I pegged Mako as a goofy mofo. But his wife seems a bit straighter laced. Think he has to keep all his stuff at work because she won't tolerate it at the house?

What's non-thump-bump type he referring to? Oh. Wait. Mako has no combat training? A guy that big? It's not hard. You just find the nearest bad guy, and the nearest wall, then flex mighty thews to introduce the two with great violence. Yay Verily.

If you've got streaming Netflix, I highly recommend Muay Thai Giant for a funny action flick that demonstrates this.

Now they're off to Australia, which could be totally bitchin', but am I detecting a little time off for retrospection like in Las Vegas? Preferably disturbed by a giant Godzilla hologram, flying with pixies, a bunch of hitmen, and a male Queensland koala impersonating Hunter S. Thompson? (Can't help it. Such a fan of Thompson.)

And Mako has pieced back together the damning evidence that Senator whatsisface had thought he destroyed when he was trying to play Pat. Guessing it recorded stuff of use to the Agency as well. Sweet. But is that their ace in the hole, or the reason someone comes after them in Australia? :think:
If you can't live without me, why aren't you dead yet?

I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too.

If God wants all the credit, he's getting all the blame.

No, no combat training, and this is the second time he's implied he has no combat aptitude either. "Bad guys laugh when you do math at them!"

Interesting to know Rachel Peng is a bump-thump-type, though. She must get so sick of Daredevil references.

I was wondering when Mako actually works, but I suppose with full access to the chip you don't need the physical trappings (computer, papers, etc.), and can fill your office up with whatever floats your boat.

We should also store for reference "we're setting a trap for Clarice and I need to be out of the country for it to work." Pat isn't running or seizing on a weak excuse to go on vacation - they're building their whole plan around this move hopefully throwing her off balance.

Count the references! Let's see. We have pintsize from Questionable Content, the little robots from Girl Genius, a They Might Be Giants Apollo 18 poster, a miniature TARDIS from Dr. Who...

Is that Archemedes the clockwork owl, from the original Clash of the Titans movie?

Also, I'm pretty sure that bird has to be from something, but I can't pin it down.

Here's the images with the textbubbles and such removed.

Good eyes for the Titans owl! I didn't think anyone would get that with all of the junk on him.

Nice! I too am surprised that Archimedes was made out - maybe you were looking at the not dissimilar clockwork sparrow, ancientcampus?

Checking their wiki, it looks like those little things in Girl Genius are called "dingbots".

So the gang is headed to the Outback, which is cool. But I know Otter has more planned than just a fan service type of deal. We might learn a little bit about Josh and Mary. Clarice and the rogue ghosts will be thrown a curve and then react. But are we going to pick up a few more recurrent characters along the way? Such a huge change of scenery as going to the other side of the planet would suggest they liase with the locals.

Just a thought.

And, Otter, a gift for you. The Cuteness Could Stop Wars

Ooooh, they're coming to the land down under? Yay!

Probably be an eastern state, though. No love for us sand gropers (Western Australians to the rest of you).

I want to see Hope's reaction when she discovers tim tams :P

Photoshopped. They do NOT say anything about human flesh on the pack.

And I prefer double-coat to classic dark anyway.
Have you ever... Ever felt like this? How strange things happen, are you going Round the Twist

Nope, I just hacked Otter's computer and have been reading the comics before they were posted. :dance:

(Kidding.) Yes, I had been looking at the sparrow, but don't crush my moment of victory!
