Off-topic, except for an overlap of fandoms, I just found out that Cul de Sac creator and generally awesome talent Richard Thompson died on 27 July from the Parkinson’s that forced him to retire in 2012. I would say he’ll be missed, but we’ve been missing him for a long time. There will never be another.
Tip has therapy puppets. And uses them. He does talk therapy with Skin Horse clients. He’s a therapist. I don’t think he’s a credentialed clinical psychotherapist, and he’s clearly not a psychoanalyst.
What actually happened was their irradiator was destroyed and the government didn’t want to buy them another one, and with that, the Department of Irradiation’s raison d’etre vanished
NO! I beat my addiction to that comic, and you had to go and insert a link.
I ruthlessly limit myself to 10 webcomics; I get little enough done as it is. So if one gets added, one gets purged. And now I remember how much I missed Frank.
Come to think of it, Frank would fit into the SH universe quite well.
I suspect there may not even be a licensing authority or law that covers that.
And remember, this is not Germany. In America that which is not forbidden is legal.
I’d like to think that the “funding anomaly” was the sentient result of someone who had the mad science gene, and went into a business accounting program as an unsuccessful attempt to prevent the usual disasters.
By the way, I don’t know how he’d be able to throttle some of the Skin Horse staff…how would you throttle Moustachio?…and Unity’d probably put up a pretty good fight…
True. But the Skin Horse gang did their damage by following orders. Chris and Marcie are just irresponsible. There’s a very extremely subtle difference.
Because a perfect lounging ensemble requires a perfect couch to lounge upon. Geez, even *I* know that one.
Probably Tip uses it to make out…
I’d think that would be a given. 🙂
Tip uses *everything* to make out
(Or at least every piece of furniture, and many other miscellaneous objects)
Given what else he’s probably used that couch for, I’d be scared to get within 5 feet of it without a hazmat suit.
I wonder what Marcie is doing?
Freelance irradiation.
Sunday’s wallpaper suggests “working at a tattoo parlor.”

Richard was a friend of mine. I miss him very, very much already.
Alice dancing on her manhole cover, Petey craving doldrums, a hilarious looking car. Cul de Sac is a favorite. The man touched my life.

Someone finally asked “Why exactly are you people irradiating things?”
To make more nationalized insects of course! This needs explanation?
You see, if we learn the exact quality of radiation that produces AMERICAN insects, we will CONQUER THE WORLD! MWAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAAA!!!!!!!!
I think this cartoonist explains it fairly well: http://www.twogag.com/archives/3736

I prefer the following explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cghg-QyTP_M
I picture it as the shadow government equivalent of that crazy dude played by Maury Chaykin at the beginning of Dances With Wolves.
I always thought he did therapy…
He tries anyway, but he’s definitely not licensed.
Therapy for non-human sapients only, apparently

Unity’s pretty easy actually. “LOOK, BRAINS! BAM, LEG SWEEP!”
Lol, fer sure!
Throttling Moustachio would work by -throttling down- his clockwork windings.
But… Tip has used therapeutic techniques before. Does he mean he’s no longer a licensed therapist?
He’s never been licenced I think.
He stole that shirt from Chris Knight!
So what does it say?
I <3 toxic waste.
Nicely done turning exposition into a gag with that fourth panel. Very professional-like.
Thank you! We try. 🙂
Hold on, this guy was just as involved in the very bad day as Skin Horse’s agents were!
