You know, sounds like that stuff is used as an unofficial weight-loss/body-image-altering substance, if defatting of the skin is what it sounds like (namely, removal [and presumably displacement] of subcutaneous fat).

Mm...
Subcutaneous fat is fat *beneath* the skin. That might actually be okay and nothing really to worry about.
But defattening of the skin itself (which contains a lot of fatty/oily components) is probably something altogether... not good. At all. Eck.
And yay! All horribleness aside, it did take me a little while to track down their names so I could do something other than "Hay i want those thingies from Sparkneedle with that little girl thing from Templar IN THE SAME DEALIE, WHOAH!" But! Found out a bunch of other cool stuff about the comic in the process.

Does it mean I'm a horrible person that the fact you've just made your main character poison himself is something I find really funny? I mean in the same way that I'd giggle like a lunatic while watching my Sims drown in the swimming pool or set their own houses on fire.
And "TILT." is a perfect sound effect for a dizzy person veering over.

I can't believe Ben applied the solvant without reading the warnings on the bottle. I can't believe Scip let him do that.

To be fair, stacey, Gene is laughing at him, too. And he's a nice guy, even if his dimmer switch is stuck at too low.

Scip is such a mother hen, but in a good way. Defatting of the skin sounds horrific though.
Side note: my boyfriend will be upset that I got my book today and squealed while he wasn't there. He's been wanting to hear me do that for a month now because he's convinced it's adorable.
I must now force my immediate family to read this comic.

Argh. Other people have it already?

Got my book today. Very nice. It pains my nerdiness to feel/say it, but webcomics somehow seem more 'authentic' in print.
Defatting of the skin is really not as bad as it sounds. It's a 'side effect' of most industrial degreasers. Basically nasty cracked skin which takes forever to heal if you don't wash off the offending agent quickly and get some moisturizing cream on ya.
I'm still bet that Sunny is getting toasted off trichloroethylene. It's great stuff for getting grease off of.... pretty much anything.
Ben's not suffering from oxygen deprivation tho; TCE has a anesthetic effect, similar to, but not as fun, as that of ether.
