perhaps someday, Tripp will learn to keep his mouth SHUT.
I wonder if pissed off, Tripp could punch Poe, even as a ghost.
Tripp: “Thank you, Captain Obvious.”
It would be frustrating to know that smacking him isn’t even an option.
That would be frustrating.
However, there are other ways to torment Poe. For example, Tripp could intentionally mangle English and freely misuse words like “literally” just to get a reaction out of him.
True.
D’oh!
Oops.
Wouldn’t surprise me if Tripp went back to proxy to be petty
Being petty has never been so enjoyable.
I can’t get very good reception up here on the moon, but I think Coco’s still pissed.
Yep.
Wait, wait, wait… How can a self-professed “Secret Agent” be Space-Time’s “Man of the Year”? That’s a complete oxymoron! That’d be like someone in Witness Relocation getting a job as a news anchor-person! And now that I think about it, Tripp did not get a good look at his “badge”… (It was obscured by his hand.) Wait… A real secret agent would not have a badge! His existence as a government agent is supposed to be a SECRET.
Watch out Tripp! I have a feeling the guy’s about to steal away Coco… literally.
Oh, wait… Coco can hulk out and kill whoever tries to kidnap her now. And she’s pretty darn lethal without the extra bulk, too. In fact, Vic may be in some danger because he doesn’t… Yeah… never mind.
He didn’t say he was Space-Time’s Man Of The Year FOR being a Secret Agent.
I noticed you didn’t deny my other concerns…
You may have a point. But wouldn’t it be problematic for a secret agent to be all stealthy and do stuff secretly – like sneak into a facility – if he’s some huge galactic celebrity that anybody would recognize? And if he became a celebrity before he applied for the job, I think they would have chosen someone else… assuming the folks in that particular government agency are competent, that is.
Oh, wait… He’s a space alien. And he most likely has state-of-the-art holographic disguises. Well… okay, that might work.
Famous people make the best spies.
Oh, I get it. The likes of Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan (et al) make the best secret agents.
BTW: Vic’s handsome looks must be part of the gag, also. This (from wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Bond_filmography#Pierce_Brosnan:_1995.E2.80.932004 ) is part of what I mean:
” John G. Stackhouse for instance argues that it is preposterous that any man as strikingly handsome as Brosnan and Connery could be a secret agent, saying, ‘When Sean Connery or Pierce Brosnan enters a room, everyone notices. Thus it is ridiculous to suppose that James Bond, looking like that, could be a secret agent for longer than about two seconds’. ”
For his sake, let’s just hope Agent Secret is not as sexist or misogynist as James Bond, else Coco might try to rearrange something.
He’s not sexist, he just LOVES women.
Vic is kinda like Zapp Brannigan’s slightly more intelligent brother.
Far more intelligent brother.
ouch. that even hurt my feelings a lil, but tripp did “screw” up…drugged or not…well more drugged lol. He def needs to work on his situational awareness too. That last slide totally did not help his predicament at all.
I’d say you’ve hit on Tripp’s biggest weakness… Situational awareness.
So that’s where Superman reallly came from.
Could be.
The masque of the red dress.
She looks good in red, doesn’t she?
Being built like Jessica Rabbit doesn’t hurt either.
Yep.
We’re not bad, we’re just drawn that way.
That’s what all my characters would probably say, that they are drawn badly.
