What’s wrong with listening to The Cure? Although I personally prefer Sisters of Mercy or Siouxie and the Banshees myself, nyao. (Yes, I’m milking this for all it’s worth. Can you blame me? Show me a kitty that doesn’t like milk, and I’ll show you a lactose-intolerant furball.)
Heh. I wonder if the true difference between Mad Scientists and their sane counterparts in this universe might not be that the Mads are the ones who get stuck with the low quality consciences who kinda lie down on the job or just aren’t too skilled at it. You’d think that after agreeing with the tempting fiend that Jenny’s conscience would then think to go on to say something like “But being crazy is one thing and ignoring Lab Protocol quite another!” or something of that sort. <_<
Yeah, they do look pretty similar. Shaenon was actually worried people might confuse them when she first introduced Imogene Frog in Narbonic, but she did it anyway (presumably because Imogene is awesome).
This is gonna turn out like one of those Sixties drug-education books or movies… remember the “Go Ask Alice” hoax book? On one page she tries her first puff of MJ, On the next she’s Reverend Jim from “Taxi”…
Irrevocable … scars if I see …
That’s a crock o’ bull! My sprites agree!
Tigerlily’s got her mojo on!
That new guard will soon be oh, so gone!
They’re sucking face …
Or … second base?
She might let him go … further, to third!
More than that, oh no! That’s quite absurd!
Since my mind is strong, unshockable,
I’ll peek through this door unlockable …
It won’t cause me irrevocable
Harm!
Very possible! But… Echo Bravo’s boss wants them to escape. They want to escape. With ordinary incompetence on his part, they cannot fail to escape. But Echo Bravo is no ordinary incompetent, and “cannot fail” is not in his code book.
If this were a porn game, Ms. Frog would have a fixation shift similar to Victorian Principles from Leisure Suit Larry 7. As it is, it would probably make the most sense if she went from Stepford Wife 50s to Free Love hippy chick 60s, rounding out the collection of 70s Blaxploitation and 80s boogaloo we’ve already seen.
Either way, I think we’ll be leaving her behind fairly soon, she’s an adorable but all-too peripheral character.
Raw mojo could bring Imogene from the 50’s up to at least the punk era!
Worse, she could want to take the “Cure”.

I love how the good one is agreeing that she’s bonkers
Intellectual honesty is an important part of the Heavenly nature! ^_^
Not to mention the scientific one.
I love how the good one has a wee little poodle skirt!
and with a picture of poodle on it 🙂
Well, she is. It wouldn’t be Good to lie, would it? The sprite’s not really doing a very good job, but when did a Mad’s Good sprite ever did?
I remember Helen’s telling her to go after Dave Davenport once. Does that qualify?
As I recall, the advice was, “only maim him!”, so…. yeah, no, not really.
No, oneuniverse2 probably means this. It still seems to be comically missing the point.
…the point of being the Good sprite, that is.
I just realized – The Evil Dave Sprite in Rex Vivat’s link is dressed the same as Dave in that strip.
Is that another Telltale we had been missing as Narbonic progressed?
Shaenon actually mentioned that in the commentary for the strip I was referencing.
I like that the evil one has a schoolgirl uniform on.
Gee it’s been a long time since we have seen the sprites. Glad to see they’re back
This will only lead to trouble. And seat wetting.
Beat me to it.
Gee, shoulder angel, you’re doing such a good job protecting your protegé

So, she looks an awful lot like Dave and Helen Narbon’s time traveling kid…
Am I the only one with this theory?
The similarity’s been pointed out, but she’s definitely not. See here: http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/narbonic_plus#strip6
Oh, someone’s already said that. Never mind.
SERIOUSLY. HEAVY. PETTING. Oh joy! There should be eye bleach where they’re at, at least. XD
Yeah, they do look pretty similar. Shaenon was actually worried people might confuse them when she first introduced Imogene Frog in Narbonic, but she did it anyway (presumably because Imogene is awesome).
Ah so that’s where I recognized the name from, it wasn’t the bar hop. Well, there goes that theory.
How odd, I’m hearing Imogene’s lines with the voice of Penny from RWBY. Seems a good fit. 🙂

Ms. Jones seems confident of her raw mojo. But let’s all remember it’s Echo Bravo, and who knows how it will affect him.
(Unless there’s some other guard I don’t know about…)
I’m really looking forward to when Tigerlily’s mojo fails to sway him due to conservative, square values but Imogene does due to her wholesome 50sness

Could they use EB as a henchman?

I hope she comes back occasionally. Imogene’s and Tigerlilly’s mutual incomprehension is comedy gold.
It occurs to me, perhaps belatedly, that offspring of Tip and Tiger Lily would be the shock and awe of mojoistas everywhere. Double-dose delights.
Could the world handle it?
The sprites are back, whee!
Y’know, this could actually be good for Imogene in the long run . . .
Not necessarily good for anyone else on the planet, mind you, but still good for her.
You know, I really don’t know which of those two I prefer.
