    No one can resist a mimosa.

      They can sip them while sitting in the Eero Aarnio chairs.

        What’s up with the chairs? How narcissistic would you have to be to hold meetings while you were.. oh.

          President Lyndon Johnson used to meet people he didn’t like while going to the toilet…

    Well, there goes my theory!

    We can but hope that Baron automatically records everything going on around him…

    One would think the Baron would want two out of three to use the hot tub.

      Good point! Perhaps this still isn’t Baron?

        The hot tub is Baron-sized…

      My thought was that he says that to everyone who comes in as a gut reaction, he doesn’t even realize who they are until after he says that. It’s not even that other Barons regularly come in wanting to use the hot tub, he just wants everyone to be absolutely clear that only he can use the hot tub.

    BTW, I love the shadow in the background of the first panel. Cast by a lounge singer?

    What could the song be, I wonder?

      “The Best is Yet to Come”, knowing Shaenon…

      I think that’s a go-go dancer, we saw some in Thursday’s strip.

      “Lovers in a Dangerous Time”, as performed by the Baron-Naked Laddies.

      Given that Baron is essentially singing to himself, I vote for “The More I See You” by Harry Warren & Mack Gordon…

    NEW SKIN HORSE! NEW SKIN HORSE! EEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

    … sorry, it’s just that I went as far as I could on GoComics during the hiatus, so this is the first new strip I’ve seen in over a month, and I’m about as excited as Tip performing a makeover.

    So happy to see this back! (and as always: art is delightfully perfect for the story)

    This is actually classier and more understated than I expected from Baron. Nice wood paneling on the bar, for instance. Kinda figured it would all be goldplated.

    I’d want the hot tub too….. (okay, and a Mimosa. Frozen Magnolias are better (Margarita recipe, double the lime, sugar instead of salt) but a Mimosa will do in a pinch.

    For hot tubbing in a VR setting, I’d want Death in the Afternoon to drink. Since we are sharing recipes: a jigger of absinthe topped with prosecco. Mimosas are tasty, too.

    Poor Nick. Realspace, meatspace, it doesn’t matter where he goes. He’s a man on a mission surrounded by people hopelessly stuck enjoying themselves.

    Also: I wasn’t sold on it before, but the cigar in the little guy’s mouth in panel one is EXCESSIVELY twee. I love it, but I feel like if it gets any cuter, the FDA will issue a takedown notice for advertising to children.

      It’s hard being he only sane man. Especially if you’re in a theoretically-logical computer system.

      Well, unless they’re female baron mistycorns (baroness mistycorns?)

      This is Baron Mistycorn’s node. He could just make space if he wanted the company.

    He’s been watching them the whole time?

      That does look like a bank of monitors behind Baron, doesn’t it?

    Hopefully this is the actual Baron, and he hasn’t delegated the job of Big Boss to yet another clone while he’s playing video games in the back.
