You have my deepest sympathies, truly. I skipped my last two high school reunions because I was too busy coming up with effective schemes to conquer the world, before realizing that if I _did_ successfully conquer the world, I would then have to _run_ it… Talk about discouragement!

And no, I’ve never been able to enslave those who bullied me in high school either. Maybe we should all get together and plot evil as a group. Even if nothing else came of it, we’d have a lot of fun coming up with insane evil schemes as a group–or else we’d all create one amazing webcomic!

(To the tune of She’s Always a Woman to Me)
He can debug a script
He can kill an AI
He can keep you in school
By supporting your lie
And he wants his car back,
And his genitals, please,
He may be a geek but
Dave now is a woman, you see.

Well I do. It’s the fourth panel that really sells it, with the Good Shoulder Angel advocating nuclear destruction and Helen’s pupils going different sizes to show how deranged she really is.

You never explicitly explained it in the comic, but I always suspected the true source of Madness in the Narboniverse has to do with the Shoulder Angels.
