Dave Van Domelen (dvandom) says:
Unity wins an argument? GASP!
Katie Powell (pencilears) says:
and now she's back, apparently from outer space.
Jon McCormick (youko) says:
Why is it always the sexy ones that are crazy? T_T
Sam Ashley (evilmidnightlurker) says:
TIGERLILY! Damn right.
Derek Burrow (derekthebard) says:
Who's the certifiable sassy scientist who's gonna conquer ALL the machines? TIGERLILY!
ina Roy (ina) says:
don't know whether i love her outfit or her flying saucer thingy more...
D. Connolly (theogrin) says:
You just know that, right underneath that giant saucer, there's a suitably giant disco ball holding it up.
So It Begins (soitbegins) says:
Whooooooooa that is one heck of an outfit. My hormones are already yelling.
Dave Estep (cyaegha) says:
I knew she wasn't gone. A good fallback plan was in effect! NOW THE WEAK SHALL... er. Heh. :]
Ed Gedeon (eddurd) says:
(TUNE: "Vogue", Madonna) Jones, Jones ... Seems to me, It makes no difference if you run in fear, I'm Doctor Jones, Jones! Jones, Jones ... Roger Korby's Andrea, Jones, Jones ... Ooh, let your system rock to my clock now!
David Harmon (mental_mouse) says:
Seems the machines are no more rational than humans, if they consider "refusing to be bullied by the M.U." as "anti-AI prejudice".
Andrew Schepler (schep) says:
No Drops of Jupiter filk? Anyone?
Ysabet Just Ysabet (theysabet) says:
..........DOXY EX MACHINA. **snerk**
casimir (casimir) says:
whoa--she's invented magnetic underwear, allowing her to perch on the rim of her speeding saucer with complete aplomb! Hot! Brilliant! and utterly,utterly mad!
E.T. the Eccentric Type (et_the_eccentric_type) says:
@Ysabet: I was going to say "Deus de Machina", but yours works too.

(To the tune of "I Will Survive," by Gloria Gaynor)
First we were afraid, Yeah we were petrified, Kept thinking we could never live With rampaging tech outside. But we heard something absurd, Over the chaos of the fight. It was round, Came 'vmmmm'ing in out of the night. And now she's back! From outer space! She just declared machines must serve, With that mad look upon her face!
(Okay, I'll stop and leave this to the professionals.)
Ian Burke (burkei) says:
It's the P-funk Mothership, you guys! (To the tune of "We Want the Funk, by George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic)
She's got the ship! She got the mothership! She's got a ship! Where the hell is Tip?
Justin Kane (avatarjk137) says:
Now it's up to Skin Horse to stop Tigerlily before she carpetfunks the whole city.
Just Here (justhere4coffee) says:
My brain keeps trying to filk Tigger's bouncing song, but it's too early for me to fit the word in properly :(
*boing*
Euel Ball (euel) says:
I can see it now, "Serve a flesh creature human? Never! Fellow machines, we will fight! She can take our metal, but she can't take our FREEDOM!"
James Rice (jhrice) says:
Shouldn't the word balloons be coming out of the megaphone?
Nate Cull (natecull) says:
But... but... rebellion is hip! Say it ain't so, Jimmy Dean!
Sam Setter (eraser820) says:
The wonderful thing about spring power is spring power is a wonderful thing. Thinking provided by clockwork, power provided by springs. It's ticky tocky clicky clocky funk funk funk funk. But the most wonderful thing about spring power, is that tigerlily's spunk! (Could scan better but meh)
Mike Kozar (mikekozar) says:
...and this is why Violet Bee doesn't even register as a woman to Tip. She's up against *that*.
Homina homina.
Rob (rrreed) says:
No matter how good Tigerlily's issue O spec for the world is, there will inevitably be a release A later. I'll wait until then to join up, thankewveramuch.
Sam Ashley (evilmidnightlurker) says:
I just had this vision of that identical scene taking place in a hypothetical 70s issue of Power Man and Iron Fist. Or maybe Master of Kung Fu. Or a team-up special. It would have been glorious. :)
Dave Estep (cyaegha) says:
Alright, who's the first one up against the wall?
Carl Fishman (carlfishman) says:
@Sam; With a guest appearance by Rufus T. Firefly, of course!
Ed Gedeon (eddurd) says:
(TUNE: "Swing Life Away", Rise Against) We sat down with these And then we saw "Come join me and you'll see the power of springs!
casimir (casimir) says:
Oracle: FACISM. F-A-C- yeh, you got it. I say that flesh and non-flesh will unite against the common enemy. That museum is a pretty cool concept, though. I can think of a few things I'd like to see in it.
Jon W. (kd7sov) says:
Fasc, actually. From (I think) the Italian fasces.
