The Mad Scientist Wars:
Aaron Shades seems to be covering for his lack of tact by first arguing with me, then attempting to be diplomatic. Does he really think that– wait one moment. What’s that he’s carrying…?
I quickly dodge as Aaron Shades hurls a– what is that?
Oh no! It’s a vorpal bunny! And I left all of my Holy Hand Grenades in my secret lab… I guess I’ll have to run away, but first, I think… yesss.
I tell my jetpack to dodge for long enough for my tool belt to synthesize the requested item, then ‘accidentally’ drop it as I’m flying away. Hopefully, one of my two nemesises will find it. Then… the fun will begin. Heh heh heh. Nyee hee hee hee hee. AHAHAHAHAHA! MWAHAHAHAHAA–wha?!
It has wings?! No one told me vorpal bunnies coud grow wings! I… hey, little feller… I’m sure you’re a niiice easy-going, uh, bunny… take it easy now.. easy… I said, easy… eeeas–uhoh.
RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!!
So It Begins (soitbegins) says:
This will be interesting.
Side note:
*peeks head out of bunker* Is she gone?
Oh, good. Phew. Considering I now have two enemies, I’m ++glad one just flew awa–hey, what’s this?
Ooh! A chocolate bar. Looks to be unopened, which is important… hm. I think it must have fallen from Jane’s pack when she bailed. Likes chocolate, does she? Well, one man’s… er, woman’s loss is another man’s gain.
*eats chocolate bar*
Yum. That was good.
Y’know, I think I need to take a liedowww…. *thud*
Thomas Levy (ergonomytch) says: It’s a good thing Tip comes to work ready for anything, otherwise he’d be underdressed for the opera.
Tiff Hudson (tiff_hudson) says: I wonder where the silverfish swiped the opera glasses.
Dave Van Domelen (dvandom) says: Them’s some strong silverfish.
NigaiAmai Yume (nigaiamai_yume) says:
Re: Tiff’s “I wonder where the silverish swiped the opera glasses.”
Basement. Of a goverment building. Dedicated to obscure and likely obscene departments.
They’d likely find enough equipment to recreate a functional orchestra, if they could use the instruments.
Actually, given the scale, they probably HAVE. It’s just a question of if Tip could HEAR the music thus produced.
My question: How many other people have seen silverfish opera? How long HAVE these guys been sentient, particularly since “the castle has stood for hours” appears to be considered an accomplishment?
Ed Gedeon (eddurd) says: Basement. Of a goverment building. Dedicated to obscure and likely obscene departments.
Which would make it likely that the opera glasses have a small button marked “critic” that activates the megawatt laser.
Incog Neato (ghede) says: Glee! I love his use of language. So descriptive, so poetic. So funny.
NigaiAmai Yume (nigaiamai_yume) says: Great, now I want a “critic” enabled set of Opera Glasses. ^-^
Jeremy Berg (pisceneanteater) says:
Narbonic spent six years referencing the cream of geek culture, leaving Skin Horse with. . .Pretty Woman. Apparently.
. . .
Actually, that seems appropriate for Tip, somehow.
Aaron Shades (prof_tinker) says:
Well, actually those are just binoculars. Opera Glasses are much smaller, and somewhat artfully designed. But the silverfish still get bonus points for civility.
The Mad Scientist Was (what must the authors think of it?):
Professor Tinker looks around in astonishment, which quickly turns to glee as his foes drop like flys.
One is on the run from Fluffy, the Vorpal Winged Bunny, and the other seems to have eaten a explosive candy bar.
VICTORY! *laughs maniacally* Fools! Did you really think that you could win against the likes of *me*?! Let this be a lession!
FEAR THE NAME OF TINKER!!
*walks away, whistling, to go correct term papers*
Be back home for dinner, fluffy.
So It Begins (soitbegins) says: Be warned, Aaron: This is not over.
Shaenon Garrity (shaenongarrity) says: Narbonic spent six years referencing the cream of geek culture, leaving Skin Horse with. . .Pretty Woman.� Apparently.
This is Jeffrey’s dark influence. He’s so much eviller than me.
Ryan Boes (thatguy) says: Well, actually those are just binoculars.
Well they’d have to binoculars, and high powered ones at that, for Tip to truely appreciate them.
bzzzzd (bzzzzd) says:
Tip seems quite adaptable to the circumstances, having quickly gone from “yuck, silverfish!” to having them sitting in his hands. Also, the instant trust seems an innate part of the fishies makeup as well. And it also appears the irradiation gives them extraordinary strength as well as a bizarre intelligence. Microwave culture.
(Not to get involved in a word-was, but I would earnestly hope that the professor’s primary language isn’t english. He should see a real doctor about those les(s)ions, and, FYI? XYZ. It flies in the face of propriety. Term papers, indeed.)
Tiff Hudson (tiff_hudson) says: Yeah, I kinda meant which cool government office did they get the binoculars from. I keep my gyro-stabilized binoculars in the car so I can use them to check out street signs from two blocks away – and because the silverfish will never find them there.

@Prof_Tinker: Is he saying “Let this be a lesson”? Or, “let this be a lesion”?
With mad scientists you never can tell… they like their lobotomies.
But this comic missed a golden chance to have the opera glasses be a microscope.
