I'm 100% sure they do have exactly that.
Nobody ever goes with what BoxBot recommends.
Think of the mooks!
Maybe if his recommendations weren't just the worst...

Well I imagine not Hot Topic since it's an American only store, as far as I can tell. But somewhere that sells graphic tees clearly.
same old me
Probably should have seen this coming, but I definitely didn't in the slightest and probably never would have.

These beans are not cool! I should have seen this coming back had absolutely no idea.

Oh my word. Do I smell more angst, confusion, and possible explanation coming on?
Tom better have shown up literally a minute before Annie did. And took a weedwacker to Kat's head for some reason.
EDIT: Whoops I meant Tony.

Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.
Get heckin crabbed
Well... we gotta remember. Tony is a complex and flawed character who has fucked up a lot and is aware of it. But he got along incredibly well with Kat's dad, and while Kat was the most vicious and angry with Tony, there is no reason why they can't find something amusing in science.
Basically, Tony might actually have a good reason to be there.

Plus he's known to be really bad at personal relationships in general, and with Annie in particular.

Who overcooked my beans? These beans are absolutely flaming!

Dang, didn't see that one coming!
I am guessing the reason Tony is interested in Kat's research is either:
a)- He would be able to regain the hand he lost by replacing it with a biotech prosthetic
b)- He could bring Surma back to life by implanting her soul into a vat-grown body
c)- By the same token, he could prevent Annie from suffering the same fate as her mother
d)- All of the above?!
The fact that he is relaxed enough around Kat to joke around is probably going to mess up Annie though. I think Annie is already a bit jealous of Kat since Tony took the time to praise Kat's work when he tore into Annie for cheating a few chapters ago.

I think he feels he deserves the lost arm and has given up on reviving Surma. Option C is plausible, but there's also possibility D that he's genuinely interested in what she's working on. He is a doctor/scientist.

Tony: Oh Kat, you're the daughter I've always wanted!
Annie: 
Think of the mooks!
There's also the possibility that Kat reminds Tony of the two people closest to him that he doesn't feel guilt about (Donald and Anya). It's a lot easier for him to be around someone who reminds him of close friends that he doesn't have associated guilt with than the person who reminds him of the dear wife that he is guilt-wracked about even before you get to what he did to her.
Which isn't to say that Tony's actions are justifiable or that this won't fuck things up further. But I at least can see how this happened.

The weird part isn't Tony relaxing around Kat. The weird part is Kat relaxing around Tony.
Tony is a complex and flawed character, neither good nor evil. Merely a broken empty shell racked with guilt.
I'd argue there is some potential for redemption.
Absolutely no relation to NLK
WAT
...when did Kat get a haircut?
Finally, someone is asking the real questions here.
Last panel
indicates a timeskip.
Perhaps Tony is the colleague that Juliette mentioned?
That's what we're seeing. Knowing Tom it isn't that simple.
