    Oh, dear… he’s already hit upon Tip’s weakness.

    is it weird how i ship Tip with basically everyone he interacts with? or is that just a side effect of the mojo

      He’s like Jack Harkness, it’s okay.

      If “omnisexual” is an actual word, I bet you can look it up in the dictionary under “Tip”. Or possibly “Artie”. Or both.

        Hey, Max, were you ever told that you were “Omnifutuent”….?I was, at some time in the distant past.

    a werewolf fur coat, made up of your own fur. It’s not animal cruelty if you’re the one suffering for it.

    Well, someone told me about him,
    They promised me.
    Well, someone told me about him,
    His sociometry.

    It’s getting late to get the Cypress.
    What should we do, what should we dare?
    Let’s not bother looking for others.
    He’s right there!

    Well, let me tell you ‘bout the job he did,
    He stopped the zombies, the werewolves, this they swear.
    His brochures saved the world, as just a side effect,
    And he’s right there!

    Well, someone told me about him.
    Should I believe?
    Well, someone told me about him.
    Can we conceive?

    Three zombie apocalypses, if you count working with Unity.

      …well, with Unity, sometimes you stop her, sometimes you don’t. It probably cancels out.

        And one of the places they saved from Zombies was St. Charlie, so that’s also kind of a net neutral.

    Rinku: I have lost ALL respect for Unity since she got her bragging azz ripped off. She always has been useless, but at least she kept a ‘talented’ administrator
    involved.

    I was wondering, a couple of days ago, why this guy was “Mr.” Ask, and not “Dr.” Ask. But I’m not sure if every mad scientist we’ve encountered has a doctorate in something or other.

      He’s probably a self-educated genius on the order of Thomas Edison or such. ^_^

      Sometimes they go mad mid-doctorate.

      Maybe he’s a “grad-student-who-does-all-the-work” type. The Unknown/Universal Soldier of the research lab, forever doomed to ghostwriting grant proposals, collecting, analyzing and writing up data, and credited as “et al.” while their dissertation committee rotates “first author” status.

      We’ve already seen the product of a mad scientist who lacks a doctorate. Artie’s creatrix tried to get one but went mad in the middle and never went back to finish it, and I’m not sure her husband has a doctorate either.

        Well, they referred to her as “Doctor” Narbon. M. D. then?

          Helen’s mom was Dr. Narbon, but I don’t recall it being M.D.

      perhaps one of his other personalities is the one with the doctorate?

      The younger Helen Narbon only got to MSc. The fact that she wasn’t Dr Narbon was a bit of a sore point for her.

    I love how Tip is trying to downplay his adventures while simultaneously making sure that he knows it was two zombie apocalypses. No sense removing all pride from the situation.

      I like to think it’s more about accuracy.

    Well at least they are finding common ground.
