    Then he’ll shoot them both.

      It sounds like the plan is to bang them both.

    Ah, but Tip doesn’t consider James “perfect beauty” with that pencil mustache.

      Next: Tip and James exchange beauty tips.

      Nor, I’m sure, could James tolerate the spectacles Tip affects…

        We don’t know Tip’s spectacles are an affectation. It’s entirely possible he actually needs them.

          Regardless of whether he actually needs them, the style of the glasses is nonetheless an affectation.

            Hmmm, you do have a point, there, awgiedawgie. After all, one doesn’t wear just “any old frames”, if there is any choice in the matter. No doubt Tip is quite picky when selecting his glasses frames.

      It could very well be meant as a trap.

      No, no. Shooting the other at that distance might splatter blood on the one shooting.
      They both mean their OWN perfect beauty.

      Just because Tip wouldn’t grow a pencil mustache doesn’t mean he wouldn’t bang it.

      And who wears glasses during sex?

        People who like glasses way more then they should.

        Neuro-cyberneticists whose boyfriends have a Yomiko Readman fetish.

          How do you know that Nick has a Readman fetish?

            It doesn’t come across as a fetish, necessarily, just a description, but awgiedawgie is probably thinking of this strip here.

          That’s a very specific fetish.

          *Very tangentially related.* I just compared the amount of fanart for her with the last time her name came up in comic and it doesn’t seem to have changed much. Though, there are people cosplaying as her now, so that’s cool.

          [I am hesitant to turn off safe-search as there are far too many things that that needs to be on for when image searching fanart. Even things that should never be lewded in a sane world.]

      Wait a minute. “James?” Did I miss a reference again?

        2019-08-07: altNick/”Babe” calls him that.

      Gotta admit, the lip-caterpillar needs to crawl away (possibly in two different directions.)

    nick has probably already taken the opportunity to exit stage whatever gets him as far away from this as possible

      Or purple-hair lady is telling him to man up and tell Virginia how he feels.

        She did think he was cute.

        So Ginny is gonna clean her clock when she tries to flirt with Nick?

        The purple-haired one has more important things to worry about, such as the zombie head gnawing through her skull.

    This just keeps getting better and better!
    Shaenon & Jeff deserve an “Eisner” for today’s strip alone!

      This week, particularly the last 3 strips, has been an outstanding run. Thanks so much, Shaenon and Jeffrey!

    Alt-Tip called his Alt-Nick “Babe.” Does that mean he’s also Alt-Unity, despite what we’ve seen?

    So Dr. Lee puts paid to her counterpart and leads the ersatz (albeit pragmatic) “Nick” astray, accounting for half their foes!

    While Dr. Wilkin somehow managed to turn a Mexican Standoff into a Swedish Stalemate!

    Hopefully, our Nick is bolting for his upgraded Osprey…

      He’s definitely bolting for somewhere.

    I kinda want to see where that’s going. Tip mojo and Anti-Tip mojo would be a heavy mix.

      Unless that’s like matter and antimatter, in which case it would be disastrous.

        Would’a thought two of them in the same universe would be enough to destroy it, no get together necessary.

        Sounds like it’ll be exactly like matter and antimatter: results in a bang

    Wait wait wait! Which ‘her’ does Alt-Nick have to stop? Lee? Alt-Lee? or UNITY? (hee, that rhymes 😀 )

      Yes.

    The “Anti-Nick”’s comment is so…Nick! Glum, snide snarkousity, complete with eye-roll.
    Meanwhile, if Nick is watching this, his “cringe factor” has just been squared. How can he ever un-think this scenario?

      Simple. Should Virginia get drawn into the ménage à trois he won’t remember his OWN name, much less Dennis Wilken.

        Then it would be a ménage à quatre, wouldn’t it?

    OK, Skin Horse gets me laughing most days – but never before as long and as hard as today

      Yes… I think I woke up my upstairs neighbours when I got to panel 3, and that’s not even the punchline.
