Alycia Shedd (leeshajoy) says: …so, wait, Sweetheart was created as a weapon? I can’t wait to hear the story behind that.
Kristy Valenti (alienjukebox) says: Tik-Tok!
Cameron Nielsen (cameroncn) says: Wow, Kristy, YOU’RE RIGHT. Don’t know why I didn’t see it myself! Man…the parallels are becoming freaky! So wonderfully so! (And Tip is hilarious in a short skirt and high heeled boots!) 😀
Thomas Levy (ergonomytch) says:
Hmm, maybe if we have Tip as Ozma, and Sweetheart as Dorothy…
I still think Unity has to be Scarecrow. Or maybe the Scraps the Patchwork Girl?
Dov Mittelman (silentspeaker) says: Monday’s comic: Silly Unity. Everyone has a secret power. Eliminate the obvious and what remains is karaoke.
Rachel S. (masamage) says: My brain went “Tik-Tok!” too. 😀
Hardy Sharla (yllaria) says: Ooo! Nice legs, there. And he really knows how to perch on a desk.
Elaine Corvidae (elaine_corvidae) says: Tip, that boot/stocking combo is to die for!
Magnolia Pearl Porter (magnoliapearl) says: MOUSTACHIO RULES. That is all.
Dave Van Domelen (dvandom) says: Of course Sweetheart was created as a weapon. But you don’t think anyone set out to create a bad webcomicker in Leo, eh? Smart enough to do the uplifting, not smart enough to limit it to “just uplifted enough to be a good warrior”. No, mad scientists always have to gild the lily, and they end up with uplifts that are so smart they’re uninterested in being witless minions.
Quentin Long (cubist) says: Thomas Levy: Unity is Scraps. Can’t hardly be nobody else; of all the at least vaguely major Oz character, only Scraps is an assemblage of parts from a wide range of sources. Hmmm… depending on how obscure Channing felt like being, perhaps Unity *might* be a psychotic Fuddlecumjig (see also: EMERALD CITY OF OZ)?
Sam Daniel (samhdaniel) says:
That’s a difficult look to pull off for most men.
Also, it must be really hard to keep pointing the toes down that way.
Thomas Levy (ergonomytch) says: So I notice that Tip has been doing all the narration. Does that mean the story will be rigidly from his perspective?
Jeffrey Channing Wells (channing) says:
I think everyone else in this strip has better things to do than sit around talking to the camera. That having been said, Tip’s POV status is not ironclad; I would draw your attention to the Sweetheart / Leo strips of the previous storyline, for which Tip was not present.

Mr Steve says: Re: Unity’s glass – I assumed it’s a glass of Bromo Seltzer, so you’re seeing the bubbles.
I assumed it was the distorted image of Unity’s heart-patterned shirt.
Fishnets? In the workplace!?!? I’ve been out of the office toooo long. Though I must admit that at first look I thought they were what my girlfriend calls ‘leggings’ when she wears short skirts.
I knew ‘M’ was English! The flowery-accented letter and the ‘Master Tip’ gave it away, Master being the proper English address for a young man generally considered very young or inexperienced, and not being used in the sense of evil minion to a MS.
Thomas Levy (ergonomytch) says:
Hey check out that desk in the background of the last panel. That is either Tip’s desk or the desk of the last employee. It has a picture of a kitty on it!
So is the last one feline? Are they the boss? Does that mean they descriminate against rodents?
Ed Gedeon (eddurd) says: He’s got leeeeeeegs … he knooooooows how to uuuuuuse theeemmmmmm ….
NigaiAmai Yume (nigaiamai_yume) says:
Tip, you created YOURSELF as a weapon with THOSE legs.
I’m a straight girl not into guys crossdressing (Except tasteful cross-play, since anime chicks get all the best outfits), but VaVaVoom!
Rockphed (rockphed) says: Wait, where are Moustacio’s arms? Does he even have arms? Do we get to equip him with shoulder mounted rocket launchers and flame-throwers for his come back rampage to the Silverdome? He would be a totally rad monster truck.
Eric Burns (ericburns) says:
A monster truck?
Piffle! Unbecoming of the manly arts of pugilism and the manly rotations of turbines driven by steam. So childish, these dependencies on internal combusion and rocketry! The only form of carbonized dinosaur that truly, elegantly powers an engine of destruction is good old fashioned Pennsylvania Anthricite!
Dave Van Domelen (dvandom) says: Okay, what’s Tip’s last name?
Rockphed (rockphed) says: Hey, you can make a Coal Powered Monster Truck if you want! Actually, that would rock most utterly! Let the Mad Science Begin!
I just found this, and it is SO Oz. Tip who’s a cross dresser, a Cowardly Lion, a talking dog–the creator has certainly read Baum’s Oz books, and made great use of them.
