Godwin just said Sweetheart lost.
Rachel S. (masamage) says:
BREAKING THE FOURTH REICH
Adam Underfoot (unnatural20) says:
I think this is closer to Reductio ad Hitlerum. The suggested logic is one of guilt by association, a classic confusion of correlation and causality, as if to say that anything that Adolf Hitler did, no one else should do, for it will obviously or eventually lead to genocide.
Diane Castle (deecee) says:
Well then, it's a good thing Hitler didn't like webcomics.
JP Chabot (speedball) says:
It's the glasses, I know, but I keep thinking, "When did Tip turn into a lion?" Also I'm curious as to what, exactly, Leo would get from this.
Louis Richards (lummer5000) says:
@Diane: He did. He just got frustrated because nobody had invented the Internet yet.
Kay Gilbert (kaygilbert) says:
Speculating here, but Leo and H.T. seem to be comrades, and if their goal is to jump-start the transgenic-rights revolution, having a human hate-group as an opponent is an effective way to rally the troops. Having a human-identified transgenic like Phil as the culprit is especially useful for discrediting the assimilationists. "Phil's so totally assimilated that he thinks he's human, and he's attacking his own kind!" What's the transgenic equivalent of an "Uncle Tom?"
Kay Gilbert (kaygilbert) says:
Oh, and Dieter, I'm still laughing at the thought of Sweetheart as Bluto. Will she end up as Senator Sweetheart?
Grant McCormick (grantcmccormick) says:
I can't spell 'Reductio.'
Jared Anderson (the_shrike) says:
@JP I keep thinking post-going-mad Dave personally. The glasses and the mane just combine to look a little like him....

Dieter M. (tangerine) says:
@Grant: You know who else made a cheap fourth-panel gag?
Uh-huh. That's right. Sweetheart.
Andrew Kunz (ampersand888) says:
Godwin....she's the gorilla biologists, right?
vicka corey (drbrain) says:
i'd guess he's doing it to boost popularity of the comic, by making it seem like he's talking about a real conspiracy.
joe dreyfuss (jdreyfuss) says:
To be fair, Sweetheart did walk right into that one. Now, if Phil's name was Patrick, I could understand her not wanting to use the much more common 'patsy,' but since it isn't she only has herself to blame for the accidental pun.
Jon Stout (brasswatchman) says:
Wait, *Leo*?
Jennifer Brock (jennibrock) says:
@Kay: "Mr. Tumnus," maybe?
Sam Ashley (evilmidnightlurker) says:
Sweetheart scares lions? Wow.
Cat Bascle (mage_cat) says:
It's not like Leo is that hard to scare. Remember, the first arc was called the Cowardly Lion for a reason.
Kay Gilbert (kaygilbert) says:
1. In Leo's webcomic, I thought it was the lions hunting and persecuting the antelope. 2. Lion #2 and Antelope got it on? Between this and goblin porn, Sweetheart seems to have very catholic tastes in erotica. 3. Leo is seven kinds of adorable in panel 4, but are all webcomic artists this pathetically easy to please?
Diane Castle (deecee) says:
@Kay: yes, ALL web artists, authors, creators, etc. are just that easy to please (as I know from personal experience). Remember when I said I really liked your filk?
JP Chabot (speedball) says:
I can confirm that I am exactly that pathetically easy to please, too.
Kay Gilbert (kaygilbert) says:
I'm a member of the Pathetically Easy to Please Club, too, unless Diane's saying she didn't really like my filk. In that case, I'm just a member of the Sad Puppy Club.
Jared Anderson (the_shrike) says:
When people look at my photographs, I'm generally absurdly happy. So I get an idea of how leo's feeling. :P
kathy xu (kathyxu33) says:
Take into consideration design and style. Lots of rings users really want a specialized glance. They gotta have <a href="http://www.pandorag.com">pandora jewelry sale</a> to protect yourself from dressed in rings this appears to be like similar to any devices to choose from. Thank heavens there are actually a strong never-ending different types from which to choose. Initially, it's a wise idea so that you can reflect on a person's identity. Will be <a href="http://www.pandorag.com/Pandora-Gold-Beads-33-741-1/">discount pandora beads</a> which you improbable enchanting? Bohemian? Flirty plus pleasurable? Or perhaps timeless?

