I wouldn’t say evil queen.
Maybe evil.
He’d be the sort whose perfectly agreeable as long as he is supplied with an endless supply of gowns, sundresses, and any other feminine wear.
It’s when one of the suppliers forgets that he becomes Evil.
That and when, in the one out of a million chance, he is shot down by someone
In panel 4, that definitely looks like a helmet reflecting light at the top. Perhaps Tip was only miming his embibing yesterday? That, or the helmet has an invisible one-way tea valve, which wouldn’t even be the silliest thing in this story. At the very least, a helmet would act as a chastity belt for tongue kisses, thus preserving princess purity.
“Pig and pals preserve princess purity with protective pinnacle perimeters.” Say that three times fast!
So we’ve had the candidate who aced all the physical / practical tasks, but failed miserably on the purity test.
So will attention now turn to the reluctant candidate who would ace the purity test but would probably need intensive training by the losing candidate before attempting Whimsy’s own training regime?
“Yes, we asked questions. We did not ask for the charts and graphs, the glossary page, and the step by step instructions for the olive oil. I will NEVER be able to look at a feather duster again, and I fully expect to have nightmares about the guacamole tonight. Sweet Mickey I need a freaking milkshake.”
“Me, too.”
“Same here.”
“SKREEEEEE!”
“I’m buying.”
(*sounds of robots shuffling off into the background*)
Like most people, they don’t understand that Tip has a superpower. It’s not a choice on his part; it just is what it is. And all beings with superpowers must use them. It’s fate; no sense in fighting it….
So did the Whimsy robots questionnaire cover everything, or did Tip have to spend hours on a “List other activities not becoming of a princess” section? I’m guessing the latter.
Wilkin: Whorier Princess. He’s not a classic-era Whimsy Princess, but he could be a VERY successful Princess/Psychologist/Bureaucrat on USA, The WB/CW, or (depending on what ends up on-screen) HBO.
This little piggy went *shudder* all the way home.
HAHAHAHAHA!
Ah, thank you.
Tip will always be a princess to us.
or even higher on the royalty ladder
Now that you mention it: He probably would make a good evil queen.

Tip gets the consolation prize:
Nick makeover.
“Totally worth it.”
It also reminds me of this.
I thought you were going to link to this.
Built in the 60’s? Yeah. Figures.
Admittedly, I tend to get like this when people get into too much detail about their “recreational activities”, and I was “built” in 1992.
presumably you know better than to ask!
Meanwhile, I’m scheduled to go to a bachelorette party where there is a non-zero probability of a donkey show before all’s said and done.
I get to be the designated driver.
Clearly I make poor life decisions.
“Without going blind”? Tip doesn’t . . . ? I guess when you can just go out to a bar and end up in bed by the last panel, you don’t need to.

Tip’s dirrrty.
Tip would make a great Czarina…
Very much in the Catherine the Great model.
And of course the rabbit is the one who says it…

Thanks to “Tales of Monkey Island,” my first thought was to use the Combine Inventory function to merge Tip and Nick into a being called… Tick? Nip?
Ah, but Nick has closely studied the entire Whimsy oeuvre, so princessing might come surprisingly naturally to him.
Nick also won’t have any trouble with the physical elements, if they bother with that – the android body doesn’t get tired.
And this is where being a shut-in turned helicopter finally pays off!

Silly rabbit. Sexual intercourse began in 1963… Between the end of the Chatterley ban and the Beatles’ first LP
Yes, but it hadn’t caught on yet, so the Whimsy characters hadn’t really noticed.
So did the Whimsy robots questionnaire cover everything, or did Tip have to spend hours on a “List other activities not becoming of a princess” section? I’m guessing the latter.
“We need a princess. We’ve got a fantastic candidate, really the first one in *years*. But he failed the purity taste so he’s out.”
Reminds me of the don’t ask don’t tell days.
Hmm. There is no “purity test” that gets to tongues on Q1. Most of them start much milder. It also reminds me of Pratchett’s Nanny Ogg…
Is it just the angle, or is Unity missing her animal ears in panel 1?
No one seems to have noticed or at lest commented on the pig sweating.
Or was that phrase just a north east expression?
