This is still part of the story, just another angle of it. Will you give the complaints a rest already? Or maybe wait until the end and then just read the parts you *are* interested in.
So “the characters we care about” are … just Tip? Or Tip and a bunch of randos who were only introduced last month?
I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m quite interested to know what’s happening to them. But I’m *also* interested in what’s happening to the rest of Skin Horse. Who are here, in this part of the story.
It’s a comic strip. It happens four panels at a time. Comics have been that way since the dawn of time (well, since the dawn of daily comic strips). If it’s really and truly that stressful for you to read it at that pace, take a break for a year or two, and then come back and read the whole thing all at once.
That’s what makes webcomics so much better than newspaper comics. You don’t have to collect 10 years worth of newspapers to be able to read 10 years worth of comics.
I think Moustachio knows that he was ahead of his time. It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise to learn that he was ahead of all time. I’d think he’d be proud.
I hate to say this, but Leslie has a point.
A bad way of going about it, but still a point nonetheless.
What, exactly, is the game plan now? Did they actually GET any Intel in the raid where they lost tip, or just Nick’s body? What is the fallout from stage 2?
I’m all for the comic to continue until the end of time (Work Shannon and Jeff. Work yourselves to the BONE for my entertainment) but they don’t seem to be following a/THE central plot.
And I just realized I may have forgotten any strips that covered the questions I asked, and that’s bad. Both because it means I have memory issues at 23, and because it means that the ‘main plot’ strips seemed more filler-y than important.
There, that and a buck fifty’ll get you a cup of coffee.
“Hey, I’m not right, and I’m glad you recognize that, I’m just running my yap and saying what I’m thinking.”
Parking your office building in a reality-blind downtown Boston is kind of likely to have troublesome side-effects, such as rental businesses renting out your feet.
Meanwhile, in the command center:
“Hey, babe, Hitty said that the left foot was dragging a bit, so I went to look, and there’s an ad agency down there now. The robots are using the art supplies to decorate their race course.”
“What!! They need to submit a request form before redecorating!!”
“What about the agency?”
“Oh, yeah, that . . .”
Panel 4: I understand this is a common reaction when a new technology is introduced to a research lab. Not necessarily so bicycle focused, but the general structure of the argument is the same.
You’ve got warehouses with the diesel vs. propane vs. electric forklift wars (with actual jousting tournaments). The old classic Right Guard deodorant “stick vs. spray” arguments, and of course, the great diesel vs. nuclear question in the navy.
” the great diesel vs. nuclear question in the navy.”
Actually, the great NATO F-76 marine fuel vs. nuclear war…
(military diesel (ground) fuel is DF-2 (aka #2 diesel), has a much lower flashpoint, no stability requirement, and is very much less preferred emergency alterative for shipboard use)
Even a few parking tickets on Annex One would drive Sweetheart round the bend.
Oh, indeedy. Let us get further afield from the story. Or the characters we care about.

So… the dawn of time was 1907? Moustachio will be crushed

Narbonic took the scenic route often, but ultimately delivered in a highly satisfactory way. “Artists at work.” Have patience.
The plan is to get intel in St Charlie about the Ninja Knitter and potentially save Tip’s life … or at least his look
And the way this comic works, it’s entirely possible all the Cypress wants is a new sweater
“Let’s see what Remy is up to!”
Eh, Mad Scientists gotta Mad! ^_^
Well, they were happy yesterday
The robot building is better than all y’all’s bicycles… so shut up! or we’ll stomp both of you. You’re wasting precious time.
Are these tiresome two wheely spokespeople for St. Charlie?
Not as such. But you bring a Mad creation that big within earshot of St. Charlie, and someone is bound to come out to see what makes it tick.
Given how often we see them, I suspect they’re almost the only inhabitants of St. Charlie that actually care about the outside world.
Given that their connection to ‘reality’ is through Boston, I’m not sure they would discern a sharp boundary between their world and “outside” …
Sort of. They are clearly not wheeality-blind.
But, on the other hand they are also clearly out of true …
that polypun left me feeling deflated
At least they’re properly a-tired.
It might be better if they were retired, but I should perhaps tread more carefully when commenting on the affairs of the mad …
Oh, no! I hope we can patch things up so that you can leave this interaction feeling completely pumped up …
This entire thread derailed itself.
Probably the effect of too many cranks pedaling nonsense all chained together …

Imagine their confusion when Annex One moves on…
“All right, just where is our office? It was here yesterday, and today there’s nothing but a vacant lot. No debris, no demolition vehicles, nothing.”
Meanwhile, in the command center:
“Hey, babe, Hitty said that the left foot was dragging a bit, so I went to look, and there’s an ad agency down there now. The robots are using the art supplies to decorate their race course.”

In Boston, it would be a CVS.
No wheels on Dr. Kirk’s shoulders in third panel.
Glitch in the Matrix.
Oh, good, the cloak works! Sometimes.
See, they fell off! That’s exactly what’s wrong with recumbent technology!
Panel 4: I understand this is a common reaction when a new technology is introduced to a research lab. Not necessarily so bicycle focused, but the general structure of the argument is the same.
It’s not restricted to research labs.
You’ve got warehouses with the diesel vs. propane vs. electric forklift wars (with actual jousting tournaments). The old classic Right Guard deodorant “stick vs. spray” arguments, and of course, the great diesel vs. nuclear question in the navy.

I was thinking of the old-timers’ battle cry… “DBF” – as in “Diesel Boats Forever”.
Just park it in city hall plaza. It’ll blend right in.
