This is a fascinating glimpse into the Topsider’s lives. We haven’t seen much of that so far in the story. They may have more technology than anthros, but they’re not necessarily overflowing with resources. Or perhaps the central supply is just tightfisted when it comes to distributions.
Any speculations as to “the project’s real purpose”? Finding an alternate world where they can safely exist outside of their suits?
Pangburn: “Except for you, sir. You, they’d puncture your suit. You’d make a nice weasel, you know, because of your ability to ferret things out? Um, it’s a joke sir, get it – oh, never mind..”
Am I alone to be uneased by their “Good God” interjections ? How can they still believe in an unique God in a multiverse… Is there such thing(s) as a Multigod ?
Even with things gone to heck in a handbasket, beancounters are still an annoyance. Kind of like the earlier days of this strip, when the amount of beans caused chagrin. Although, back then, because folks were sick of them.
A reference to Edgar Pangborn? And these guys seem to be located underground, whereas previous Topsider facilities have been above ground. Neathery is really giving us a lot to think about!
Oh, my lord. I think that the boss expects that even without their bodies having been altered, they’d find their brains inside mutts or rovers. And I don’t think he’s wrong either.

Understatement. Maybe they’ll feed them to the raccoon instead.

I suppose when the audit closes in, they can escape the way Doc Amesworth did…

So is this the Topsider Underground movement?

Looks like a case for Wally and His Amazing Dittos.

I wonder if Pangburn is sweet and nutty like a millionaire.
