The “number of unwanted explosions per attempted launch vs. time” graph for rocket research follows a characteristic curve. It start out at zero. After a while, it shoots up towards 1.0 and hovers in that area. Finally it starts nosing back down again. When it gets down around 0.25, you’re ready to take on passengers.
…unless you’re NASA, in which case every non-zero datapoint is followed by one or more decades of “no data”, while they diligently attempt to reassemble their coveted ninety-nine nines, because nothing less will do. Or was it nine-hundred-ninety-nine nines…?
It baffles me why people shit on SpaceX for having unmanned test rockets explode, when NASA have killed over a dozen astronauts. Surely people ought to realise that it’s the manned ones that really matter, and if nothing ever explodes then you aren’t pushing your limits.
I see the colorist couldn’t decide whether the top half of Tip’s mouth was teeth or the bottom half was tongue, so they just split the difference. This usually works, as long as it’s not an art reuse gag. D’oh!
Seems to me that the problem is that the dividing line changes places, and the ratio of top to bottom would make it unsuitable for teeth/mouth in the first or mouth/tongue in the second.
Maybe Tip’s changing how intensely he’s speaking.
Mercutio’s pretty big on believing it’s safer,
Happy that Tony brought guests to call.
But the Groovitron has some multiple problems.
Maybe some distance might be the best for all.
But those rose-colored glasses
That he’s peering through
Show none of the danger
‘Cause they don’t show the truth.
With this gizmo displaying some crimes, some signs,
They have spoken to them about the orgone.
And their efforts are putting these strangers in danger.
The reflections on their lenses just show what is known.
But those rose-colored glasses
That he’s peering through
Show none of the danger
‘Cause they don’t show the truth.
So they just keep on hoping, believing
Though the risk of explosions is greatly reduced
They’ll believe him when he says, “It’s harmless.”
That’s what those rose-colored glasses deduced.
But those rose-colored glasses

I’d say Tip learns quick, but I’m sure that this is actually old hat (if hats were in) for him what with having been Unity’s coworker for any amount of time.
So Antonio appears to provide the astronomy, Mercutio provides the spirituality, and apparently Tigerlily somehow provided the motivation for the cosmognothics movement.
I wonder if H.T. knows of her involvement with the possums. Scary thought of the two of them being in the same area.
Mercutio?
And Antonio. Brush up on your Shakespeare.
.
Aren’t they from two different plays?
Mercutio’s from romeo and Juliette and antinio’s from merchant of venice.
Hah! There’s an in-joke.
Antonio is the single most common character name in Shakespeare’s plays.
But his name’s Anthony, at least according to the tiger. As in Antony and Cleopatra. Sort of.
I have it on good authority that were you to do so, they would then all kowtow.
Groovitron? Uh, oh!
Hippy marsupials? Gonna sleep worse than Cartman tonight…
Does this mean the return of Tigerlily Jones?
…..wait a minute. Groovitron? Far out? Mad Science?
Where is Tigerlily Jones and how is she involved in this?
When Tip reaches Lovetron, he will achieve true Mojo Enlightenment.
Yesss
And while I’m 87% sure Tigerlilly Jones is already involved….
How hilarious would it be if Tip managed to get to lovetron first

Next time, provide model sheets!
