    I’m finding this one kind of hard to follow. Did the guys in white hypnotize Lim-lim?

      It looks like they tazed Niue, and then tazed Lim-Lim.

      Poor Niue. She’s adorable, she just has a hat problem.

        Having “a hat problem” automatically disqualifies her from “adorable”.

      Yeah. They tazed Niue to restrain her, Lim-Lim went for them, and they tazed him too. The whirlygig eyes are for ‘stunned’.

        And it’s called anti-bear martial arts.

    Now they have a Panda Incident, too! Unity is not alone.

    I meant to say this last weak: I don’t know the terms “logging” and “declare”, the tigers claws aren’t technically long enough to make a wound that makes that much blood, and why do they have cleanig bills?

      Logging: Writing down, as in a log or other record.
      Declare: In this context, reporting to the government income or expenses for income tax.
      Claws don’t have to be too long if HT knows the anatomy of his victim well enough to hit a major artery.
      They have cleaning bills because of the Rule of Funny. ^_^
      (Also to get rid of the blood before the hippies come to spring them. It might have made it more difficult to convince them if they had seen or smelled it)

        Well, he is also a carnivore.

        Saliva is actually very good at getting blood stains out of things: it’s an old quilter’s trick, for when you stab yourself with the sewing needle or roll the fabric cutter over your hand,

    Ok, I’m tempted to use tazed Lim-lim as my avatar.

    The filk for this one is going to have to be to the tune of “Hold that Tiger”, right?

    James, I had thought of that as one possibility … and since you asked …
    (TUNE: “Hold That Tiger”, The Original Dixieland Jazz Band)

    Use that tazer! Don’t just graze her! It will daze her! Slightly faze her!
    Lay your hand-a … on that panda! She can’t stand-a!
    Lim-Lim staggers, tiger swaggers!

    H.T.’s off now! See him scoff now!
    Plots by the potful brew …
    Did I mention, he’s got henchmen?
    What will that tiger do??

    Those must be some heavy duty tasers to effect something with the body mass of a giant panda…

    Giant Panda males only reach about 4 foot at the shoulder and 6 foot in length, top weight usually about 250 pounds, females being a little shorter and only reaching weights about 200-220 pounds, so a Tazer should still work really well on one. Of course Lim-Lim isn’t a standard Giant Panda and may have extra bulk or a boosted metabolism that could resist the effects of large electric shocks on his system.

    @ John Cambell: Unity has 2 panda incidents. She’s still ahead on points.

    Y’know, when H.T. finally implements his plans, the hippies are going to feel really, really dumb for all of this.

      Well, and everyone else who voted for this. Remember, no major government decision, anywhere, ever, has taken place solely due to the Hippie Lobby.

        The hippies are the morons who sprung all the transgenic criminals, though.

    Aren’t they supposed to give some warning before using force? Niue was acting squirrely on panel, not yet actually attacking H.T.

    She was attacking off-panel in the last comic. Also, I think the guards may still have bad habits from the ‘this is all black-ops’ days.

    That fourth panel, with tazed Lim-Lim, is one more way you can tell that Shaenon used to work at Viz.
