[spoilers]

Dave speaks in that curlicue script font when he mentions his “creative” side… which hasn’t been seen in years.

You know… if I had to choose whether mad science aligns more with Spock or with McCoy, despite the whole ‘science’ angle, it’s really more the McCoy…

What if … Ed is GODOT (of Skin Horse) in another medium? (Or vice versa?) Does one hear his fliks, even though there is nothing around that should be making those sounds?

Agree that Helen is hot

But don’t want to die

Now I think about it, it’s kind of a weird one to like.  Maybe because I love the good sprite’s “logic” and the idea that personality sprites can overhear each other.

Good side, evil side, they both agree!
See her?  They concur, deadly to me!
You’ve been dead before, not a fun ride!
It’s no metaphor, it’s suicide!

Danger!  What a thrill!
What if she won’t?  And what if she will?

Hey, look to the right!  Shaenon has drawn
Helen’s shoulder sprites, urging her on!
See her evil side, looking to rut!
Good says, “Go outside!”  (Check out her butt!)

Do it!  You clueless nerd!
You can’t believe … the thngs we just heard!

Episodes with sprites: 16. Helen’s voice of Good has perchance also been reading that management strategy tome of hers.

(I don’t know what it means when you see both of the shoulder angels extolling the person to do something that we all know is most definitely not going to happen. Some other force… some other angel must be overriding their decisions. I guess it’s Apathy. Who, of course, never bothers to manifest at all.)
