    Break room etiquette? So no fish in the microwave?

      No rotting meat left in the refrigerator, either.

        And gods help you if you don’t refill the coffeepot.

          Not to mention ‘clean cup bottom up’ in the event there’s no wall mounted cup dispenser.

            In my office, it’s removing the sink trap and dumping waste down the drain. Why not just put the chunky stuff in the trash? The trap is clearly there for a reason.

            That require noot being physically/intellectually lazy.

            Except it requires them to remove the trap, which takes at least as much effort as dumping food in the trash.

            How is the wall-mounted dispenser relevant? Don’t they still have to clean up even with a dispenser there?

            Gyrre means that in the absence of a mounted dispenser, you have to stack the cups on a counter or other flat surface. You’re supposed to stack them upside down so that dust or anything that might fall into the cup isn’t able to.

            Ah. It makes more sense that way. I was reading “clean” as a verb, rather than an adjective.

      I discovered that kimchi is also strongly disfavored by some parties.

    Ah, this is the place where Unity left her body. I suppose she can get it back now. After all, she’s got to have some place to put all those cakes!

      If they were really nice, they’d have stitched it back together for her in anticipation of her arrival.

      I mean, in addition to the six dozen cakes, of course.

      Depends on what they made the cakes out of.

      They know that she now has a bottomless, umm… gullet. UNITY doesn’t really need to eat (excepting brains), she just enjoys the experience of eating. Now she’s able to do so without that overfull feeling.

    Used to LOVE Unity; but she has been unnecessarily sidelined and useless
    lately. She wasn’t adequately prepared to overcome her equal foe, hence she only aroused hope, which was evidently dashed to nothing very quickly.
    Years of build-up, and then nozzings. Boooo.

      No need to be so harsh. Remember, Unity was “the prototype”! But she has advantages: Sweetheart and her Skin Horse family, learning to forgive Dr. Lee, the power of The Notary and her mysterious subconscious fondness for Willie Nelson! 🙂

      I predict her next play date with Trinity will turn out better. 🙂

      Yes, “years of build-up” to a largely unnecessary fight with a character we only learned existed the week before, and which she didn’t actually lose either. And, what, taking down Evil Ginny single-headedly doesn’t count for anything?

    I was kinda hoping this new Cypress would have Mme. des Souhait’s memories…

      I’m sure she’ll have some of them, but the Cypress said her memory was failing even back when we first met her because her frogs were dying off. I’m afraid a third generation clone is unlikely to retain much more than her personality and the most prominent or important memories she had.

    “I don’t know how this seed will grow.” Yeah. It could be a self-centered psychologist cross-dresser who’ll sleep with anything moving and a few things that aren’t.

    I’m happy that you’re still doing your comic. I was following it on Facebook, but it sort of disappeared from there…..

    They had to make six dozen cakes because someone keeps breaking in and stealing 40 cakes.

    That’s as many as 4 tens.

    And that’s terrible.

      It’s not stealing when the people made the 40 cakes for the people who broke in.

    Don’t entirely trust these people: sure, they’re rebelling against A-Sig, but are they doing it out of a newly found sense of right and wrong or simply because A-sig was going to extripate them anyway for failing to catch on to Skin Horse? [1]

    [1] The Might as Well be Hanged for a Sheep as a Lamb issue, a common problem for evil overlords with no restraint when it comes to punishments.

      I don’t think their sense of right and wrong is exactly “newly found”. They were already pushing the envelope on following regulations, because they knew they weren’t right. Once they realized that there was a resistance, it didn’t take much for them to change sides.

    So a massive hive-mind ecosystem is about to be cared for in the early stages by well-meaning officer workers. Should we be more worried or less?

    Good break room etiquette: courtesy, respect of others’ property, and the finer points of generating small talk. There are worse upbringings.
