Protip: When the only reason it’s not in a historical museum is that it’s technically sapient, it’s surprising when it DOESN’T have some antiquated social mores.
Fedoras have quickly become a sign of the ‘internet goodguy’ who is quick to share his misogynistic opinions on why women won’t date him. Other signs include neckbeards and saying “m’lady”.
Then I hope you’ll help restore the fedora to its rightful status as reminiscent of Indiana Jones and Rick Blaine, Awesome Cynical Mavericks. I’m quite peeved about the stigma attached to one of my fave fashion items. (Even more peeved about the fact that it is, at the least, not wholly undeserved.) (And the fact that neither Awesome Cynical Maverick is close to a shining jewel of feminism, but I choose not to notice that.)
If a PUA wore it, it would make them seem, well, like a hipster. They wouldn’t wear them because, um, they’re too mainstream . I watched a few episodes of the Pickup Artist on VH1, and I don’t recall any fedoras. I’m going to disbelieve it just like I disbelieve that it’s the hat of misogynist neckbeards or MRAs.
He’s probably just run out of nail polish that goes with his current outfit.
… and he thinks that Chris or Mustachio are likely sources for the right shade? That’s optimism at work.
But what did happen to the files? Miss Bubbles carried them off…and this is still the same day, isn’t it? Her coffee date / grab for a little happiness with Unity isn’t till later, is it?
Unless, of course, Gavotte gave Bubbles instructions to take the files to a third area, to be picked up by a fourth person.
Y’know, this might shape up to be a way to get to those files to someone in particular while letting Annex One keep copies. It’s only a problem with timing that’s screwing everything up for everyone else.
I was gonna say something to the effect of, “Tip is either extremely careful or the least virile man imaginable,” but then I looked it up and found out that virility only refers to sexual prowess, not fertility.

“For example, there’s Tip.” Fixed that for you, Chris.
Tip should just keep a box of transparent nail polish in his office, cycle it out by taking them from the front and adding them to the back. Tip is picky, but it doesn’t seem that he’d be picky enough to choose between blue-tinted, green-tinted, True Clear, extra-thick, matte, and minimal-refraction depending on purpose and base colour, so separate columns within the box shouldn’t be necessary.
*looks atop Moustachio’s noggin*
Funny, that hat doesn’t LOOK like a fedora….
No kidding. Moustachio, I am so disappointed in you. I thought you were a true gentleman, but you’re just another chauvinist relic.
Protip: When the only reason it’s not in a historical museum is that it’s technically sapient, it’s surprising when it DOESN’T have some antiquated social mores.
I think “Has destroyed the Great Exhibition” and “Nearly nuked D.C” also count as reasons not to put him in a museum.
…children might climb on him, and they’d hate to see him get dented.
I don’t get it. What’s the relationship between fedoras and misogyny?
Fedoras have quickly become a sign of the ‘internet goodguy’ who is quick to share his misogynistic opinions on why women won’t date him. Other signs include neckbeards and saying “m’lady”.
I’ve never heard that one before. I assumed Jay was comparing M to Don Draper or something.
I wear one, because it’s sunny here in San Antonio and I feel uncomfortable being a Yankee wearing a cowboy hat.

(And the fact that neither Awesome Cynical Maverick is close to a shining jewel of feminism, but I choose not to notice that.)
Also, fedoras are associated with pick up artists because they often wear them while “peacocking” to appear more attractive/confident/alpha.
They’re also (incorrectly) associated with Men’s Rights Activists, because why not attach another negative male stereotype to them?
Also, fedoras are associated with hipsters.

I cannot stand that association and will never, ever support it.
Fedoras are stylish, damn it…when you wear them right, anyway…
Fedora… Or trilby? (i kid, i kid.)
Tip is plenty virile. Just ask around.
Please let M’ say “yes”.
Tip is out of nail polish? This is possible?
You really don’t want to know what condition his nylons were in after the whole sewer thing.
He’s probably just run out of nail polish that goes with his current outfit. You know what Tip’s like.

He did sort of make Chris his apprentice, if only long enough for the guy to get the bare basics down and hook up with Marcie.
But what did happen to the files? Miss Bubbles carried them off…and this is still the same day, isn’t it? Her coffee date / grab for a little happiness with Unity isn’t till later, is it?
I suppose Sweetheart implicitly re-acquired them off camera.

Well Gavotte did shag herself silly, so it’s not entirely surprising that a problem with the timing is taking it off the rails.
I was gonna say something to the effect of, “Tip is either extremely careful or the least virile man imaginable,” but then I looked it up and found out that virility only refers to sexual prowess, not fertility.
Um, could someone explain to me how do you repair nylons (i’ll assume it means nylon panties) with nail polish?
It’s not exactly “repair”. It’s more like stopping further damage. One run and their done.
Nylons means pantyhose. Or stockings, but not a lot of folks wear stockings these days.
wha? Where is eddurd’s daily verse? Would “serivice is my only jot” fit into Beethoven’s “ode to joy?
Maybe. But it would have to be translated into German to make it feel genuine.
Not at all! Observe:

No no no, gotta stick to Bubbles’ vocabulary:
Service, service, service, service: Service is my only joy!
Service, service, o-, my only,
Service is my only joy!
Only joy, joy, joy, is service,
Service only, service, my!
Only service, only service: service is my only joy!

I don’t know about the german, but I approve of translating a character’s song into their native language 🙂
Does this mean, that Bubbles is going to ‘service’ Unity? o_O
If Sweetie didn’t want to puncture her water-tank before, that most certainly would do it
I think I’ve spotted an error – Christopher’s speech bubble in the last panel has a grey, Moustachio-esque background.
“For example, there’s Tip.” Fixed that for you, Chris.
Tip should just keep a box of transparent nail polish in his office, cycle it out by taking them from the front and adding them to the back. Tip is picky, but it doesn’t seem that he’d be picky enough to choose between blue-tinted, green-tinted, True Clear, extra-thick, matte, and minimal-refraction depending on purpose and base colour, so separate columns within the box shouldn’t be necessary.
