Hmm. So does Tip have a couple boxes of spare bullets hidden in his bra or something, or has he *actually* just used half his bullets (I assume it’s a 6-shot he’s using…)?
At one point in “Swing from My Branches” IIRC he claimed his standard load out was alice and 1,000rds of ammunition. Tip most definitely has more ammo.
Mostly through denial, I think. In David Langford’s not-at-all-based-on-his-time-at-the-Atomic-Weapons-Establishment novel The Leaky Establishment, the hero divides nuclear weaponry scientists into two groups: the hawks and the ostriches. The hawks are the agressive types who enthusuastically measure things in kilodeaths, and the ostriches are the ones who say “This is an interesting application of the theory, but lets not think about why we’re actually doing it.”
She doesn’t strike me as being squeamish here. I think she’s just worried that her performance evaluation will be low if she’s only associated with such “minor” murders.
Apparently, any form of un-zombifying gives them a pulse. We have two examples, this strip and the new zombie love story movie that’s coming out. Of course, once they’ve no longer not got a pulse, killing them might be murder, even if they don’t know they’re now previously dead.
I think it’s called Omega Protocol because it makes forensic linguists go utterly mad and start killing anything that moves, or doesn’t.
My point was: if lightening makes a bunch of dead material, such as that from which Frankenstein’s monster was constructed, alive, then the worrying zombies had a valid concern; being struck be lightening *could* cause them to stop being dead.
Omega Protocol is hard on the language, never mind the candy.

Tip uses the ‘Rushuna Tendou’ reload technique. Watch for it.
Wait, was that Nabiki Tendou’s fighting technique?
No, Nabiki’s technique involved cash and photographic emulsions, not lead ^_^

I thought Ginny was an Anasigma employee? How did she last so long with them if she’s that squeemish about things? o_O

Ginny is an ostrich.

I have to ask, what’s 17th degree of murder? And does the 6th degree of murder involve Kevin Bacon?
There is no 6th degree…
What, you can’t have a Rokudan in zombie-killing? If not, then a lot of anime fans have been seriously misled…
If it was minus-40th degree, you wouldn’t be able to tell if he was undead or unalive.

I didn’t kill the walking dead;
I didn’t shoot him in the head!
Hear the sigh From Doctor Lee;
It’s not 18th degree!
A non-non-lethal shot I tried;
I’m not committing morticide!
There’s no pulse; he’s fine, you’ll see!
It’s not 18th degree!
O-me-ga Pro-to-col
Is a protocol that sucks!
Oh, hell, it still works well,
Right until a zombie ducks!
So these undead I won’t un-kill;
He’ll lurch again, oh yes he will!
He was shot un-fatally;
It’s not 18th degree!
That has to be the fifth strangest bit of dialog yet in a comic.
So, killing a zombie gives them a pulse?
No, psychology is a very soft science.

On Monday in “Girl Genius,” zombies were afraid that lightning would make them cease to be dead.
Well, in the movie Dr. Frankenstein didn’t shout “it’s undead! It’s undead!”
Well, he *was* a mad scientist. There are standards to uphold when you do that kind of work.
My point was: if lightening makes a bunch of dead material, such as that from which Frankenstein’s monster was constructed, alive, then the worrying zombies had a valid concern; being struck be lightening *could* cause them to stop being dead.
There has to be an award somewhere for dialog being that badass and that silly at the same time.
Kudos to Eddurd for that temperate pun, and I heartily agree with Shadowmehr. The best dialogue in Skin Horse since roughly forever.
Oh my God. Worst pun ever.
