    I don’t get the joke this strip. Is she just trying to distract him in order for the drugs to take hold? Or are they quoting something?

      Tip’s quoting “An Officer and a Gentleman”; it took a couple Oscars, back in 1982 or so.

    I just realized that a good alternate name for this storyline would be “An Officer and a Lady,” except that everyone would have been waiting for this strip the whole time.

      Not really. The names for the storylines are all references to children’s books.

    (TUNE: “Up Where We Belong”, Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes)

    Why … would some slick hoochie-boy
    Wanna take … this much abuse?
    Tip won’t fail, will obey this toy!
    He will be the princess they use!

     She says, “You’re out!”
     He won’t do it! He will not quit!
     He’ll just throw a big hissy fit!

      Drugs take him out, they’re way too strong!
      Now it’s all a blur
      For this officer!
      Drugs take him out, they’re way too strong!
      Now he’s feeling sick
      As he quotes some flick!

      I almost made the last two lines “And his neurons rang, with a ‘Honk! Toot! Clang!'” except that reference is even more dated than today’s strip.

    So this storyline’s going to end with Tip, in his princess dress, gathering the voice actress (has she been named yet?) in his arms, and then she puts on his tiara.

    …Aaand that exhausts everything I know about An Officer and a Gentleman.

      …and he carries her out to the applause of all the “The Little House” cast as the music swells to a romantic crescendo…and then trips over his high heels, wrecks his back, and winds up in traction for a couple of weeks… [Judy Tenuda] It could happen! [/Judy Tenuda]

    I keep waiting for the obligatory “Only two things come from Iowa Girly-boy!” line.

      “Only two things come outta Iowa: Beans an’ Queens — an’ I don’t see a Crown on your head!”

    While I was out walking the streets in a plaid skirt today, I kept hearing Alice Cooper wailing…

    I’ve got the finest outfits and the cutest toys,
    I WANNA BE A PRINCESS!
    I dress like a girl, but I’m one of the boys,
    I WANNA BE A PRINCESS!
    Dreamt of working at Whimsey, yes I always did,
    I WANNA BE A PRINCESS!
    It’s the thing I wanted since I was a kid,
    I WANNA BE A PRINCESS!
    A Princess! I wanna be a Princess!! (and so on…)

    Unfortunately, before I could figure out a good rhyme for “Thorazine,” the pipe major would call the next tune…

    Screw the little robot. Tip makes me forget that cute boys with boy parts aren’t usually princesses
