Also, I can’t tell if this is Trinity being a true evil opposite of Unity and preferring violence to be a last resort, or mustache guy being a true evil opposite of Tip and successfully influencing the rest of the group to adopt his values.
It may be that the effects of Trinity’s last brain-meal are wearing off.
Tip’s values include the importance of looking fabulous and goinking people as an effective social ice-breaker.
Also, favoring Therapy Puppets as a last-ditch conflict resolution strategy .
I just had an odd thought. A specialty, actually… As a kid, I watched a cartoon called “Super Bwoing”. The hero hung around an employment agency for superheroes- in the background, you’d see them making phone calls, etc. Can you imagine what the Shaenon Skin Horse Employment Agency would look like? Off camera, no one evil, H.T. playing chess with the Dane, etc. while they all wait for the call that may never come…
That was “Super 6”. Super Bwoing was an apprentice hero always begging his boss (The Super Chief) to send him out on real assignments, which he always fouled up.
While “hosers” is a very thin reed to build speculation on, I wonder if Trinity might be an amalgamation of n humans & Canadian genetically engineered war dog. Which would also answer the question of where their version of Sweetheart is.
If so, I suspect the epic Unity+Trinity fight will end with Unity skritching Trinity behind the ears.
Hmmm, you might have something there. After all, A-sig doesn’t care for non-humans, so it’s hard to imagine them having a Sweetheart analog on the payroll. Unity and Trinity, on the other hand, could be considered as machines, and I would be very surprised if Trinity doesn’t have an off-switch.
I’m beginning to suspect the whole team will have multiple mixed-up Skin Horse traits. I mean, here both Trinity and Purple-Fringe-Lady seem to be interested in psychology….
Trinity Lopez?
I don’t get it.
You must be too young.
The singer of “If I Had a Hammer.”
And here I was thinking in theological terms and early Christian schisms (one being, three beings, or both).
Could be named after the first nuclear test.
A Unity Doppleganger and loyal Anasigma agent that wants to aviod bloodshed? Well this just keeps getting weirder.
Trinity… of course, because she’s three colours. They’re not exactly overflowing with originality.
She could be made out of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
I thought maybe it means they made 3 of them.
It means they made 3 of them that we know of
I don’t know about you, but I know nothing of Duality.
I am legitimately wondering whether Trinity might be a dude. Or an It’s Complicated.
Well, we already know that Unity might be a dude… at least occasionally.
:One entire storyline’s worth of archive-diving later: …Yeah, good point.
Strange that their nose can change colors.
No of course not. O.R.I.G.I.N.A.L.I.T.Y. had to be put down.
This just makes me wonder if the third leg of this particular stool is named “Binity” or “Duity.”
That would be “Duality”, or maybe “Dichotomy”.
“Duplexity”?
Duplicity? That would be with one face on the front of their head, and another face on the back.
As far as I’m concerned, that is now canon
No, that’s January.
Janus, actually
Ms Jones has bigger… flotation devices
‘Binity’ is the equivalent term. In the early history of Christianity, some people were binitarians.
Also, I can’t tell if this is Trinity being a true evil opposite of Unity and preferring violence to be a last resort, or mustache guy being a true evil opposite of Tip and successfully influencing the rest of the group to adopt his values.
What values would that be?
Nonviolent, psychology-centric confrontation techniques.
It may be that the effects of Trinity’s last brain-meal are wearing off.
Tip’s values include the importance of looking fabulous and goinking people as an effective social ice-breaker.
Also, favoring Therapy Puppets as a last-ditch conflict resolution strategy .
I shudder to think how she’d handle playing D&D
“Did you just zap your teammate?”
“I’m a healer, he was healing, healing is my thing!”
There once was a cleric named Bing
And healing was surely his thing
At friend and at foe with mace he would go
For more pain meant more healing, he’d sing
The Unholy Trinity…

Sounds like the agency Commander Badass runs
Or maybe “Evil, Inc.”
‘Hosers’? Oh dear. This version of Unity is Canadian.
Ayup.
Oh, no. If she and Sweetheart combine their powers…
Or at least parts of this version of Unity are Canadian.
Hopefully parts of this version of U.N.I.T.Y. aren’t the A-Sig version of Sweetheart. (Talk about a close couple.)
Darn it. Trinity is SMART Unity…
I’d also like to note that, religious connotations aside? She’s ALSO named for the test site of the first nuclear bomb.
While “hosers” is a very thin reed to build speculation on, I wonder if Trinity might be an amalgamation of n humans & Canadian genetically engineered war dog. Which would also answer the question of where their version of Sweetheart is.
If so, I suspect the epic Unity+Trinity fight will end with Unity skritching Trinity behind the ears.
Another possible resolution: Unity barfs up some fraction of 40 cakes.
Unity: “Hey, you want cake? I’m kinda done with those.”
Trinity: “Half my instincts say ‘No!’, but the other half say ‘Oh, Yes!'”
Another third of my instincts say ‘rutabaga.’
Hmmm, you might have something there. After all, A-sig doesn’t care for non-humans, so it’s hard to imagine them having a Sweetheart analog on the payroll. Unity and Trinity, on the other hand, could be considered as machines, and I would be very surprised if Trinity doesn’t have an off-switch.
Look more closely. Doesn’t Trinity look strangely canine? We know Shaennon’s art is too good for that to be accidental!
I’m beginning to suspect the whole team will have multiple mixed-up Skin Horse traits. I mean, here both Trinity and Purple-Fringe-Lady seem to be interested in psychology….
Hosers?
Canadian, eh?
Ayeh, somebody already pointed that out.
AHHHHH I thought there was some sort of court order against building more soldiers like Unity!!!
Great… now I’m gonna have to go binge to find that.
But, seriously, you expect A-Sig to care about a little trifle like a court order?
“Duity?”
That *would* be a stool…
Trinity looks quite canine. Could she be both Unity and Sweetheart in this group?
T.R.I.N.I.T.Y…
Transplanted Reconfigurable Integrated Necrotic Indep…
Nah.
Trinity Really Is Nice I Tell You.
Where’s GODOT when we need him?
Unity ate him. Probably lucky for him, really.
I recall this strip saying about Unity being almost one of a kind…

Just a thought.
Practically everybody in Skin-Horse is an only child. (Nick did acquire a brother and sister but that’s another freaky circumstance.)
I’m beginning to think that these two teams are not as opposite as we would like to think.
