But Tigerlily can’t make robots anymore! Maybe they are the product of another mad, reprogrammed? Is hard to judge with such a small sample, but Flybot might have a thoroughly 80s Valley Girl accent
Nah, they probably still have springs in there somewhere. Much though Autons would do well in this world, I think the Nestene Consciousness is more a Little House sort of thing…
[CHORUS:]
She’s a beeping bot!
Just a beeping bot!
Chillbot thinks she’s cool, but she is not!
No one has been harmed …
Funkbot is disarmed!
Robots raid the vintage clothing store …
Leisure suits and platform shoes galore!
But that not the reason for this trip …
Tell the Mistress, we found Captain Tip! [repeat CHORUS]
Robots call each other bogue and square!
Wilkin then politely butts in there …
“If an edgewise word you will allow,
Would you like to be defeated now?” [repeat CHORUS]
Admit it, Wells: You used your mind control ray on Mrs. Garrity to ‘persuade’ her to let you write Skin Horse, solely for the purpose of continuing the tales of Tigerlily Jones, Imogene Frog, Titus Misanthropie, and last, but not least, /these androids/. They’re just too well-dressed to be anything but your work.
The real world reference to Mrs. Garriety (as opposed to Mrs. Garret – who bears no resemblance to the published photos of Shaenon) brings up an interesting question re Narbonic.
Namely (puns intended) – Did Dave and Helen legally marry, and if so did they take married names or keep their names for professional reasons? Which name (or both?) did the un-named (in my memory – I need to finish my current re-read) time traveling daughter of the two take? Another option (like a stage name) is taking a married name legally, but keeping the original name as a pseudonym for professional reasons.
NPR’s Planet Money did a show on married names a couple of years ago – best part was when they covered a double-hyphenated wedding – where the the couple picked the least common surname of the four as their new married name.
Double re-read confirms that the time-traveling (present but existing as a potential???!!!) Daughter of Dave and Helen remained un-named – even in the bonus story from volume 6. Barring the bonus story – She only appeared at the bar, which I don’t recall was ever named.
I’m just terrified at the possibility of mojo coming into play…. (And by terrified I mean, “would perpetually refresh the page in hopes that a second comic came out on the same day”.)
eh, she’s getting better with the robot’s

She can make robots – but she can’t build giant robots anymore, and they come out squarer than Imogene. Because the Man, or possibly that man, messed with her head.
With the robot’s what? Also, which particular robot?
Tiger Lilly has Autons now?
Nah, they probably still have springs in there somewhere. Much though Autons would do well in this world, I think the Nestene Consciousness is more a Little House sort of thing…
I thought they were refuges from a Doctor Who episode.
Everyone is doing crossovers these days.
That shared universe thingie! :>)
They are. They’re living plastic. Hence why they’d fit better with the Little House: Hail the New Flesh :p
love that tip hasnt let go of his boxes.
Priorities.

Shaenon confirmed in the comments that her name is Rosalind.
I wonder if Tigerlily Jones can build robots that can make giant robots, since she can’t do so herself.
Foot is still out there, so *someone* can still create giant robots.
Well, Madblood certainly set out to construct an entire giant robot, but… funding is a limited resource.
She made them out of mannequins, didn’t she?
I agree. It definitely appears she uses the mannequins as a exo-skeleton and mold for the machines. That, and it’s easier to dress in funky fashions.
says the “guy”? Looks like a gal. Gender indeterminate? Oh… of course… they are all “man”-nequins!
How is Tip going to defeat them? I’m hoping for Therapy Puppet Dance Off.
I’m just terrified at the possibility of mojo coming into play…. (And by terrified I mean, “would perpetually refresh the page in hopes that a second comic came out on the same day”.)
Oh sweet Lord in Heaven, by all that is holy, please let that not come true, I beg of thee. There is only so much our tattered sanity can hold.
Like a cross between the Autons and The Clique from “Metal Men” comics.
Look out! Autons!
those don’t sound like tigerlily bots at all…
