    Plasma … from Plasma Adam? Well, it *was* James Galanos.

      If Tip knew Plasma Adam, that is going to re-contextualise a lot of things.

        Plasma Adam West! So Batman DID NOT die last week! He converted in to another state, biding his time until the plot reached the critical point for his reveal….

        Was the plasma of Plasma Adam retained after his demise? If so, still a possible trade item for Tip.

          Plasma Adam was composed of energy. So is he really dead? I mean, you can’t actually “kill” energy. You can only restrict it.

        Tip never met Adam… unless he’s discovered time travel. Plasma Adam was gone before Tip was recruited.

    So, is Tip inadvertently getting into black market deals with a mad scientist, or is “plasma” a fashion thing I don’t know about?

      I think it’s blood plasma.

      So, black market deals with a very fashionable vampire?

      (…does he know Tip used to be a werewolf?)

    And once again I remember why Unity is my favorite Skin Horse character. She is just too adorable!

    Unity prefers brains, but she’d undoubtedly take a pound of flesh if you offered it.

    :looking up James Galanos:

    …If I ever write a 1950s or 1960s superhero novel I’ll have to remember to make this guy some kind of costume-oriented gadgeteer. It’d, heh, suit him.

      I don’t think anyone will be putting up a suit for that pun.

    I was expecting Unity to take “pound of flesh” literally.

    I was NOT expecting Tip to actually mean it literally, since blood is technically liquid flesh.

      Not according to Portia.

      Neither was I, really. But in his own way, Tip is an artist of fashion, and what true artist isn’t willing to bleed for his art?

    A pound of water (plasma is mostly water) is a little less than a pint. That’s not bad for a vintage dress!

      A pint?? That’s very nearly an armful!

    Y’know, I thought Tip’s nemesis was Artie Narbon.

      Tell me that after seeing them in bed! More of a love/hate thing. Lust/hate? But I assumed the nemesis was H.T.

        No, H. T. is Sweetheart’s nemesis.

      As Unity says, she knows that Tip has other nemeses but this one in particular is new to her.

      I figured Tip’s nemesis was Tigerlily.

        No, Tigerlily is Tip’s unattainable ideal. His obsession, even.

    Yeah, I suppose so. Or maybe anyone who might go well with A-1 Sauce.

    Since James Galanos is supposedly dead, I’d be concerned about blood transactions in his name…just saying.
    Seriously, this really fits with Tip’s obsession with classic fashion. I mean, Galanos is the one Nancy Reagan relied on…

      He traded a pint of plasma for *A* James Galanos. As in for one of Galanos’ designs. He traded it TO someone named Tremontino, so Galanos being alive or dead is irrelevant.

    Dangit! I gave them a pint of plasma, and the red and white cells, AND the platelets, and all I got in return was some cookies and a soda!

      Consider yourself lucky. They kicked me out until I could stop cracking vampire jokes. Something about making the other donors nervous. (*snort*)

    So Tip is technically Unity’s dad? He and Mell got it together virtually and Doctor Lee created this zombie-type creation! Wow. Of course, the time machine was used to make it all fit this universe.

      How did you arrive at THAT conclusion?!

        Tip’s blood has his DNA, and the ‘fashion designer’ rival made a deal with the shadow government to cut Denis down to size or distract him from competing.

          That’s a REALLY big stretch… And Tip’s nemesis Tremontino isn’t a fashion designer – a fashionista, maybe. James Galanos was a fashion designer, but he’s dead now, so he’s not making deals with anyone.

    She’s right. Tip is overstocked on nemesisses. (Tigerlilly is another one, sort of.) Tip is the reason those dudes on Venture Brothers go nemesisless. I guess that would make him their nemesis too. But not vice versa, which is just another sad reminder how much hier he is in the hierarchy. It’s about time polynemesy was outlawed.

    OMG I am totally stealing polynemesy.
