Actually, the lack of such transition was a major hallmark of the Tip/Artie encounter.
I suspect Shannon and Jeff might use a Tip/Artie/Jones three-way as excuse to just have a multi-week hiatus, if Jeff writes them into a corner at some point.
Considering she hadn’t done it before we just assumed. I mean they really didn’t get into a mess like that when they were together or does their natural mojo just cancel each other out?
2.) Oh, yeah. Bravo is gone, like the good little redshirt Mr. Green always knew he was. Imogene may not be in much better state. That last panel indicates that she’s still breathing, but it’s going to be at least a week before she put together any sort of cognitive thought. Tigerlilly is going to be moving her on autopilot like one of her robots.
Tigerlily should’ve explained the Mojo rules better: The final panel throws everybody appearing in the rest of the strip in bed.
I assume there are probably others too, but that one seems important now. 🙂
Maybe. The plan was to disable Echo Bravo and get them both out afterwards, but there’s no telling how much control Tigerlily had over her mojo after Imogene got involved.
They’re probably still in the same county, anyhow.
See, the first thing it reminded me of was the scene in I Was Kidnapped By Lesbian Pirates From Outer Space (since removed from the Internet) wherein one of the other characters, after having sex with the protagonist for the first time, responds almost exactly like Imogene does here. Well, minus the loss-of-innocence element.
[CHORUS:]
I’m bi now!
Not bi-curious!
Lily’s furious!
Her mojo was too stro-ong!
Virginity, so lo-ong!
I’m bi now!
I’m bi-sexual!
Virtue, shot to hell!
Libido’s been turned o-on!
My hymen now is go-one!
Miss Tigerlily
Said not to peek!
My brain is strong, but
My will was weak!
I saw a man in
His undershirt …
I’ve gone and done, now,
The Deed of Dirt! [repeat CHORUS]
I’m a little concerned by the assumption of Imogene’s innocence in all these posts. Folks, the 50s mojo is a placid surface over deep, deep waters. Imogene will hoist her poodle skirt and body hugging cashmere sweater and carry on with her mad science.
If it weren’t for the fact that she was old enough to attend that convention several years ago (and strong enough to drag Titus with her), this would seem rather disturbing to me. Her 1950’s mannerism’s make her seem a lot younger than she actually is.
Although I know that the next few strips dealing with the aftereffects of Tigerlily’s mojo will be hilarious.
The only part of this strip which bothered me was her reaction to the undershirt. Either that was a sign of the mojo taking effect, or she hadn’t seen as many 50’s movies as we thought.
We don’t really know who did what to whom, in that sequence, so it may be the threesomeness of it that freaked her out.
Undershirts are the ultimate in 1950s beefcake. Troy Donahue favored open sweaters, though.
Speaking of Troy, he is excellent in the John Waters movie “Cry Baby,” which I just saw for the first time. It’s not quite on the level of the original “Hairspray,” but similar in tone, and with an amazing cast.
But what a way to go…
Now we need a splash page as a scene transition. Tiger-lily Jones!
I really want that to be a thing.
Actually, the lack of such transition was a major hallmark of the Tip/Artie encounter.

