    At last we learn the limits of Tip’s animal magnetism!

    ..or could it just be that he’s in love and channeling mojo into other paths?

      Animal magnetism is no match for actual magnetism

        You jest, but chancing upon a book from the turn of the previous century discussing magnetism and magnetic armatures I nearly fell off my chair to see it explicitly mention “is not the same thing as animal magnetism which has nothing to do with it”…

        Particularly when you’re working with fusion! You can’t operate a containment field with ANIMAL magnetism! You need electro-magnetism!

        And actual magnetism is no match for SPRING POWER, BABY!

    I think we have a new poster/t-shirt in “My brain’s on fire and I need to douse it with the gasoline of science”

      That phrase summed up my grade school life.

      Woke up today
      I didn’t feel like I should
      And my magic eight ball said outlook not so good
      My conditional probability’s probably pretty poor
      But I think I’ve found my cure for sure
      The emergency response unit is on the scene
      It’s like putting out fire with gasoline
      I feel alright
      Yeah, I feel okay
      And I owe it all to….

      The first drink of the day!

      “No man can compete with building a giant robot” would make a great poster/ t-shirt as well. Forget “free the nipple” posers – this is *real* feminism.

      Agreed.

    Wasn’t building a giant robot what Gavotte was planning to do all along?

      Planning – or projecting a need for. She seems to an uncanny knowledge of future events: http://skin-horse.com/comic/she-could-hardly-2/

    Awwww, poor Tip. He’s so dejected, even his flower is drooping….

      It’s the details like that that make this such a great webcomic.

      Well-spotted! I would not have consciously noticed this if you hadn’t pointed it out. I noticed he looked sad, but not that specific detail.

    Does Tip feel …used?

    What greater compliment can there be than “you set my brain on fire”?
    …that sounded better in my head

    Wow. Tip must be experiencing Twue Wove for perhaps the first time in his amorous life. And he apparently is aware of the fact that many of the women with whom he associates are amazing. Such insight. He must be a great psychoanalyst.

    Tip has been in love with Tigerlily for ages (the only woman he’s loved, as I recall). After seeing her in action, no wonder poor Berenice Jones (Tigerlily’s “normal” counterpart from a parallel universe) couldn’t capture his attention.

      Tigerlily brought color to the Skin-horse-verse

    Tip is, for once, thinking reasonably about relationship stuff. So of course it’s when the situation calls for Awesome instead of Reasonable. 🙂

    Leave the talky talks for later Tip. Now is time to bask in the Funkitude.

    Buck up, Tip. At least she admitted you were good at it (depending on which six dimensions she was referring to.)

      The zorth axis was probably in there somewhere.

      I have no idea why I posted that. My best guess is that I meant to say that it is an awesome line and accidentally hit submit early. Anyway The Gasoline of Science is a good name for a band.

    Oh yeah, he also dated Marcie for awhile.

    Never realized the meaning behind that plural before.
