Thursday having connection problems. Probably due to a severe storm that is nearby. If you can see this, then apparently this thread exists.

It should become self aware shortly and try to hunt you all down and...be your friend.

Uh. All these years and I've never made that connection with Aylee's name. Is this really the first time it's been brought up? If so, I really must have spaced out on it. I'm a little dumbstruck, but also feel sort of stupid.

As much as this feels like an odd time for a filler arc with barely more than a year of the comic left to go, Aylee and Kiki have gotten very little on panel time over the last few years, and I'm glad this arc is remedying that. I'm especially enjoying all the Kiki humor.

The Alien connection has been there from the start: http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/weekly/980112. Actually, Pete had to tone it down to avoid problems (see http://sluggy.wikia.com/wiki/Aylee).

Yes, that took me a while too! But then I wrote about it in the reactions forum to help others. Still I suspected there must be those who didn't realize the origin of the name.

We knew she was an alien from the start. But the comic never mentions that her name comes from the word alien. It only has Torg say Aylee, and then Riff ask how "Aylee" is doing. The quotation marks are the closest to a hint the viewers are given.

Pete did not have to tone down Aylee being an alien. He just changed the form she had to avoid potential copyright complaints.

Oh, Kiki. Such a plucky little ferret.

I wonder what Mook's planning to do back there.

Huh, that's interesting. Ayleen is a term for the "perfect woman". Meanwhile that also sounds like "alien". This guy went from wanting to murder to thoughtful. If Mr. McNinja stops being an jerk and lets Aylee go, I can see them getting together eventually. This guy would make a good asset for the anti-HC team. He has very useful skills. Here's hoping that he's not stupid enough to try to sell her to a company for vivisection or something.
