    Well, at least #3 does exactly what he says…!

    Can we get a gif of the servebot from Fallout 3 trying to serve the cake?

    An old fashioned optical microscope! And I thought Ginny would have some mad-science version in the trunk.

      Those “old fashioned” optical microscopes are still very much in use, they’re a mature and well-tested design. And if Ginny had to, that one could easily be fixed with appropriate materials (and time to realign the optics).

      The question is whether this is the same Swamp instance as originally gave Ginny her “snow day”.

        Plus, they are not dependent on electrical power, unless you’re using one of those new-fangled ones with artificial back-lighting.
        Why, in my day, we could only do our microscopy in well-lit rooms, preferably with a southern exposure…but I digress.
        The kind shown in the illustration would be able to help Ginny differentiate between, say, plant and animal cells. If those samples are not what they appear to be, she would get useful information.
        Does #3 moonlight as a Dalek or something? This part of the story very much reminds me of the Dr. Who episode in which we learned the translations of the Dalek phrases.

    I suppose if you could call someone who dropped things “butterfingers,” that makes Number three a “butterbuzzsaw.”

    So, “Destroy! ‘ is their “Smurf”? (Schtroumpf in the original language.)

    Welp, looks like Uncle Shelby is now the lab assistant by default.

    An innocent reader happening upon Skin Horse for the first time would think, “This comic makes no sense whatsoever!”
    …and they would be right.
    That’s how it was with me and it sucked me right in!
