    I wonder if Sterling Archer teach Sweetheart the art of the rampage

    Maybe they can also use the internet to crowdfund the money to hire mercenaries. Raising a few million should be easy, right?

    PS – the Sasquatches? I thought they were impossible to find and therefore out of A-Sig’s reach. Did A-Sig find a way to penetrate their defenses, or do they just really want to meet the space bees?

      The Sasquatches have already taken refuge in Kansas, not far from the Anasigma air base which went rogue and is raising the Omega seed from Mother Cypress.

        Man, it’s hard to remember everything with over thirteen years of strips now. Not to mention a whole arsenal of Chekhov’s guns floating around…

          It’ll be fun, when we get to the end and everything’s wrapped up, and we can say, “But what about…?”

            It’ll be even more fun when all of Chekov’s guns go off at the same time.

    Clearly we need to recruit the aid of fifteen thousand identical robots designed in the image of one Professor Lupin “Wolf” Madblood.

      They were destroyed and used to build human suits for intelligent hamsters bent on mass genocide for the greater good of humanity.
      It occurs to me that the Narboniverse is pretty crazy

        Only some of them were.

          Only a couple dozen, at that. There’s *plenty* of identical androids to go around.

            There were at least three at the Great Robot Battledrome that Nick somehow won.

        It occurs to you. Just now.

        You’re aware Narbon’s first line was “Are you the alfalfa delivery man”, right?

          No, it was “Welcome, graduates.” “Are you the alfalfa delivery man” wasn’t even Helen’s first line, just the first thing she says to Dave.

      Lupin ‘Wolf’ Madblood robots would add another elements of ‘wonderfully cute’, wouldn’t they?

      I’m currently re-reading the dead tree Narbonic books and am being impressed -again- at how well scripted, drawn & envisioned ALL of Shaenon’s stories have been/are.

    Aw, c’mon, Claire, you know that rampage is just you.

    That’s a very snuggly Sasquatch there.

      That’s why they have to hide.

    It occurs to me that this is Sweetheart’s opportunity to invade America. She can call up her pack (hopefully without succumbing to the urge to make herself President).

      Okay, but that’s still, what, thirty dogs against A-Sig’s forces, when they’re known to use suitcase nukes? They will need reinforcements, and have the net geeks to look for them.

        I believe 30 Canadian Battle Dogs with augmented strength, endurance, intelligence and healing could hold their own against A.A. and E.B. Especially if guided by a precog with a wrench! 😉

          Just a handful of the dogs were able to defeat an entire town full of werewolves bent on conquering Fairbanks. A-Sig isn’t much – if any – smarter.

    They’re in an awful plight,
    They’re looking for a fight
    But all the residents come off as dorks and clowns.
    It’s hard to get a battle army on,
    In their new town.

    No one could ever beat
    The Killbot corps-d’elite
    Destroyed all comers, right into the ground.
    Now they’re at work on social network posts
    In their new town.

    You remember Dan
    A living-dead from Colma, he
    Was testy, also ornery, he was sad.
    When he was called “Ben Franklin” he got mad.
    Though he never would forbid,
    But he’d tolerate, he did.

    The Sasquatches are there,
    All covered up with hair,
    And with abilities that brought to them renown.
    They’ve joined the Killbots on their gadget keyboards
    In their new town

    There’s Sweetheart still in charge
    And Unity at large
    Who were dating without mating, it went down.
    (I guess I’d better leave this part out)
    In their new town.

    You remember Claire
    A human-zombie liaison
    Dan’s saliva via tongue made her a ghoul.
    It all happened while still living, which was cool
    But could not turn the page
    On her inner zombie rage.

    Nobody’s got their back,
    They’re facing an attack.
    The Anasigma agents are around.
    Oh, yes, the guys are in some trouble
    In their new town

    —from “My Home Town,” Tom Lehrer.

    It’s at the insistence of Claire, with the zombie dead hordes all right there, that they use up her rage and go on rampage—social media, that will take care.
