So, if Tip is back on the clock, shouldn’t he shave? I doubt Sweetheart would extirpate him, but there must be some Skin Horse regs about appearance on the job.
He’s been on the clock and unshaven for several days now. Ever since they got back from the Habakkuk. His “sabbatical” was so short you could barely call it “a day off”.

TIP: Oh, and could you try to get my earrings back from the co-
GAVOTTE: Don’t push your luck, Tip.
TIP: Yes, ma’am.
Karma delivery, express.
I like that he had a compact with him. 🙂
Aaaand we’re back.
I prefer to believe the compact appeared from Hammerspace rather than reflecting Tip’s narcissism.
… well, it IS reflecting Tip.
But whether it comes from hammerspace or was carried all along, it still means the same! XD
Do not try to explain where the compact came from. That is impossible.
Instead, merely try to realize the truth. There is no compact.
It is you who must primp.
the compact was manifested by his mojo. It’s still not up to full strength, but it is back.
I thought the cobras had eaten Tip’s earrings. Must not have agreed with them
“This too, shall pass.”
WOW, that was probably.. the MOST DISTURBING USAGE of that phrase I’ve ever seen.
Like, oh god, but also props.
That’s actually the most COMMON usage of that phrase that I see. Although it is usually applied to humans, not snakes.
Transcendence later. Fashion now.
And from fashion, transcendence from this sweatsuited form.
Have we met this guy before?
scene 47?
Sure we have. 10 years ago.
Only now do I realize that yesterday would have been perfect to say “Giant enlightened rats? I don’t think they exist.”
Yes, indeed. Even though Tip had already met him some time ago, there’s never a bad time for a Princess Bride reference!
I may be biased, but this one was always my favorite of the basement dwellers
He’s up there, but he’s no cobra. Then again, you probably are biased.
It’s been so long since we’ve seen our (Sumatran?) rodent friend…
Who needs enlightenment when you have mojo?
(True, Tip is currently in a low-mojo state, but a recovery arc has already begun, IMHO).
Why do I imagine the giant enlightened rat speaking in the voice of Dr. Henry Killinger?
Roddy McDowall, for me…
David Attenborough, here.
I’m getting more of a Michael Caine vibe.
I hear Morgan Freeman, myself.

Holy Wow, Shaenon and Jeff sure do play the long game.
Earring stolen 2008-04-09 in http://skin-horse.com/comic/way-carefully/ by some already-far-too-cute baby cobras.
Giant enlightened rat was always my favorite basement dweller.
