I think that would just result in her sarcasm-detection skills becoming even worse. Was it ever stated whether the personality of the person whose brain she eats affects her?
Punc-tu-a-tion saves the day!
Punc-tu-a-tion, hip hooray!
There’s attacking by the zombie gang …
An exclamation, that’s ending with a bang!
So with some commas, and some hypens too,
We’ll make it clear just what we construe!
We got some Punc-tu-a-tion …
We’ll eat some brains until we’re full, stop!
We got some Punc-tu-a-tion …
We’ll slash the zombie horde ’til they drop!
We saddle up, then we roll on;
We’ll use a cute … semi-colon!
Punc-tu-ate our sen-tence struc-ture now!
And how!
I notice that in the first panel, Unity has successfully misinterpreted her note to herself, and is trying to find this person named “Danger” that K.T. is presumably stuck inside.
Everything’s better with punctuation!
also puncture and punctuality, anything with the word punch in it.
It’s more punchy that way.
So, eating brains temporarily turns Unity into a Forensic Linguist?
I figured that’s what would happen if she ate part of a colon.
That’s pun-ctuation, it’s a little different.
If she ate part of a colon, wouldn’t that be a semi-colon?
Or Sergeant Colon’s brain.
I think that would just result in her sarcasm-detection skills becoming even worse. Was it ever stated whether the personality of the person whose brain she eats affects her?
Carrot’s the one with the really bad sense of sarcasm. But Colon’s pretty dumb.
Remember when Vetinari started talking to Colon in the Fifth Elephant? Yeah, I think that counts as bad, if not horrible.
Called it.
…
Yay, UNITY, FORENSIC CORPSE!
I know where I came from, but where did all you zombies come from?
Who let in the professional Unwed Mother?
Rah, rah, R. A. H.
So, let’s see:
Zombie Attack!
Zombie! Attack!
Zombie, Attack!
Zombie-Attack!
Zombie? Attack!
Zombie. Attack!
Zombie… Attack!
Zombie: Attack!
Zombie; Attack!
They all work! (Well, the last three are a bit of a reach, but I’mma count them)
You for got the ones wherein attack is followed by a question mark.
Zombie attack?
etc.
Also:
zombie ⇒ attack
So, we’ve got an attack zombie, attacking a zombie attack, from a zombie?
The attack zombie is attacking the zombie attack for the zombie. The attack zombie is defending the zombie from the zombie attack.
How many zombies could an attack zombie attack if an attack zombie could attack zombies?
Unity’s back to normal abnormal, I see.
I like that thing Unity’s hair does in the last panel
(TUNE: “Celebration”, Kool & The Gang)
Punc-tu-a-tion saves the day!
Punc-tu-a-tion, hip hooray!
There’s attacking by the zombie gang …
An exclamation, that’s ending with a bang!
So with some commas, and some hypens too,
We’ll make it clear just what we construe!
We got some
Punc-tu-a-tion …
We’ll eat some brains until we’re full, stop!
We got some

We saddle up, then we roll on;
We’ll use a cute … semi-colon!
Punc-tu-ate our sen-tence struc-ture now!
And how!
Damn it, Ed. Now I’ll be hearing this all day! (Interrobang, Ampersand, Whatever you call that upside-down exclamation point, broken bar.)
Too bad you’re not old enough to have contributed to Schoolhouse Rock!
Compare:
Let’s eat grandma!
Let’s eat, grandma!
Proper punctuation saves lives!
Meanwhile, it’s alleged that a teacher once wrote on their blackboard the phrase…
A woman without her man is nothing
…and asked their students to punctuate it. According to the story, all the boys wrote…
A woman, without her man, is nothing.
…while all the girls wrote…
A woman: without her, man is nothing.
I notice that in the first panel, Unity has successfully misinterpreted her note to herself, and is trying to find this person named “Danger” that K.T. is presumably stuck inside.
I thought “Danger” was an internet handle used by a turgid politician, not a zombie swallowing creature.
UNITY: [swinging a hyphen] I dunno, reckon I could do more damage with a backslash or summat.
Who’s on first?
And is he a zombie?
I’m just gonna point out that Unity looks boss in a tangtop.
I would’ve liked something with a deeper neck line, but seconded.
