    On the plus side, he is now worth more experience points! ^_^

      Upvote for inventing a word that I didn’t even realise the English language needed.

          Hide!

          … Wait, “hide” like the skin of something, or “hide” like what you do so the hideorable rat-o-saurus won’t find you? Not that that changes my answer; I’m just curious.

            I’m guessing from “hideous”…

    Okay, yeah. I’d do it to see if it worked too…

    Quick! See if your princess powers still work on it! Alternately, start hitting it until it loves you!

    Is Lovelace normally this sentimental or is the VR getting to her?

    Let’s focus on the real tragedy here: Lovelace has lost her spear and her awesome cloak.

      …yet she still has her magic helmet.

        “Magic helmet?!” “Magic helmet!”

        A Tyrattosaurus Ratz won’t be much fun to escape, but beats the alternative…

    So VERY “Mad Scientist”.

    “I didn’t think past ‘making a cool monster’.” indeed. :p

      On the bright side, since “making a cool monster” was his entire plan, he can now declare it to be a total success!

        Considering who his role models and peers are, this makes perfect sense.
        Also, now that he has two actual data points, as a mad computer scientist he’s free to do all sorts of things…if he survives long enough to do them, of course.

    Spear and magic helmet?

    I’m sure the right combination of monsters can lead to a fenotypically accurate Ur-Gerbil.

    To be fair, most of my plans don’t get past that point either.

      Not many mad scientists’ do, nyao.

      …Come to think of it, that was probably a good think for me and Krosp. Otherwise our respective creators would’ve tried to use us to take over the world, when we kitties already have!

    Maybe they could just whack this one on the head another two hundred fifty six times…

    Is the last panel a direct quote of the co-authors working out this plotline?

    He called Boney a “stegopotamus”! Great minds *do* warp alike! Thanks, Shaenon!

    I have decided that the work the ages will remember me for will be reformatting Skin Horse strips to ruin all the ironic cuts. So this strip would be replaced by one combining the last panel of yesterday’s comic and the first three of today’s.

    To be fair, “Make chimeras out of animals because they’ll be cooler” worked pretty well for Porky’s army in Mother 3. At least until the heroes showed up.

    I initially thought “wait, the rat was friendly, shouldn’t combining them make the dinosaur less aggressive?” But then I thought “if my friend physically combined me with a monster for shits and giggles, that friendship is probably past salvaging.”

    _Then_ I wondered what would happen if they had brought along the sheriff’s corpse and combined _that_ with the dinosaur. Would they get a dino-penguin that was half dead and therefore too weak to chase them (better) or a zombie dino-penguin (worse?).

    I probably need a new brain, this one is kinda screwy.

      I’m sure Dr. Lee has a spare one around somewhere she could give you . . .

    So what happens if you bring the stegopotomus and the t-rat into the same area?

      Stegopotoratamus rex

      I have no idea what it looks like, but it’s kinda fun to say! ;-p
