    Shaenon, Jeff only tortures you because he respects you, and “that which does not kill you makes you stronger” 🙂

      Well, then, he can torture her with something easier to draw.

        But that would not make her stronger!

      “That which does not kill you watches you silently from the shadows just outside your field of vision while coldly plotting your demise and whispers wetly into your sleeping ear of horrible, nameless, shapeless things while tenderly embracing your unconscious form with a thousand chitinous legs”

      Really? I always thought it was “that which does not kill you is lunch.” Then again, we cats use fuzzy logic, so…

    Bicycles are easy! Two triangles, two circles, then a wierd deformed, gemoetry-defying doohicky for a seat, and an impossibly contorted thingamagigger for a handle bar.
    See? Easy! 😀

      Then you get mountain bikes with road bike handlebars! The formula for success.

    So I assume this mad scientist is the spokesman for St. Charlie. Did he get funding for his research from Kickstander.com?

    I suspect that when Unity is done, there are gonna be a bunch of unicycles around that even Sean Emery couldn’t ride…

      and jeff will regret it all the more in a later strip, after all remember what happened when unity kissed tigerlily jones? It’ll come back to bite him.

    “The dawn light glints off the spokes of a thousand bicycles in downtown Shanghai…” No. No, it does not.

    you´re doing a great job. sometimes close-ups of objects look recognizable, but there is no doubt in your art.

    The real difficulty is drawing a bicycle that appears vicious!

    Hey, waitaminnit… “bi” cycle and “bi” Tip…. important connection or simply crazy?

      This is St Charlie. There is no “crazy” there is only “mad”

    I always thought machines were easy to draw, people were hard.

      It’d be easy to draw bricks— maybe next time the group can get attacked by ravenous zombie bricks.

    So Unity divides the Tips into “Boob Tip” and “No Boob Tip.” There *is* another part she could’a used…but, maybe, the name “Tip” with that might’ve been more confusing…

    Apologies to Shaenon, as the bicycle thing is at least partly my fault.

    Just imagine if Calvin of “Calvin & Hobbes” were here. “I KNEW the bicycles were out to kill us!”

      That’s it! Calvin lives in this world, and was given one of good Doctor’s prototypes from back when he worked at a bike shop.

      Ironically, while Calvin is NOT reality blind and his parents are, much of the chaos he imagines still isn’t real.

    i love these one-strip punchline delays.

    It took me a few seconds to realize that when UNITY said “Boob Tip”, she meant the female Tip and not that something had gotten caught in the bicycle she was fighting.

    I got my start drawing the 4-4-0 American steam locomotive when I was a wee lad.
    To this day it’s the only machine I can do decently.

      My start was with a revoler. To this day it’s the only kind of gun I can draw

    Bicycles are non-Euclidean nightmares. Cthulhu rides a bicycle.

      Now, that’s one thing the “Hello Cthulhu” web comic never got around to showing… gonna have to see if the hiatus is over… If “Adobolish” didn’t live in HC, I am sure Shaenon would have invented him…

      …you know, for some reason I don’t find the idea of extradimensional horrors designed for other conditions deciding the get around this world via pedal power to be weird at all. Kindof cute in fact.
