Nich Maragos (nichm) says: Today’s installment finally made me click through to WCN to see whether or not this storyline was called “The Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly.”
Jack Charos (jackofchaos) says: The only solution is to eliminate one of the links in the chain.
Jack Charos (jackofchaos) says: Oh. And the mushrooms definitely aren’t cute!
Sean O’Kelly (malakai47) says: Too bad over the course of those three years he completely forgot why he went down there in the first place. That poor lipliner is lost to time now…
Justin Grubbs (the_purple_knight) says: Snakes don’t even have noses. how can theey get sniffly?
John Campbell (jcampbel) says: And that being several millennia in silverfish years, their civilization has risen and fallen in the meantime, and nothing remains for yards around but the broken-off legs of one of the Ozymandias trophies from Cat and Girl.
John Wells (johnwwells) says: Jack: Mushrooms are ALWAYS cute.
John Wells (johnwwells) says:
A bit of Googling… and
“Q. My snake makes a hissing sound every time he breathes in and out. Why is he doing that?
A. Look closely at your snake’s nostrils. It may just be a piece of stuck shed skin from an improper shed. If there is none, there is a good chance that it is a Respiratory infection. In mild cases, a raise in the temp. and proper humidity levels will be enough to clear it up. If your snake has a foamy substance in his nostrils, it is a sign of advanced Respiratory infection, and should be treated by a vet.”
Conclusion: Snakes really do get the sniffles.
Basil Jelly (basil_jelly) says: Solution Unity Kerosene match
Tiff Hudson (tiff_hudson) says: Alcohol burns cleaner and is less likely to set off the smoke detector. Just make sure it’s not ethanol – you wouldn’t want to waste something you could drink.
Ed Gedeon (eddurd) says:
Well, now, to get rid of the mushrooms … just call some plumber (and his brother) to come in, climb through all the tubes, and jump on top of them. If there are any megalomaniacal turtles down there, the plumbers can kick them out of the way as well.
Adam Underfoot (unnatural20) says: Seeing the chorus of “Noooo!” in the first panell immediately made me visualize a scene from Freakazoid. Specifically, the episode “Candlej—.” A bunchof children in the camp warn Freakazoid not to say “—-lejack,” with a similar chorus of “Noooo!”
Dave Van Domelen (dvandom) says: At least the snakes say the mushrooms are able to talk. Which, of course, means that they don’t speak English at all. Or any language Tip knows.
Indigo C (indigo) says: Or they’re psychic mushrooms and communicate telepathically.
Jeffrey Channing Wells (channing) says:
dvandom: Oh, come on. What are the odds that the mushrooms actually speak English? I mean, really.
D. Connolly (theogrin) says:
Naturally, the mushrooms are being menaced by giant badgers, forcing them to do their bidding.
I vote Tip eventually snaps, breaks down, and nukes the site from orbit.
Robin Zimmermann (packbat) says: Relating to the storyline title: am I the only one who’s thinking of Hello Kitty?
Patricia Lupien (patricia_lupien) says: My husband says this hold storyline reminds him of a Looney Toons cartoon with the Chicken Hawk trying to all these things for everyone else in order to get a chicken. He suggested Tip get a little Red Wagon.

What was it someone said earlier about Tip finding out there’s no bottom to hit?
apple apple (mutevampire) says: at this point isn’t Tip dealing with a benign enough group that isnt as rooted in as, say, the centipedes or silverfish are; that he could just bring the trio upstairs and get them positions in similar fashion to his company usually does?

Owl Who says South (owlsayssouth) says:
apple apple: only problem there is that the company probley doesnt have a day care… and putting the corbas in one could cause some problems in any case.
talking mushrooms: we only try to eat the corbas because our tyrant King tells us to. please, free us from the spiked Turtle king of the talking mushrooms!
iam sorry princess, the solution to this problem is in another section of the sub-basements.
Edwin Quantrall (reynard) says:
Problem: Talking mushrooms.
Solution: Pizza! (They go great with onions, olives, pepperoni and sausage…)
Basil Jelly (basil_jelly) says: I wanna’ see the mushrooms that eat cobras.
Alycia Shedd (leeshajoy) says: …and at this point Tip realizes he could just go out and buy more lipliner.
Oh joy, Mycoinds. This is going from animals to dungeons and dragons awfully fast. Of course I suppose to sub basement of this place is like a dungeon, and everything Tip has encountered are either are foes or quest givers. XD

This plotline must be powered by Energizer batteries; it just keeps going and going and going and going and going and going and…
Where is Shelby Silvers when we need him? Or are there just too many drains to unclog?
Oh joy, Mycoinds. This is going from animals to dungeons and dragons awfully fast. Of course I suppose to sub basement of this place is like a dungeon, and everything Tip has encountered are either are foes or quest givers. XD
