I don’t understand Dave’s hesitation, this must be one of the best (dis)organizations a programmer can work for. I’d take the job in a jiffy.

[As to my qualifications, I can make C++ look difficult without a book, my daughter claims I’m evil (being 12 and female makes her an expert on the subject) but, alas, I don’t smoke]

Apropos of nothing in particular, this strip keeps reminding me of Bloom County (now with added mad scientists!)

Frame of Helen with good and evil sides - cuteness factor off the charts.

Sprites! I've been calling them Pixies all along. :-)

"No, Helen! Only maim him! Break his kneecaps!" coming from the good side remains one of my favorite bits.

Extra trivial trivia: When Narbonics Labs was shoddily-but-lovingly recreated for the Ditch Day stack in a campus basement, it boasted dripping pipes, vermin, and a wet, muddy underground tunnel. This was not our doing.

It works the same way Helen would make anything else work. "Dave, you're playing first base, second base, third base, right field, left field, center field, and shortstop. Mell will be pitching, and I'll catch."

"But what about batting? What do we do if the bases are loaded?"

"Oh, you'll be hitting nothing but home runs. I've got a vat of sulfuric acid waiting for you if you don't." (evil smile)

It is EVIL softball.

I always thought evil softball was how mad geniuses socialized. It doesn’t have to be the three of them; I’m sure Lupin Madblood would play on Helen’s team.

Maybe she provided him with Mountain Dew storage space in the break room fridge? It's the only other vice I can think of that would tempt him that way.
