      And should, for disrespecting Tip’s hair.

    Again, Tip gives back as good as he gets. Almost.

    Now I’m waiting for Tigerlily, the Transgenic League, and the mail lady to show up. Maybe even a Weird Al cameo.

      Look at it this way: all these guys could be Swamp Copies. They make nice with Tip, they get airlifted out as a rescue, and the Infiltration phase of H. T.’s operation has begun.

        Aside from Daphne, they probably are Things. There doesn’t seem to be a reason for Sparkle to leave her pack in Alaska and come here after all, much less any of the others. The base looks could come from H.T.’s memory.

    You turn your ears to me,
    But you don’t say hello.
    I tell you who I am.
    I thought that you would know.
    Though it’s a living hell,
    I thought you knew me well,
    But you don’t know me.

    No, you don’t know the guy
    Who was a wolf throwback.
    I work with Skin-Horse now,
    It’s kind of Sweetheart’s pack.
    Oh, I’m just a guy,
    No matter how it looks,
    But you don’t know me.

    For I thought I knew
    The art of making love,
    Though I never thought I’d go for you.
    Alarmed at heart,
    I let my chance depart,
    A chance we could have made it, too.

    You turn your ears to me,
    But then you have dismissed.
    And you insult my hair.
    I’m getting really pissed.
    You wear the Cone of Shame,
    To you, we’re all the same,
    And you don’t know me.

    —from “You Don’t Know Me,” Cindy Walker and Eddy Arnold.

    But shouldn’t the sense of smell rather than eyesight be what matters to dogs? o_O

      Does Tip experiment with scents?

        Given how he’s been kidnapped, imprisoned, and forced into a swamp at bomb-collar-point, he probably smells a lot like every other human who spends enough time here.

      I’ve heard of people not being recognized by their dogs simple from changing hair color or wearing hat and glasses. Kind of funny… especially when some of these actually have two dogs in which one still recognizes them and the other doesn’t.

        Since dogs are color-blind it seems odd that changing hair color would make a person unrecognizable to them.

          Dogs aren’t fully colorblind – they see a more limited range of colors than we do, but they do still see a range of yellow, blue, and violet.

          They can’t really differentiate orange, red, and green, and see them as if they were shades of yellow or blue. But they can still tell that certain color changes have happened, and they can always tell a darker shade from a lighter one.

          If a blond person put on a blue hat or wig, that would be immediately obvious to a dog. Likewise, even though dogs see reds and oranges as if they were yellows, a darkly redheaded person bleaching their hair blond is still going to be noticeable because it will appear a lighter shade. But if the same redhead dyed their hair green, a dog might not notice if the overall shades were similar enough.

    Yeah! How dare you! You know Tip’s hair is sensitive!

      As sensitive as Fang, the sentient hairdo last seen on Vicka from St. Charlie?

      She’ll be completely right when Weird Al shows up.
