Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!

I realize I'm doubling down on the "Digit is a maniac" joke here. I think the next time we see her it should be in the field, but given her general lack concern about "those wiggly things with the faces" that keep getting transected by her inventions, there would need to be some guidelines about what doodads she'd be allowed to take out with her.

To be fair to Digit, when she was out vigilante-ing, she generally favored more... uh, cartoony gadgets, like bolo launchers and glue goo guns and caltrops - though her idea of caltrops were little pointy drones that actively chased down people and stabbed their feet. She also had the impact resistant inflatable jumpsuit, good against punches and unplanned base jumps. Then there were the sproingy boots. Not great for jumping so much as they were for running a bit faster. She really only got into the "things that launch deadly barbed things" recently, and her boss has been trying to steer her away from that category and into something less dangerous, like unlicensed nuclear particle accelerators. Actually, they can probably get licences for that kind of stuff there.

Prinrin is a cameo character from Patreon, but even though this is her second appearance, she hasn't really had a moment yet. It'll come. As Spider-Man once said, "Everybody gets one." Well, at least one. Once someone shows up in the comic they tend to appear as I need them. Hmm, I should revisit some of the cameos that made it into the early battle at the restaurant.

I honestly have no idea what movie. I keep thinking of an episode of SG1.

Evil Midnight Lurker

When a goblin engineer says you're a maniac, it -means- something.

Alenil

That would totally useless outside.

Tannerbot

Sheesh... no open casket for the guy on the right...

Magraal

Crotch Goblin.... (Seriously. Look at that first panel.)

Hydrnaros

Those poor poor mooks... i mean soldiers.. i mean mooks....

Prinrin is a cameo? That's a shame, I was hoping we might get a pinup of her sometime. I love the petite ladies, and cute goblin girls are great! Nitrine from Flaky Pastry is another fave.

Peabody

Can't they see how to prevent Digit's harpoon mishaps? It's so obvious, have her do her work in a room with no windows. Duh.

Michael Obert

"Okay, you and you, go down to the gadgeteering lab and get whoever's down there. What's the worst that could happen? Why do you guys look sick . . ."

Marc Vun Kannon

Maybe there can be a monthly special with Digit testing a compound to dissolve armor and it works on everything clothing-related. "It'll totally dissolve every kind of armor but the stuff our guys wear, honest. Let me show you."

Jack Ponder

I'm sure those two guys are fine....ish?

Beechwood Chip

I'm guessing that Digit's lethal contraptions are intended to be utilitarian: cleaners, stabilizers, air conditioners. When she sets out to make a weapon it's hilariously non-fatal. Like a stun grenade that just follows you around saying, "Please stop - we need to talk!"

Nematrec

I imagine the reason we only see her working on deadly inventions is that she's usually working on non-lethal stuff which is also usually irrelevant to the story.

Ampws

Blink! Blink! I just seen the image. Poor grunts, maybe they shouldn't have worn their red shirt underwear today. Movie reference?? totally confused.

Edward Eade II

Love the Mythbusters crates in the back ground. (Must have added some significant drawing time)

LucasTheLost

BB-8 from the recent starters trilogy! At one point it's on a ship getting rattled around and stabilizes itself by shooting a bunch of (magnetic?) Tethers into the walls/ceiling/floor.

Foradain

Now I have to go on another archive binge to locate Prinrin's first appearance...

Tim Malmström

Holy crap! Forget what movies *inspired* it! How the heck do you avoid TRIGGERING IT??!!!

Jay

there is far too little blood and gore. With the speed those harpoons were traveling to get through the glass and armor, those dudes should be pink mist for about a foot around the impact zones Dave. Are you squeamish?

Eric Loken

That's gonna leave a mark...

BJ

This is why you never sneak up on a tinker while they're working.

Lee T Boswell

Somehow I had a mental image that Digit wasn't quite that busty. And the action actually reminded me of an old Stargate SG1 episode, where the alien artifact sends out prongs and gets O'Neill.

Ashley Tattersall

So she is a sociopath?? Two guys just died and she gives barely a 'opps'?? Why do they trust her with anything shaper than a rubber band?

eddi_TBH

For those who missed her first appearance, blowing more holes through that window, she is Dave's tribute to Gadget Hackwrench.

Opus the Poet

I just want to know where all that chain is stored because the volume of the launcher isn't enough to contain one of those chains much less seven of them.

Hurley

Yes, but it's actually the realm of the Hellraiser...

Manuel Vasquez

I hope we do see more of her. She reminds me of Gadget from Rescue Rangers

Alexander D

Lol, I never made that connection before :p But you are totally right. Both wear/use googles like a headband. Both create crazy gadgets. Both wear c/overalls. Only difference is that Digit seems a bit ditzy at times and Gadgets gadgets were never meant to kill someone :p
