They *probably* won’t sting him. Gavotte never stung him. Hopefully the crew of this flying saucer are as nice as Gavotte. I mean, if they wanted Tip to die, they could have just not rescued him, right?
I was half expecting a swan dive into a nearby body of water and coming up next to at least three women in bikinis – because let’s face it, that would be Tip’s style.
Perhaps not so. Our Glorious Authors don’t usually telegraph…(damn) but this is the ‘shuffle off to Buffalo’, I bet. I’m trying to say that I believe they’re ending this magnificent maelstrom in high old style, on a high note.
This is probably the ship that’s inbound to pick up everyone at the compound, since they’re still at the encampment after defeating HT and the AS army.
I don’t know about that – Tigerlily always planned to go to Lovetron. I’m not sure if I’m recalling this correctly, but I think she believes she is from Lovetron. So if Tigerlily also goes to Lovetron (back to?), then she and Tip could be together there.
Okay, I know it’s a little late in the game to be making this call, but I am making it.
Tip is from Lovetron and always has been.
It fits with his similarities to Ozma, it explains why he and Tigerlilly have such a strong connection, and explains why, way way back, Gavotte knows about him being a war hero. Only it was a war for Lovetron, not Earth
Tip himself has been kept in the dark somehow, with modified or suppressed memories, for his own protection. And I further predict he’ll choose to stay on Earth in order to keep his promises to Tigerlilly and Sweetheart.
And, because he truly did always have faith in humanity.
The power was within you all along, Tip.
Argh! A cliffhanger!
We know Tip doesn’t want to go. But maybe now we will follow him and see the inside of the ship.
Lovetron rescue craft?
That’s what I’m thinking.
A lovetron ship is what i would be hoping for, because,
the greys would make me uncomfortable.
Looks like the same craft that picked up Reynard.
Weird. I feel kind of bad for Renard.
He’ll always have #12.
Well, the murder-turtle seemed to think it was pretty nice. You can trust murder-turtles, right?
Of course you can trust murder turtles. But then you didn’t say what you wanted to trust them to do.
or it’s crewed by bees. Gavotte’s people.
And Tip is allergic to bee stings.

Put a glide in your stride and a dip in your hip
And come on up to the mothership.
Not the bees!
Singing: Vikings and Beekeepers,..Vikings and Beekeepers,..Vikings and Beekeepers,
Ok, despite already knowing there was a Mothership hanging around, I don’t think ANY of us saw this rescue coming.
I know I didn’t. I was expecting an improvised hang glider maybe.

I was expecting the Spanish Inquisition. I never learn.
Now I know you’re lying. Because no one expects the Spanish Inquisition.
I did; back when Ira and Tip got in this predicament, I commented that they were off to see Gavotte
Thought the Mothership wasn’t picking up humans.
If I recall, Tip’s only Mostly human.
Oh, that’s right, the whole werewolf thing.
Wow, this stuff gets planned a lot in advance.
Of course if he goes off to Lovetron, he won’t be going off with Tigerlily Jones like he planned.
One last chance for a meaningless fling with someone? (I counted thirty-five since the beginning of the strip.)

Tigerlily Jones is a princess of Lovetron. She’s clearly going to Lovetron too.
Yeah, Daibhid, I get the impression when I read this strip that the originators are not
in any metaphorical KANSAS any more.
Maybe the Kansas “Point of No Return” album cover one.
This.^
Tip’s situation is worse. Needs a miracle out of his purse. But a big flying saucer makes a good double-crosser to all our thoughts in this universe.
Woowooweeeweewoowooooo…
E. Tip phone home? 🙂

Chariots of the deus ex machina?
(That’s not entirely fair, but I thought it was funny.)
