    Did Vivienne get breadsticks?

    So she’s derailing the mads plot to get the metaphorical train back on the rails of sanity on the ACTUAL train which is also a city?
    That’s….surprising….although it’s more the thought of a government employee wanting order and sanity that gets me.

      Ideally, governments want us to pay our taxes regularly while otherwise sitting inside with our hands on the table. That certainly fits the definition of “order”; “sanity” is another question…

        It fits the definition of order.

        Note that order and sanity are not equivalent.

    So…wait. GODOT runs the town? Am I still supposed to be confused about what’s going on?

      You’re always supposed to be confused.

        Who else started playing a game of Paranoia in their head as soon as everyone stepped on the train?

          Heh, well this hasn’t gotten anywhere near as messed up as the water testing incident of internet infamy… Yet

    (TUNE: “If I Only Had A Brain”, Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg)

    If you won’t do as demanded,
    Then I must now be candid,
    I’ll tell it to you plain!
    I am smart, I am pretty,
    I am going to steal your city,
    And I’m gonna make it sane!

    Now I’ll tell GODOT I’m wishin’
    I wasn’t on this mission
    Aboard this stupid train!
    And you’ll hear me complainin’
    That this train is too insane, an’
    I am gonna make it sane!

      Beware, prepare to fall!
      A clever plan I’ve got!
      (This talk-ing to a wall
      Is going bet-ter than I thought!)

    Yes, I soon will be controlling
    This city that is rolling
    From Oregon to Maine!
    Have this town in my pocket
    When I take this wall and chalk it,
    And I’m gonna make it sane!

      Bravo, Ed. Another masterpiece. Why don’t the published Skin Horse books have your filks included?

        It would involve a lot of copyright issues … much as I’d love it, it would be a lot of trouble and expense for Shaenon & Co. (and most cartoonists are not known for being rich. I know *I’m* not.)

    So a robot created (probably) by mad geniuses is going to take a train full of mad geniuses and use a mad plan with chalk and explosives to get them all working according to the principles of order and sanity?

    Sadly, this is actually makes sense in the greater universe of the comic.

    If I was looking for someone to guide people back to sanity, I can’t think of anyone better than Anasigma. They are a completely sane black ops organization that would never think of completely eradicating my family from spacetime if I didn’t write this endorsement.

    Oh, thank god, the puppets are gone. If there’d been one more day of them, I’d have probably lost my struggle vs. willpower with regards to filking PSY’s “Gangnam Style” as “Skin-Horse Style.”

    (Puppet Skin Horse style! Do it Skin Horse style!)

    Wait, blank wall? GODOT’s not screwing with her perception? Could be important.

      Ah, but is the wall really blank? I can’t remember whether there was anything there when Skin Horse tried that it now hidden from Anasigma.

    Is this going to be ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ with mad scientists?

    Sweetheart did reference ‘And Then There Were None’ earlier, and we’ve already established that someone on this train…. is a MURDERER!!! (probably).

      We established that someone on this train… is a MURDERER the moment Unity set foot on it.