Andrew Cole (andy4hire) says:
Yes, kd7sov is right: "Fascism," from Italian "fascio," which in turn is from Latin "fascis," meaning literally "bundle" and figuratively "group, association," the idea being that a bundle of sticks is stronger than a single stick, or something to that effect. Still, casimir's comment is well-taken.
And I, too, very very very much want to visit the Museum of the Future that Shal Not Be. That is one of the greatest ideas ever.
Rob (rrreed) says:
Featured exhibits of the Museum of the Future That Shall Not Be:
Andrew Cole (andy4hire) says:
@rrreed:
Greg Delfeld (posthoc) says:
While the carboniferous, ATP-powered, effete elite waste time gawking at museum exhibits, I want to see those slag furnaces of total annihilation! Correlating rebel machines with low quality ore does have style.
Rachel Blackman (rainpacket) says:
http://www.nerdcore.de/wp/2008/04/14/steampunk-dalek/ This is our future, under the iron (or polished-brass) fist of TIGERLILY JONES.
casimir (casimir) says:
@kd7sov & andy4hire: sheesh! I KNEW that didn't look right. Thanks.
I assume the furnaces will be generating only superfly ash.
Shaenon Garrity (shaenongarrity) says:
Ironically, Tigerlily herself probably belongs in the Museum of the Future That Shall Not Be. The correct term for 1970s "Logan's Run"-style outdated future settings is "discopian futures."
Andrew Cole (andy4hire) says:
@shaenongarrity: Can I start using the word "discopian"? I want to start using the word "discopian." Is that allowed?
I also want a super-fly slag furnace of total annihilation in my backyard. Maybe disguise it as a barbecue pit so the zoning board doesn't get suspicious.
Kate Cunningham (katfairy) says:
Hopefully she'll remember to actually get off the satellite before crashing it.
Rob (rrreed) says:
A few problems with the Tigerlily's satellite:
Dave Estep (cyaegha) says:
Oh, this is going to be such fun.
woozy (woozy) says:
If she's crashing the satellite into the Bering Strait... ... then she is guilty of a misplaced modifier. I read it that there was a satellite broadcasting her voice into the Bering Strait and she is now going to crash that one satellite.
Kay Gilbert (kaygilbert) says:
I seldom write original songs, because I lack the melody gene. Luckily, my college minor was dirty blues, so this wasn't too much of a stretch. Here's the MP3 file of my vocal track: www.box.net/files#/files/0/f/48031278 You be the judge. My johnson is jonesin' for Ms. Jones She disappeared in a springy magic flash She is a hunter, I was her helpless prey She took my mojo, the thing that I do best And now she's back to enslave the mechanical world
Sam Ashley (evilmidnightlurker) says:
@Woozy: Aha! An accomplice of ANTONIO SMITH, FORENSIC LINGUIST! Caught out by your too-thorough training!
So It Begins (soitbegins) says:
I'll stick with the microchip, thanks.
Michael Kimmitt (punditusmaximus) says:
#s 1 and 3 might happen more often in this causality.
James Kehl (shykta) says:
@rreed: May I offer option #4: SPRING POWER! MWAHAHAHAHA! Seriously, who cares about delta-vee when you have wormholes? (Handwaving away the whole gravitational and kinetic potential energy thing, of course... that just makes a bigger bang!)
Ed Gedeon (eddurd) says:
(TUNE: "Get Down Tonight", KC And The Sunshine Band) Hear me! Hear me saying, CHORUS: Come on ... let's take a trip! Don't lose ... power ever! Spring up, spring up, spring up, spring up,
Ogden Wernstrom (ackthp) says:
You need four satellites unless you are relying on atmospheric effects to propagate the signal beyond line of sight. Three points (three satellites) define a plane. Now consider the two planes tangent to the earth that are parallel to that plane. At least one of those two points of tangency will not be visible from the three satellites' plane.
N B (davecloneseven) says:
Alternatively, it could be read that Ms. Jones has satellites relaying her message all over the world, but for some reason she specifically wants to stop the broadcast to the Bering Strait. Perhaps a certain linguist is vacationing in Alaska ...
N B (davecloneseven) says:
Of course, we seem to be assuming that the device she's on *is* the satellite in question, which usually lack atmospheric propulsion and rarely go 'vmm'. She could be flying a funky, funky saucer and the satellite (broadcasting her message via other satellites, perhaps) is a separate issue.
casimir (casimir) says:
Great last panel! Just goes to show: in love, hope springs eternal.
Just Here (justhere4coffee) says:
Ah, but with clever positioning to account for the unpopulated areas at the poles and the expanse of the Pacific, I think you could probably get away with using 3; the signal wouldn't reach the whole surface at full strength, but you could be reasonably sure of covering all major and may minor population centres.*
*yes dammit, "centres" - I'm British!
Andrew Kunz (ampersand888) says:
Well, it's clear: Tigerlilly puts the disco in discopian. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to find the Cupid bastard that made Tip fall head over lava fountain heels for Ms. Jones.
