Awwwwwwww….. Sweetheart looks so happy! CHARTS WILL SAVE HUMANITY!!! (Well okay, not humanity so much as nonhuman sapients. But still, charts!) Also, I love Unity’s shirt.
I always love it when Sweetheart is happy. That expression is so wonderful. I’m not sure if it’s because she’s a dog or in spite of being a dog (and just good cartooning).
now the question is, does Sweetheart have highlighter in colors she can’t see? because interpreting an unfamiliar highlighting system where red and green are used interchangeably sounds like an escape room puzzle.
I feel that to read your first sentence aloud is to make the answer obvious. Of course she does: red highlighter smells COMPLETELY different than green.
I mean, no one on the planet except America, Liberia, and Burma uses yards these days, and I’m pretty sure there’s way more Brutalist architecture in America than in the other two combined.
Similarly, I’m pretty sure there’s way more Brutalism in First and Third World countries than there is in Second World ones – people just tend not ignore that, and only focus on the “Soviet” aspects of the style for some reason.
Every name that Mr. Green has used for himself has been related to a colour (Goldbug, Violet, etc.). And he controls the Maragda building. Maragda, as Pygar noted, means emerald.
Carlo Collodi authored The Adventures of Pinnochio, who, as we all know (or should), was a wooden marionette who came to life. In much the same way, the Collodi in our story created animatronics that came to “life” (i.e. became sapient). Both Collodi men died before their time, never to realize just how influential their greatest creations would become.
I’ve had a hard time sleeping the past few nights; this morning I dozed off on the couch. I had a flash of Artie saying “I’m coming for you.” Should I be worried?
It’s gonna be that meme of the guy and the conspiracy charts, isn’t it?

There is a sort of Narbonic quality to it…
CHARTS WILL SAVE INHUMANITY!

“…Wait! Wait. I worry what you just heard was, ‘Give me a lot of colored highlighters.’ What I said was, ‘Every color you have.’ Do you understand?”
Excellent use of reference.
I was mortified that I had gotten the original quote slightly wrong. 🙂
You don’t have to tell Sweetheart to be meticulous!
And he has the hand puppets standing by as we speak!
Tip, don’t flirt with Sweetheart in front of her girlfriend!

Now we need the scented markers too!
Don’t they still have their ID cards?
Giant org chart? Fine. Multicolored highlighters? Still okay, but starting to worry. If he asks for thumbtacks and yard, that’s when you say no.
But there really needs to be some Post-It notes involved.
Yeah, this is a brutalist architecture building. There are no yards

Yet another Soviet concrete balcony falls
This is now the second-best day Sweetheart has ever had.
It was a great decision to stop the strip before Sweetheart lost control and embraced Tip
I agree.
Gratuitous face licking is not my thing.
Maragda is where they once worked but now Skin-Horse’s run by a jerk. Infiltrate, an art, but they need an org chart, with markers of color—a perk.
Things have become truly dire when they must resort to (*shudder*) bureaucracy!
Bureaucracy? I think not. As I see it, Tip is doing one of two things:
1. Tip is pandering to Sweetheart’s weaknesses (see: obsessions) to get her on board with his plan, no matter what it may be.
2. Tip is pandering to Sweetheart’s weaknesses to get her out of the way for a while.
I hope it’s the first one.
Wouldn’t be the first time Tip has harnessed the powers of bureaucracy. Remember how they ended up with Nick in the first place?

I think unusual names like Maragda and Collodi must be references that I’m missing. (There’s probably others that I don’t even know I’m missing!)

Thanks, awgiedawgie!
Maragda= Emerald; It sez ‘ere Carlos Collodi wrote Pinocchio, ‘ere being Google.
No word if he ever got an answer.
Thanks, pygar!

Gerbil?
