Anasigma might be entrenched with superior technology, but Skin Horse is now mobile, are connected to the community that is being targeted, and have a long history of doing something so completely unexpected to screws up the bad guy’s plans over a long range. All the plans and preparations in the world can’t protect from Murphy’s Law going completely wild.
And, of course, they’re much prettier than Anasigma.
Guerilla war waged by a technologically inferior foe can beat out a better equipped army, but only if that army isn’t willing to commit to total warfare. I get the impression that Anasigma doesn’t have a problem wiping out all NHS’s that oppose them.
Yes, Sweetheart, Mr. Green has vast forces at his beck and call (including the Second Gate). But you have a nuclear powered giant robot, a scientific genius, a precog, a cyborg, a hacker, a nanotech supersoldier, an augmented Canadian Battle Dog and a psychologist. Anasigma doesn’t have a chance!
Tip’s profile, smile, fist in the last panel: That’s very early Doonesbury, either Zonker or Mike. I’ve always enjoyed Shannon’s nods to Doonesbury and other strips, in Skin Horse and Narboniverse.
Bite him on the arm, Sweetheart.
You’d be surprised about the tensile strength of lovingly braided arm hair.
It’s a bluff Sweetheart, kevlar doesn’t stop puncture wounds. Go for it!
Yeah sure, but what if it’s capsaicin-dipped kevlar?!?
I concur. Wearing a pair of kevlar gardening gloves does not prevent my cacti from giving me grief when weeding around them.
And what if it’s kevlar designed by Mad science?
Then it would be used for lampshades. To shield against the gamma bulbs.
Being prettier worked for Muhammad Ali.
“We can’t die, Sweetheart. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too damn pretty for God to let us die.”
That’s the connection I made too.
See, this is why I shouldn’t skip my webcomics on my day off. Because someone else made this reference.

I’m enjoying the fact that Tip isn’t the first blonde in the Narboniverse to trumpet the usefulness of Kevlar legwear.

Thought the Second Gate got kinda broken up after Skin-Horse’s sojourn in the Mirror Universe.
