    I don’t know exactly what game she was playing, but I know it’s got a great soundtrack.

      I love how blase Sweetheart is in panel four.

        Nah, at this point she’s just numb there.

        …blase? I know we can only see the top of her head, but Sweetheart reads as somewhat shocked or surprised to me. Wide eyes, ears up?

        Compare to two panels in this recent strip:

        Her eyes have the same look as someone who has just had a camera flash go off 3 inches from their face (not that I would know from personal experience or anything).

    I get the feeling that she’s gonna be pi**ed off that her wife was literally tossed of the ship

      If you are referring to Tip,
      A: As much as Tip would like it to be, they’re not even close to being married, and
      B: Tip is a man. He may not like to dress like one, but he’s never once claimed to be a woman, and he repeatedly corrected Ira every time Ira called him “ma’am”.

    Does this mean she and Tip are back together?

      ..OK – also speculate Tigerlily insulated herself from Pavave and Tony’s “funk field” with the sequins.

    Her gown turned inside out and become a purple cape, and her earrings turned purple as well? What a costume change! 😀

      Tigerlily does not change clothing by mere practical effect, any more than Tip does.

      Tigerlily changes clothing by the sheer power of mojo, as she did when she was first introduced (“When she goes into the truck, she’s in Institute gray. We let her out, she’s Foxy Brown. No idea how.” ).

      she can whip up a spring-powered teleporter “while the two of you were talking”, she can most definitely arranged a coastume change

        The two might even be related, with a specialized device hooked up to a rotating display in her closet, allowing her to choose which outfits to send to herself via a concealed remote.

    Huh. Princess of Lovetron, now upgraded to REBEL Princess of Lovetron.

      As commenter “M” pointed out a few strips back, we actually have pretty strong evidence that she’s not actually a princess of Lovetron – or at least that she doesn’t believe she is.

    I have to admit, I actually had the idea that Princess Berenice was either being mind-controlled, or some sort of doppelganger of Tigerlily Jones, mainly because I was sure that Tigerlily never ever would have said that she didn’t speak jive, or for that matter, to call her anything with “Berenice” in it.

    But it looks like I was wrong, and so is Sweetheart: For a few hours(?) or so, Tigerlily was indeed being subtle.

    Sweetheart, you found someone
    That can help you in your scheme.
    She’s a sight, and not uptight,
    Like you thought she had been.
    You were afraid to talk to her,
    ‘Cause you’re not a trusting kind.
    But now you can see that she’ll maybe help,
    She is right out of her mind.

    Sweetheart, she’s crazy, crazy, you can see.
    And in the ship, she makes it plain,
    She doesn’t want to be.
    You’ll never have a better chance
    She outfunks all you’ve seen,
    And, Sweetheart, she’s crazy, she’s crazy, you can see.

    And Sweetheart, you’ve stuck in space,
    You didn’t look before your leap.
    And as she’s said, her garb she’s shed,
    Giving up subtlety.
    And throwdown all the sequined funk,
    To spin the uncut groove.
    And even without strobe effects,
    She’ll radiate a move.

    Sweetheart, she’s crazy, crazy, you can see.
    And in the ship, she makes it plain,
    She doesn’t want to be.
    You’ll never have a better chance
    She outfunks all you’ve seen,
    And, Sweetheart, she’s crazy, she’s crazy, you can see.

      I told Pancha the outfit could be any color as long as it was sparkly.

        Sometimes you just gotta step back and let the artist do their thing.

    Good gods above and below! That costume change! YES!

    Also! Is there a real-life version of that outfit?

      If there isn’t, expect there to be one now that the image is out there. Cosplayers are just mad fashion scientists, you know.

      All of us and especially Pavane, whom I almost feel sorry for but not quite.

    Tigerlily, for once, was too subtle. Will she help them get off of this shuttle? Her funk has come back, so she’s on the attack. Let’s home there’s no place for rebuttal.

    I gasped because the art was so good.
