Funnily enough, the guy in the last panel wants a therapist, not a psychologist. Also, the guy in the third panel looks vaguely familiar. Did he cameo in Narbonic?
He’s quite a bit like Lupin Madblood (Or one of his many robot duplicates). However, Madblood would more likely be (trying) to lead a robot attack than running away from one. I also doubt he’d be caught dead without his tie. 😛
Has the dialogue been fixed to reflect Tip’s occupation, or are you referring to the fact that a traumatized person SHOULD want a therapist rather than a psychologist?

I feel trauma!
So much trauma!
All this drama
Has traumatized me!
Want my mama!
Now I’m gonna yell hysteric’ly!
Folks all panic!
See them panic!
Things titanic will panic the throng!
Inorganic,
They’re mechanical and rather strong!
See the robots rampage throughout the mall!
Finding vintage clothes in this store!
Size one-hundred-three,
Try it on and see,
Goodness, could this be
Genuine Dior?!
Robots close now!
Tip’s morose now!
‘Cause he knows he’s supposed to help guys!
With those ‘bots,
He could help them accessorize!
@ Alphaghoul: 80s. Breakfast Club (’85), New Coke (’85), floppy disks (invented 60s, and starting to go into decline by the start of the 80s), that hairdo and slang – hers is pretty obviously a 80s-inspired madness.
I wonder: are all these people reality-enabled, or have attack robots become so much of a thing we’re all expecting to see soon from the defense contractors that even the reality-blind can see them? (On the other hand, if they are funkalicious Tigerlily products, they may be too improbable to be seen, like the Pain Gorilla-bot from the earlier sequence).
Considering that people seem to interpret much more mundane problems as things like alien invasions or zombie attacks with a certain amount of regularity, I think RB may only extend so far.
My theory is that Reality-blinders work like a speeding vehicle racing towards you. You see it. You jump out of the way. Then when you think back on the experience when you heart isn’t beating loud enough to block out the noise around you… You know why you jumped, but you do not know what you jumped from. Just that your life was in danger. After all that vehicle could have been a car or a bus.
Whereas my experience has something like the reverse in reality. Then again, maybe true weirdness is actually kind of rare for all the protagonists are involved. Half are mad and for the others its their job.
I’m listening, as I read this comic, to a podcast about how memory can be skewed. The witnesses probably will be influenced by whatever the authorities want them to believe.
I know of Tip’s angst. When someone on the plane asks “is there a doctor on board?” its NEVER an emergency call to discuss existential issues. No… always something “medical.”

The exact same thing occurred to me about the therapist…
He’s quite a bit like Lupin Madblood (Or one of his many robot duplicates). However, Madblood would more likely be (trying) to lead a robot attack than running away from one. I also doubt he’d be caught dead without his tie. 😛
I thought all the robot duplicates got…er… repurposed
Not all of them. You can see many of them were left at the end of Narbonic (I’m not linking because spoilers).
He looks about halfway between Lupin Madblood and the St Charlie Mad Tech Support guy.

Ah Tip, as wonderfully self involved as always.
He’s a really good listener, isn’t he?
At least he’s cute. SUCH a blonde, but cute.
We’ve all seen this old gag before.
thank you for keeping us updated on your experiance with jokes
I was going to say “speaking of Sweethearts immersion in TV tropes…”. But “We’ve all seen this old gag before” has the same literal meaning.
Yes, you are correct. We have all seen this trope before.
I’m pretty sure “we’ve all seen this old gag before” is also a gag we’ve all seen before

Several thumbs up!
What decade was Debbi supposed to be from?

If reality-blindness resulted in people being unaware of threats to life and limb, it wouldn’t be much of a survival mechanism.
Considering that people seem to interpret much more mundane problems as things like alien invasions or zombie attacks with a certain amount of regularity, I think RB may only extend so far.
A robot has just trashed a court house in another webcomic, Nukees!, and witnesses have not been able to describe what it was.
It’s possible the reality-blind can perceive threats in the moment and then rationalize it differently later.
My theory is that Reality-blinders work like a speeding vehicle racing towards you. You see it. You jump out of the way. Then when you think back on the experience when you heart isn’t beating loud enough to block out the noise around you… You know why you jumped, but you do not know what you jumped from. Just that your life was in danger. After all that vehicle could have been a car or a bus.
Actually, I’m pretty sure the defense contractors themselves are reality blind, ’cause nobody that smart is that stupid. That, or they’re Mad.
Aren’t most people reality-enabled? something like 4 in 5?
Acording to Sweetheart, “About twenty percent of
humans psychologically block things they consider impossible.” (from the filenames)
If it’s only 20%, I can’t see how the giant spike-covered gorilla robot at Walmart avoided notice… 🙂
Because Wal-mart attracts the reality-blind. Seriously though, reality blindness has always been considered the exception rather than the norm.
And honestly, it’s *funnier* that way.

I’m glad to see that this layoff hasn’t affected Tip much.
Wouldn’t it be fine if it were Tigerlilly Jones and some new-made robot minions in the vintage clothing boutique?
Was there ever any doubt?
After I posted, I realized there was no doubt. But they’ve got to keep us guessing…
Tip really needs to learn to listen better.
He’s a psychologist. They listen about as well as ELIZA.

What does that suggest to you?
It suggests this computer needs some percussive maintenance (using a hammer on it).
Can you elaborate on that?
*BAM!* *BAM!* *BAM!* ratatatat…
And how does that make you feel?
You’re not really talking about me, are you?
I know of Tip’s angst. When someone on the plane asks “is there a doctor on board?” its NEVER an emergency call to discuss existential issues. No… always something “medical.”
Read two “Calvin and Hobbes” comics and call me in the morning.
I feel uninspired! I there a cartoonist here?
Panel 5: [exit pursued by a (cybernetic’ly enhanced) lampshade]
Way to fail situational awareness forever, Tip.
Sooner or later the situation is going to sink in, and Tip is going to be completely ticked at himself. There will be much face-palming in his future.
Tip wants something he’ll be paid for. Nobody’s offering him a paid job to deal with the boutique incident.
Perhaps Tip should start by visiting an audiologist….
