    I love that the one who doesn’t wear clothes is trying to implement a dress code…

      Now I’m wondering what her name is. Silver Age comics would call her Anit-Unity. Strife and Discord are already taken… D.I.S.U.N.I.T.Y.? More likely something like Shirley.

        Synergy? Parity? Necessity? Unity Prime (You ruined it! You ruined everything!)?

    You almost got it, unity. Just take your head off and put it back on backwards!

      He’ll probably wear Skully’s power suit.

      Now I’m thinking of a Sunday post from way back in the archives. It was blue. It had Unity, Sweetheart, Tip, & Mustachio. Tip was wearing a pseudo-victorian number. (http://skin-horse.com/comic/02242008/)

    Since “our” Unity made it back to us today, I hope it’s “our” Sweetheart with her here. Let Unity use a clip-on.

      I don’t think this is “our” Unity, or “our” Sweetheart. Note the poison is still pink, and “our” Unity didn’t poison the swamp, she burned it down with her favorite flamethrower.

        Oh, you mean in the last panel. Ok, I see it now. Never mind…

    I just re-read the “Choose” storyline recently, so the Zombie Emperor’s….. *choice* of words feels mighty significant.

    Okay, it took me a few minutes to realize that last panel was our universe U.N.I.T.Y., rather than the mirror universe counterpart. The backwards suit should have been a clue. Wonder how the two shall meet later?

    By the way, my vote for the mirror universe character is I.N.D.E.P., with an expansion later as I think of it.

      Well, the mirror universe one did name Unity in a text to her dumb self…

    Does the Emperor have some sort of alternate-universe viewing ability, or at least knowledge of alternate universes? What he says in the third panel doesn’t entirely make sense if he doesn’t…of course, he may just be crazy. 🙁

    Sweetheart seems to be really getting into being an employee of an evil secret government.

    To “Lucy in the sky with diamonds” by the Beatles:

    Finding yourself way deep down in a sewer,
    With plenty of zombified swamp plants inside,
    You find somebody, the Emperor Norton,
    He’s holding a pink herbicide.

    Slim coated walls and sludge filled with liquid,
    It’s looming right over your head,
    Ask about the girl with some brains on her mind,
    But she’s dead.

    (Chorus)

    Lucid in the swamp with poison,
    Lucid in the swamp with poison,
    Lucid in the swamp with poison,
    Aaahhhh…

    Heading on down to the sewer venting system,
    The plant zombies rampage, so the swamp needs to die,
    The Emperor Norton waxes philosophic,
    He might shed a tear if he had eyes.

    Visions of other selves float through his mind,
    There must be some other way,
    In a different dimension a lacking of brains,
    saves the day.

    (Repeat chorus)

    Watching yourself as you’re pushing the button,
    Is it the right choice, will the others ask why?
    Meanwhile elsewhere, in another dimension,
    The other you’s tied up in ties.

    (Repeat chorus)

    Shouldn’t she be a ZiP? Zombie in Piebald? o_O

    “a” MiB? Not “an” MiB?

    Is it pronounced “mib” or “em-aye-bee”?

    I’ve been pronouncing it the latter way this whole time.

      The grammar rules I was taught by a Jesuit:

      Write “a” before a consonant; write “an” before a vowel.
      Say “an” before a vowel-sound, say “a” before a consonant-sound.

      examples:
      Write “a honor,” say “an ‘onor.”
      Write “an union,” say “a (y)union.”
