Kinda like how my points of reference for how you two-leggers usually think is by reading webcomic comments, nyao?

No wonder we’re both so messed up…

Well, Artie said to throw myself against the wall, and then asked me
What I’m tryin’ to do to Dave!
He’s the subject of my study (’cause I’m Milo Tinasky) …
Want to see how he’ll behave!
(Heh heh heh …)

Doing a study on mad cognition,
Publishing papers on what I find!
Dave is under my supervision,
All I’m trying to do is break his mind!

What also shouldn’t be underestimated is the “For starters”, suggesting not only that Helen is only just thinking this scenario through, but also that something slightly more ominous awaits.

That the gerbil is on her head rather than slamming her dramatically against a wall just makes it funnier.

Artie doesn’t seem to have fully apprehended a key part of the epithet “mad scientist”.

Picture a sad and potentially mad man,
His sanity cracking, his mind letting go!
At the symposium, the death and explosions
Would give me a warm fuzzy glow!

Though it’s unwise,
He’s in front of their eyes,
And I’m laughing ’cause none of them know …
Wanna know why?
Well, I just want to pri-
Vately gloat!

Helen’s really Milo Tinasky!
Helen’s really Milo Tinasky!
Helen’s really Milo Tinasky!
Oh … s**t!

Remember, this is a convention where zombie dinosaurs battle for mates, where acid’s liable to take out the first few rows of audience, where the mint on your pillow might… oh wait, did we do that bit yet?
