    It’s kinda surprising, but Nick does have friends.

      And some of them are in low places! πŸ™‚

        Baron is pretty short, after all. If he’s in “low places” in some other way I don’t want to know!

        He isn’t big on social graces either.

    You need extra money to purchase comics? You can get them easily via OnCredit.lk

      I don’t believe you are really Frank Sinatra, sir.

        It’s a depressing insight into the afterlife if he is.

        In Whimsy VR he could be! But he’s probably a mouse in an amazing suit and hat.

          No, that’s Seth McFarlane.

        Well, he could be a reanimated corpse, like our old friend Zombie Ben Franklin.

          … who repeatedly insists his name is “Dan” for some reason. Probably a victim of reality blindness.

      That is some amazing spam. Just barely relevant to the site it’s spamming in an amusingly specific and clueless manner. It gets two side-eyes from me.

      This is the result of reality blindness. On whose, part, I’m not sure.

    There’s big difference between someone who memorized a map and one who lives there.

      Someone who lives there can get around by feel and tell you how to get somewhere, but someone who memorized a map might have found a shortcut the resident never thought of.

        Now I’m remembering Vimes’ feet and thin-soled boots…

        As someone who has lived almost exclusively in the same house since I was born, I can assure you that if someone lives there long enough, they can tell you about shortcuts that don’t show up on any map. And they know about every single one that does show up on the map as well.

          Assuming this someone bothers going outside of his usual routine. I have lived 20 years in the same village and never visited half of it because it wasn’t near the school or one of my friend’s houses.

            If your usual routine doesn’t include some exploration, you’re really missing out. Every once in a while, you need to follow a path you’ve never been on, just to see where it goes.

    I feel the need to say that every character in today’s strip is super cute.

    Literal computer people, Nick. Literal.

      Are you trying to say that Nick’s “computer people” aren’t real?

        More that the word “real” in that context is ambiguous enough that it leads to her getting insulted by it, whereas “literal” would get his meaning across without further explanation.

    I would find it very satisfying if Mr. Green had all the NHS surrounded and just as he was poised to give the order to eradicate, Nera’s mom showed up and barked “Rosenkrantz! What the hell do you think you’re DOING?!”

      Okay, that would be funny. Probably not going to happen, but still funny.

    Never heard of Deus Ex Nickina before, but I like it….

    The signal, they’re trying to trace. There’s a lack of some processing space. Nera, she will try, now with sapient AIs. Nick’s friends have now entered the race.

    I hope the server is okay after all it’s been jostled around

    This is why Nick lost faith in humanity. He found superior alternatives and upgraded.

    I for one wish there were some way for Nera to give Aimee a big hug! πŸ™‚

    I just had a scary thought. What if Gavotte’s desire to protect NHS lifeforms was balanced by Pavane’s desire to – not evacuate – but eradicate them?

    She has gone out of her way to bring them all together. Been a suspicious presence lurking in Anasigma’s VR. Pavane might turn out to be a sinister threat!

      A disturbing possibility, but yes, a possibility nonetheless.
