    He was wearing insufferable hipster glasses before they were cool!

      Aren’t those the exact same glasses he already had on?

        Glasses are never hip when you need them to see.

        That’s kinda the point – Unity is making fun of his glasses, and he is defending them.

          Is he defending them from the charge of being insufferable hipster glasses or from the charge of not being insufferable hipster glasses?

        They’re not the same, just really close. Sergio’s lenses are rectangles, while Unity’s are closer to semicircles.

          It also looks like his are half-frames, while hers are full.

    Hipster Unity. My mind is mixed on it being awesome or wanting to explode.

      Mine did both,
      It was somewhat painful though oddly enjoyable

    Maybe they should check what happened to St. Charlie as long as they’re in Boston. Lotsa cool parts there, possibly.

      That was probably the joke

        Oh man, St Charlie was bad enough BEFORE the mad science broke down.

    I take it there’s no Ikeas in Brighton

      The Mass Ikea is in Stoughton.

    Also, is he doing something werid with his arm, or is what I think is his thumb jsut a strand of Unity’s hair?

      Unforced art error: looks like it is drawn as if a left hand, though it is on his right arm.

        Or he’s pointing with his Pinkey?

          Either little sleeves for coffee beans or coffee filters.

        Huh. If it were Unity, that wouldn’t be an error.

      The perspective on the hand is a bit weird, but I believe Sergio is pointing at his glasses as he is defending them.

    What’s the point of the coffee sleeves..?

    • darkstarling
      September 17, 2015, 10:04 am | # | Reply

      To make coffee of course! And to filter the vodka. And to make cheese. They’re really useful actually.

      What are ‘coffee sleeves’? o_O

          Little cardboard cup cozies so you don’t burn your fingers.

        I believe they’re the little cardboard sleeves that some coffee shops put on to-go cups. Either for protection from the heat, or so they can get cheap generic cups and still get their name on them.

      It just might be the most subtle Tuckerization I’ve ever had.

      Okay, probably not. But I’m going to clutch the idea close to me for egotistical comfort.

    Put glasses on Unity and she turns into William F. Buckley…

    Is this a sign that insufferable hipsters were among the first against the wall when the apocalypse came or that they survived, thus requiring a new and much more thorough apocalypse.

      We haven’t seen any obvious insufferable hipsters in this alt-verse yet, so I suspect the former rather than the latter.

        Other than Sergio, of course, who isn’t from there.

    Sergio’s left hand is at the end of his right arm.

    Huh.

    (Stern parent voice) Unity? What did you do?

    • darkstarling

      “Muffing.”
      “Unity, open your mouth. Unity, why do you have a needle and thread in your mouth?”
      “…Brunch?”

    What? No comments about bow-ties or fezzes?

    The portal parts are literally going to be underground, aren’t they?

    Start digging, team.

      Yes.

    So are those trade goods or what? Unless she’s a mad scientist who can create an optical pump using those, I don’t see a reason to keep a bunch of them in a bag.

    Then again, I shouldn’t rule anything out, given the setting . . .
