Leon Arnott (l) says:
Monday: Ruffled hair: the most delightful sight gag. The only previous times where Helen has been drawn without glasses were when she was in bed. Her nude face in panel 4 is nothing short of damning.
David Harmon (mental_mouse) says:
Poor naive Artie! And Helen smacks the fourth wall again....
So It Begins (soitbegins) says:
Heh heh.
Mark Chapman (aardvark86) says:
Practice made perfect!

Tiff Hudson (tiff_hudson) says:
I think the drawing of Helen in Dave's flannel is awesome, which is why the original hangs over my studio worktable. :-) Along with the one where the hotel towels are *much* too small.
Jon Stout (brasswatchman) says:
And here we go - the big reveal.
Jason Summerlott (melkarion) says:
There is, of course, no reason in-universe for Helen to be wearing Dave's flannel simply to answer the phone, save that it is (as we know) THE SOURCE OF ALL HIS POWER. Or, you know perhaps the lab was a bit cold... but I be Helen controls the thermostat. Wheels within wheels.
Hilary Bruce (cameoflage) says:

Leon Arnott (l) says:
Tuesday: Artie is gradually coming to grips with exactly how little thought has been put to this mission of his. Which is to say, even less than what is normal for Helen.

I have the original of this strip, which makes me insanely happy whenever I see it. (Forgive the formatting—I had to send this from my phone.) tune: "Hernando's Hideaway," Richard Adler & Jerry Ross (The Pajama Game, 1954) I comforted the lovely miss And then, an unexpected kiss Led me to this belated bliss I AM A GOLDEN GOD OF LOVE (OLÉ!)
How long I've waited for this day The daydream in my head would play Reality makes dreams seem grey
I AM A GOLDEN GOD OF LOVE (TODAY!)
We jumped and humped and pumped and bumped and frolicked for an hour (Who would have imagined sex would be my superpower?) We traded kisses, touches, love bites, genders—even clothes (Also our precious bodily fluids, lots of those) And as we float upon a cloud of post-coital joy Look what I have! The anti-grav! Our new sex toy!
Come here, my mate, and we will sate Our lusts, until they all abate, Deflating my tumescent state
I AM A GOLDEN GOD OF LOVE (HOORAY!)
Wayne (wayne) says:
I thihk LOTR: Return of the King was technicially the date movie for my wife and I. She lived 500 miles away in the boonies (where I live now) and there are no decent movie theaters, she wanted to see it on a good screen when she came down for the weekend. It was a great first date: her dog threw up on my carpet, we went to the ren fest, and had a lot of fun. We got married 18 months later, now I live in the sticks, and she bounces a laser off the moon. And the previous two nights she has managed to lase a satellite, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, that's in a polar orbit around the moon. Life is good.
Jeremy Archey (discospawn) says:
"I killed him with awesomeness," will always be my favorite line of the Narbonic series.
Leon Arnott (l) says:
Wednesday: Dave is once again intoxicated while on the phone - but this time with the joy of entering a fruitful relationship with a person he has admired for almost half a decade. His idiotic and completely callous replies are nothing short of adorable.

Cesario VIola (cesarioviola) says:
"Don't you love life, for sending us these amazing opportunities?"
Cesario VIola (cesarioviola) says:
I feel that there should be a shirt. A shirt that says Dave's quote from panel 3. And shows a bunch of Narbonic scenes in which Artie is in peril, with Dave and Helen in the center dressed as they are now. Then I would be too broke to buy that shirt, and I would be the saddest man in the world.
John Campbell (jcampbel) says:
If we needed evidence of Artie's orientation: He considers having Mell's tongue down his throat a contraindication of having a wonderful night. Of course, he also considers facing iguana-men and falling into Pits of Death contraindications of having a wonderful night, so maybe he's just boring.
Sam Ashley (evilmidnightlurker) says:
That last line may be the single best in the series. :)
Jon Stout (brasswatchman) says:
This strip is fantastic. I will kick anyone who says otherwise. And they will explode.
Sam Ashley (evilmidnightlurker) says:
I'm beginning to wonder if maybe this is Dave's actual mad-science specialty. :)
Leon Arnott (l) says:
Thursday: The entire main cast is out of control. It's like they all got wind of their cancellation in 18 months and are now trying to make up for five years of thoroughly bungled love lives.
Ed Gedeon (eddurd) says:
If Mell is seeing Caliban, they'd be Hell-seein' days. (Silly pun dedicated to the memory of Bil Keane.)
Jon Stout (brasswatchman) says:
It's the little heart in the last panel that gets me.
So It Begins (soitbegins) says:
Bwee-hee-hee-hee.
Leon Arnott (l) says:
Friday: Until just now, it has been very hard, if not impossible, for Artie to form a sufficient expression of disgust at his best friend/artificial mother's shameful behaviour. This, it seems, is one of the few boons his human form provides in this situation.
Ed Gedeon (eddurd) says:
(TUNE: "Michael, Row The Boat Ashore", Tony Saletan)
Kay Gilbert (kaygilbert) says:
I have the original of this strip, too: "Bwee-hee-hee" may be the most genius line in all of Narbonic. It's echt Helen—evil mad science at its girliest. tune: "Monster mash," Bobby "Boris" Pickett (1962) (Again, excuse the formatting: still travelling, still posting by phone.) We were working in the lab alone one night When we realized that the time was right We were sharing har gow and duck mu shu When, suddenly, I turned to you
We shared a kiss I'd always dreamed of this And then we goinked (N.B. It isn't "boinked") We made the beast With two backs, what a feast And then some more On ceiling, bench and floor (Bwee-hee, bwee-hee, bwee-bwee-hee, bwee-hee)
So many ways to have fun The field tests have just begun Lets swap sexes and try: why Limit ourselves to one?
Lost my glasses in the nutrient-bath tanks And for anti-gravity I give thanks Now we're hanging a sign outside the door Saying "DO NOT DISTURB," then we'll goink some more
The padded walls Of Holding Cell 2B Are like the Halls Of Valhalla to me Throughout this lab We're gonna leave our mark Our naughty bits Are glowing on the dark
(Bwee-hee, bwee-bwee-hee, bwee-hee, bwee-bwee-hee . . .)
Kay Gilbert (kaygilbert) says:
Oh, poo. That should be "glowing in the dark," of course. I hate posting from my phone! And now this correction probably won't post for another 24 hours.
(confusador) says:
He's wrong, though: It takes the FOUR of them to form a nearly-functioning person. Which is probably why the punchline only got used once. No one wants to admit that about themself.
Ed Gedeon (eddurd) says:
Anoia works in mysterious ways ...
Wayne (wayne) says:
I really like my garlic press. It has very heavy, nicely contoured handles, so you can really bear down on it. And you can reverse it to clear the holes. Very nice purchase. Don't get me started on how nice my knives are! I especially love the *shwing* when I pull them out of the wood block. Is it wrong to have a strong affection to kitchen tools?
Edwin Quantrall (reynard) says:
"Is it wrong to have a strong affection to kitchen tools?" Only if your name is Albert Fish, Andrei Chikatilo, Armin Meiwes or Jeffrey Dahmer. http://listverse.com/2008/12/19/top-10-cases-of-human-cannibalism/
Pete (westrider) says:
Artie's last line here is another that I've used a number of times, sometimes altering the number of people involved to suit the circumstances, sometimes changing it to first person plural.
