(TUNE: “I’ve Grown Accustomed To Her Face”, Lerner & Loewe)
I recognize you with the hat!
You’ve come to battle with GODOT!
You stroll in boldly, without fear,
A pencil in each ear!
You may … be nuts,
But you’ve … got guts!
So now, you take your turn at bat;
Your only weapon, your chapeau!
I will admit you wear it well, with such panache and such elan,
Although, if you should lose it, it speaks poorly of your plan!
The time is overdue for that
Apocalyptic chat,
So hold on … to your … hat!
So, weird problem. When I read Skin Horse on my phone, it’s fine. When I try to read it on my computer, I get this error:

Except my phone is crappy and won’t load the whole site, so I can’t find the right email and….help!
It probably doesn’t match the song perfectly, but I think it works allright.
To the tune of “Cats in the Cradle” by Harry Chapin:
Our hero’s arrived just the other day,
Start investigating in the usual way.
But then they all learned, to their dismay,
About a crazy plan to cause doomsday.
And Sweetheart ordered decisively,
“Go and get ’em Unity! Just the usual, Unity!”
And the hat’s on the zombie in the darkened room,
Unity’s out to prevent nuclear doom.
GODOT sees through the hat that she’s stylin.
Says “Is it alright if we begin? Do you mind if we begin?”
Anasigma team arrived the other day,
Violet kissed Lee, though she’s totes not gay.
And so Lee and Violet, and Sergio,
All try to find a way to get to GODOT.
But they have to stop a zombie apocalypse,
So Lee makes her machine go “plip”
Yeah, she makes a bunch of brains go “plip”
Apart from the comic, I’m amused that the two filks for this one both used GODOT as a rhyme, and used both commonly accepted pronunciations for it, too.
And things get more surreal.
I’m betting somehow they will figure out a proper acronym for U.N.I.T.Y and all will be well.
Yes, a proper acronym. Possibly one involving a hat.
and maybe “sammiches” – other than mustard – do we know of any preference on Unity’s part?
Head cheese?
Very doable, so long as you don’t insist on it being a good acronym. Undead Neurophagic Integrated Terror … Yowza!

Same happens to me. Just hit F5 until it works.
The order of language and logic against U.N.I.T.Y.’s chaos. At least she has a few brains in her to make it a semi-fair fight.
She’s got empathy and emotion on her side too – altho that admittedly could be a subset of chaos as far as an AI is concerned.
I’m diggin’ the color/spatial inversion between panels 1&2.
And Skin Horse is in the door first – they win!
Except they found out ages ago that the “contest” was just a B.S. excuse to avoid admitting that they’d lost control of the situation.

Welcome to the Dark Side of The For…*ahem!* The Filk. Cookies are on the table.
Apart from the comic, I’m amused that the two filks for this one both used GODOT as a rhyme, and used both commonly accepted pronunciations for it, too.
Wait, when did she get a hat?
