In both that strip and this one, her nose is less prominent. And in this one, she’s got a bust (though that might possibly be part of the costume). But yeah, they obviously closely resemble one another.
Oh, he will. But what kind of older brother would Nick be if he didn’t tease her a bit after finding her like this? I’m sure he’ll apologize later, in his own way. 😀
VR world, all of us guys, see a humdinger.
‘Cause her hair is golden fun,
And her wand can atomize.
When she speaks, image maintained, like a humdinger.
Bright pink dress that fits so right.
She’s full in charge, shows us delight.
When she comes by, she terrifies the neighborhood.
Oh, we could die, would she lash out, we know she would.
We know she could.
Whimsey World graphic design, pretty humdinger.
And we can see she’s well-endowed.
Her brother Nick will laugh out loud.
Pretty humdinger,
Pretty humdinger.

Yes she is, yes she is, graphic design.

I know it’s off Magical Princess Topic, but her calling the VR “your forever home” raises some questions to me. How sturdy is this small-enough-to-fit-on-a-regular-desktop server? Should Nick be sitting on it? What is it using for a power source? Is it currently on battery power, and if so how long lasting are it’s batteries?
I’m betting that Baron Mistyshorts is either completely ignorant of the server’s true mad science capabilities, or has been bullshitting everyone so he could stage a death match for his own twisted amusement.
Now I get the feeling that she told the Baron to go out and “decide” who gets uploaded, but she forgot to give him any specifics on how. The Baron always thought running a bloodfight would be cool, but he didn’t think it through.
She was probably thinking something like a lengthy EULA, but with a trick clause near the end, so only those who read the whole thing would know how to get in.
If he were, he would have used “y’all” in that sentence (subject position). “Y’alls” (or “y’all’s”) is the possessive (cf. “your”), along with “y’allses” (c.f. “yours”).
Nick had lived in Philly for at least four years prior to being “recruited” by A-Sig, but there’s been no indication of where he grew up. He may indeed have southern roots.
Michigan, INDEED!
Nick might be from Kentucky. He’s got the mouth for it and the Commonwealth has a substantial Jewish population.
Plus, we built a monument to “Y’All”.
When slacker teens feel the need to feel pretty.
It’s alarming how charming she feels.
Come on, Nick. It’s not like you never wore a pretty princess dress.
I think that’s why he finds this all so amusing.
am I the only one who thinks this looks like duplicate Nick wearing a dress? I mean Aimee kind of looked different despite being a gendered duplicate.
Other than being an inch or so shorter (which she still appears to be), and y’know, the obvious long hair, Aimee looks almost exactly like Nick.

In both that strip and this one, her nose is less prominent. And in this one, she’s got a bust (though that might possibly be part of the costume). But yeah, they obviously closely resemble one another.
High levels of testosterone causes the nose to become more prominent during puberty. Hence Nick’s nose being bigger than Aimee’s.
That is the happiest expression I’ve ever seen on Nick. Be nice to your sister, dude.
That’s what I was thinking, mind you, it was harder to tell when he was a helicopter.
Hey, wait a minute. If Nick “self-identifies” as an attack helicopter, why wasn’t his avatar in the virtual world always an attack helicopter?
Catch the “Up in Aimee’s Room” segments of Nick’s last stay in VR Whimsey World—he was the cutest chibi helicopter there ever was.
Oh, he will. But what kind of older brother would Nick be if he didn’t tease her a bit after finding her like this? I’m sure he’ll apologize later, in his own way. 😀
Hey, when you have a mind-controlling princess crown, you’ve just got to adapt the rest of the ensemble to suit.
Nevermind that it’s VR, or that the crown’s all an Emperor would need to be well-dressed…
> “the crown’s all an Emperor would need to be well-dressed…”
Well if you can’t see the rest of the outfit, that says something about you…
And that’s why we have “Biscuit is cross” http://skin-horse.com/comic/03152009/
This *needs* to be a stretch goal book. It also needs a sequel… “Biscuit Meets Mr. Flibble”…
Nick is torn between the urge to snark and how happy he is that one of his instances gets to be the pretty princess.

Yes. Good. Perfect.
Fine work, Mr. Nowall.

We found a princess! Can we keep her? Pleeeeease?

Either that, or she did tell him how to do it, and he decided to do the bloodfight anyway. One way or the other, he’s fubar.
What if…
What if it was her idea all along? o.o
No one is going to OUT-Princess Nick. Not even his twin.

I’ve noticed that Nick says “Y’alls” a lot. Is he from the American South east? I didn’t think there were a lot of Jews in Dixie.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judah_P._Benjamin, third Secretary of State for the Confederate States of America.
I first read about him in Harry Turtledove’s Guns of the South…
If he were, he would have used “y’all” in that sentence (subject position). “Y’alls” (or “y’all’s”) is the possessive (cf. “your”), along with “y’allses” (c.f. “yours”).
Not necessarily. People do make grammar mistakes even within the context of their regional dialect.
Your daft, man. Their are no mistake made in they’re dialect grammaratically. Ever.
*Evar.
I’all Dunno where y’all learned to conjugate y’all, but w’all say that’all different around these’all parts.
It’s claimed that Nick is from Philly…but it’s also claimed that people from Philly say “youse” and not “y’all.” So I don’t know.
Nick had lived in Philly for at least four years prior to being “recruited” by A-Sig, but there’s been no indication of where he grew up. He may indeed have southern roots.
That might help account for his sense of alienation.
Grew up in Missouri, living in California, but after some “y’all” and “howdy”, folk think I am from Texas
What? Like only people from Texas say “y’all” and “howdy”?
I picked up “y’all” from a forty-plus-year sojourn in Florida.
And I picked it up by spending every summer in Arkansas when I was growing up.
People can’t believe I was born and raised in Michigan – home of the most mundane accent in America.
Michigan, INDEED!

Awgie….you’re still a Northern tourist. Locals and long-timers know it’s ARKANSAW.
There ain’t no such thing as ‘Our Kansas’. Never was, nor ever shall be.
Don’t worry. I know perfectly well how it’s pronounced. But I also know how it’s spelled.
Now even Nick is getting in on teasing Nick.
