Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!

Doc Chevy is super interested in Frix's Tissue Recombobulator. Her powers accelerate the body's natural repair mechanisms, but she's become about 8x more effective with her abilities since she got her doctorate. She's trained as a trauma surgeon, but her specialty is in Regenerative Medicine. She actually does very little surgery, using it only to supplement her normal healing powers. Like, she'll cut out shrapnel or remove tissue that's been so damaged that trying to repair it would take more effort than regenerating it, like 4th degree burns, or tissue destroyed by acid, leaving the victim looking like the guy from Robocop after he fell in that vat of industrial waste, or like Toht (the nazi guy from Raiders of the Lost Ark who got the medallion burned into his hand) halfway through his Ark face melting scene. 

But grilling Frix about how the Recombobulator works could give her a lot of ideas on how to better leverage her abilities. Even if she can't create a virtualized cellular substrate to pre-viz the new tissue matrix before creating proto-stem cells. There's also a button on it that filters out technobabble, labeled "Fix Owie." It's next to the "Kiss it Better" switch and the "Boo-boo go bye-bye" lever. 

I'm torn if I should call attention to Anvil's shirt. It might be too subtle, and if I don't mention it, no one will go "Hmm..." But if I don't and one guy does figure it out, then he'll be all "I'm the guy! I got it!" And he'll be king of the nerds all day. So this is me not mentioning it, for that guy's sake.

That's the hex code of that shirt's colour isn't it? That's pretty clever

Dan Jones

That's an exact shade of purple.

Martin Croft

I'm surprised to see Max peeking. Anvil sure, but I see Max as more the "I don't want to know" type

Twister

It's the color code for the purple in her shirt. I was wondering if it might also be her proportions, but "122, 49, 199" doesn't seem like Anvil.

Michael Obert

Puppy love is just the sweetest. Also, loving Max's hair in today's strip; just seems so much freer and bed-heady.

Wyrmhand

I had no clue what her shirt meant, until I read the comments ^_^

Hmmmm.......Mutual Groin Manipulation Pact, that sounds like a very wonderful pact, and one that you're going to be very limited on how many you can have at a time before getting into trouble.

Ember Kent

At first I thought it was the Eggplant Emoji base color, but then I wondered… Is that the same shade as Max’s hair?

Greg Morrow

Love the peak-around-the-corner shot -- Max is tall, but Anvil is _that much taller_. And Max's expression trying to see through Anvil's hair is perfect.

Ilana Writes

Anvil’s purple shirt is labelled purple. Cute.

Magraal

Frix's dopey grin here makes him a more likable character imo. Makes him feel more 'human' as it were.

Jay Maynard

Is Anvil missing her body in panel 5?

Dan Merget

BOOBIES (Or, more accurately, 8008135.)

martin leske

i never really noticed but... in the "standby modus" do the orbs rotate around her head? or kinda stay at the same spot

Mike

West coast Nazis? Are they anything like Illinois Nazis? I hate Illinois Nazis.

Eric Loken

I first tried a hex converter for the separate pairs, but the numbers made no sense. So I converted the entire sequence... and groaned.

Max has her "internal LOL" expression in panel 7. Note the Spock eyebrow.