I wonder how Imogene will be after this. And how she’ll do with Tip.
The world couldn’t handle Tip and Tigerlily, but I’m sure it could handle Imogene and Tip, since the world has survived Imogene and TIgerlily.
the world may survive them sleeping together, but im not sure the world can survive them escaping together
I didn’t know she had Tipps level of mojo •_•
What make you assume she didn’t?
Considering she hadn’t done it before we just assumed. I mean they really didn’t get into a mess like that when they were together or does their natural mojo just cancel each other out?
B!tch please, she had so much mojo in her into chapter that she out-mojo’d Tip without even trying.
Yeah, and I think what we’re looking at here is comparable to what we got when we had Tip’s and Artie’s mojos both going off at once.
Clearly she is straight-up she-Tip. None can resist.
In the words of Captain Jack Harkness: “I can’t begin to tell you what I’m thinking right now!”
So you’re equating the mojos of Tigerlily and Capt. Jack? Thanks for that image. Maybe. Maybe not.
:>D
To be fair, Tip did get that response back in “Dead dogs”
tune: “Bye, Bye, Blackbird,” Ray Henderson & Mort Dixon, 1926
Mister Bravo died of sex
When Ms. Jones doffed her specs
Bye, Bye, Bravo!
With a big hole in his head
Dead in bed, eagle-spread
Bye, Bye, Bravo!
Wasn’t extirpated for his footwear
Impressed Imogene with what he put there
Tigerlily’s mojo wins
Over drones and virgins
Bravo, bye bye!
1.) Excellent effort, Ms. Manifesta.
2.) Oh, yeah. Bravo is gone, like the good little redshirt Mr. Green always knew he was. Imogene may not be in much better state. That last panel indicates that she’s still breathing, but it’s going to be at least a week before she put together any sort of cognitive thought. Tigerlilly is going to be moving her on autopilot like one of her robots.
Well… so much for Imogene the ingenue…
Couldn’t last in a universe with both TIgerlily and Tip.
Maybe she’ll dress up as a greaser girl and start chewing bubble gum!
Please? 😀
Or she’ll become a Hipster (1950s version).
Tigerlily should’ve explained the Mojo rules better: The final panel throws everybody appearing in the rest of the strip in bed.

well, they’re out of the prison at least
aren’t they?
Maybe. The plan was to disable Echo Bravo and get them both out afterwards, but there’s no telling how much control Tigerlily had over her mojo after Imogene got involved.

I think the color palette change is a clue to “they done broke out”.
I’m surprised Tip and TigerLily didn’t produce a singularity while in the same general vicinity.
I think it turned out they cancelled each other out.
Also, Tigerlily has acquired a bathrobe….
Must be a pretty powerful undershirt.
Looks like Imogene just blasted through all of her 1950’s social mores in one go.
Also Miss Jones seems to give her mojo all the credit for what happened with Echo Bravo and Imogene…but does her mojo really deserve all the credit?
(Oh, wait, I forgot. She’s *crazy*…)
I Love that ‘Golly’ expression. Makes me think of that “whole new world” song from Alladin.
I love that “Golly” expression, too. I see images from a host of movies, though.
I was channeling the song more from the wide eyed expression. As in opened a whole new world for her.
See, the first thing it reminded me of was the scene in I Was Kidnapped By Lesbian Pirates From Outer Space (since removed from the Internet) wherein one of the other characters, after having sex with the protagonist for the first time, responds almost exactly like Imogene does here.

What, no cigarette after glow?
Looks to me like Imogene was made of tougher stuff than Tigerlily thought. She’s still alive, conscious, and able to say “Golly” with a straight face.
My guess for the new location is: nearby motel, possibly a hotel.
Is she gonna go about how she’s ruined for marriage next strip? Or is she just gonna roll with it and adapt?
Well, good thing she’s already mad: I see a freak out coming.
Then again, maybe I’m over reading her expression. Hope she doesn’t throw herself into a nunnery or something…
I’m a little concerned by the assumption of Imogene’s innocence in all these posts. Folks, the 50s mojo is a placid surface over deep, deep waters. Imogene will hoist her poodle skirt and body hugging cashmere sweater and carry on with her mad science.
Yeah.
In fact, there’s an age old dodge here: “If it was with a girl, it doesn’t count.”
And the involvement of a dude was totally TigerLily’s fault. So that doesn’t count either.
Problem solved! Tho I admit I like the greaser option.
Imogene gonna get her Rizzo thing going now.
so much mojo… my hard drive crashed, my modem is trying to communicate with Voyager, and Windows ‘help’ is asking for a cigarette!

Looks like the “casualty” was Imogene, not Bravo.
Why am I hearing Imogene’s voice as Janet Weiss from Rocky Horror?
Me Too!!!
I’m hearing Tou-tou-tou-tou-touch Me in my head as I read this strip!
Well, that’s certainly one of the more enjoyable ways to get obliterated.
