Does a VW microbus powered by a Tesla electric engine put anyone else in an ethical quandary? Specifically, would it bother Tigerlily or be proof that we’re closer to Planet Lovetron.
I didn’t notice. Never figured Tigerlily as a Mercedes type. Though on reflection, VW microbus doesn’t really fit Jones’ groove, either.
Maybe the car Homer Simpson designed. Tigerlily could work with that.
IRL the VW microbus has a long tradition of being modded. I believe the funk factor would support conversion to electric. Or steam. Or biodiesel. Or flywheel.
Aren’t they up on top of the Positronic Love Tower West (formerly known as the Space Needle?) Won’t they have trouble getting Mercury J. Buchanan down from there?
that… is actually a pretty good solution. I’m proud of Tigerlily, she’s all grown up
More like Mercury J BuchaVAN, amirite?
Mine was named Vincent.
Mine was named Hugo the Hugbus (we were young and silly; 30 years later we’re just silly).
Mine was just “the van”
Because when you would drive, then Vincent Van Go?
Remember when Madblood stuck the pickled brain of Dave into a robot? Is this just a reverse situation?
How many miles to the winding?
Knowing Tigerlily, it is self-winding.
Well, clockwork would certainly be an improvement on the original motor
Uh-oh! The wrench!
It’s the time traveller’s wrench! How did she get it away from future sight kid?
Mercury? Looks more like a Volkswagen to me.

It’s a Mercedes. You can tell by the peace sign on front.

And anyway we KNOW it’s Spring Powered

Now I’m leery about what kind of “extras” Tigerlily put into the bus. I’d doubt she’d be able to stop at just give hundred miles per winding.
Within 50 miles they’ll find out if it truly is Mercury J. Buchanan, or if it’s Dick Turpin.
If I ever get a gyroplane, I’m naming it Dick Turpin.
I can never look at one of those without thinking of the car chase in “What’s Up Doc?”
And if it talks, at least the reality blindness will keep anyone from noticing.

Nah, she was only on top of the tower when she made her initial greeting. She came downstairs (albeit not down to earth) when they landed.
then what’s with the little grey rectangles in the background?
I simply adore Tigerlilly’s expression of puzzlement in the last panel!
It’s better than yelling Sue
