    I’m with the government, and I’m here to help! (WHAK!)

      I am trying to think of a president famous for fighting robots right now, but cannot. This disturbs me.

        Grover Cleveland. Often the target of time-traveling robots sent back by his nemesis, Andy Weir. For reference, read the completed webcomic “Casey and Andy.”

        Bob was there, too.

          You are a hero for referencing that long-forgotten treasure.

            Long-forgotten? Even I’ve read it. In fact, I recently reread the last 350 or so strips from that webcomic.

            Seriously. 1891: Grover Cleveland: “HAH! Suck it, Andy!” / Present day: “Your story lacks a certain… respect for causality.” is still one of my favourite punchlines, although I don’t get to quote it often enough.

        I can’t either, but Abraham Lincoln was a boss.

        There’s a few others that were cool, but I don’t have examples.

          Teddy Roosevelt. Now and forever.

          Andrew Jackson. Read up on how the failed assassination attempt went down.
          HINT: Sen. David Crockett held down the would be assassin while Pres. Jackson beat the /VEGGIMTIE/ out of him.

    (TUNE: “Help!”, The Beatles)

    Help!
    I’m from the government!
    Help!
    I used to be, I meant …
    Help!
    But still, I’m here to give
    He-e-e-e-elp!

    A few short weeks ago, I worked at Annex One …
    I never turned down help requests, it sure was lots of fun!
    Although my agency’s defunded and shut down,
    I’ll help you out! I know about
    Where services are found!

    Let me help you robots, if I can …
    We can come up with a social service plan …
    I will find your mommy, little man!
    Let me please, please help you!
    Help you!
    Help you-u-u-u!

      ……..Holy /SCRAP/ the 2nd part also works (mostly) for the Bubble Bobble tune.

    I find it funny that he’s so full of himself that he hasn’t worked out that they’re Jones’s bots.

      We *assume* they’re from Tigerlily.

    I love this comic – even if only to realize that Trip has great taste in boots and fantastic legs.

      Those are probably support hose.

    If, as we’ve been speculating, Tigerlilly Jones is indeed his mother…well, Dr. Wilkin wants her, too…

      The mojo just keeps canceling each other out.

    As has been noted before, it is easy to forget that Tip was an Army captain once upon a time.

    Admittedly, he does invite the forgetfulness, but still . . .

      Cited for valour and pulling comrades out of a burning vehicle, even.

      His competency as a psychologist seems to be much lower.

        He’s a fine psychologist. It’s being a THERAPIST he’s awful at. Which, to be fair, he isn’t trained for. Sweetheart even pointed it out in the first strips. He’s just moonlighting because he wants to be helpful.
