Sweetheart gets a tribunal, Tigerlily gets a conversation piece in the conversation pit, HT gets what he deserves… everybody wins! (All right, HT might not *win*, exactly, but he does get what he deserves, so that’s something!)
This is actually a good point. While a state of war actively exists, he doesn’t need to be tried to be held since he’s an enemy combatant.
Unless he’s a US citizen; then he still has his Constitutional right to be charged ASAP. Not only was the Supreme Court very clear about that, it’s one of the few times Scalia called out Thomas for putting his own politics ahead of his obligation to the Constitution.
And HT doesn’t even know that Tip is planning to join forces with Tigerlilly, and thus does not understand the full extent of the horror awaiting him. I predict lots of funky clockwork therapy puppets in his future.
An invention that will gain the immediate interest by one Bartholomew Lucien Zacariah Roberts, (please call him Mr. Bob) for use in the home office with their incoming clients . . .
C’mon, I know the members of this forum can get this joke.
Wising up, back with the claws,
Just in time, no advances.
No resistance, now he’s back on his paws,
Just a cat and his need to survive.
So with his crimes, he’s out of the Mass.
He’s caged and fashioned a story.
He’s lost his grip on his schemes and bombast.
Now he’ll fight just to keep him alive.
It’s the cry of the tiger,
And the fill of his plight.
Sizing up any chances of revival.
And the orange survivor
Stalks his prey with delight,
And he’s working a game with the cry of a tiger.
Nose to nose, down in defeat,
Feeling rough, getting hungry.
He’s counting odds till they put on the heat.
He’s the type with the stripes to survive.
It’s the cry of the tiger,

And the orange survivor
Stalks his prey with delight,
And he’s working a game with the cry of a tiger.
Screwing up, he must admit,
Spilling guts, kind of gory.
A tribunal, or a Conversation Pit.
Just H. T. trying to stay alive.

“you are sentenced to ten years of being put into funky dresses by Tigerlily Jones”
“No not that! anything but that!”
Nah, sentenced to fifteen years of funk testing. If he can get along with a robot, it’s too square, and she sends it to Idaho.
Tip pulling a ‘don’t fling me in in that briar patch.’ and eagerly hoping to have the same sentence…

I like this idea.

Is H.T. a Reality Blindness test for Tigerlily’s guests, or just a reason to let her brag about bagging a Big Cat?
Why not both?
Oh come on H.T., this subservience thing could be, you know, fun. You’ll get used to it. Oh, and what’s Ari Green gonna do now, huh?
The Biomass does still exist, and there’s nothing to indicate that it’s not still all-consuming just because the collective voted out one member.
Will hors d’oeuvres be served?
Yes, but the kitchen has refused to take H.T.’s input on the menu anymore.
Oh, no!
…Anyway…
War crimes trials should wait until the war is over. Until then, HT is safely in custody (heh,.heh)

It looks like they’re gonna eat fondue in front of him.
Then they can all bid him fondue.

Not to mention MAKEOVERS!
Can’t we compromise? Put him in a gibbet.
Put the tiger in your tank!
… y’know, the RC Sherman you’ll send to attack A-Sig HQ? Or you can use a Tiger II, if you insist on irony …

I must be getting better. I knew what song it was just from the first line.
Nicely done, as always.
It is one of the most iconic songs ever. Don’t read too much into getting it.
Well, I can’t say it’s one I’m overly fond of, but there are lots more less pleasing. How ’bout this version? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sW7n8eArJV0
Oh, HT looks so CUTE being sulky in that first panel.
What will we do with H. T.? Ms. Fancy, Ms. Jones don’t agree. A justice tribunal, or a pit that’s communal. Which of them is cruelty-free?
I think the cruelty is almost the point.
Cruel and unusual.
I just wanna shout out how cute the extremely scientific diagram is, especially the stick-TLJones. This strip is abundant with adorable detail.