Brian Petery (ugwump) says:
There are a number of cases where dogs have adopted lion cubs when the mother lion has rejected them. If the dog is allowed to continue nursing her puppies alongside the cubs the puppies will generally dominate the larger lions because dogs are more energetic.

D S (wulf) says:
Lion adopting antelope cub. 'nuff said (well, actually, lioness chasing antelope mother away, caring for the young antelope, but allowing the mother back to nurse, until the young antelope is killed by a liion, then repeating the process four more times, with poor results each time). http://animal.discovery.com/videos/weird-true-freaky/?smid=YTAPC-YTD-VHP
Daibhid Ceannaideach (daibhidc) says:
@Kay That was the pre-Cerebus Syndrome version of the comic, before all the miscarriages and stuff. And yes, I'm always delighted when someone says they liked my fanfic. Or read my fanfic. Or are vaguely aware I've written fanfic. @DS: See now, when humans do that, it's called "farming"...
joe dreyfuss (jdreyfuss) says:
@Dalbhid: Techniclly, that's called "ranching." Farming only applies to growing crops or raising livestock primarily for purposes other than meat, like dairy or wool. Ranching is raising livestock primarily for meat. I think ants farm too. They grow fungi for food and raise aphids for their sweet butt-milk.
Rachel Blackman (rainpacket) says:
Thanks, Joe. Without your intervention, I could have happily lived my entire life without encountering the term 'sweet butt-milk.' :P
Kay Gilbert (kaygilbert) says:
@Daibhid: I'm vaguely aware you've written fanfic!
Diane Castle (deecee) says:
@Kay: I'm crushed! You were vaguely aware Daibhid has written fanfic, and you didn't know about my writings! :-) Umm, everyone is aware that Ed has a cool webcomic of his own, right?
Kay Gilbert (kaygilbert) says:
Okay, here's the deal: those of you who have webcomics, fanfic, etc. post links. The rest of us non-creative types will read them. That way, we can all be pathetically easily pleased.

Awwww....?
John Taylor (barkingmonkey) says:
@ Jdreyfuss: So why is it called "Fishfarming" and not "Fishranching"? Also, 'Dude ranch' is DEFINITELY off my vacation plans from now on!
Ysabet Just Ysabet (theysabet) says:
Because Robert Heinlein was right when he defined the English language as 'the result of Norman men-at-arms trying to score dates with Anglo-Saxon barmaids.' English is weird and highly inconsistant.
joe dreyfuss (jdreyfuss) says:
@ John: I guess it only applies to beasts and not fish or fowl. There's no such thing as a chicken ranch after all. Except the brothel, of course. @ Rachel: Don't you feel richer now for having heard it? ;)
Prodigal (snakebitcat) says:
"You might say her approval of HT....has bombed." YEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Sam Ashley (evilmidnightlurker) says:
No one who speaks German could be an evil spambot!
Kay Gilbert (kaygilbert) says:
Laughing out loud, and helplessly, at panel 4. If only I could work "Oh, grow a mane" into real-life conversations.
JP Chabot (speedball) says:
These spam-bots are getting out of control! Anyway, "Grow a mane" is going to be my favorite euphemism for de-enmasculation now. Thank you, Jeff and Shaenon!

