    Sorry, Dude! You’re not as kawaii as she is. ^_^

      Speak for yourself, I’m digging his design.

      Strictly speaking, “kawaii” is derived from “kao hayushi”, describing having a glowing face, and has deep connections to blushing and embarassment – either that of the person or thing being described.

      Eris has constnatly been pretty far from blushing or embarassed, whereas Taintor has displayed pretty severe awkwardness and embarassment (e.g., 2019-10-21), even if his complexion makes it hard for him to blush in the traditional sense.

      Now, technically “kawaii” can also be used to refer to something which makes the observer blush – hence the connection to cuteness, which developed over time – but at point things become entirely subjective, so best not to stray that way.

    …and *without* sufficient frog venom coffee, no things are possible, or at least seem so.

      No things… except for being carried. That is still possible. You just don’t know it.

    For a Mad, Peirson is doing a fairly good job of being the One Sane Man. (Well, there’s Tip. But he’s _supposed_ to be sane.)

      Unless, of course, the sweater is still relevant, in which case this isn’t the real Peirson, and as such he isn’t really Mad.

        BTW, I didn’t ask you last page, since it was almost time for comic update, but where do you live (if I may ask) that you get bears in your yard? Just curious.

            My brother here in New Mexico had a bear knock over his bird feeders a couple times, but he does live up in the mountains.

            Nope. Right smack in the middle of the Lower Peninsula. But we’re only about 1/4 mile from the state forest.

    Oops! Looks like their tech guy (can’t recall if we ever got his name) has fallen victim to Tip’s charms. Pierson, on the other hand, appears to be immune.

      His name is Tainter. I don’t recall if we ever heard a “Dr.” or “Mr.” in front of it.

    “I ❤ ROBOTS” guy, you wanna be carried, you should have a robot to carry you. *eyeroll*

      I tried that once. A-Sig said I should only steal other mad scientists stuff for work related reasons. 🙁

      And I’m wondering if that shirt is an homage to Questionable Content. Granted, not quite identical; their shirts say “I like RoBots and I can not lie” but similar enough to make me wonder.

        On one hand, I wouldn’t be surprised, what with all the cross-tributes that go on in the comics world. But on the other hand, he is their robotics/drone expert, so I kind of doubt it.

    Now, now, little feller, you wait your turn till Lt. Eris is done.

    How does Tip know those tunnels? I don’t recall him ever visiting Carbondale. Am I forgetting something?

      That’s where Tip came to rescue the Cypress from the wildfires.

    Okay, is Lt. Eris out for the count more of a benefit or liability for this team? She’s the fighter, but she also started the wildfire, so 50-50%

      She’s kind of like a cat. She sleeps a lot, and wreaks havoc when she’s awake, but she’s adorable, so you can’t be mad at her for it.
