#plus between the lice goon running up with the 'discovery' about zims skin

Okay, but one of the best things about Lice is the sheer amount of mutual pettiness it showcases between Zim and Dib for an episode that doesn't have them saying even a single word to each other

#zim laughs at dibs expense one (1) time#and then dib gets to spend the entire rest of the episode reveling in his agony#and honestly I can't even hold it against him given it's usually him who ends episodes in such uh#catastrophically unfortunate situations#enjoy it while it lasts buddy it'll be you again next week#sidenote anyone ever think about how thoroughly this experience must've cemented zims convictions#about falling victim to horrible experiments the moment hes caught#the humans were allowed to discover *one* thing different about him#and immediately set about painfully exploiting it#plus between the lice goon running up with the 'discovery' about zims skin#and his uncharacteristic placidity#I kind of take it as implied that there WAS more experimentation between the 'my superior skin' scene and lice queen#oh and another sidenote#how do you think dib felt about being doused in his alien nemesis's liquefied skin#do you think he got home later like “SHIT I SHOULDVE TAKEN SAMPLES”
