      That earns a clap, dvandom. Let’s hope the same can’t be said for the happy couple.

    I remember, long ago, when he was comming to terms with losing his body, how he didn’t care because he wasn’t gonna ever get laid anyway.

    That was a lllooooooonnnngggg ironic(?) foreshadowing.

    I sure hope that he didn’t blow it with that last comment.

    Look Virginia, you’re both in the Mile-High Club now. Just…just bask in it, okay?

    I’m so glad Jeff and Shaenon aren’t as twisted as I am!

    But I still suspect Dr. Jones’ enhancements to Nick 2.0 include electrocytes like an electric eel to power his WiFi…

      But genetic engineering isn’t Tigerlily Jones’s main thing. Her main thing is spring-powered technology.

      …kinda makes me wonder how to wind the spring.

        Why, with both hands and from the back, of course. Just don’t strip any gears. **halo**

    Is this the beginning of their very official first couple-bicker?
    “Cyborgs are from Mars, Semi-Mad Scientists are from Venus”?
    (“Please say sweet things to me.” “Let me talk about something mechanical.”)
    …or is this just the love-ship’s descent back to their normal baseline of miscommunication?
    Maybe they need to rescue the Couples’ Therapy puppets from Anasigma.

    I find myself now wondering what horrible thing is going to come to light that’s going to test the love these two have for each other….

      Nick’s personality did sink Project Whirlygig, if that’s how it was spelled. It could sink their relationship, too.

        What sunk Whirlygig was Nick’s pacifism.

        I was thinking more something horrible from Ginny’s past, etc.

          Nick is something horrible from Ginny’s past. So’s Unity.

        Virginia is already quite familiar with Nick’s personality, and fell in love with him for who he is. It seems unlikely that his personality would sink their relationship.

        On the flip side, Nick knows good and well that Virginia is a weirdo who likes to schlorp out people’s brains (including his), and he doesn’t hold that against her. If anything sinks their relationship, it’s not going to be because they didn’t know each other well enough.

      I think they had their test first- Shaenon is unconventional! If brain-schlorping and Nick’s early manners towards her don’t get in the way, not much point in lesser problems trying!

    I’m glad for the happy couple, but I can’t help wondering if Dr Lee should turn out to be pregnant would she have a baby or a small airplane?…

      Well, fortunately for her reproductive tract, Nick is still biologically human, so the baby would be too. Now, if Helen were to do a bit of genetic tampering with Nick, then all bets are off.

      I had that same thought today. I saw this image in my head of Nick and Ginny looking adoringly through the window of one of those old-fashioned hospital nursery rooms where there are a bunch of newborns lined up in cribs, and one crib had a small pair of propellers sticking up from it.

        Do I sense some fan art forthcoming?

      Maybe not a small Osprey, but the baby might come out wifi capable – and will cry uncontrollably when his helicopter mobile is taken away from the cradle.

    Off topic- if I wanted to buy a strip, how would I go about doing that?

    • Carl Fishman

      Click on “Buy” underneath the strip, which brings you to the store page. Click on “Art” on the list on the left. Look down to “Narbonic and Skin Horse Original Art”. Then, basically, e-mail Shaenon to see whether the strip you want is still available. (I’ve got five of them hanging on my wall, spiffing up the place. Including the one referenced above by Dave Doss. Fun stuff!)

    Nick, “No, no. I mean what we did just now WAS flying. I am on cloud nine both figuratively and literally.”
