Panel 1 shows Nick so nonchalant and in charge, with Tip literally along for the ride – it’s perfect!
Panel 2 really had me worried! Did Nick overtax himself acting as a human router for Tip? Was some weird interaction with Tip’s mojo transporting both of them to another dimension? And… “Sugar!”?
At panel 3 I relaxed because that was such a quintessential Tip thing to say it was downright reassuring.
And panel 4 just proves that even in Aimee’s World, led by an electrokinetic cyborg, the world is Tip’s oyster! Do I detect some Spanish influence in Tip’s ensemble? (and Nick, count your blessings – it could’ve been SO much worse!)
I guess Aimee recognizes Nick’s arrivals and no longer feels a need to pop in? At least there aren’t any guardian bunnies to make Nick run the gauntlet this time, either.
My hindbrain is gibbering a warning that indeed “something’s wrong”. Nick should have landed on his feet (so to speak), and his swears seem filtered again. Almost as if Anasigma’s insidious mind control software had been tweaked to target a specific troublesome electrokinetic…
Even with the swear filter, Nick would sometimes wrongswear intentionally – usually around Virginia. But since they became a couple – even though Virginia removed the filter – he wrongswears a lot more often. She’s had a remarkable effect on his behavior.
I’ve always held to the notion that if you use these words all the time, they lose all force. I’ve known a couple of guys who, well, every other word was the “f-word,” and after awhile you just edit it out as they talk.
Zerhakker and Wilkin did miff her. So Tip, nervous he, begged to differ. But something went wrong, with Nick under the thong—and the crinoline could have been stiffer.
I love love love the transition between the zig zags on the dress and the static. And, as always, I wish Tip (or you, as his wardrobe director) could dress me… or at least allow me to purchase from his wardrobe. He has single-handedly turned me into a hat person.
Oh dear lord. That is an *amazing* dress. Thank you, Shaenon!
And I think Nick’s buried under all those petticoats so yeh.
Yeah, though it looks like Nick’s dialogue is coming from the castle.
I mean, it would be awesome if Nick were the castle -and- the dude buried under Nicks’ skirts, but I’m not sure that’s what’s intended.
When Tip finally ties the knot, this is the dress he should get

Nick has been self censoring his swearing the entire time though.

I say “Sugar” myself so much that I didn’t even notice it until pointed out in the comments!

Nick’s wrongswears are becoming downright Gavotte-ish.
Yeah, I’ll say something’s wrong. Nick’s in a position to see it all.
Eh, only if there’s nothing under the crinoline, which is unlikely. You do NOT want crinoline chafing directly on sensitive skin all day.
i had to look up two words for this one. thank you mr wells.
If Tip has a decolletage, I can help what else he has under that crinoline.
Can’t help!!! Thinking just exactly what went wrong here.
Well, it is VR. He can appear however he wants.
since décolletage is also a way to say beheading, it’s up to you.
Confusing the dress fabric for a static screen is such a good visual joke I’m in awe.
Agreed!
Yes, I love that gag!
To think, if only Nick had chosen to land just two feet to the left, he could have avoided all this.
Ah well, his loss, our gain.
