So that’s why we haven’t mastered fusion power yet – we’ve been concentrating on the “magnetic confinement” and “inertial confinement” methods while neglecting the “green goo” approach!
I feel like these man portable fusion pies are quite important in a way that if you got all three of them together, something should happen/suddenly be possible.
Repeatedly rereading the Narbonics books shows me this, too…I wondered if there weren’t some revisions to insert foreshadowing details, but things like this argue otherwise…
That we know of. He may have practiced, or found out how fun it was, or learned of other malls that needed wrecking. Never assume Fearless Leader is showing us everything her characters do. Even as we speak, Unity is up to something. We may never know about it, or see the rubble and baby oil bottles… but she *is* out there, and so are the rest…
The flummoxed Mustachio in the first panel is possibly my favourite character expression in some time.
Here’s hoping that Hitty can be repaired and her Hitting subroutines are permanently damaged.
Why would you want her hitting subroutines to be damaged? She appears to have learned not to hit inappropriately these days.
Mea culpa. I mispoke, and I was hoping her hitting subroutiners were NOT permanently damaged. The perils of staying up so late when you are so old.
I thought hitting was her primary routine… everything else is sub routine
I assume her “determine what to hit next” subroutines have evolved greatly over time, and make up most of her personality at this point.

I never thought chlorophyl could be the the answer to reversing the the neutron flow.
Virginia Lee, Mistress of Tact.
Oh, it’s the third reactor.
Hittie has the third man portable fusion pie?

I think Gavotte was planning to use the three to power a very large robot.
Hitty is a very large robot.
(Sorry, Hitty.)
I’m still impressed that Shaenon and Jeff can keep the plot going with situations they set up eight years ago.

Certain online-only Sunday strips in Narbonic foreshadowed the main plot points for the coming year. So I’mo go with “crazy prepared.”
Nah, I’m way too lazy to go back and revise strips.
Well, I was particularly impressed seeing Dave got a card for the “D-Con” a year or so before the Dave Conspiracy actively emerged in the storyline…
It was just the one shopping mall, wasn’t it?
One shopping mall, one battledrome, one world’s fair, some collateral damage to other buildings surrounding them . . . ,
Come to think of it, Mustachio might be more dangerous on a large scale than anyone else in Skin Horse.

It’s true; he has.
If Hitty doesn’t pull through, Virginia should dedicate a PowerPoint slide to her memory.
And that’s not even counting the several dozen PowerPoint slides dedicated to her autopsy.
So you’re saying Dr. Lee attended the Vahlen School of Physical Research?
