Hey, no hating on ‘Tosa. I went to high school there. Okay, technically Pius XI HS (Pi Hi Ex I) is in Milwaukee, but it’s on the border. It’s also named for a Nazi collaborator. Imagine my pride.
Errrrrrrrrr, how does Shaenon know about Wauwatosa? Thought that anyone who wasn’t a local just thought it was another silly name in WI, like Sheyboygan. (Which, at least, had a creature attack it…)
So they really are transmuted to animals. I thought it’d be funny it that was only something the children believed. So did mandatory animal forms begin before or after Colma. How old was Daphne when she transformed.
Once you have been transmogrified into a different order of the family mammalia, very little can surprise you anymore. Anyway, as a member of _this_ government, in _this_ world, she’s probably accustomed to talking with people whose elevator no longer goes all the way to the top.
Ooh yes, he could have totally rejected his human form developed the technology to remove it and then got into a position where he could start applying it to all humans.
As DE alludes to, since it’s the mirror verse, I was thinking of what Hitte’s equivalent would be. Now that I’m pondering it again, Bubbles could have potential if her Mirror! self had found a way to communicate in a way that would be embraced by the masses.
Also, I just realized if Bubbles was the President, all the citizens who are part of those “masses” or followers, if you will, might speak a very different language. (Which would be its own interesting twist.)
Alt.HT is a self-sacrificing hero huh?
Truly, this is indeed a Looking-Glass Land.
Although given that Sweetheart apparently held/holds the same love for paperwork in this universe, maybe not everyone’s quite so different.
Anybody can sacrifice their lives, especially if they know they’ll come back from the dead and join the zombie community.
He was protecting a supply of tasty snacks
A convenient hero can be eulogized in ways they wouldn’t have recognized in life.
Waukesha would be a more ironic battle site. (Supposed to mean “Little Fox”, at least I was taught that growing up there.) Boo, ‘Tosa.

Pius the Eleventh or Pius the Twelfth? ‘Cause they’re two different pontiffs, you know…

Must be Jeff’s doings
Contrariwise, she may not know it very well; the House of Good Shepherd and St. Joseph Orphanage apparently both closed as orphanages around 1970.
Nohow, it’s possible this timeline differs from ours on that detail.

am i the only one that finds it wierd that nobody finds it weird when they say “this world”?

There are now only three possibilities for the President: Mell, Unity, or Sweetheart. I’m not sure which scares me more.
Unity is fused with the cypress at colma
Don’t forget mirrors M and Gavotte.
Is mirror-Artie accounted for?
We last saw Alt!Artie along with the soon to be departed Alt!Sergio in the first episode of this chapter http://skin-horse.com/chapter/looking-glass-land/
Looking back through that, I just realized why Unity had steak sauce
Mirror-Artie? (“Owwwww!”)
Ooh yes, he could have totally rejected his human form developed the technology to remove it and then got into a position where he could start applying it to all humans.
HT on the side of goodness and right? What bizarre, dystopian world that has such creatures in it?
Or, what we call an orphanage, he calls a grocery… *his* grocery!
Since Sweetheart has twice as many feet, she does have an expanded capacity for stuffing them in her own mouth. As demonstrated here.
I think a fitting President might be Hitte.
Hitte? Then why not Bubbles?
Mirror!Bubbles: Being Served Is Her Only Joy.
Or, what KIND of “service” is her only joy? (put that pistachio cream down!)

I nominate the Hamsters. ^_~
Not the gerbils from Narbonic?
H.T. the Martyr. Wow….. At least he died in a dramatic manner; that was probably a comfort.
