Tip is bio-sex male (and identifies as such).

    Wait, Sweetheart is the new director of Skin Horse?

      Yeah she got promoted after surviving the VR hell by Mr Green.

    Of course her résumé is a little thin…. Who do I blame for that pun?

    Hitty might do well in accounting.
    Keep the budget in line and such.
    And if someone were to bring in some questionable charges on the expense account… 🙂

      Nah, the position’s already filled: http://www.nuklearpower.com/2009/03/28/warbot_001/

    Assign her to Security – even if she had a computer on her left side, chances are if it crashed or threw up an error, it would promptly be consigned to the recycling bin…

    I am actually curious how Hitty can manipulate a computer to do Excel. Maybe her left arm is extendable? Or would she require an unorthodox table arrangement?

      Wireless connection would be my guess.

      She said she KNOWS Excel; never said anything about being able to actually USE it. Padding thin resume is a go!

      Excel it the relatively efficient robot in the corner.

    Hey, we don’t ask Sweetheart how she does it… Hey, if Gallagher was still performing, she’d be a perfect assistant!

      Not sure how canonical this answer is, but in the bonus story from Volume 2, cartoon!Shaenon asks cartoon!Jeff how Sweetheart can type, and he replies, “Well, you know. Keyboard macros.”

    Y’know, I guess Dr. Lee must’ve plugged the other holes in Hitty’s head, the ones Moustachio drilled to attach himself to her. Ah, well. Two are no longer one.

      Well, we already knew she detached Moustachio’s head, as we saw her carrying it through reception a few days ago.

    I love Sweetheart’s horrified recoil in panel 3 — especialy as she managed to recover fast enough to deliver a punch line.

      In Hitty’s case, a literal punch line 🙂

    From “Bang Bang My Baby Shot Me Down,” Cher—though most of the online sites said Nancy Sinatra.

    With Robot Heaven out of reach.
    Hitty stepped into the breach.
    We were rescued, we were free,
    Smuggled out by Doctor Lee.

    Wam wam, an internship.
    Wam wam, I let it rip.
    Wam wam, I do equip.
    Wam wam, I want an internship.

    Staff position came along.
    Showed them Hitty very strong.
    Skin Horse office worth a blow,
    And closer to Moustachio

    Wam wam, an internship.
    Wam wam, I let it rip.
    Wam wam, I do equip.
    Wam wam, I want an internship.

    Out of normal comfort range,
    Hitty find it massive strange,

    Hitty put on best-face gloss
    For interview by Skin Horse boss.
    She saw that Hitty pounded well,
    And learned that Hitty knew Excel.

    Wam wam, an internship.
    Wam wam, I let it rip.
    Wam wam, I do equip.
    Wam wam, I want an internship.

    Also: Hitty may know Excel, too bad Excel knows her too… well enough to Run Away on sight!

    Hey! I have a 4 pound crack hammer, and I know Excel, too!

    Should we ask about the police who were chasing the Leemobile? Wonder what gadgets Dr. Lee “was testing” in it…

    So glad to see Hitty again 😀

    Okay, Hittie and U.N.I.T.Y. in the same office might just be begging for trouble.

    Although the two of them would have a blast. (The rest of us would just be blasted.)

    Man, Hitty would make a great judge! Nobody would wield a gavel with more authority than her!

    Oh, it’s Hitty because the robot hits things. I get it now!

    Dial down the intensity of that right arm, and Hitty would be great for rubber-stamping forms and such.

      Bold of you to assume Hitty has more than one setting for hitting things
