Technically, Todd, if she gets to choose who she is, Doctor Terrorhammer is still on the table.
Ending this arc a bit melancholy. Next storyline starts next week.
Oh and also, I’ve been convinced to implement tags on the comics to make archive diving and looking up old plot points easier. Work in progress, but I will try to tag new comics with the characters inside them going forward, and I’ve got the first 15 strips tagged as well so far. There’s almost 400 of the dang things, you know. XD
And as a bonus, here is a quick rough copy-paste extra comic.
See you Monday.
Every time I see a red pickup truck, I think of Smallfoot from the Go-Bots.
Selkie strikes me as someone who whould have a deep appreciation for Doctor Horrible’s Sing Along Blog.
would*
Oh My God Yes! Except for that “The Hammer is my penis.” Line.
She’s a fourth grader. She’d appreciate that line more than any other in the movie. 🙂
Looks just like him, but a Selkie version:) Dr. Horrible I mean. LOVE that movie!!!
Why do I get the feeling that her name might be a plot point – over and above the obvious. Maybe that’s how Pohl figured out she was Jin’Sorai, when he heard Agent Brown give her proper name. For her safety maybe she SHOULD stay “Selkie” … at least for now.
Very good points.
My hunch is that her periwinkle coloration was the first clue, but it was inconclusive because there are other clans that look similar to her.
I wonder if De’Madiea is also a clan name?
GLEE HEE HEE HEE indeed!
My thoughts precisely!
“Glee-hee-hee-hee” is quite possibly the best sound effect in the history of comics, except perhaps “Somewhat-more-disgruntled-ethereal-chanting!” But it’s okay, we can’t all be Ursula Vernon.
Also, commendations on your tagging of the archives. I had been wishing for something like that.
Yeah I didn’t know how to do it on the old system, and on the new one I’ve just been, well… LAZY. XD
i normally don’t do comments, but seriously you just made me cry D: selkies face at panel 5…….. looks so good! and sad =( keep up the good work here! I follow this comic every update <3
Thanks. 🙂
She came up with “Doctor Terrorhammer” a little too quickly…
Remember, she has plans to be a mad scientist. https://selkiecomic.com/comic/selkie189/
I feel so proud of Dave, seeing how much his art has developed over the course of the comic. Go, Dave!
:3 Thanks!
I suspect this is going to turn out to be a situation where she’s called one thing at home and another in public. She would hardly be the first.
Agree. That’s the way I would do it if Tarnagh proves to be right.
Todd is kind of rude for making his parents sit in the back while his 8 year old sits in the front.
But she called shotgun!
Oh, come on. That’s not the kind of relationship they have. He didn’t “make” them sit there. If you were a grandparent you’d know — it’s a lot easier to talk with a grandkid who’s sitting in front of you, than having to turn around. Old backs don’t twist that well!
The only other reasonable seating arrangement would be to have her sitting in the back between them. I expect if she’d still been feeling really sick that’s what they’d have done. But she’s on the mend, and doing it that way would have left Todd all by himself in the front, feeling out of it and a bit like a chauffeur. This is by far the friendliest arrangement.
Agreed.
The choice of seating is one of those weird social things where I feel that there is a proper order that I just don’t know how to cue in on. But there are many reasonable arrangements. Besides, you can’t put both parents in the front (unless one is driving), so maybe it’s as simple as them wanting to sit next to each other.
Me, I prefer sitting behind other people. Even back in college… you know that saying that people who get good grades sit in the front and people who get poor grades sit in the back? I’m the utter exception. I maintained a 3.91 GPA yet chose the back of every class because I hate having people look at my back or what I’m writing/drawing. I don’t know why I feel this way but I’ve felt like it for years.
“RRRKTKT?”
aRRR-K-TeKT, I think.
Maybe “TKLILI” would do…
When I was in Illinois, I saw a car that had nothing but V’s and W’s on the plate. It looked like a neat way to confuse people.
Was it a Bug?
Or from West Virginia?
Neither. It was a white Sedan from Illinois.

Nice to see a fellow Go-Bots fan! (Or at least someone who remembers them!) Been reading for a long time, but finally felt the urge to comment! 🙂
Doctor Terrorhammer, Foe of Mankind does have a nice ring to it….
I remember them! It was a LOOOONG time ago, tho.
http://www.NeiLicomic.com just doesn’t have the same ring.
Considering that she may be hunted down due to her clan, Selkie might be the safest option.
A thought just struck me: Selkie looks awfully like a Jaegermonster (from Girl Genius, if you haven’t read it). Perhaps a mad science name isn’t that far off…
Well she IS learning German…
VE HUNT!
Having a “Von” in there wouldn’t hurt either. Doctor Von Terrorhammer
‘Doktor Selkie von Schreckenhammer’ would sound definitvely intriguing in German.
Even though I’m pretty excited about the whole Doctor Pohl / background story arc going on.. you know what two things I’m honestly just as curious about?
1) What’s going to happen with Todd and Mina..
I mean, they were almost about to go on a date.. then, blam.
2) Andi / Amanda situation. Hmmmm
Love her skull-like looks in panel 5.
