    i’d say “paranoid” but given what they already been through I must say that they are “properly paranoid”

      Just because you are paranoid doesn’t mean that they are not after you.

        {evil grin} It’s only paranoia until you have proof.

      To quote Frank Burns from M*A*S*H… “I’m only paranoid because everyone’s out to get me.”

      Even paranoiacs have enemies.

      The question is not: “Am I paranoid?”. The question is: “Am I paranoid enough?”.

      And who knew I was prescient? Although I did think it was just a colander.

    Maybe Nera should consider putting on her attenuator, too. Just in case.

    As Artie described it,* “Humans create a reality in which they’re comfortable.” I wonder if reality blindness is affecting at least Jonah, after all, but his comfortable reality lacks disinterested people rather than talking gerbils.

      If anything, Jonah’s reality has more talking gerbils

    so… quantum visions is a deep cover network masquerading as a scam?

    Sad thing is, everything in the back two panels is accurate.

      What? Even the quantum visions?

      Holy shit, do you think Jonah might be a latent Mad?

        Could be side-effects from the time looping (the past strip of that storyline implied something like that).

        I wouldn’t rule it out, but that’s not necessary: the Choose storyline granted Jonah these visions through SCIENCE! applied externally, and not all subjects of mad science become mad scientists.

        Jonah’s “quantum visions” are an aftereffect of his adventure in the “Choose” arc. The “subterranean crystal entities” are a population of nonhumans living in the basement of Skin Horse’s former headquarters, introduced in “Borrowers.” (Alongside the other populations of nonhumans living in said basement, collectively referred to as the Basement Dwellers)

          I remember the crystal entities. Those guys were pricks. I remember Choose too (one of my favorite arcs), but I hadn’t made the connection between what happened then and “quantum visions”.

    If go-go music keeps them in check, why haven’t they come after us recently? Is there a secret group of Go-go Guerrillas who keep them away?

      Go Go Gorillas! Watch them Go Go Go!

      Gavotte probably has access to lots of dance music and Mustachio’s loudspeaker.

        Neither Gavotte nor Moustachio are at Annex 1 any more. And unless I’ve forgotten something, the Crystal Entities still are. I can’t picture Tigerlily playing Go-Go music. Although with her funk stuck in a permanent rut, who knows what she might play.

          I don’t even know what go-go music is, except that it’s from that same general era and that I’m pretty sure that none of the stuff from that general era that I’ve listened to is it.

          According to Wikipedia, it is considered a subgenre of funk, so you never know.

      Well the subterranean crystals are in Annex One, and can *you* imagine Tigerlilly Jones turning off the funk for even one second?

    All Jonah need to do now is to call Nick to see if he know something and Nick relay this to Skin Horse.

      But if it is the Whimsy Mind Control software, what effect has it had on Nick?

    I wonder how many times he’s done the whole “escaping a-sig” thing now.

    I thought it was Madonna that the crystals hated?

    • Robert Nowall

      That’s a generic hatred.

    • awgiedawgie
      October 3, 2017, 4:29 pm | # | Reply

      They hate any loud noise. The more shrill or percussive, the worse. Madonna just happened to be what Tip threatened them with.

      They are — after all — crystal. Anyone who can hit a high C would be a serious threat. It’s the only world in which Mariah Carey and Louis Armstrong are on the same plane.

    His quantum visions probably have connections inside Anasigma.

      Maybe has quantum visions from being batted forth in time when he was there.

    Hey, kids, today’s strip was brought to you by the letter “P”–as in “Paranoid”! ^_^
