    Pretty sure it should be written as SCIENCE!

      Heh, so Sweetheart represents a new breed of dog: the Canadian Scienceherd.

        Don’t y’alls mean “Nerdherding”?

        That’s at least what they call people who manage engineers.

          Does that mean that Princess Leia’s line should actually have been, “you stuck-up, scruffy-looking, half-witted NERD herder”?

    Grumpiness IS her superpower. UNITY never stood a chance.

    Looks like Dr. Lee has some Mojo of her own!

    The Mojo of Shame.

      She’s also got regular Mojo, just she seems to go for Taco Bell and Pinball Museums.

    Remind me never to get on Sweetheart’s bad side…

    Sweetheart may not be able to perform a Mojo Teleport, but it seems that she is more than adept at travelling via Guilt Trip.

      Well Gavotte is grooming her, stern guilt-tripping is part of the repertoire.

        Best not to use the word “grooming” around Sweetheart, though.

    So this strip and yesterday’s demonstrate perfectly why Sweetheart has the rank of Field Commander. It wouldn’t surprise me if off-screen a substantial amount of fieldwork time is spent rounding up easily distracted agents and reminding them they’re supposed to be working rather than playing…

      Awright, boys and girls, listen up and listen up good! I am Field Commander Captain’s Fancy Valentine Sweetheart, but you will call me ma’am! You think you work for some fancy-dancy black ops agency? I own every one of you so-called “secret agents” as of here and now! When I say jump, you will not say how high! You will say ma’am, may I come down, ma’am?! You will disobey the law of gravity, but you will not disobey me! Do you read me!

      (chorus of “Ma’am yes ma’am”s.)

      What do you mean, “Off-screen”?

    (TUNE: “I’m Looking Through You”, The Beatles)

    I’m feeling grumpy,
    My temper’s short!
    Time to get jump-y,
    And teleport!
    You turn around when
    I call your name …
    I see right through you,
    You’re feeling shame!

    One member lacking,
    It’s Doctor Lee!
    I find her snacking
    Out by the sea!
    Strawberry cheesecake
    And champagne too …
    I see right through her!
    There’s work to do!

     We’ve got a scientist who’s still at large …
     I get her back in line,
     That’s why Gavotte put me in charge!

    My mood will take me
    To who knows where!
    So, girl, don’t make me
    Come over there!
    Don’t try to play me,
    Dear Doctor Lee …
    I see right through you!
    (Guilt works for me!)

    I’m starting to wonder if the Skin Horse universe is getting a little frayed around the space-time fabric. Possibly due to the use of that Quantum Gateway?

    Do you think any of them will remember this when they’re old and pixelated?

    This is not so far from a tactic that would work on Sweetheart.

    Sweetheart is a sapient canine super-weapon. I believe she qualifies as a genius herself; anyone arguing the point is a flea-bitten speciesist. 😉

    I still love the last panel. The image of dr. Lee is just perfect in capturing the pathos of the situation.

    @Sweetheart: I’m told it’s pretty easy once you get through the cranium and the membrane around the brain… -_^

    Yes, I know… Bad kitty, no cheezburgr, nyao.
