    Took a while, but we finally get Lovelace fan service.

      Yes. This is definitely one of her finest moments! 🙂

        Baron M.’s followers were always outraged at her excessive clothing. http://skin-horse.com/comic/not-the/

          Eh, proper clothing for proper circumstances. It still annoys me that she wasn’t packing a shield in the one you linked to. But in current context? Yeah, I’ll cheerfully agree that they might be overdressed and I attribute the modesty of their costumes purely to the gentlemanly instincts of Baron. Particularly where Aimee is concerned. He’s less of a sleaze than I thought and might very well be at the Ataru Moronishi level of chivalry. 🙂

          (Suddenly I want to see Aimee and Lovelace in tigerskin bikinis in order to give Baron double Lum action! 😀 ).

      What, Post-Apocalyptic Warrior Queen Lovelace from Fun For Some didn’t do it for you?

    I see Aimee and Baron are still on the same wavelength.

    Their names were Lola
    They were some showgirls
    With fluffy feathers in their hair
    and their skirts cut down to there

    Apologies to Barry Manilow.

      …and now I’m wondering if Manilow’s Lola was the same Lola as The Kinks’ Lola?

      My mind goes to Cole Porter’s My Heart Belongs to Daddy.

      I guess I’m showing my age! 🙂

    Lovelace’s concern for Nick is touching.

      Touching? Lovelace never was thrilled by the idea of physical contact…

        Lovelace’s aversion to touching is concerning.

    “Nick’s been in there a while.”
    “We’re moving at A.I. speed. Not much time has passed in meatspace.”
    “Umm… two questions.”
    “Shoot.”
    “First, why are you (an AI) explaining to me (another AI) how AI speed works?”
    “Oh! Uhhh… I… don’t actually… know? I felt strangely compelled toward exposition.”
    “Okayyy then. Second, what does meatspace have to do anything?”
    “What do you mean?”
    “You and I aren’t in meatspace. We’re both moving at the same speed he is.”
    “Err…”
    “He has been gone a long time from our point of view, which is the same as his.”
    “Hmm. You make an excellent point.”
    “Are you feeling okay? Are you glitching, or is this just a personality quirk?”
    “I’m not sure. Maybe I need some downtime – free up some RAM or something.”

      It’s because Lovelace is a pure AI. Aimee is reminding her little time has passed in the physical world so the probability of harm having come to Nick’s meat peripheral is low.

    So when does the floor show start?

      More to the point, when does the evisceration begin?

        As soon as Lovelace catches up to the Baron, I would think.

    If that’s the most embarrassing showgirl costumes Baron’s fevered subconscious came up with then he either really is trying to create as much of a 1960s Vegas vibe as possible or he’s never been on Fremont Street.

      Perhaps the Baron, horndog though he wishes to be, isn’t actually that impressed by nudity? After all, he never wears clothes himself…

      It’s like my second-favorite episode of The Bionic Woman…

          That is my favorite!- guess great minds warp alike! I could have done without her clearly male stand-in, though. I didn’t like it when Stallone stood in for Lindsay Wagner either…

          • David B Huber
            March 14, 2021, 12:12 am | #

            So agreed, Pygar! Nighthawks ending would have been so much stronger had it been Lindsay who turned around to confront Rutger Hauer!

            I just can’t decide if I’d have preferred seeing her brandishing the revolver or going toe-to-toe and pinning him to the wall with kitchen knives…

            In either case, Stallone comes home bursting through the door and she asks sweetly “Honey, would you mind taking out the trash?”

    Watch out, Baron. These are not real friends. The only real friends are unreal friends, the kind who tell you how much you doth own.

    I wanted to link to 4 September 2006 Narbonic strip about Lovelace wasting them with her awesome rack, but when I tried I got a message that I needed to update Flash Player, which no longer exists. Narbonic.com won’t load at all. Is it lost to us?

      I dunno. I bought the books, have only plowed through the site on occasion. Tried the link just now, got an “OOPS! Timed Out!” screen.

        Couldn’t locate that particular strip on the Wayback Machine, alas. But I just made a short search.

      The strips at http://narbonic.com/comic/september-4-9-2006/ still work.

      Might be the browser you’re using. I don’t have any trouble viewing Narbonic using Google Chrome or even Internet Explorer. Apple Safari, however, no longer supports Flash at all, so if you’re using a Mac, I would suggest using a different browser.

    Okay, I’ll admit I was expecting at least a can-can dress, but not this!
