Strip by: danw

Jon: Would you go out with me, Kimmy?
Messenger Six: Don't do it Jon! There's something strange about her.
Kimmy: That would be nice!
Jon: Great!
Messenger Six: We Sixes have a cat-like sense about these things.
Jon: We'll do dinner.
Messenger Six: Plus, she's making a pile of clay eyebrows.

The author writes:

While watching Battlestar Galactica, I noticed that even though no one except Baltar can hear the Number Six in his head, no one ever talks over her either. If you were to edit her out to create the scenes from everyone else's perspective, you'd end up with some really odd pacing and strange pauses in the conversation... sort of like Garfield Minus Garfield.

Original strip: 1990-11-24.
