*TSSH*
I just love how she’s just flying aroudn in Ultra Car. Thats gotta be fun.
Hell yeah.
Sidney seriously needs to get impeached.
Couldn’t Shortpacked do one of those things where it becomes serious for a moment and inform the congress that Sidney led what could be seen as a terrorist group?
could?
What if Robin went on another Cadbury Cereal coma?
How is she so calm? I’d be like “Wheee!” Flying car!
She’s known ultra-car for years. It’s kinda old-hat for her by now.
UC could serve cake! Then it would never get boring.
UC is a PIE car.
Doesn’t really affect the validity of the statement.
He could serve Boston Creme Pie- that’s sort of like cake.
Robin is dressed as a congresswoman, flying in a talking car and having an intelligent conversation.
The strangest part is that THIS is the comic that makes me step back and say, “Woah, this is a weird comic!” But, in a good way, I think.
All that’s missing to make it less weird is for Singularikitty to fall out of her mouth.
Would she be a better or worse politician if she got over her need to impress everyone?
My first thought on seeing this wasn’t “AWESOME ULTRA-CAR FLYING!!!” It was, “Wow, this is really cleanly drawn.”
And yet, I’d noticed Robin’s right hand.
And here *I* thought the most common job for ex-Congressmen of low standards was lobbyist. What cause do you think would try to hire Robin as a lobbyist?
Big Sugar, definitely.
Mars, Inc, the company that makes Skittles.
Robin and ultracar should start a delivery service.
Ultracar is usefull for the obvious reasons, and robin can superspeed down hallways and corridors Ultracar can’t fit in.
Of course, since it’s Ultacar and Robin, hijinks would ensue.
Sorry, fan fiction moment.
Fan Fiction? You probably just came up with Willis’ next comic.
Shadows of LAWsome… *dun dun duuuuun*
He could have the idea if he wanted it.
Ultracar seems to have trouble getting the necessary clearances to fly. I assume that would become a problem again when he’s not hauling a congresswoman around.
(Although, seriously I’m not sure what the issue is, It shouldn’t be too hard to stay out of controlled airspace. They’re not living in NYC!)
Don’t block my fanwank with technicalities.
we dont get enough flyin ultracar, he’s half the reason i stuck around.
and i assume this is how she got to work, when ever they did work… lazy lobsters.
Finally, a member of congress who takes care of her own transportation.
Robin probably doesn’t pay enough attention to know she could fly around using taxpayer money.
I though she just ran cross country to DC. The Flashes run around the planet all the time.
Would radio commentator be a step up or a step down?
Regular DJ, Shock Jock, Right Wing Conspiracy Nut, Or Nascar Commentator?
Well, it’s not like she wouldn’t be good at the job. She knows just about as much about things as they do. And she could get a book deal out of it too.
We need a Ultra Car toy that can convert to flight mode. Flying Ultra Car looks awesome.
Do you think that Takara would make an Ultra Car Transformer? Willis has given them a fair amount of money over the years.
arent there like, knock-off toy companies? couldnt he aks one of them to try their hand at it?
“Old enough to run for Senate”? I didn’t know Robin was 30. Huh.
It’d be impossible for her not to be, considering you have to be 25 to be in the House, and she’s been in the House for at least 5 years.
Wait, this comic is limited to what’s possible now?
While the rules obviously don’t matter, none of us can resist time. Not even the comic characters of SP!
She could start her own political party: the tea baggeeerrrr… wait, they already exist.
Possible jobs for Robin now that she is out of congress:
Dancing with the Stars contestant
American Idol Judge
Nike spokeswoman
Circus geek / sword swallower
Ooh, she could dance circles around Fred the Slime Mold.
She could always start the Jack Daniels party. Already has more credibility than the Coffee party.
Did Ultracar get upgrades? He looks fancier than I remember in flight mode.
Apparently.
He did go visit Joe recently.
Another career move for Robin: The State Department. All of a sudden dozens of Ambassadors and Consuls are going to be on the chopping block because of the WikiCables. I expect she’ll easily find an overseas post that she could work with.
…
Are those Thrust’s wings?
Oh my god!
Robin can fly?
DW:
I really like those drawings of Ultra Car in flight, particularly the first one! Most of the time, in comics, people would probably just draw a blank sky, but you’ve got the ground in there, and it looks terrific. Points for the contrails, as well!
GAWD this gave me a huge nostalgia trip. Mainly due to this –> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hh11NDMHVl0
Wow, this scene just looks awesome.
Can Ultra Car be a transformer? Pretty please?
