I just assumed that Gentle Persuasion was lost in the tire fire. But she may have replaced it with an even better Gentle Persuasion. Not more gentle, mind you, but definitely more persuasive.
I suspect Tigerlily has other reasons, but she doesn’t want people to know them. (Her prejudice against non-clockwork machines, for instance. Or that she finds herself being a big softie – by her standards – around Tip.)
One wonders what Aimee and the other AI’s are doing while all this going on. Can they feel the funky rhythm going on around them in their little world?
And I find it isn’t funky,
I find it kind of sad
That the substrate where I’m running
Is the best I’ve ever had.
I find that Tigerlily
Finds our squareness hard to take.
When programs run in circles
It’s a very very
Square world
Square world
Square world
Square world
Tigerlily just gets better with each panel
Lovetron it is not.
Dunno how Aimee would be if she were to hear her world described as “square”.
She would probably reply that technically it’s a rectangle. ^_^
Technically a cuboid.
Rectangular prism, actually.
All the corners are square, at least.
Several rectangles. But depending on which cabinet the server is housed in, two of those rectangles may indeed be squares.
Well, to most outside viewers it’s probably a 16×9 rectangle, depending on your equipment.
I’ll leave quietly.
If she hadn’t taken it away from the late nineties phase…
Panel 3 has a “that that”. Not trying to be a jerk, just thought you might like to know so it can be adjusted.
Just needs a dash to indicate a slight pause: “that – that”
That implies a hesitation. Tigerlily doesn’t hesitate.
It stands to reason that one of the places in that virtual world is
PARIS IN THE
THE SPRING
There we have it. Pavane offered some help, and the Skin Horse gang didn’t like it.
I don’t see Pavane offering anything.
So does that mean they’re going to Kansas now?
I sincerely hope Tip can convince Tigerlilly to accompany them to Pavane’s rally.
For panel Four.
Shame we can’t post that “rim-shot” GIF everyone loves.
And Tip hasn’t even need to apply ‘Diplomacy’.
I was hoping for Unity using Gentle Persuasion…
I just assumed that Gentle Persuasion was lost in the tire fire. But she may have replaced it with an even better Gentle Persuasion. Not more gentle, mind you, but definitely more persuasive.
I wonder if Mel has the Marinia Crystal… Dave could turn it into a laser rifle… “Crystal Blue Persuasion”!
I thought Helen used the crystal as part of the cellular destabilizer.
I suspect Tigerlily has other reasons, but she doesn’t want people to know them. (Her prejudice against non-clockwork machines, for instance. Or that she finds herself being a big softie – by her standards – around Tip.)
Good thing the Baron didn’t spring for a more visually-pleasing case with rounded corners.
So, Aimee lives in what looks like the latest version of an Xbox? Considering her origins, I don’t think she’d have any problems with that.
One wonders what Aimee and the other AI’s are doing while all this going on. Can they feel the funky rhythm going on around them in their little world?
Not without a power source.
I would have expected something that’s half-Whimsy, probably half-madtech to have it’s own interior power source for emergencies.
Sort of a Rube Goldberg perpetual motion generator?
They are being of pure energy, living on a different plane of existence.
They can ture into the Funk around them if they want, but to them it is an artefact from the slow world, not material to them.
And I find it isn’t funky,
I find it kind of sad
That the substrate where I’m running
Is the best I’ve ever had.
I find that Tigerlily
Finds our squareness hard to take.
When programs run in circles
It’s a very very
Square world
Square world
Square world
Square world

Wait, is it…powered?
Commenting from the future:
This strip, and the previous, are very much in contrast to the two strips at the end of Space-Bat-Angel-Dragon.
Very sus, as the kids say these days.
