   He’s playing it backwards…

   (Heh. Typical. He either had a poofy shirt and a violin on-hand or pulled it out of thin air – and my first thought is “backwards”.)

     It’s because it’s Mike. Mike things do not have to make sense. In this universe, Mike is the wizard. Instead of “A wizard did it”, Mike did it. With your mom.

     In both Mike’s and Mr. Willis’ defense, they *do* make left-handed violins. They’re not terribly common, mind, but they do exist.

     actually, since he was (probably) resurrected using the martian tech, it is likely that his entire body was flipped backwards. his heart is on his right side, dominant hands have switched, etc.

     I imagine he had it stored somewhere so he could make a high pitched noise during a dramatic conversation.

   From her expression in the last panel, I’d say handing her a pointy object was a bad move.

     No your not the only one. There are probably a ton of girls who looked away from their computer and said to themselves, “He’s a douche, can’t fall for his sexy strip moment.” So don’t worry.

   I honestly thought he was going to take his shirt off, go find Ethan and make him get a hard-on so that he could show Robin that Ethan was gay. My mind works in odd ways, it seems.

   At 1st, I thought Mike’s going to bring out Ethan’s you-know-what side to upset Robin till I saw him with a violin.

   this one may just prove mike WAS brought back in a resurection chaimber, they mirror you left to right, so playing a violin backwards would be normal for him now
