Remember, she’s based on Nick with swear filter on- she doesn’t have the filter, but she tends to curse as if she does. It’s kind of adorable (which, given Whimsy corp is involved, may be deliberate in a mildly-sinister-but-I-have-trouble-pinpointing-exactly-why sort of way).
I wouldn’t say they have reason to be ticked. A little reluctant to cooperate at first, perhaps, given the Baron’s initial comments, but he changed his tune (well, Aimee changed his tune), and made a genuine display of contrition, and so here they are.
I think Bruce may be referring to the fact that Spacetrawler ended in 2013. It started up again in 2016, but readers of the old series may not have realized that.
I’m having trouble keeping up with everything they’re up to. I’ve been pondering these mini-Zombie-Gnomes at a cash register display in Barnes & Noble, wondering whether they had anything to do with it…then a troll through the archives showed they had.
Is there a list anywhere, that I don’t know about?
They may be looking forward to this. Notary monks have many skills, engineering probably not one of them. The windups might need more comprehensive maintenance than they can provide for themselves.
It would seem the clockwork army learned to be polite under the tutelage of the Notaries Public.
They’ve probably also learned elegant handwriting (claw-writing?) and seventeen different ways to file paperwork.
Way to wind up Baron.
How did Baron wind up like that, anyway?
Like what? Nice? Because Aimee is currently in control of his body.
I’m pretty sure he’s just trying to wind you up with puns.
Anyone want to bet that we’ll find out that Baron is weirdly enjoying this, just to set up an “I want you inside me” joke at the end?
Might “pootie-head” be a popular term used by Robin, or used by others in his presence?
Or both?

Oh, and that that’s not Baron at the moment.
Why, yes, I’d put on a friendship bracelet made by strange robots with reason to be ticked at me. What’s the worst thing that could happen?

Uh… clockwork… ticked… oh, never mind!
Do they know who they’re talking to?
Oh, good grief. I was tired this morning. I completely missed that.

What, there’s a new Spacetrawler series? It’s like early Christmas Lite!
Not a series, a graphic novel. I can’t wait!
I think Bruce may be referring to the fact that Spacetrawler ended in 2013. It started up again in 2016, but readers of the old series may not have realized that.
I did not! But now I am enlightened.
That sounds amazing!!!

Yup, Andrew and I wrote the booklet that comes with the mini Zombie Gnomes.
Indeed, if you have not yet read the Zombie Gnome Defense Guide, you really, really need to. Your life could depend on it one day!
“Maybe you just need your friendship springs tightened.”
That’s incredibly sweet.
Wait till they learn their creator is just ’round the next corner…
I have a suspicion that they already know she’s there, and she’s on their side now. After all, it was her idea to call them in.
