    My degree is quite strengthening, too.

      Mine has been somewhat empowering, though not terribly useful for me until I can find a job. My friends really enjoy the free legal advice though.

    I doubt that the zombie contingent is particularly impressed by the size of Tip’s companion: as the old zombie saying goes, “the bigger they are, the more flesh”

      My question is this: Would Artie flesh taste like human or gerbil?

        Human most likely. I don’t think Human taste is a subtle enough to detect genetics and he is basically human until he sneezes. Fun fact: human flesh tastes like pork, hence the term long pig.

          Artie probably has a chemical aftertaste. You just can’t beat organically grown.

    If you can’t reassure them then snap them out of their panic with a series of non sequiturs. Makes sense to me! ^_^

      Hey it always, mostly, worked for Dr. Who. Tip can’t do any worse.

        CLARA: What are you gonna do?
        DOCTOR: Oh I don’t know, talk fast, hope something happens, take the credit. That usually works. Not this time, though.

    A gun and a thorough understanding of how people think will get you better results than a gun alone.Tip’s got the right idea,But he is putting the cart before the horse in this case. I would’ve led Lead with “listen up! everything is under control! I’m from the shadow government!” Granted, they are in the empire of the dead, but those zombies Must have some memories of civil obedience from the time they were alive right?

      More likely civil disobedience. It is California, after all.

    (TUNE: “Lola”, The Kinks)

    Now, I’ll help you stave off the zombie attack!
    With a large companion who’s got my back
    And does yoga …
    Y-O-G-A, yoga …
    I’ve also got a gun that can dish out hurt,
    And I look darned good in a miniskirt
    Or a toga …
    T-O-G-A, toga …

    Now I can help if you’re feeling stress,
    ‘Cause you know, although I’m a guy in a dress,
    I’m a doctor!
    A Ph.D. doctor!
    I’m here with the lady with the Brain-O-Mat,
    And we try to ignore the occasion that
    I once rocked her …
    Yeah, Dr. Lee, rocked her!
    My twisty hips shocked her!

     There’s a dead guy stopping up the sewer drain!
     Killer balloons, they ate his brain!
     You can solve most problems, I have found,
     With a well-placed word and a hollow-point round!
    It’s under control, folks, so follow me!
    Then we’ll unwind with some herbal tea
    And some yoga …
    Y-O-G-A, yoga …
    Om, om, om, om, yoga …

        @Brian: All of WebComicsNation went down, taking out the Narbonic archives along with Ed’s strip. It may be a while, as the tech support guy got his brain eaten by zombies a couple of arcs ago.

    Apropros of nothing, “Big Bad Wolves” is out of order in the story select menu.

      I know! There’s a glitch in ComicPress that put it there and it WON’T MOVE!

    Third time of trying, your reply system keeps timing out.

      It’s up there twice- it still posts if it says that it timed out, for some reason.

      I have found it’s very useful to refresh the page before trying to post the comment a second time. If it timed out on your end, but still successfully posted on their end, it will show up after you refresh.

    I thought Tip’s gun was a revolver. Has he improved his firepower along with his mojo?

      It does look kind of like an automatic doesn’t it? I can’t see Tip parting with Alice if he could help it, though maybe he picked up some extra firepower at St. Charlie and has decided to use that first. Tip’s probably wielding Alice here and it’s just hard to see because the back half is off panel (and things are in color now, so the different parts of the cylinder don’t contrast as much).

        I think the automatic goes better with the outfit… hence the preference.

      If you zoom in, you can tell it’s a revolver.

    You know, at some point you really have to use the line “is there a psychologist in the house?”

    So what happened to Alice? Did Unity steal her after all?

      No, that’s Alice. You just have to zoom in to see it clearly.
