After all, she [spoilers] clones Dave after he leaves; this seems similar.

Head things: 35. Helen is practically melting with shame here.

I can almost hear Helen delivering these line matter-of-factly.Wait…is “matter-of-factly” even a word? Phrase?

It’s the anti-“Power Girl boob window.”

Helen’s tiny mouth and lack of eye contact is quite good at conveying her tone of voice here.

I don’t have anything to add except that I forgot to mark the 50th Silent Penultimate Panel yesterday. It seems I only marked that milestone… with silence.

Meh, meh … melodious!  Melodious!
Meh, meh … melodious!

Helen, listen to me …
You’ve been at work for a year!
Stand there, looking gloomy …
Why are you keeping Dave here?
Look, we’re getting nowhere!
No use to stand about,
At you I’m shouting!
Staring blankly through me …
You have succeeded, you fear!

Look for a cure now,
And you say you’ve found it!
You say you’re sure now,
There’s no two ways around it!
You’ve got a potion, and madness it’s destroying!
With my emotions, are you simply toying?
Are you enjoying the sound?
(Meh, meh … melodious?)

Helen, do you hear me?
Right there, standing near me,
Quietly at work, you turn away …

Now my shape I’m shifting!
Now your hair I’m lifting!
Now you’re taking heed of what I’m say-ing …

Dave’s become a danger!
Ev’ry day, he’s acting stranger
Than before!
Madness breaking out!
So here’s a warning I will shout,
You can’t ignore!

I verbally attack now!
Your hair is blowing back now!
A faceful of alfalfa breath, a small saliva shower!
Helen, hear me shouting!
You respond by pouting …
“Someone’s learning to misuse his su-per-power!”
