    Oh god the fusion pie!

      Yes, I think it’s *that* kind of pie. And Dr. Lee wasn’t around when they all learned that important point of terminology.

        I’m pretty sure she was, actually. http://skin-horse.com/comic/todays-comic-103/

          I’d forgotten about the “pie”. The link leads to 2 days after the strip where he calls the fusion reactor a pie, though.

            Wait Tom

            Gavotte’s been hoarding those to power a giant robot?
            And now we have Hittie… a giant robot being powered by one?

      Fusion pies don’t glow that way. It’s a fission pie.

        Look on the bright side: at least the blast didn’t knock pieces off. At least, I don’t see any fission chips…

    Don’t worry, Dr Lee! I’m sure it’s man-portable!

      I’m not sure. This looks like a lot more pie than last time.

    Oh I get it, the pie’s so old that it’s radioactive.

      Post Irradiation Examination = P.I.E.

    That’s not any pie I’m aware of. Unless I decide to bake one.

      It’s pie, Jim, but not as we know it.

    That’s quite a wallop RK has there.

    Ah! He doesn’t remember the time he went evil, so he doesn’t know that he edited his vocabulary to deceive Unity. Pie, Man-portable fusion reactor. Same thing, really.

    Is this get-out-of-here radiation or superhero-origin radiation?

      This is more like say-goodbye, get-on-your-knees-and-pray-your-loved-ones-aren’t-in-the-blast-radius radiation. Unless Hittie has some sort of self-repair function she hasn’t mentioned yet.

    In my mind it ends up the real Jersey Devil eats RK and then shape shifts into his form. By this time everybody is so agged at DK they all agree things are better this way and Nick flies off with a new improved RK (who can always go back to the NJ pines when he missed home) and everybody else concocts a wildly ridiculous cover story which will only be slightly more probable than the truth and they and the devilettes all enjoy some nice cake. And maybe take a trip on the yacht.

    So Hitty was built out of an Easy-Bake oven?

    • Smithnik

      No, Hitty was built around a portable fusion reactor, which explains a lot of things about her power source. It doesn’t have to be the SAME portable fusion device. I think that any portable fusion device would translate as “pie” in Moustachio’s current state.
      That said, the green leaky stuff coming out of Hitty is still a bad idea.

        I think any kind of nuclear reactor registers as pie. That’s why he called it fusion pie rather than just pie.

      It does seem like we missed Red Knight getting his cummonpence

    Sing a song of Hitty, leaking fusion pie!
    Looking kinda nasty, acid, alkali?
    Thinks she’s now Yon Yonson, fluid flowing green!
    And problems with rebooting have affected this machine!

    —from—well, you can guess. Rushed a little for time this evening; may try later in the week.

    Good news; they have found the third of the lost fusion generators, a priceless technological artifact from a different time.

    Bad news; it’s cracked, and likely to go critical.

    Worse news; the moron who cracked it is laying down cover fire so you can’t run.

    Slightly better news: you won’t have to worry about this for much longer.

    So I guess Hitty singing ‘Yon Yonson’ is her version of the ‘Daisy, Daisy’ scene, with somewhat less pathos.

    My grandfather, who grew up in Duluth, loved “My name is Yon Yonson…”
    Everyone else worry about the fusion pie, I’m too overcome with nostalgia.
