Tunisian crochet! Though that hook appears to have a nice grippy handle, so it wouldn’t hold many stitches. Maybe he’s been using waistcoat stitch, which looks like a knitting stitch to many people? It produced a fairly sturdy, stuff fabric, like most crochet, but he could be using a loose hand and a supple yarn.
Why is it assumed that the crochet hook is the only tool he has on him? Most of the knitters I know wouldn’t leave home without at least one spare set of knitting needles.
Many knitters also crochet, and vice versa. There are techniques for casting on casting off, at the beginnings and ending respectively, which use a crochet hook. Also some projects involve attaching knitted segments by crocheting them together.
So now Tip has gone with a cold, slow, hard-to-hide semi-auto AWAY from his original intelligent insight to use a hammerless revolver, the choice of most under-cover types worldwide? I LIKED Alice, and I fear his inability to form relationships has ruined facets of his tradecraft…..again, rampant technology ruins a culture.
Poor Tip. He’ll be ‘offed’ by an enemy while he is withdrawing, cocking the slide, taking off the usually stuck safety….when he could have already put five lead pellets noisily into his foe. ALAS. Equipment matters.
INdeed. AND… Oh Shannon, Shannon, Shannon… vat ist yoor psychological issue mit drawing der guns und hands und stuff. Panel two looks like Tip’s right hand has 6 fingers… In panel three, his thumb appears to be on the (dare I say) right hand side of the pistol. Not the way to hold an automatic.
I always find it funny how in the USA you can’t get a comment section under a comic that won’t be nitpicking anytime a gun appears. Mind you, in my country, we do this about food. This is much more sensible. Well, much more frequent at least. We should know, we are the sane ones.
Interesting fact: you can’t actually prove sanity. You can prove insanity, and you can fail to prove insanity. But just because you haven’t been proven insane doesn’t mean that you’re sane.
Tip is not undercover, here. Magazine size is far more important than concealment. More important than coloring the grip in panel two. In fact, I’d go with the extended mags, although if two shots doesn’t stop whatever the cypress swamp throws at them it then the thing is probably immune to bullets anyhow and the point is moot. Ha, I love the word moot. Moot moot moot.
Moot.
Tip might be upgrading to a caliber with a bit more pep, taking into consideration the big open field they seem to be in, and that range may be more of a factor here. It’s all good though, there are some perfectly sexy and still pretty concealable automatics out there. And if Tip does have a harem of guns I’m sure he has lovingly chosen classy names for all of them Right now though, I think he wouldn’t go awry to introduce himself to certain rifle by the name of Vera.
And way to take control of the situation Tip, even if the situation seems inherently silly
Different sweater could mean this is the real guy this time. It never actually said the guy on the drone monitor was the same one that kitted out fake Peirson and Philips.
One down, four to go.
‘Tis but a scratch …
Another town, another show
Haven’t heard that song in decades! And now, it’s going to be running through my mind for what’s left of my day, and possibly beyond. Thanks?
Could be worse. At least that’s a good song.
How is he knitting with a crochet hook?

A fair point.
He’s probably got a whole kit of sewing and knitting tools concealed on him, Hidden Weapons style.
Many knitters also crochet, and vice versa. There are techniques for casting on casting off, at the beginnings and ending respectively, which use a crochet hook. Also some projects involve attaching knitted segments by crocheting them together.
Also, some mistakes are just easier to fix with a crochet hook! And at the speeds he’s knitting…
Don’t look now, Palle, but he just sweatered you. (And also replaced your head.)
Farewell, Mr. Ask! You retained a fine and focused analytical mind even unto the very end. ^_^
Maybe it’s a tranq.
Maybe it’s just a dart, and any effects are psychosomatic.
“Rustle…rustle…”
“Who is it?”
“It’s me. Russell.”
Because he’s a ginger?
(Etymology joke)
My brother Russell hates that joke.
“They arrested Brown Paper Pete!”
“What for?”
“Rustling.”
this whole arc is fantastic. love to and I like this new crew
*love tip, freaking autocorrect
I always disable it for that sort of reason.
Ah, a new sweater, we see!
It is, however, a questionable one
[golf clap]
Crochet hook or dart-sized atlatl?
He’s a mad scientist driven more so by the environment. Embrace the power of “and” in this situation

No need to worry. So long as Hammerspace is an option there is no reason Tip may not have more than one gun. ^_^

As long as we’re being nit-picky, her name is Shaenon – and has been for quite some time.
I got another finger for you.
And I’m betting it’s not your pinkie.
and I gots spelling problems
That isn’t the limit of them.
In panel 2, he’s using *both* hands. (And if he wasn’t, he’d have *seven* fingers, not six.)

If you want a calibre with more punch, revolver is the way to go. Switching from a revolver to a semi because you want more power doesn’t make sense.
The knitting ninja is no longer wearing his ‘U R NOT U’ sweater. Is he questioning his own reality?
The NKCA, National Knitting and Crocheting Association strikes again! Support the right to yarn bears!
…the right to keep and bear yarns?
Ask wasn’t shot by the Knitting Ninja. He was shot by a genetically modified mouse named Pinky. (Let’s see who else gets the connection)
I -think- I get the connection, but where are we going to find a duck and a hose at this hour?
Well if I’m pondering what you’re pondering, then it’s certainly a “Precious” thought.
