There’s also the question of skills. Combat isn’t just about “Who has the best gear” (though that certainly helps); it’s also about who can use their gear better. Which generally comes down to training, experience and reflexes. Meaning that, IRL, Ginny would get her ass handed to her. Fortunately, this isn’t real life.
And RK is exactly the sort of condescending jerk who will assume that a gurrrlll couldn’t possibly fight right (or do anything else right), and thus get his keister handed to him.
yes! me and my peeps did dr lee, tip, and tigerlily (me!) at arisia a couple years ago. we had props for sweetheart and nick <3 i think shaenon has photos someplace….?
Not really creepy, especially by internet standards 🙂 And I seem recall some cosplay pictures in some of the Sunday strips back in the day, but I don’t quite remember.
I am stunned that no one is commenting on Hitty’s choice of phrasing. Ginny is now Hitty’s idea of CUTE.
Also, consider the possibility that Nick refrained from peeking at the pretty scientist as she was partly clad, but is now focused intently on her in battle armor with loose, non-revealing external layers. So, maybe Nick’s idea of cute, too.
The only real question is HOW she is going to whomp RK. There are so many options, but with this much build-up, it will have to be something spectacular.
Well, technically, Hitty said that Dr. Lee “LOOK JUST LIKE PRINCESS,” which could also be interpreted to mean Hitty thinks Dr. Lee looks beautiful and regal in her new outfit, since princesses (at least fairy tale ones) are very often described as beautiful. Beautiful has rather different connotations than cute. However, one way or the other, it’s hilarious. (And awesome. 🙂 )
My favorite visual lately has been Alfie’s frown lines that verge on Grandpa Munster eyebrows. They took me aback at first, but I’ve really grown to like them.
Awwww. Nivk can be a gentleman when he wants to be. ♡
Friggin cellphone * NICK
Good for him 🙂
The helicopter is the princess here, Hitty.
Only as a hobby…and now I want them both to have a transformation sequence where they fight crime together. Science Power Make Up!
Note he never actually denies using them…
Nah, he’s a good Jewish boy…er helicopter.
He really isn’t looking, though. Everything is being recorded for posterity regardless.
So the version of RK without RK is herself. Time to punch some jersey devils
Rouge Knight get ready to meet Iron Princess!
So….he’s wearing the latest and greatest and she’s wearing the cast-offs. Someone’s gonna get an AW and it’s not RK.
She’s modified some of the gear. No doubt it operates more efficiently now.
Also? She has the power of righteous…er, semi-righteous…hmm…
She has the power of friendship on her side!
I’d forgotten that, despite her penchants for brain schlorping and weaponizing almost anything, she IS pure of heart.
That does count for something.
Yeah, she’s problematic that way…so far I’ve settled on that she’s a nice person, and a caring person, but not a particularly GOOD person.

Okay, wouldn’t that only work for ponies, not quasi-mad scientists?
^This. Also RK probably has no clue how most of it works, so it’ll likely be a matter of who knows how to use what they have better.

Does anyone know if there’ve been any Skin Horse cosplayers of Dr. Lee?
I hope that didn’t sound creepy. It’s currently 0443.
If memory serves, there’s been a Unity cosplayer and a Tip Wilkins cosplayer.
Didn’t sound creepy to me.
Do you know where I could find photos of the cosplayers you mentioned? I didn’t hear about those.

That butt cover looks like it’s been modified, in a good way.
What help could Alfie offer? He’s wearing a tube sock…

Also, I think Hitty looks awfully cute in that third frame, which is really pretty disturbing if I think about it too hard. 😀
Does that visor match her eyeglass prescription?
This is Dr. Lee we’re talking about – she reverse engineered the visor to *make* them prescription.
Was this post ment for /r/oculus?

Yeah, I love the eyebrows! 😀
