Fortunately only his meat peripheral has to worry about digesting anything, and he’s smart enough to not put either of those in his mouth. Good thing, too. I can’t even imagine how hard it would be to get the taste of zombie out of your mouth.
Is anyone else gonna point out that Tigerlily is gonna try to force the robots to be fly and funky and all that crap? (Like I said before, playing out her role as the man, like when she called her creations squares.) On a slightly relevant note, did anyone else notice that the robot activists in this world are overly emotional and illogical? (That goes directly against the stereotype.
Looks like we again get to see the effeminate and semi-useless Tip slowly begin to act counter to type as presented in the strip. I’ve known some ‘dressers’. None were anything like Tip.He was once a fine officer, I’m sure.NONE of the real-live ones I’ve
known were worth much; being somewhat kinder than I probably express, I got to
see if ANY could contribute to the effort. I LOVE weird and strange people, but
cross-dressers aren’t worth much as agents, usually.
Current temporary U.S. President has been deep ‘in the Closet’ since his first
True Love, Roy Cohn, left us. That person is the one exception to my
experience with the type. Oh….and Tip, who is superb.
This is kind of a dumb question and also unrelated to the current plot line, but I just realized that I can’t remember which of Nick’s bodies has his brain in it!
His meat body. Remember, his brain was removed from the helicopter, Virginia had to rescue him from being destroyed, and then she had to get him a “temporary” body to preserve his brain while his helicopter body wasn’t around. Then they got the aircraft back, but he could interface with it remotely through an implant in his brain, rather than needing to actually be plugged in.
To use some old Shadowrun terminology, basically Nick went from being a jarhead cyborg (human brain living in a robot body), to being a Rigger (someone who “jacks in” to a vehicle and controls it directly with their brain, as opposed to through a set of controls like a joystick, steering wheel, etc.)
He’s bringing his whole wardrobe? Either he’s planning on some serious romancin’ or he’s still insecure from the traumatic loss of his previous wardrobe.
Can Nick fit all that inside him?
He was able to carry an entire rampaging zombie horde, he might be able to just fit Tim’s wardrobe.
Both must’a been hell on his digestion…

The last panel had me cackling. I mean, how did he manage to get all that clothing?

You will notice that many of Shaenon’s creations (characters?) act directly against the stereotype: That’s a major attraction for me.
The robots have GPP: Genuine People Personality.
Nick’s hair looks a little shaggier than i remember in panel 3, maybe he’s been letting the meat peripheral grow it out. It’s a cute look.
…this raises the question: are Tip’s steamer trunks non-human sapients?
…Tip. The Luggage. Match made in heaven?
But I don’t see any of the little feet.
They don’t always show.

So much for the overnight bag!
Tip is prepared for Sweetheart’s Apocalypse!
Tip’s come a long way since when he was living in his sweats.
That’s not really saying much.

Thanks, D.!
The real question is this: which of Tip’s steamer trunks has -his- brain in it?
None. He threw it out to make room for his leopard-skin pillbox hat.
What a shame! He could have let UNITY have it instead!
I thought his brain was in his pants.
He’s bringing his whole wardrobe? Either he’s planning on some serious romancin’ or he’s still insecure from the traumatic loss of his previous wardrobe.
Or both.
Tip, no
