    You’re a talking dog, Sweetheart. You don’t have much room to, uh, talk.

      Ah, but even if Sundance can use psychokinesis, why would any sane person do that to a dog?

        See, it’s only /implied/ Joshua made the dog psychokinetic. Perhaps he adopted it after the plague claimed its first victims.

          Why would any sane person adopt a psychoken—ah, who’m I kidding? That’s be awesome, and I don’t even like dogs.

      She knows quite well that her own creator isn’t sane.

    I think I’ve been reading Shaenon’s works for too long. My only response to his statement about his dog was “Who names their dog Sundance?”.

      I once knew a dog named Futon; after that, Sundance sounds perfectly reasonable.

        I’ve heard tell of a dog named Deogi. That’s pronounced, D O G.
        I’ve also met a dog that collects rocks. It’s not relevant to our discussion but I like to bring it up when I can.

          I once had a cat that liked to collect Scrabble tiles and charcoal briquettes and put them under the living room carpet

            One of my ex-girlfriends had a cat with opposable thumbs.

            Thumby cats I’ve seen. Opposable is something else again, they bred it I hope?

      My bet: a dead guy named Butch.

      Like a deinonychus named Old Lace, some names only make sense in a dyad.

    Today’s Sheldon strip reminded me so much of Tigerlily Jones.

    And I guess the utilitarian approach to proper disposition of funk is very much in line with good notary practice, too!

    A boy and his dog.

    I thought Dr. Kirk was the maddest of them all – then this guy Joshua came along, now I’m not so sure.

    I’ve always wondered how Sweetheart gets along with *dogs*… all she knows about pets would come from keeping Unity!

      I’m wonderind the same thing.

    I love it when characters you never expected just wander up and introduce themselves…

    Where in the world does Shaenon get these wild ideas from? Mad scientist with a pack of obedient attack…bicycles. And a second scientist with bikes that…teleport. But just to top it off, the two scientists hate each other because one uses recumbent bikes and the other uses upright. Heck, I’ve had acid trips that made more sense.

    And that’s only the start of the silliness, but she makes it work. Somehow her characters come alive. Like Pratchett with his flat world on elephants on a turtle swimming through space, the silliness feels right. Shaenon needs to be winning more awards.

      I’m pretty sure the bicycles were Jeff’s idea

        I know some of these storylines are from him and some from her. Any way of telling, or do they just throw ideas out to play off of?

          A good rule of thumb seems to be that if it’s hard to draw, it is Jeff’s idea. Other than that, you can read some of the work they do/did on her own.

            Also, if it indicates complete insanity on the part of the author, it’s usually Jeff. If it indicates moderated insanity on the part of the author, it’s probably Shaenon. Case in point: Nigel the anti-gravity ferret.

      In truth, we owe all thanks to you guys for being cameo-level Kickstarter contributors; most of these colorful characters are drawn straight from the profiles of our readers. We just weird them up a bit.

      It doesn’t take much.

        I wondered if Joshua was a cameo. 🙂

        I love his expression in his first-appearance panel.

        Not much indeed.

        Recumbant bikes… feh!

      IronHead, we would love to assist you in the process of giving us money. Could you go into more detail on the problem you encounter using the Storenvy site?

      Just as a follow-up, if you’re still having trouble with StoreEnvy I am told they have a customer service contact; click here for that. Hope your shopping finds success.

    Well, more proof (as if any was necessary), that sanity is a relative thing. Especially in St. Charlie.
