    I thought Tigerlily Jones took off with the clockwork army!

      Shoot, I forgot Tigerlily left. I gotta redraw this whole dang strip.

        Nah, just need to come up with an excuse for having her back. This joke doesn’t work without her, and it’s too good to discard.

          Rule of Funny is sufficient reason – besides, we haven’t had a mojo-driven teleport for a while.

          Tip over a conference phone would work.

          She’s just that good of a wingwoman.

        Tigerlily’s got her mojo back, yes? Maybe her mojo-sense could pick up on people gettin’ it on, and she did the neighborly thing and helped set up for it?

          This is close to the suggesting I’m making: Ginny and Nick’s mojo was so powerful, it became a singularity of sorts and drew Tigerlily in like sex gravity.

        I was thinking that she came back for the meeting, or that the meeting was held because she was back.

        Obviously Dr. Jones sensed Tip was in trouble and returned to join forces for his rescue.

          Most likely, she sensed that Tip was too busy groinking his way through Anasig to continue to pine for her, so she decided it was high time for her to “rescue” him. That explains the new hot tub. “The Funk shall not be ignored!”

            Oh, I seriously doubt the hot tub is new.

        Maybe it’s her hologram.

        Maybe she was invited back. Not necessarily for Tip; Skinhorse will need a fighting force for attacks on the Anasigma bases.

        She just sensed a great disturbance in the mojo and dropped in to bother everyone. It’s not like she couldn’t build a teleporter, she’s got springs after all.

        When Tigerlily left, she said she didn’t know when she might come back. Maybe she sensed she was needed here. Maybe she needed to pick up some tools. Maybe she just happened to be in the neighbourhood. Who knows? Who cares? The joke was worth it!

        Do you have to redraw the strip, or do you have the opportunity to post a quick strip explaining Tigerlily’s presence at the meeting that expands your buffer without having to come up with more plot developments?

        I’ve got one word for you, just one word: mojo.

      Maybe she forgot her car keys.

        or her helical spring winding keys

    She’s still there? And she’s part of the team now?
    Also just to continue this argument, if Unuty had eaten Alt Ginny’s brain, then it would’ve just fallen out her throat.

      Good point. That would explain why she didn’t get any smarter after eating them.

        Does anyone really know where things go after they slide down our throats?

          Ultimately, out the other end. Science has done studies, and has pictures.

          I know what happens to bags of heroin after they slide down our throats. I suppose human brains would be somewhat similar

            Human brains are similar to bags of heroin? What kind of humans do you hang around?

    I really like Nick’s giant brainless smile of total contentment. It’s beautifully done. Like Dave’s back in Narbonic, when he and Helen finally got together.

    Love Nick’s gobsmacked smile. He’s still in a blissful state of shock.

      Kinda suspect he’s got the whole thing replaying on an endless loop in his brain, and he’s perfectly fine with that.

        He’s a cyborg. I bet it is literally playing on a loop in his brain. Or at least in his cockpit.

    “I propose Nick and I…” One would hope there is a proposal in their future, not just propositions.

    • John Campbell

      They’ve already moved past propositions and on to prepositions (like “in”).

    Try realigning from Lawful to something more Chaotic, Sweetheart.

      Why can’t lawful chaotic be a thing?

      Remember: Chaotic Neutral means never having to say you’re sorry! (psssst, Sweetheart: RAAAAAAMPAGE.)

    Sweetheart, we need to review your understanding of the word ‘undercover’. Also, not sure but I think that’s the first comic with Nick in this form where he was silent.

      Well, he does seem happy, in a kinda vacant sort of way.
