    It’s the return of the Wrenchie! The terror of all vehicles!

    Wait, wait, that’s *SERGIO*! Holy hell I’m slow on the uptake!

    Sergio can still do badass – who knew? Also, Ginny looks especially adorable in the second panel.

      Shouldn’t surprise you, he’s been around Mell for long enough.

    (TUNE: “Spooky”, The Classics IV)

    This is Men-do-za, he’s the guy who works beside our Dr. Lee now …
    Do you suppose, this loser know what goes between that babe and me now?
    Give him some sass, today I’m putting him down,
    But he replies, and wins … this round!
    Sergio and Wrenchie almost wrecked the rocking universe!

    This is the fool who went and larked up Dr. Lee’s big secret project …
    He’s such a tool, but that refers to both a person and an object!
    He’s got ’em all, he’s got ’em there in his kit,
    So watch your mouth, he takes … no Schmidt!
    Sergio and Wrenchie almost wrecked the rocking universe!

    Each time I see that Lee is with another guy, I kinda lose it …
    This one tells me, “I’ve got a wrench, and I am not afraid to use it!”
    Whole freakin’ summer has been no fun at all,
    But he might have … a real great fall!

    Just think what he could do if he had brought his Leatherman!

    Sergio, sergio…don’t take credit for almost collapsing the universe. Blame it on Jonah, you dolt.

    Unless you want to take credit for it. In which case; SHAME on you!

    Is that the guy who was working on the project for the previous storyline? That caused the adorable nerd boy to have respawn points? (Apologies, I am really bad at names.)

      I’m not sure his name was mentioned, but yeah, I believe it’s supposed to be the same dude.

      Yep. A younger version of him is also a protagonist in one of Shaenon’s other projects over on girlamatic, “Li’l Mell”.

      Yes, it is. Skin Horse seems to be to irresponsible science what Narbonic was to mad science.

    For some reason, I see Dr. Lee’s necklace in panel 1 and can’t help but think “shupid”.

    A thought. A strange, bizarre, and entirely unsupported thought.
    Serg and Mell were schoolyard Chums.

    But take a look at the girl with glasses and pigtails in this page of Li’l Mell.

    Does she not have a very Ginny-esque feel to her? And given the teachers shown a few pages later are suspiciously familiar… circles within circles, it seems.

      Can’t really tell if it’s Ginny or not, but there’s two kids in the back row who look even more familiar…

        Thanks! I never noticed chibi Jeff and Shaenon before (well, chibi Jeff’s hat, at least). I kinda doubt that Ginny was Sergio’s classmate: he’s not a kid who would fail to make an impression.

      …I see, from left to right, Julie, Tip, Virginia, and Nick.

        Wait…maybe, instead of chibi-Virginia…pre-zombie UNITY? The pigtails are giving me that idea…

    There’s a party in the science project and my toolbox is invited?
