And I’m pretty sure the minivan thing is just a gambit in the parent–child power struggle. Madblood wants to arrive by suborbital cannon shot, because that’s much cooler, but acquiring the minivan is also a win for him, and children doing stuff with cannons is something mothers might be naturally inclined to prevent.

NOW she has decided it’s almost time to give some _other_ more interesting input to Dave- awe-inspiring steamy shower sights. She’s priming his sexual side which she’ll activate later. Bonus points that she likes him and thinks he’s cute while she’s doing it. Who SAYS you can’t combine business and pleasure? Like all humans, she might be a little bit irrationally concerned that she doesn’t look like some kind of shower goddess through that door. (Which is silly since she looks exactly like one.)

She’s got her “cute” personality filter out front right now. Maybe to be not too intimidating. Maybe to protect herself a little bit. She is mad, and maybe it helps the ruse that she’s just mad and scatterbrained and couldn’t possibly be expected to remember ALL the little details like standing nearly-naked in front of her henchmen.

She’s giving Dave an eyeful on purpose though. “Here’s what’s waiting for you when you’re ready.”

Plus I think she likes to remind Dave on some level of what he would be giving up by even THINKING that Lovelace, or any other mad scientist’s henchman or any other woman, could ever compete with her. “Oh, careless me! The towel slipped! But of course you don’t care about that, because Lovelace is your snuggle-boo now! Well then, I guess there’s no need to bend over and pick it up then, since you have eyes only for Lovelace from here on out…But I guess I will anyway. Tum tee tum tum… <3”

I choose to believe the above happened and is canon and the cartoonist just never got around to rendering it. But I’ll never know since the mirrors my hidden cameras were behind (and Dave’s glasses) steamed over right about this point.
