Well, you often need to build mad devices to test your mad theories. If you left that up to someone else, they might steal your ideas, and then you’re distracted from your mad theorizing by the need for mad revenge.
Alternate theory, since St. Charlie is one huge madtech train, the “Engineers” are a ruling council that runs things, as much as possible among a group of mad scientists and their creations. At the very least, they steer the train and run whatever tech creates the tunnels and tracks it runs on.
Mad Scientists design Evil Laboratories in the clouds. Mad Engineers build them and construct orbital tethers so that they and their Mad Scientist allies can then take over the world from them. >-_^<
I wonder if this chapter could have been named It’s a mad mad mad mad world. Also, reusing a coinage that was intended as a pun in a way that relies on the original usage — namely “fursonal Jesus” — cannot be interpreted as and was not intended as a pun in its own right, and anyhow only evil could come from bespoiling with puns the near virginal paradise that is this comic’s comments section.
Go for the glory, St. Charlie crew!
You can beat Haller and H. T. too!
Fight Mad Science not on Cures!
Irradiator will be yours!
When competition is less than best!
Good ol’ St. Charlie will beat all the rest!
Onward, onward, fight, fight, fight,
For science and victory!

Maybe he’ll be willing to share it. ^_^
And it’s nice to learn that the Engineers are running things at St. Charlie. I wonder to what extent Mad Engineering resembles Mad Science? ^.^
A mad scientists develops and tests mad theories about the world. A mad engineer builds mad devices.
Given the nature of Walton’s Disorder, most affected alternate between doing Mad Science and Mad Engineering at a worrying rate.

He probably means people like the guy here: http://skin-horse.com/comic/the-infamous/

Mad engineering is the (occasionally) practical application of mad science.
This victory is absolutely recumbent upon them.

It works as a title, but it doesn’t fit the comic’s titling conventions.
True.
Kept reading tilting conventions…kind of works too.
How does one steal a beer in a straightjacket?
With style.
Not with that face you don’t.
Unless she’s going for the wicked crone of the northeast style.
About the same way you steel a beer that’s naked.
It takes a MAD criminal to steal the guard’s beer while in a straitjacket. This career path is NOT for the meek or the mild!! (*evil laugh*)
St. Charlie actually *has* a brig?
With experimental laser bars – very cool.
That’s the kind of bars that sell boozes, though.
Hey, whatever keeps ’em out of trouble.

Kudos. Nice lyrics. 😀
Wow, at some point not only did I get revivified, I got a PhD! 🙂
Does the “G’day” from this dangerous prisoner also mean he’s Australian?
Scary thought, what does someone have to do in this crowd to be considered a “dangerous criminal”?
Aaaand I’m caught up now. Been a fun binge, looking forward to keeping up from here on out.
