    The perfect strip for someone who doesn’t like to draw cars.

      He had to make up for the Brutalist architecture.

      How would it be if she were rough?

        six “Wham”s instead of five

        Robet Nowall: She wouldn’t be rough with it. She has a naturally gentle nature.

        Five whams did give Chris a little bit of time to think about how much more sensible the response “No, don’t worry about it.” would have been.

    Hitty has adapted quickly to the giant smasher arm! (makes me think of Bam-Bam Rubble…)

    I suspect the robot was there all along (courtesy of Gavotte’s long-range planning) and discovered by Tigerlilly during her first visit, explaining why she wanted Annex One for her new HQ to begin with. The upgrades Dr. Jones has installed will boggle the mind…

    Hm. Annex One. “The A1 Team”?

      A1 closely resembles AI, Artificial Intelligence. For what it’s worth.

    Skin Horse is a particularly insidious form of propaganda on behalf of our alien insect overlords. Only the facts are true!

    And if the facts aren’t true, we will make them true. Submit cheerfully to the collective, comrade. Good workers thrive in the sugar caves! Thrive! Thrive! Thrive until you are DEAD!

    Just imagine that insurance claim…

    “Dr. Sanders, please describe how the damage occurred.”

    “My car was flattened by a mobile fortress with a penchant for smashing things.”

    “Umm… Phil? How do we classify that? It doesn’t exactly sound like an act of God.”

    “Put it under ‘comprehensive’, Tom. That’s what it’s there for. At least he didn’t try and claim that a dragon sat on it.”

      Now thanks to your mini-fic I think Phil the myna works in insurance.

      As long as he has Farmer’s he’s good. After all, they’ve seen it all.

      Hopefully the paperwork process won’t drag on him like last time.

    Shelby has a flying car. Couldn’t Chris have one of them?

      If Tigerlily Jones lives up to her promise, Chris’s car will be able to take him to Lovetron and back on sixty minutes of winding.

    Spring-powered space car. This I got to see.

      At least a spring-powered space car wouldn’t have the problems of one powered by an internal combustion engine.

        The trick is the coat hanger teleporter. It doesn’t have to go far to get anywhere.

    Fun fact about my brain: nobody in this comic gets a special voice, except for Moustachio. He sounds like Thom Merrilin. I don’t know why it’s done that.

    It was indeed gentle. She had to hit it five times to flatten it. She could have done it in one, but where would be the fun in that?

    At least SOMEBODY gets a space car!! I’ve been waiting for mine ever since “The Jetsons”!

      …and “space car”? Is Tigerlily now sticking to the ten hundred words people use the most often?

        The Shuttle was after the “jive period” and anything with “rocket” in the name was too square. And calling it a yacht like they do in Star Trek would be “The Man”

        If it turned out that it could also function as a car would any of us who got it quibble? ^_^

      I know. I’m still waiting for my flying car, too. And when are we going to get transporters? So unfair!

    I think a “spacecar” is a worthy trade!

    Looks like Hitty has her own way of participating in Whamageddon.

    As a guy who’s attached to his car, I feel for Chris but also have no sympathy; he’s currently riding in a nuclear powered office block! Unless Annex-1 only had underground parking, his car would have been perfectly safe and recoverable at a later date…

    Women continue to destroy men’s cars in the Narboniverse. I’ve missed that running gag.

    Chris, I feel for you man, but look at it this way. You now have the perfect excuse to upgrade. And with Tigerlily riding this high, not even the sky’s the limit on what you can get in your new set of wheels.
