    When I saw the “SNAP!” I thought at first it was Tip’s bra.

      I thought it was Tip’s neck!

    Oh, we all knew the exploding collar was coming. Now we just need Mick Fleetwood and Dweezil Zappa to deactivate it for him.

    Tip will just slip it off: “Like I’ve never been locked into a collar before!”

      Hmm… you make a valid point. I wonder if Ira knows about Tip’s abilities.

        He doesn’t. He’s already dismissed him as a useless poof. Boy is he in for a surprise.

          I always question whether Ira knows more than he lets on. He’s already proven that he can successfully put on an act for years.

            The cast descriptions in Skin Horse seem to be Ira’s notes and do not lack shrewdness. ^_^

            TB, said cast descriptions *do* list Tip first, but that could be due to Ari’s human-centric worldview. The tone of Tip’s profile is grudging respect to my ear, but shows no awareness of his super powers.

            David,
            Very true. But then again they seem to have been made back when Tip was just the office lady and hadn’t gone on adventures yet. I’ve no doubt that he continued to pay close attention after Tip became active. @_@

            Towering Barbarian,
            How? Ira was stationed at the front desk while Tip was out on missions and dates.

            Re: Towering Barbarian: the order in the cast list seems to reflect order of first appearance. Though I wish Ira had updated to add some other characters, like Bubbles Waters.

    Oh, I’m thinking right now of my tan lines,
    That your collar is taking from me.
    Oh, I’m thinking right now of my tan lines,
    And I wonder if someone will ever see.

    Oh, you told me that you’d blow my head off,
    I’d escape, and it wouldn’t be so smart.
    I’m upset not that it wrecks my outfit,
    But three months of my effort comes apart.
    Oh, I’m thinking right now of my tan lines,
    That your collar is taking from me.

    As the one sanest member, I must comment,
    Concerning our great reckless spree.
    When my body is broken and headless,
    Just give it to our Unity.
    Oh, I’m thinking right now of my tan lines,
    That your collar is taking from me.
    Oh, I’m thinking right now of my tan lines,

    I am telling you that your behavior
    Has caused Skin-Horse and Anasigma strife.
    It wasn’t us who annoyed Mother Cypress,
    And engaged on the wild ride of life.
    Oh, I’m thinking right now of my tan lines,
    That your collar is taking from me.

    We’ll see what we shall see. I have some faith in our very own Poof. He’s really the only one with any inherent capability. I’m glad he didn’t break up Ira’s goonlet
    and slaughter Ira then. You couldn’t have drawn it. I wouldn’t mind some creative
    and quick dismemberment later, though. It helps me focus my political intentions.

    On the plus side, that collar actually goes quite nicely with the outfit.

      He’s travelling with a couple of Mads. They can add a few lights, some gold and silver wiring on the outside, just to give it some flair. Just because he’s in (semi)practical clothing doesn’t mean Tip can’t add some fabulousness.

    (I apologise for this, but the explodey collar made me think of Suicide Squad, and then the rest just followed from that.)

    We may need this bi philander,
    We need him under control.
    Just like in comics by Ostrander,
    Go off script, your head gets blown.

    Hey, Wilkin!
    Your head could be blown!

    All in all,
    It’s just an idea nicked from the Wall.

      for my part, it made me think of both Wedlock, a movie that I had forgotten it existed and The Anome of Jack Vance

    Panel 3 Ira/Ari’s expression really reminds me of Violet Bee’s disappointed glare, dunno if I’m imagining things or if that’s intentional, but I love it.

    “How frivolous do you think I am?”
    “On a scale from 1 to 10, you are 11!”

      That’s so frivolous, it sounds incredibly significant!

    This reminds me of when we put a harness on the cat. Same look of “Curse your sudden and inevitable betrayal!” and same boneless collapse to the floor.

    I *always KNEW* he was related to Zonker Harris. It’s the hair.

    I see they wisely conceded to providing the plaids and jade accents.
