For discussion of the webcomic Skin Horse.

So...not half as good as Narbonic, I think. I keep reading it because it always feels like it's just about to get really good, but the combined character stagnation and lack of a strong overarching conflict keep holding it back. The only thing that seems to happen is the introduction of more and more recurring charactes. It's absolutely drowning in recurring characters, but none of them are developed enough to be compelling.

Tip puts on and takes off women's clothing. Sweetheart respects authority but has an adorable breaking point. Unity eats and wrecks shit and is a zombie. For the love of god, devellloppp sommeethingggg. Make something channnggee. This is what I know about these characters and I've known it since the first story.

That said, I hope The Mortician becomes a recurring character. They've held on to just about every character introduced, they might as well hold on to the one I like.

By the way, should we add Tip to the Agent Peacock page?

Now that's just inappropriate.

My prediction for the next comic: Tip appears in a sexy dress, saying "face it, tiger, you just hit the jackpot!"

The only webcomic where the comment secion is as good as the comic itself.

And considering Artie is a certified Super Genius and doesn't seem surprised or worried about the tiger threatening him, hard to say what happens next. Crazy prepared?

By the way, I have a legalese problem in reading the That's What She Said page. Is the trope broad enough for Artie's line to count as a variation?

Reading the SH Tropes/YMMV page I noticed that it mentioned Dave and Helen being hinted at appearing soon/being tangentially mentioned. Anyone remember that, because I sure don't.

Does anyone know which strip it was that Tip was locked in the room in case he was infected with lycanthropy, and then discovered there was no bathroom?

And so, the end of the arc is upon us. Leaving Jonah with...something. Not sure what happened there really. Either way it means that we're finally going back to the main cast.

Opinions on this arc/Theories on WTF is up with Jonah now?

That's...really weird. I know I saw a new strip this morning in my RSS feed. Seems to be a glitch in the Matrix. This is borne out by the current strip on the page having been a Monday comic.

THAT GUY.

God I hope it's the one from Lil' Mell and not just some completely unrelated-but-identically-named guy with the same hair.
