    And I’ll bet he absolutely *ruins* that sweater!

      Actually I think the sweaters colour palette works on gibbering plant monster

    Either there’s more than just Cypress out here, or she’s been taking up some *weird* hobbies.

      Specifically, knitting sleeves.

    Enter Alice….loudly. If he still has her….I guess that’s an “OOOps”. And it looks like not all the fantasies are, nor are they friendly. Thanks. Something is happening.

    What I love about this comic is that I can see a strip like this and go “ooohhhh, that makes sense, I get it”

      When madness starts to make sense, you are no longer on the fence

    OK. Why did Tip pull one of his quick-change acts? Today’s colors are very different!

    And I so do not want to see the Therapy Puppet this engenders!

      It’s the same outfit Tip had on yesterday, just in a different light. So the purple looks more dusky blue. The dress however, is still gold.

      At least he has his collar back

      there are two tips.
      one has a collar and the other is made of plants.
      i hope they like each other.

        But, perhaps, not *too* much…

    Plant material after all. Darn, I generally try to be wrong or put it in a cryptogram. I was pretty certain Tip wasn’t kilt, but I didn’t think about how the other half might accidentally be right.

    Also, nothing pretties up a plant monster faster than a flower in what would be its hair, if it had hair.

      Ever read “Who Goes There?” by John W. Campbell?

        Ever watched the Howard Hawks adaptation by mistake?

          Yeah. All the versions of it had little to do with the story.

    Wow! Any guesses as to which is the real Dr. Phillips?

    I mean, in this series it could be ANYTHING.

    …hang on. The sweater was real.

    Is the Knitting Ninja trying to warn people?

        Or the sweater *is* the Cypress’ route of infection and the duplicates are perfectly ordinary duplicates (for the Narboniverse’s version of ordinary)

        The Knitting Ninja was also wearing one of those sweaters as well so this still begs the question of why he was doing this. @_@

      Or was it? It seems to be melding pretty well into this … plant-person

    The Cypress can create replicas of specific people now?

      Now that’s taking plant-based meat a bit too far!

    Why does he remind me of some hamsters I used to know?

    So yeah, the folks guessing Pod People really hit the nail precisely on the head.

    I love the way Tip is so utterly unfazed.

      Not only is he unfazed, he even seems almost appreciative for the prompt visual example of “eccentricities”.

    So, Dr. Philips was a plant. Both like a spy *and* like perambulatory asparagus!

    Y’know, this guy still could be the “real” Dr. Phillips. How would we know for sure?

    Okay, who let the Thing out of Antarctica? Whoever you are, you are going to have to clean up the mess.