joe dreyfuss (jdreyfuss) says:
It almost sounds like Sweetheart doesn't care so much that the incident likely hurt Skin Horse's practical authority. Weird.
P. Ipsum (vitupera) says:
Oh, I don't know, I take it as more of a mark of Sweetheart's ethics that she focuses first on the fact that someone got taken advantage of and manipulated into being the fall guy.
Carl Fishman (carlfishman) says:
Skinhorse is a government agency! Sweetheart knows that the chance that they'll be deemed irrelevent and defunded is aproximately zero.
Andrew Kunz (ampersand888) says:
I didn't know how long it would take before you actually went to Wizard of Oz songs (next: songs from Wicked), but did you really have to go to the Lollypop Guild song?
Josh Shepherd (bergerjacques) says:
Lollipop Guild is only the single greatest song in the history of the known Universe. Kudos for the added Little People visuals that only enhanced its legend.
vicka corey (drbrain) says:
i guess getting her staff member beat up is even worse sleeping with him. poor sweetheart!
Pastangum Felinix (pastangum) says:
Well, it's not like Sweetheart could tell Leo to 'man up'.
Shaenon Garrity (shaenongarrity) says:

No, no, the expression is "a tiger by the tail," Sweetheart!
Jared Anderson (the_shrike) says:

Louis Richards (lummer5000) says:
Oh yes. Let the Herbivores play Kinectimals until they're so used to having fun with the KittyCat types that they'll never see the attack coming. Brilliant!
Ed Gedeon (eddurd) says:
Oh, great, now we're getting posts in Spammish ... (TUNE: "Brick House", The Commodores, 1977)
joe dreyfuss (jdreyfuss) says:
I know she doesn't have the strength, but based on his position in the first panel it looks like Sweetheart is dragging him by the tail and he's digging into the ground to brake himself. I'm going to have that image running through my head all day now. Hehe
Mason Kramer (masonk) says:
How do we know she doesn't have the strength, Joe? She is, after all, the product of a mad scientist. She could have strength far beyond that of ordinary dog, and just prefer not to use it because it's not ladylike.
N B (daveclone7) says:
That, and Leo's been established as kind of a wuss puss.
Prodigal (snakebitcat) says:
She ate her creator; that might imply greater jaw strength than normal for her breed.
joe dreyfuss (jdreyfuss) says:
Being a wuss doesn't make him any lighter. I don't think they ever said anything about her being extra strong when they described her engineering.
Name not found (codebracker) says:
The second picture really remindsv me of dave: same glasses, same face shape, same excuses to have good karma, they're both wusses... The only diferences are: facial harir and haircut.
Name not found (codebracker) says:
PS: and the nose, it's the main diference.
Maybe a were-dave would look similar?
Dieter M. (tangerine) says:
Doesn't sound like any real-life strip I've ever heard of penny arcade.
Shaenon Garrity (shaenongarrity) says:
I imagine Leo would look not unlike Dave if he were human. He'd definitely fall into that shaggy-geeky-guy continuum.
Jared Anderson (the_shrike) says:
...Although he hasn't accidentally blown up a building. Yet.
Jared Anderson (the_shrike) says:
You know, sometime you just have to dive at a lead in a case, and hope it makes a splash. I'd say this particular example is going....swimmingly....
Greg Mosher (noc) says:
I dunno. I think Sweetheart may have landed herself in deep water.
Jared Anderson (the_shrike) says:
Well, her approach is certainly sink-or-swim.
Adam Underfoot (unnatural20) says:
Ugh, you people and your assumptions. Frankly, you're all wet. Seriously, water you thinking?
Andrew Kunz (ampersand888) says:
Do tigers love to play with their prey?
Jared Anderson (the_shrike) says:
Someone drop the spambot in the deep end, please?

So It Begins (soitbegins) says:
I'm sorry, did she say 'undercover', 'under the covers', or 'underwater'?
Vlad Taltos (flyingfish) says:
Is it still skinny-dipping if they never wore clothes in the first place?
Tom Powell (top1950) says:
Smooth, Sweatheart, smooth.
Joyce Melton (halfelven) says:
Dogs are terrible liars. :) Love the expressiveness of the art in this one. Leo's earnest goofiness, Sweetheart's determination and transparent deception, H.T.'s smug anticipatory grin, great stuff.
Glen Ten-Eyck (justglen) says:
Woozy: Why unplug the spambot first? With luck, it could electrocute whoever is running it.
Thomas Levy (ergonomytch) says:
Just thought I'd point out Tip and Sweetheart had a cameo in Leftover Soup! http://leftoversoup.com/archive.php?num=107
