Poor Ira doesn’t even know the building was shut down and abandoned. How does he even get paid, or did they retire him and he is mistaking his pension check for a pay check?
I refuse to believe that Tigerlily Jones would refuse to lay down some aid to a dude who is so audaciously, bodaciously, and almost *salaciously* a victim of the Man.

Square Cerberus, you better let me in
That irradiator I will solid win
These other teams are bogus, gonna tank
You can take that truth-bomb, baby, to the bank
I’m Captain Beyond, yo
Captain Beyond, yo
With Mamma Foxfire, I’m at Annex One
We’re Dark Matter Rangers, here to get shit done
I’m big and blonde, but I got soul to spare
So don’t jive me, turkey (and don’t touch my hair)
I’m Captain Beyond, yo
Captain Beyond, yo
Ain’t a thing you got can drop me to my knees
Got no fear of Temporal Anomalies
And that Dane’s a joke, just watch me go for broke
With my power toke, you all can eat our smoke
I’m Captain Beyond, yo
Captain Beyond, yo
It’s amazing how much a costume helps make the character. My mom was a drama teacher and so many times kids were unable to act the character out — they knew their lines but just.. Couldn’t act. On goes the costume and suddenly they WERE That character. That’s what this is reminding me of.

She’s a resident of Colma, CA. She was one of the first witnesses to what the swamp was doing to Emperor Norton’s zombies. http://skin-horse.com/comic/right-while/
The Cerebus comic often used names that were adaptions or twists on the names of other comics or fictional characters or real people. So it is a pretty nifty pun to use that name as a twist on the mythical guardian.
I heard it was because the comic company was supposed to be called Cerberus Comics, but they accidentally called it Cerebus Comics instead. By the time they noticed the mistake, it was too late to change it so they decided “Cerebus” was the name of their aardvark mascot, who eventually got his own comic. And that’s when things got weird.
Whether she’s looking for government agency titled “Temporal Anomalies” or actual temporal anomalies, I’d say she’s in the right place.
Now whether she’s going to get out of this contest intact is another thing altogether. It’s wouldn’t surprise me if she wins the irradiator by accident.

What you really need to ask is: “How does Ira pay rent?” Or even: “does Ira even have a home?”
I refuse to believe that Tigerlily Jones would refuse to lay down some aid to a dude who is so audaciously, bodaciously, and almost *salaciously* a victim of the Man.
I don’t remember
That assumes that he does have a home. It’s possible he just sits there until he falls asleep, like a dog waiting for a master who abandoned it.
In fairness to Ira, maybe the Federal government doesn’t know it either. Stranger things have happened. >_>
Given that D of I was getting paid through a “funding anomaly”, he’s probably still getting paid.
That or Tigerlilly is just paying him to stand guard now.
Is that Manifesta?
Woohoo! Yeah, that’s me, only I wish I could get my hair to lay so nicely.

Square Cerebus shall be my new ironically named post-post-modern deconstrucivist funk band.
I may have dropped a negative or two, but I’m pretty sure that makes it a Beach Boys cover band.
That’s… not so bad, is it? I’d love to hear a funk version of “The Sloop John B.”
As long as it’s not pre-post-modern, I hate that stuff.
… Can I have what he’s having?

Does the size of the bell-bottoms matter in that case?

The elevated ones don’t make mistakes, but their characters may.
Also, twist! She’s the Dane! And so’s Ira. And they’re both dead.
“Square Cerberus” doesn’t have the same pleasing assonant ring to it, though
Who’s this girl again? Where’s she from?

Looks like her. But I don’t think it is. Her name is and she featured prominently in the mirror universe.
Her name is Kay. Note sure why auto correct deleted the entire word.
Her name is Kay because my name is Kay.

Didn’t the name Cerebus originally come about because Dave Sim got mixed up on how to pronounce Cerberus?

And we didn’t think he’d be able to handle this contest…
He certainly can talk the talk, but will that impress the killer bicycles? 🙂

She didn’t *say* it was a government agency…just that her insurance company sent her there.
Do insurance companies even cover temporal anomalies?
Captain Beyond is my new favorite character. I am DYING for him to meet Tigerlily.
To those who are worried: Sunday content coming later today. Just coordinating something with Shaenon. Thanks!
Good, ’cause I was wondering…
“I’ll groove the flesh from your bones” is still one of the greatest lines ever written.
