That probably should have been the title of the strip.
For a while Jeff and I were singling out lines that would have been the titles of the collections if we did them like 1980s-1990s comic-strip collections. Volume One was “The Snack of Destruction.”
And—and, really, this is inevitable—from the theme from “High Noon” (“Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darlin'”)
Do not debate me, Captain Kinlin!
I will not go away!
Do not debate me, Captain Kinlin!
You, you are wrong!
Your arguments do not convert me.
I know for sure I will not cave.
This man in drag will not divert me.
I’ll fight a slap fight, a silly slap fight,
I’ll fight a slap fight finger wave.
I fight the vertical incumbent,
Defending the bicycle recumbent.
I made a challenge for a right,
Right at high noon.
He’s just a fool who’s vision version
I see as intellectual perversion.
I’m not concerned with him, but, oh,
What can I do if he hits me?
Do not restrain me, Doctor Wilkin!
I won’t surrender or backslide!
Do not detain me, anybody!
You don’t perceive it, you must believe it,
I will commit professorcide!
Ah, but there’s a difference based on which word is modified by “stupid.” Tip (believes he) specializes in resolution of stupid conflicts. Slap fights are stupid resolution of conflicts.
“Stupid Conflict Resolution” will be the final-and-complete Skin Horse Collection’s title.

I’m just chiming in to say that this is likely to be one of THE memorable Skin Horse quotes.
oh i don’t know. Project Stupid Concept Resolution just doiesn’t have the same ring to it 😉
Stupid conflict
When will i learn not to comment after midnight?
It’s still an accurate description of Skin Horse.
I don’t know: “Tip Wilkins, SCR” does have a certain air of legitimacy. (Up until someone asks what “SCR” stands for, anyway).
Senior Common Room. Oh, wait, no.
Better than SSc, BSc, that’s for sure.
Speaking of titles, I’ve been meaning to ask: What’s with the URLs? They always include two words that give no clue to the content of the episode.
Filename story. String the words from every URL together and add some punctuation.
Or, google for the skin horse filename story and find someone who’s done all the hard work for you.
Woah, Capt. Kinlin is going down. You can tell he isn’t truly committed to the cause by his lack of bicycle regalia.
Further: Kinlin wears no gloves! He’ll lose the slap fight for sure.
I hope the wheels are functional and he has a matching pair mounted on his calves, plus unusually well developed abs.
If they sit down to resolve their conflict, Dr. Kirk has the advantage.

Move along…move along…
I dunno, they seem to be doing pretty well at Stupid Conflict Resolution without Tip. Slap Fights would be right up there.

Okay, there’s only two things to do in this situation:
1. Get the bicycles before the fight starts.
2. Make popcorn and sell tickets. (Possibly also the popcorn, depending on how much you can make.)
