OH SNAP YES! Finally, Tiger Lilly can break free of the wicked bonds of the institute and build her some badass clockwork super mecha! This conditioning is the ultimate proof that the institute must be destroyed. Anybody who wants there to be fewer giant robots in the world is no friend of mine.
He’s referring to the state Tigerlilly was in when we first met her: unable to give moustachio anything more than “little arms”; not the state she fell in after Tip: robots coming out “square”

Now, just from seeing you, it’s plain
That someone’s messing with your brain!
But what that someone’s done can be undone …
A bit of puppet therapy
Will help your mind go free!
Some cloth … and yarn,
Will fix your brain, by darn!
[CHORUS:]
Now, Miss Sweet Honey Puddinspoon is helping s**t go down!
She’s helping s**t go dow-wown,
Helping s**t go down!
Puppet Sweet Honey Puddinspoon is helping s**t go down,
In a funky bad-a$$ way!
Although your hands are highly skilled,
It seems the robots that you build
Are total wimps, but very soon that all will change …
Instead of whitebread, weak, and small,
They’re twenty meters tall!
So bad! So cool!
I pity you, ya fool! [repeat CHORUS]
Please, someone tell me Tigerlily is going to rip the puppets off of Tip’s hands and makes little plushy robots out of them. Anything would be better than leaving them in his clutches.
Yeah, sorry. My ISP’s workforce is on strike. My servers’ network connection has been crap for days, and there’s no one there to yell at and make fix it.

Why invent something already available? Isn’t Moustachio downstairs somewhere?

I believe your definition of ‘giant’ differs from mine and Daniel’s.
Isn’t his present form just head, neck and substitute arms.
Rise of Victorian Behemoth, next week in all theatres!
Nope. Hat, head, body, replacement arms and remnants of his legs. Remnants that Tigerlily thought looked too insane for even her to be able to fix.
Victorian Behemoth. Wasn’t she married to some soccer player?
@GammarayCanon: No, he doesn’t have his legs. The British government won’t return them.
I love when Tip brings out the puppets. It’s a promise of future hilarity. XD
Always with the puppets.
Isn’t the puppet on Tip’s right hand supposed to be a robot?

The refrain makes her a plumber. Your ability to lyric-fit on the fly is amazing.
I have the most AMAZING Julie Andrews video going on in my head right now. Thank you Eddurd… XD
“I just HAPPEN to have Tigerlilly and robot puppets here…”
He’s been planning this date for more than two years, so yes, the puppets were set up, maybe even some of the dialogue.
Puppetspace is just two dimensions down the hall from Hammerspace.
And now we are about to witness the power of mad pyschology
Mad Science comes in all shapes and sizes.
Oh man… what if Tip ends up getting the ‘Cure’? He may end up wearing… male clothes!
I doubt it; the Cure does a fairly specific thing. It’s only metaphorically the crushing boot of cultural normativity and oppression.
Have you already forgotten what the cure did to Debbi? It’s been just a little over a month. Are you on the cure yourself?
Tigerlilly might end up producing giant whitebread robots (“I AM WONDERBOT! I DEMAND A CARDIGAN!”)
And sing “will you be my neighbor?
Why haven’t any of this week’s strips been on my GoComics?
Speculation over there is rife, but there’s been no direct confirmation. Wouldn’t be the first time they’ve not put something up out of carelessness…
Hey, guys. Just a little glitch in the uploading procedure. I’ve fixed it (I think) and it should be working pretty soon.
Does anyone have a link to a working copy of the filename story? I’ve been looking for it, but the only link I can find doesn’t work.

It’s being very slow for me at the moment, but it is working.
This one is also good: http://hyniof.livejournal.com/78200.html

That was meant to be a reply to the people looking for my copy of the filename story.
Gosh but that is a very cute puppet Tigerlilly.
