    Wait, how does Tip know that the butter didn’t survive the ruin of the building? o_O

      He doesn’t, but he’s using psychology to get Unity outta there.

      Maybe he’s just assuming there’s not enough butter. That, and he really doesn’t want to see Unity eat that thing.

        If she was to take a big bite in her current configuration, where would it end up?

        No one needs to see that.

      Isn’t it usually melted butter? You’d need a functional stove and a really large bowl if you wanted to dip it, for starters.

      Unless you keep it chilled, butter will turn on you real fast.

      I’ll get the butter if someone else brings the dipping vats and some way to melt it.

    Does Sweetheart’s expense account cover this? Or, ’cause it’s the Skin-Horse cafeteria, do they get their meals free?

    Where I work, if an entree were to attack a guest, we’d comp ’em.

      You assume the restaurant staff could see what was happening?

        In the alternative of guests disliking an entree so much that they physically attack it, we’d still comp ’em. :)

          Not that I wouldn’t comp a guest, regardless of their complaint (and I’ve comped guests meals for some pretty ridiculous complaints), they didn’t actually complain about their meal to the restaurant staff. And since it’s uncertain what — if anything — the staff could see, there’s no reason to simply assume they should be comped.

            Well, at the very least, Niue could claim the lobster was a bit under cooked.

    The lobster bib made it all even butter.

    As the staff didn’t see that they saved their lives they are billing them for the damages, if it wasn’t for the sense-blindness to the odd around them they would be the heroes of the day.

      Given how weird the cause was, do the staff even see the destruction? Maybe they won’t notice it until they come in the next day.

        That was kinda my thinking above when I said it’s uncertain what – if anything – the staff could see. The blindness seems to affect each person differently, based on their own baseline for what is “normal”.

    How is Unity talking without her lungs?

      We went over that a couple days ago. It’d be easier to just go back to it than to try and recreate the discussion.

    So, I guess she really enjoyed her date.

      Yeah, but it would be impossible to top that. Of course, I would never say that in front of Unity, or she’d actually try.

    Butter with shellfish? I prefer mayonnaise myself.

      For me, it depends on the dish. Sometimes I like butter, sometimes cocktail sauce, and sometimes tartar sauce. And sometimes no sauce at all.

    Wait, feather-head doesn’t mind that her head-less crush actually has a head?
    Feel sorry for Sweetheart: first she had to contend with Captain Bubbles for Unity’s affections, now she is going to have to deal with a bird-brain :(

      I’m waiting for the moment that Unity plops her head down on her neck and Niue screams, “Haaaat!”

    Well, they might have some butter, but it might be the bitter butter. So, they would have to find some better butter to make the bitter butter better.

      But that could be a problem if the cook’s name isn’t Betty…

        Bitter butter is OK straight, but at its absolute best when take a little bit of a gamble with it as a baking ingredient. … I guess I just like being a bitter butter batter bettor better.

    Nice radioactive glow on the crustacean! And great unity poses!

      I love that her hand turns her head in whatever direction she wants to look. I guess that makes sense, but it’s still cool.

    Actually, as Unity is kinda a revived zombie, I’m not sure how she could make any “life” choices…

      Well, Unity herself (that is, the black goop that actually is Unity) could technically be considered “alive”, and I seem to recall reading that her brain is alive as well (although I can’t remember where I read that), even though the body parts she animates certainly are not.

    I make a peanut sauce that is crazy great with lobster.

      We could have a taste off! Melted butter, melted butter with garlic, Thermidor, Newberg, and your peanut sauce!

      I guess we’re all going to Shaenon’s place for the feast.

    That was supposed to be a response to Wood.

    And Unity’s victory takes place off panel. Did she manage to cut the lobster up with the machete? Did she crush its skull, using her own head as a an instrument of pounding? Did she find that really big nut cracker? We may never know (or at least won’t until the Extra Large with Bonus Materials and Shiny Foil Covers Yet dead tree edition is released.)

    And yes, that is an awesome pose in the first panel.

    There are dimorphic lobsters that may fit Unity’s palate better.

      Huh. Clicking past the image search page to the article reveals it’s called “bilateral gynandromorphy”, and it’s not just the colour that’s split: one side’s male, the other female. Fascinating.

    If I didn’t know better I’d say that that wait person was please with the floor show.

    U.N.I.T.Y. wreaked unbridled havoc, leaving the restaurant in tatters, while Sweetheart got stuck with the bill. Sounds like their usual nights out, really.
