I assumed it was Mr. Green talking but Sergio in the tank receiving remedial motivational training in support of corporate values. I’m probably wrong, though.
The trouble with that theory is that she’s looking at the guy in the tank. It would be strange for someone else to ask if he looks like a supervillain if he’s only talking over an intercom and she can’t see him.
I think it looks more like alt!Sergio, what with the sideburns and all.
Perhaps the transmission of his “graphic demise” was interrupted just before sociologist Claire Connelly dragged what was left of him to safety.
I suppose this word of Our Heroes being diverted to meet up with these guys means one thing: just *getting* to Colma and the Biomass and Evil Unity is definitely going to be more than half the fun.
With all the Oz references, we now have a wicked witch in the west, who can be defeated by pouring water on him (because it will short out the iron lung).
Any bets on them being diverted by drones? As modern flying monkeys and all.
Yeah, I was going to say Artie also, but now I think it has to be alt-Sergio. Shaenon draws Sergio in profile with that same flip of hair sticking forward and the same sideburns. Compare the last panel at http://skin-horse.com/comic/so-the/
Now: is he the one speaking, or is tha the Cypress speaking, or someone else, or something else?
The most tragic characters of all are those whom being genre savvy does no good. ~_~
Now I know we’ve seen this guy before…
Alt!Sergio is my bet. I see several others have the same idea.
Alt!Mr.-Green, more likely.

Hey, maybe this particular happentrack has a *real* Dr. Ao…

Evil consultants tell you you have a morale problem. Really evil consultants tell you you have an escapee problem.
The key question here is “has anyone _ever_ been dumped in the giant shark tank?”
Yes. The shark.
The sharks were _gently lowered_. You don’t want to traumatize your sharks.
Yeah, don’t hurt the cutie-sharks.
Didn’t Mel have glasses and a little forelock like that?

Yeah, but no sideburns. It’s Sergio, I think.

I think it’s Mr. Green. I suppose there’s a story of why he’s in the iron lung, and, I guess, we’ll get to hear it.
But – not sufficiently different from the Mel we know and love.

I’m thinking this is Artie The chain-smoking, evil mastermind version of him.

This story arc is just one long stream of shocking plot twists, isn’t it?
Do people in iron lungs really need their glasses on?
Only to read the video screen and stuff reflected in the mirror hanging inches above their faces.
So, is this what years of smoking (and not not smoking because of the time thing) have done to poor Mr. Davenport?
Claire looks familiar. What’s her deal again?

Right, right. Thanks.
Hmm, could be Mr. Green talking, or it could be Gavotte. Hard to say…