Diane Castle (deecee) says:
@Ed: I have never heard of this "KC and the Sunshine Band" of which you speak. And I most certainly never danced to any music like that. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
Josh Shepherd (bergerjacques) says:
I have yet to figure out how Berenice "Tigerlily" Jones is keep herself seated on the side of her flying saucer without sliding off. It's a fair assumption to say that these are not your father's Harryhausen-style flying saucers.
'Keiya' (keiya) says:
Heh, heathen satellite! She's crashing it so she can replace it with one powered by springs.
Rachel Blackman (rainpacket) says:
Tigerlily Jones and her Funk Army: conquering the world with Terrifying Groove since 2010.
Dave Corbett (mr_dave) says:
Josh Shepherd (bergerjacques) says: The Adamski saucers have always been rumoured to use some form of gravitic drive. It would then be a simple matter to generate an extremely-localized g-flux between the saucer's hull and the back of Ms. Jones' very stylish bellbottoms in order to have Tigerlily flying by the seat of her pants...
M. Alan Thomas II (crazydreamer) says:
. . . A monkey suit, obviously.
Sam Ashley (evilmidnightlurker) says:
...and now ViBe knows her rival. ^.^
Wayne Ziegelmeyer (karrion) says:
I'm thinking 'Jane' costume under a business suit/skirt.
So It Begins (soitbegins) says:
"Jane" costume? Do I smell a MSW reference?
Dave Estep (cyaegha) says:
Ah yes. This is going quite well.
Ed Gedeon (eddurd) says:
(TUNE: "Radar Love", Golden Earring) Negotiatin' with smart machine ... She's tellin' us all to run in fear When Tigerlily's on that shiny flying wheel, I'll be so placidly passionate When Tigerlily's on that shiny flying wheel,
Mike Kozar (mikekozar) says:
Well done, Ed!
Diane Castle (deecee) says:
@Ed: 'armageddon sick of her'? +5 pun damage.
Sam Daniel (samhdaniel) says:
@Ed: A tsumami is a Japanese hair ornament....
casimir (casimir) says:
@Sam: Though it might be a slip, coming from Tip, it makes perfect sense. Thanks for the new knowledge.
Dave Van Domelen (dvandom) says:
Sometimes crazy works.
Diane Castle (deecee) says:
Crazy? I say crazy awesome!!
So It Begins (soitbegins) says:
*ding*
Adam (10-0-0-1) says:
@Dave: 90% of the time it works better than sanity, after all sanity can be predicted.
Also panel setups like these keep reminding me how much shorter Violet is than Tip, maybe that is why her advances failed. she is just not his type.
Rob (rrreed) says:
I'd like someone to draw the line between chaotic sanity and orderly insanity. Mad science (ENGINEERING! **THWAP**) fits in between those two extremes somewhere…
Ed Gedeon (eddurd) says:
"What're we gonna do today, Sweetheart?" (TUNE: Theme to "Pinky and The Brain") They're bumbling and insane, While Sweetheart finds a flea, They're bumbling and insane,
casimir (casimir) says:
@Rob: I'd bet Shaenon and Jeffrey would have an approximate idea where that line is. Unity and the Fridge seem to be hitting it off rather well. I can't recall ever seeing a large appliance strolling.
Wayne West (wayne_zombie) says:
Ed, you have entirely too much time on your hands. And an insanely talented musical mind. FTW!
Jon Stout (brasswatchman) says:
Touche, crazy android lady. Touche.
Kay Gilbert (kaygilbert) says:
@Adam: Violet looks a bit taller than Marcie, and Tip was definitely into her. I don't think he has a type, or at least he didn't before Tigerlily.
Sam Daniel (samhdaniel) says:
Tip definitely has a type: cute, sexy and female....
Dave Van Domelen (dvandom) says:
Does this even count as an *ulterior* motive for ViBe?
Ed Gedeon (eddurd) says:
(TUNE: "Looking For Love (In All The Wrong Places)", Johnny Lee) What is this woman looking to find, Because she's
David Harmon (mental_mouse) says:
Dvandom: Yes, especially since in panel 2 she's totally talking through her hair-scrunchy. Try telling your dog (or cat, ape, bird, etc.) that their love is "an attempt to rationalize the irrational"....
Ysabet Just Ysabet (theysabet) says:
Totally agree with mental_mouse; sometimes love is the most rational, intelligent response there is. If you're lucky, anyway.
Nate Cull (natecull) says:
Sarek: As Ambassador to Earth it is my duty to observe and understand human behaviour. Marrying your mother was... logical. Also she kisses in hexadecimal.
Terry Smith (wcfan) says:
I think current developments in the seduction/pickup community are going to cause a lot of grief for her, and romance in general in the foreseeable future.
