Considering that a bear or tiger or whatever is apparently “pulling my own strength”, and taking into account the number of heavy objects that he’s survived, I think Bullwinkle might actually be capable of surviving a fight with Unity for a few seconds, at least.
Actually, the Marathi word for the critter comes out as “mungus,” with a long U in the second syllable.
Mungo is the first half of the name of a one-hit-wonder rock group.
SPOILER:
Uncle Shelby is actually two vampire mongooses.
you forgot “giant”
Well, THAT would just be *ridiculous!*
We’ll compromise. One normal-sized vampire mongoose in the head of the Uncle Shelby costume, and one giant mongoose* in the body.
*Giant mongoose may or may not be vampiric.
There’s no way two giant vampire mongoose could fit inside a trechcoat
Nope– obviously it’s a bunch of vampire HAMSTERS inside a trenchcoat.
Any other universe, I’d think you were kidding . . .
Oh god, it’s the hamsters all over again. At least they (hopefully) didn’t bring Laputa along with them this time.
Shelby Cobra ………. oi
Actually, he’s based on Shel Silverstein.
Maybe its the Slither Dee?
And now I have it firmly fixed inside my head that he’s related to Cobra Bubbles (you know, from Lilo & Stitch.)

Had to google that. Have we known Shelby’s first name before? (Actually what is his last name?)
Silvers, I think?
“SHF”?! Star Trek-style starship door sound effect?
I thoight shelby just has a SHE- sound efect whenever he arrives

Virginia seems to be obeying those instincts that say “Head for the dark cellar!” You know, when you’re in the creepy house and there’s a scary noise.
So what, you think they should split up?
*mongeese
One goose, two geese.
One mongoose, two mongeese.
One moose, two meese.
And now you know :p
One mongoose, one mongoose and also another mongoose.
One mongoose. Two polygoose.
Two digoose. Three polygoose.
Ancient Greek does have a dual number, after all.
It disturbs me a bit to realize that Rocky And Bullwinkle could theoretically be canon with Skin Horse.
“Hey, Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit out of this hat!”
“RAWR!”
“Gee, that’s not a rabbit! That’s a bioengineered nanite-based gestalt organism animating a patchwork of corpse parts!”
“While Bullwinkle tries to remove Unity from his hand, here’s a word from our sponsors!”
Considering that a bear or tiger or whatever is apparently “pulling my own strength”, and taking into account the number of heavy objects that he’s survived, I think Bullwinkle might actually be capable of surviving a fight with Unity for a few seconds, at least.
I *heard* that last, in The Voice!
Unity would never attack Bullwinkle- it is established canon (“Goof Gas”) that he has no brain!
Disturbs? Cream rises, after all.
…but it’s “two mouses,” pronounced like “houses” and “Scouses”. People always get that wrong.
One mouse, two mice.
One louse, two lice.
One spouse, two spice?
One douse, two dice??
Oooh! I hates them meeses to pieces!
(Name that quote #342)
Mr. Jinks, from Pixie and Dixie, in almost every episode.
Where do Virginia’s glasses go when she is surprised?
Maybe that’s what made the “Shf” sound.
They’re very thin, so the lenses disappear when she turns sideways, and for the sake of completeness, they take the frames with them.
Why didn’t Shelby take the cobras to the safe house when he went up that way?
Because he’s maintenance
what I really like is the exchange in panel 1.
“We’re scared of the monster.” “We’re near the safe house. Maybe it’s a resident.”
Virginia totally accepts that there’s a monster, and that maybe it’s already part of the system.
The proper plural is of course “mongoopodes.”
I can’t love this enough.
I’ve always been partial to mongice, bot polygoose is good too.
But then the English word is stolen from one of the Indian languages “Mungo.” So perhaps we should be asking what the plural is in that language.
Actually, the Marathi word for the critter comes out as “mungus,” with a long U in the second syllable.
Mungo is the first half of the name of a one-hit-wonder rock group.
That explains “mongoose” then.
