    Alas, Captain Kinlin has a great future making training videos for Anasigma…

      No one has a great future with Anasigma, period.

        I mean honestly the most unbelievable part of this strip is that a govern mentioned agency is doing something that will see it no longer serving a purpose in American society. That and how effective this agency is being at actually completing it”s goals.

    I suggest using nano ceramic lubricants (and no, I didn’t just make that up).

      Skip that whole nonsense, just use a bike with a cardan (and no, I dodn’t make that up either).

      Anything to avoid drawing attack bicycles.

      If he’s not affected yet, he’s hiding somewhere the Cure vapors can’t get to him and won’t be able to respond. And might injure himself reflexively trying to.

    Oh, this is sad and ugly, to see these magnificent lunatics normalized.

      Sad and ugly is what A-Sig do.

    Asking what an attack bicycle is makes you more tolerable? On a related note, I’m kinda confused about those metal panels on her cheeks, I think ones a chute for the microphone to pop out, but then what’s the second one for?

        I can’t believe I almost went a year without thinking of ANTION SMITH Forensic Linguist

    “Even the creator of…” So where is she?

      Probably still enjoying her happy ending. The sad thing about sequels is that they imply something goes wrong after the protagonists finish their work. But hey, when you say “screw the world, I’m retreating to a tropical island,” who cares!

        Well, last time we saw her was I think in the mirror universe, and she seemed to be relaxing on her island, wherever that is. But that was a Sunday sketch, so it might not be canon.

    Tell your creator that we’ve broken through.
    We’ve got something better to do.
    They’ll stick around St. Charlie they won’t put up a fight.
    They’re not mad, they will do what we like.
    We’ll have the gem of our efforts, our great bicycle conquest,
    They’ll see it all in St. Charlie.

    We got what we wanted and so easy, too.
    We got our disburser deep inside this zoo.
    We’re pumping the cure with deliberate speed.
    The ventilation system was just what we need.
    We’ll have the gem of our efforts, our great bicycle conquest,
    They’ll see it all in St. Charlie.

    And maybe in a week or two
    We’ll need to work together, now you’ve got a clue.
    We’ll add what’s done so far,
    Selective and par
    We’ll be free-oh,
    We’ll do it all with brio…

    Tell your creator that we’ve broken through.
    We’ve got something better to do.
    They’ll stick around St. Charlie they won’t put up a fight.
    They’re still smart, they can do what’s right.
    We’ll have the gem of our efforts, our great bicycle conquest,
    They’ll see it all in St. Charlie.
    They’ll see it all in St. Charlie.
    They’ll see it all in St. Charlie, if the chain don’t break.

    Dear lord! The man looks like he could work at Apple now! Still evil… but just barely hanging on!

    The creator of the Cure was too hesitant. But Ira sprayed St. Charlie residents. Ruby summoned the bicycles, but Kinlan was by-fickle. He wanted to talk bicycle maintenance.

    …and that concludes step 57 in lubricating the chain. Next, we cover derailleur adjustment…

      Ah, so the plan is to cause them to commit suicide. Little did you know that their psyches have been hardened by shoe care documentaries!

      Good lord, man! Only 57 steps in your chain lubrication regimen?! You must be taking quite a few shortcuts and employing newfangled innovations like spray degreasers!

      Next you’ll be suggesting “.. or just buy a new chain!” *Harrumph*

    Ruby is entirely non-biological, isn’t she? So she’s probably one of just a handful of residents completely unaffected by the gas. Hmmm…. wonder if it worked on the zombies?

      Perhaps they could spray the Cure on the Brain-O-Mat output.

      Well, the zombies aren’t really alive, so they probably aren’t affected either.

      Trouble is, anyone on the cure won’t even see the zombies, so if Ira shuts off the Brain-O-Mat, the zombies could just eat everyone, and no one would even know it was happening to them.

      Not sure how a brain on the cure would parse having a limb torn off…
