(TUNE: “You Can’t Hide Your Lyin’ Eyes”, The Eagles)
Tigerlily fears she’s lost her mojo …
Her robots have no funkitude, for sure!
Her normal lightning thoughts are moving so slow,
She says she might as well be on the Cure!
She’s saying that she’s got some information,
About which she must tell Tip, face to face …
They need to find a safe, secure location,
And Wilkin says, “I know the perfect place!”
They will hide … from prying eyes!
Though these two … make strange allies,
Annex One … helps them disguise
From wise-ass guys in ties with prying eyes!
A few years ago, I was in the grocery store and they were playing “Friday I’m in Love” as their musak. It wasn’t even almost closing time with an empty store and the night staff playing whatever they felt like, but like four in the afternoon with the place full of retirees and soccer moms. It was kind of surreal.
…. aaaand my MP3 player has pulled up “A Strange Day”…
Mustachio is a clockwork construct that Tigerlily already made modifications on when she was at full mojo. He definitely isn’t “the Man”. He might be Victorian, but he has funk (musical) in his metal now.
By the way, loading the site and loading replies and responses seems to be getting slower and slower. I never know if it’s me or you, except that most everything else seems to work normally.
It’s not just you. Unless you’re secretly me. In which case I/you/we still don’t have enough significant data to answer the question with any kind of certainty.
Aside from the fact I’m reading this in the future and it is Annex One,
The fact its a building indicates no. At least not for the duration of Dave’s involvement. First lab we encounter is above a dentists office – Destroyed by mail-sorting machine turned into a Weather Control device by Dave.
2nd lab – (for the remainder of the strip) was a converted sewer pipe (on a highway median if I recall).
Is the Purloined Letter not available in Ebonics?
Oh my… are we actually going to catch up with Helen and Dave in this story?
I don’t THINK that’s her sewer…
That’s what he said.
I was thinking because of “The Cure”…

You have no idea how good that sounded in my head…Kudos again Mr. Eddurd… 🙂
Hey, Annex One! Project Skin-Horse is (nearly) together again!
The rest of the tripwires are for the silverfish to zipline.
And then they become integral to the great escape sequence of The Crystal King, all the rage in the underground opera cirlces.
Don’t diss the Cure, Tigerlily. “Friday I’m in Love” is one of my favorite songs.

Does Moustachio count as “The Man?” Unless he’s been scrapped already…

Rock on.
I’m not even sure he’s a man, much less “the Man,” though he’s generally referred to as “he.”
“How do you sex a robot?” I’ll post a punchline soon as I think of one.
Same as you sex anything.
With terrifying groove.
He’s got a mustache
Considering how old “he” is, that isn’t necessarily determinative.
Where is Barbra Billingsley when you need her?
What is The Beav’s mom got to do with anything?
Why, because she could translate, of course.
The question on my mind is, will J&S be working a “jive turkeys” joke into tomorrow’s strip?
That had never occurred to me and now I can’t get it out of my head. Leftover radiation from the department of irradiation could be to blame…

I’m liking this story line more and more, Jeff.
Oh, I really hope that’s the old Narbonics lab…
