    Tip is looking a bit like Dave today. Maybe some evil coffee would help?

      I’m thinking Klatchian coffee by the looks of him. He looks like he just had one Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster too many!

        If he had one Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, it was one too many.

    Wow. Just wow. I think that’s a record all time low for Tip. I wasn’t sure it was even him.

      Really makes it feel like less of a ‘strong preference’ for him to wear women’s clothing and more of a ‘necessity for his mental health’. I mean, because he likes him, don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to paint it as pathological.

        For somebody who’s used to being well-dressed, with a large and varied wardrobe, suddenly being reduced to a single outfit that you never wanted to wear in the first place, and now have no choice but to wear for several days straight, would be enough to drive you up the wall.

        Mind you, that might not be the only issue at play here. It doesn’t look like he’s shaved for days. Being one of the very few people in the office who’s still capable of doing their job, let alone being aware of what their job *is*, must be hard on a body.

      Yes, he owns underwear.

      …Assuming he didn’t have to give it to Tremontino along with the rest of his wardrobe in exchange for the suit.

    Okay, seriously.
    I thought that was someone else and not Tip. Some Intervention is clearly needed here.

    Tip’s looking pretty rough, there. Perhaps the clothes really do make the man. OTOH, at least he’s not so far gone that he doesn’t recognize Sweetheart as his boss.

    Huh. Could the weirdness suppressor be messing with his mojo? As Towering Barbarian said on the last page, he didn’t even _try_ to seduce any of the female supers.

      I think it’s more his sudden transformation into a manly man. He got his self-confidence from his lady clothes. http://skin-horse.com/comic/unnerved-him/

      There’s also the possibility that Niue ruined him for being attracted to human/non-human hybrids. Goose Girl and Cinderblock are, after all, a bit outré.

      Of course, that still leaves Panoptica and her fine derrière. But he was stuck in the same suit for three days. Maybe he just didn’t feel very seductive. He didn’t make anything resembling a pass at Nera, either.

        Well, how old is Nera supposed to be? I thought she was just a teenager. We’ve never seen any evidence Tip is into molesting minors. Even if she is eighteen or over, she might still be young enough for there to be an “Ew” factor at play here.

          Nera’s nineteen, near as I can figure. She’s old enough to have had a year of college already. Although Tip’s age has never been actually mentioned, since he was a Captain before joining Skin Horse I figure he’s in his mid to late twenties by now. He had run off with all the college girls in New Orleans and no one said anything about that.

    Is someone still counting fourth-wall breakages? Because I think Tip banging his head on the panel border counts.

    And “What’s our policy on wearing pyjamas to work?” is a question that’s always worth asking. (Well, almost always, I wouldn’t recommend it when they ask you if you have any questions during the interview.)

      Technically, if he breaks it, that’s the THIRD wall…

    New story arc, clearly. This is the third panel in a story chapter entitled “The Hundred Dresses”, at a point where Tip has precisely none. So I can’t say I’m exactly surprised to see him at an all-time low. The only way is up, and all that.

    At least Tip is rid of Tremontino’s suit! The power for the reality blindness must be coming from Tip’s mojo. But who could intervene with an emergency makeover for Tip? (I really want him to don the suit and accessorize it so it becomes his and confront his nemesis so Tremontino has to concede Tip’s mastery…)

    Where’d he get pajamas?

      The same place he hides Alice? I doubt it would be a national chain.

    I’ve got the solution for Sweetheart’s problem – tell everyone that Agent Fancy is a master of disguise, ala Teddy Salad in the Monty Python sketch.

      Might work. But just how often does Sweetheart have to go walkies?

    When Unity is calling you out about your personal hygiene, you have a problem.
