Formerly male, Agent Anderson ran afoul of a "distraction" from Jeanie, and has since been stuck as "Anne Anderson". She's currently assigned to the Orlando office of DHS.
May have been. Rodger probably has a security clearance, and this sexy babe suddenly turns up out of nowhere and starts talking aerospace engineering with him?
Considering how Neil reacted to Jeanie’s body (and considering he got closure when Araceli wore it), am somewhat disappointed in Rodge (who obviously doesn’t prefer blondes). Then again, Natalie made it quite clear that he would never get any from her, I don’t think anyone can blame him for seeking solance elsewhere.
Though I wonder why the DoHS haven’t arrested Natalie earlier when she was out and about on her own.
Ok, clearly the spooks looked up “Natelie” in their database and found out that her ID was fake, since there is no passport, social security number, driver’s license, or federal security clearance for her. The real question is what made the spooks curious enough to bother checking in the first place? What first made them suspicious? They don’t exactly audit EVERYBODY who attends these conventions.
They are storing them, but they don’t have the manpower to listen to what’s said in them, at least not until computer voice comprehension software gets advanced enough to fully automate it. Given the number of calls Americans make, about two percent of the whole population would have to be employed just to listen to all of the calls unless you have a way of throwing out the worthless ones beforehand.
They don’t HAVE to listen to all of them…the very fact that “Natalie” got flagged would be enough for them to pinpoint the phone conversation they wanted.
No, actually, Rodge is in the clutches of a spy who wants to get secrets out of him while the DoHS checks out Natalie.
Jean will eventually (Eeeeevvvveveeennntttttuuuaaaalllllyyyy) show up and turn Sunglasses1 and Sunglasses2 into girls (why not) and Natalie will get away.
Oh,No. All of the paranormal activity around Jean, Neil, and Rog, as well as having a Hyper-dimensional space in Jean apartment, has attracted the attention of Bureau 13, and the SCP foundation…..
Pipe cleanser??? What is that doing at a conference for aerospace engineers? Sounds more like a civil engineering issue. Or she really is a spy, and the HLS guys will be in deep for arresting the wrong girl–i.e., Natalie/Neil.
Make $60,000 a month by sell government secrets for the comfort of your own home, wait! If you call in the next ten minutes, we will double your order, operators are standing by.
It may nothing; but the booth sign behind the girl says “..Gic Clo…Cleanser.” That and the fact the girl winked at Rodge makes me think it might be Arceli.
It’s plausible.
The DoHS would inevitably come across Araceli’s undeliverable bottle and check if it contains a dirty bomb or pipe bomb or sarin gas or anthrax or salmonella or pork. (Now that I have your attention, can you confirm or deny? If not, just say so.)
Welp. That’s definitely not where I expected this to go.
Also, at the risk of becoming “That Guy”, did I just get the first comment? That never happens.
Weird.
You became that guy. Please, please don’t be that guy.
Called it, sorta.
I anti-called it.
I was sure newspaper guy was watching Roge.

Looks like rodge is back to not paying attention now that he knows the truth. Bit it looks like neil has bigger problems.

Rodge never regained the use of his three invisible fingers. He was destined to remain a right-y, forever.
In the last panel his fingers TURNED TO WOOD!!!!!
I wonder if I should just claim to be intentionally leaving these art errors in, just to get this fun color commentary.
oh my god! WHEN THE F**K DID THAT GUY GET SUNGLASSES!!?!?!!?!?!!?!?!
Right when they decided to move in for apprehension.
No sunglasses, merely observing, sunglasses, we mean business.
You’ve cracked their code, you should watch your back for awhile.

Not to mention that the NSA is storing ALL phone conversations…they probably just got done reviewing the recordings from the previous strip.

Hey, it’s agents Ben and Jerry From “The Inexplicable Adventures Of Bob”!
The firm he/she works for focuses mostly on NASA projects so of course the government is going to keep tabs on who’s who.
Looks like they finally finished reading that newspaper.
Hey it was probably a VERY interesting issue.
Gosh, nothing like a Totally Stupid Agency arc to inject a bit of hilarity into the story….
“Ma’am, you don’t exist. You will have to be deleted.”
Why did we let the Cybermen take over that department, anyway?
Because the daleks were on vacation.
Oh, YEAH. This isn’t going to go well at ALL.
“Ma’am,” huh? I guess they…don’t know about things…
The shit’s about to hit the fan. How is Jeanie going to help/save Neil?
And also, I didn’t see this coming, so good writing. Keep me guessing!
…..Meanwhile, Roger is in the clutches of a vicious booth-babe, with a spray-on tan, hawking cleaner……

Jean will eventually (Eeeeevvvveveeennntttttuuuaaaalllllyyyy) show up and turn Sunglasses1 and Sunglasses2 into girls (why not) and Natalie will get away.
A booth babe that likes to clean pipes. LOL
Uh-oh. That was a government shark.
Oh,No. All of the paranormal activity around Jean, Neil, and Rog, as well as having a Hyper-dimensional space in Jean apartment, has attracted the attention of Bureau 13, and the SCP foundation…..
Hmmm, the SCP vs Bureau 13 vs Jean, a reality bender. An interesting fight.
My money is on the SCP foundation. Multinational, lots of paranormal…resources…
I look forward to see Nealie wearing a nice pair of handcuffs behind her back
fast forward…you’re sentenced to 1 year in a women’s prison

Heh. I thought you were a spammer for a second.
That just pop into my head as I read the cartoon.
It may nothing; but the booth sign behind the girl says “..Gic Clo…Cleanser.” That and the fact the girl winked at Rodge makes me think it might be Arceli.
Arceli is working for the government!? Clearly that girl is just part of the set-up to distract Rodger and separate the two.
It’s plausible.

“Magic Clog Cleanser?” Interesting.
I can hear the interrogation now; “You want the truth? You can’t handle the truth . . .”
One thought, did the spell change Neil’s fingerprints too? If you work for the government, your fingerprints will be on file.
