I wholeheartedly agree! Forget the women with large boobs, I want kinky bisexual catgirls!

And my brother would like a harem of handsome, intelligent, long-haired gay men to play with.

Which proves that at least some of us males actually have decent taste!

(Of course, the elder Narbon was not yet a doctor at the time in question, either. She was still Master Narbon when Helen Beta was nine.)

And the way she’s tugging on his arm like a exited six-year-old makes me smile.

There is no younger Dr. Narbon.  Helen Beta isn’t a doctor, much to her shame.

Dave’s upcoming revivification, however, falls squarely under “Mad Science is Magic”, just as his current zombieism does. (And Dave still has another couple of humiliations to go though before he gets there….)

And there’s evidence that Helen Beta has not, to this point, been entirely truthful about the whys and wherefores of her genesis. It’s possible that Doc Narbon could, even then, have produced an anencephalic adult clone, but didn’t in Beta’s case, for reasons yet to be revealed. And if Doc Narbon can do it now, it’d help explain even more things, like her looking awfully spry for someone who was incinerated, diced, and hopped upon by villagers.

She could’ve done this weeks ago“. Goodness gracious bo-bacious, not this again. Dave’s been zombified for weeks now? Even though only a few days’ worth of events have transpired between then and now? I wish for an explanation!

A brainless clone… on the first occasion that cloning was mentioned in this netloadcomic, I cheered the fact that the younger Dr. N’s clonery was realistically limited to fetuses, unlike most other fictional clones. But now we’ve got Helen making an artificially adulterated* clone for Dave? That has always struck my ears as slightly too much of a science-fiction-authorial cheat, much like unidirectional artifical gravity. …But, I’m willing to buy into the notion that Mad Bio has marched on in the twenty-seven years since another Helen came into being.

* I love using this word in this context.
