Haha nice wordplay at the end, I don’t see how he “sounds dangerous”. Either short what’shername’s being cheesy or she’s judging by the sound of her tone.
The recession has been hard on all job-seekers, and harder on cross-dressers whose previous job reference is “classified for reasons of national security.”. (I wonder if Unity has moved to the Necropolis? )
Maybe the Department of Agriculture needed his grant-filling-out skills, and making him take care of the chickens is their version of basic training. Or hazing. Or both. (shrug)
Gotta call on Wilkin, he’ll assist me,
Haven’t seen that guy for a while!
Stick of dynamite, the guy once kissed me,
Smooth ‘n’ suave ‘n’ always in style!
He’s covered in some HOT CHICKS!
They’re not for dating!
He’s got some HOT CHICKS!
Poultry he’ll breed!
Yeah, they’re some HOT CHICKS
He’s incubating!
Soon the plot will thicken,
Though the pay is chicken feed!
I like how even though he’s the “bad guy” from her perspective, Being and Working For “the man” after all. She goes right to him when the excrement hits the rotary.
Actually does say a lot for Tip as (presumably) honest and reliable, and possibly for Tigerlilly’s tastes….. Makes me actually think of an Empire quote that I’ll mangle – “He’s a rogue – You’d like him”.
I’m reasoning on the premise she’s not aware SH is defunct. She just knows he’ll be able to do something about it, or is in contact with those who can.
Its the same premise as going to the retired superhero, or the gritty ex-cop in various films and television tropes. Or in the case of the movie “If Looks Could Kill” – turning to the deep-agent known as “The French Teacher” to save the rest of the class.
EXTREMELY possible. Been longer than I like to admit since I watched the entire trilogy. 1991 perhaps? Marathoned it at a buddy’s house the night before flying home for Christmas from A school…..
Started watching Star Wars today and was astonished at how hokey things seemed. Part of it is probably the big screen effect (old shows/movies don’t do well in HD). Then again I’ve been listening to the podcast “star wars minute” lately and found myself actively looking for the nits they pointed out.
But no, POYO!!! (always in all caps, always with 3 exclamation points) is the cyborg secret agent kung fu master rooster from the comic “Chew”. He once battled Pengthulhu, and saved an entire fantasy world from sentient vegetables (and legumes)!
During her introduction storyline she and Tip shared a bed together. With their clothes on.
After she escaped, Tip remarked on a few occasions that his mojo hasn’t been up to snuff and, during Once and Future, Jones noted that her robots were coming out all non-funky and square. Presumably this is what they’re both referring to.
But they ARE mechanical. And I should look up what car she turned into a bot (which later is implied to have seduced Bubbles pre-gynoid incarnation.
I Imagine her (Tigerlilly) channeling the Blaxploitation films of the 70’s, and they usually (to my limited experience of WATCHING them) were Detroit based. Mechanical was the way to go, before the new-fangled computers were added to cars. Mechanical was King/Queen/Emperor before fuel injection and such came along.
The only Blaxploitation film I remember is “Brother from Another Planet” and that was more of a Kung-Fu type of flick, so springs don’t really come to mind for me either.
This joke is always funny.
Second.
Third. And fourth.
And fifth.
I did get me to audibly cackle. 🙂
Haha nice wordplay at the end, I don’t see how he “sounds dangerous”. Either short what’shername’s being cheesy or she’s judging by the sound of her tone.
How do you mean “cheesy?” 1950s assumption that a cross-dresser must be some sort of dangerous pervert?
Normally I’d agree with you on that point, but I feel I should remind you that the cross-dresser in question is both dangerous and a pervert
Sometimes a person draws the correct conclusions from faulty premises…
And “pervert” is sort of a loaded word. (I understand it can get you punched into the stratosphere in Japan. 🙂 )
Things that can steal your mojo are dangerous, people who can moreso.
The recession has been hard on all job-seekers, and harder on cross-dressers whose previous job reference is “classified for reasons of national security.”. (I wonder if Unity has moved to the Necropolis? )
According to Nick, they’re all still in black ops civil service, so apparently this is another division of that. USDA maybe?
It could be a test of cosmetics on these young birds – both of which Tip would be interested in.
This pun was so worth it
For once I’m not jealous of Wilkin.
I’m glad Jeff didn’t make a kitten (i.e. pussy) reference.
You know, with the speech-bubble placement it almost looks like it’s the chick in his hair that’s talking.
….now I want to see a well-spoken chick (the yellow fluffy sort that goes “peep”) in a tiny beret….
Telepathic ventriloquist chicks. Very dangerous. You go first.
Perhaps our favorite cross-dresser is getting a tiny friend? Pleeeeeeeze?
Geez…I thought when Skin Horse got shut down, they’d just be reassigned. Government hatchery?

Good thing Tip doesn’t work for A-Sig or his improperly situated hair net would get him extirpated.
Your comment is spot on, except you passed up the chance to use the word ‘snood’ (rhymes with food, not good).
… in my accent, “food” and “good” have exactly the same vowel sound. As does “snood”, though.
I’d say that hairnet is definitely not vintagey enough to be a snood.
Nor is it Rastafarian/Orthodox Jewish enough. 😉

Tip may be rethinking “working for the man”, so maybe it is time for Tigerlily to strike.

I think the word you are looking for is scoundrel.

Its cool, guys, its cool. Black ops chickens? This can only mean that soon Tip will team up with…POYO!!!
…or I can just go back to the wistful daydreams of a Chew fanboy.
Yoiks. I read “Ponyo”, and thought “whoa, how are they gonna squeeze that in here?”
El Pollo Ponyo? “Ponyo, Ponyo, Tip will set you free…”
But no, POYO!!! (always in all caps, always with 3 exclamation points) is the cyborg secret agent kung fu master rooster from the comic “Chew”. He once battled Pengthulhu, and saved an entire fantasy world from sentient vegetables (and legumes)!
Agents Chu and Colby would fit into a crossover nicely.
But U.N.I.T.Y. vs POYO!?! It would break the internet.
POYO!!!? That’ gotta be an acronym. Lessee… Poultry Of…. Of…. [brain crashes.]
Just as well Tigerlily didn’t say “smokin’ hot chicks”, or Tip would’ve been retroactively dumped into some horrific animal-testing scenario.
It may be a horrific animal-testing scenario: They used to used these birds, along with bunnies, to test cosmetics.
I know Tip’s a chick magnet, but this is rediculous.
He’s got the chicks for free, but where’s his money for nothin’?
Did I miss a bonus story somewhere? When did Tip steal her mojo?
During her introduction storyline she and Tip shared a bed together. With their clothes on.
After she escaped, Tip remarked on a few occasions that his mojo hasn’t been up to snuff and, during Once and Future, Jones noted that her robots were coming out all non-funky and square. Presumably this is what they’re both referring to.
I kinda wonder why Jones deals in springs and clockwork. They’re not noted for being particularly 70’s.
But they ARE mechanical. And I should look up what car she turned into a bot (which later is implied to have seduced Bubbles pre-gynoid incarnation.

If I remember correctly, Sweetdaddy Jupiter Velvet was previously a Cadillac Escalade.
