What H.T. and the Biomass offered seemed, at first, tempting, but now that I know it involves paperwork I realized it was just another pathway to Hell.
So, the entirety of H.T.’s pitch was “Join or die”. Twice. Being in a collective has done him no favors. He used to be a LOT more eloquent and convincing. Besides, most of his audience is already dead or was never alive.
Where is AGI? Love to see the Dork Knight take on the Tigermass… And if Virginia has to don her Power Armor to rescue the darn fool, and we get a nice Fan Service rear view, so much the better…
Anybody else notice that the Biomass is going by He now? Didn’t the Biomass originally identify as female? Methinks the Biomass is more H.T. than they want to admit….
Yes, during the Annihilation / pod people arc, the original Biomass sentience mentioned she tried to cut HT off but he formed his own hivemind instead. Then she sacrificed herself for the SH team to escape.
The biggest enemy of all: paperwork
“We do a lotta heroic stuff, but if we didn’t file any paperwork, nobody’d know about it.”
Attention to mundane details helps make the cool stuff happen. 🙂
Other way around, actually. Take out the drama and grand spectacles, and all you’re left with are the mundane details that need to be taken care of.
Which you need to pay attention to anyway, cool stuff or not.
H.T. should’ve led his pitch to Sweetheart with a plea for help with paperwork. And th org chart for a hive mind would be a real challenge!
Or very, very easy. 🙂
The chicken and his human make another appearance!
I know, right? I’m thoroughly tickled!

I don’t think Actual Ben Franklin was threatening to kill the colonies himself, though.
Can’t tell your sheep from your goats without proper paperwork.
Today’s “Grrl Power” also has a geek making an anticlimactic representation of an invasive dominating force.
BTW, last Sunday’s strip inspired a song parody: https://deckardcanine.dreamwidth.org/405280.html
I’d suggest it be sung by a small white mouse named Ivy, but that would be sort of anticlimactic for that song.

The Biomass wants them to choose. It’s “join up or else you will lose.” But now his assistant has made them resistant with triplicate forms to peruse.

Mme. des Souhaits did leave behind a seed pod. Perhaps that can take over the Biomass from H. T..
