      No glasses, so I’m guessing no, unless it’s one we haven’t met yet.

      I’m thinking Imogene Frog, who would certainly fit in in the Temporally Confounded Mad Science ward.

        And I’m wondering now where Titus is. Surely he wouldn’t leave Ginny to the tender mercies of the Institute! (Despite his protestations that he totally would.)

        For those who won’t bother clicking through and reading the notes:

        “She is a teenage girl from the 1950s whose mother, a mad homemaker, accidentally launched her into the future with a quantum souffle.”

          I keep hearing about these notes, but I can’t find a link to them on http://www.skin-horse.com

            The link the original commenter gave was to a Narbonic strip, so the notes mentioned are on the “Director’s Cut” commentary of this strip’s predecessor.

        Oh my god, it /is/ Imogen Frog! I’d thought so! Golly gee whiz, I’m super excited!

      If by some fluke The Institute managed to capture the daughter of David Davenport and Helen Narbon, there’s only two questions:
      1) Would she have a chance to escape before her parents caught up to her and
      2) Would being on the other side of the world be enough to protect the rest of us from the wrath of the first family of Mad Science?

        1) Yes.
        2) No.

        The only question is how large the fallout would be. At minimum, the hordes of giant mutant gerbils would form a permanent infestation in surrounding area.

    I can’t believe she hasn’t funkified that dreary jumpsuit.

      She’s waiting for the proper dramatic moment.

    A 50s Dolly, a 70s Fox, and an 80s Gal. All we need now is a 60s Skirt!

      How about a 40s Riveter?

        20s Flapper, who manipulates Tip with a Paul Poiret?

          What? No 1910s…. um… whatever the hell women were called in the 1910s

          I’m hoping either 20s Flapper, or maybe a 30s Okie with a junkyard New Deal aesthetic.

    Tigerlily seems more subdued than usual. Do they have her on Haldol? Or worse, the cure?

    • irdburns

      The Cure would be counterproductive: they want to STUDY mad genius remember.

    Is the Institute coed or all-girl?

    • Saberbeam
      September 29, 2014, 8:36 pm | # | Reply

      Based off the behavior of most (all?) men we’ve seen in contact with Tigerlily Jones, if this were a coed facility they would be so tightly wrapped around her finger it would be losing circulation.

    Anyone else concerned that there are enough locked up mad scientists that they need at least ‘three’ cafeterias?

    • xiombrag

      I think you misunderstand. Every time there’s an… accident… they have to build a new cafeteria.

      Cafeteria A was destroyed in a relatively mundane explosion, though it did involve (very briefly) creating nuclear fusion inside of a serving of meatloaf. In contrast, since the latest “accident,” no one is willing to enter the shimmering portal that replaced Cafeteria B, no matter how it sings to them.

      I’m thinking they always build a spare when one disappears. So they’re working on Cafeteria D now.

        Never EVER trust a portal that sings to you.

      Only three? What makes you so sure they’re not using Roman numerals?

      • irdburns
        September 29, 2014, 3:38 pm | # | Reply

        While that’s more in fitting with the above theory, the odds of our seeing them on a day when the numeral is round are low.

    Yes, depending on which meds they’re on.
