It is the next morning, after all. And for what it’s worth, Lt. Eris is also wearing a different outfit. And there’s a fair chance that the clothes they were wearing the night before were somewhat… damaged.
Given that the locked bomb collar was specifically a plot point, and the consistently inconsistent way he’s wearing it, EITHER his mojo is acting up suspiciously OR Eris took it off him because it was killing the mood OR we’re going to look over this again and it’s all going to make a whole lot more sense later.
Yay for magic. It’s a Christmas miracle.
Continuity-Induced Santa: Have you been a good boy this year?
Tip: …I’m the best there is at what I do, and some of it involves hand puppets!
Continuity-Induced Santa: … ok, you’re getting a bomb collar.
You had to say that, Sweetheart.
Let’s face it, somebody had to. Sweetheart just has enough experience to know when to jump on that particular grenade.
Did you forget to draw Tip’s bomb collar in the last panel?
Yeah, I was wondering if he mojo’ed out of it.
Just another mistake, it seems.
I KEEP FORGETTING TO DRAW THE DANG BOMB COLLAR AND IT WAS MY IDEA IN THE FIRST PLACE.
[…maybe we shouldn’t mention Tip is wearing a different outfit than when he and Lt. Eris went off together…]
Naw, that’s totally in continuity for Tip.

.
There’s also a fair chance that this conforms to the standard trope of having a woman show up the next morning in clothes borrowed from her paramour.
If that were the case, she’d be wearing a dress.
It’s okay, it’s okay! You can just fix it in post!
Just put it in the wash! It’ll be grand!
That’s okay. I keep forgetting that it’s not a fashion accessory.
Oh yeah, Tip is capable of doing just that. Mojo is a powerful thing.
He probably forgot to put it back on….might have been distracted for a moment.
Or two.
Yeah, Nick already did that.
… oh, wait, they’re going into Pennsylvania, not Virginia…
Somehow I get the feeling that Nick has not been proceeding slowly.
Sorry, Peirson, but it’s not their fault y’all didn’t bring along more women folk.

I mean it could be an art error again, but given it’s an infiltration plot that specifically calls it out it’s an important one to keep making…
or the authors are deliberately trolling us.
Or that’s a doppelgänger, not Tip.
I kinda hate to tell you guys, but the collar has magically appeared in the picture.
Yay for magic. It’s a Christmas miracle.

Well, if you want to see the collarless Tip, it’s still up on GoComics.
“Exactly what a plant would say!”
