Wow, this is not the strip in which to admit to not recognizing a reference. And…. how the heck can anyone not have heard of “Arsenic and Old Lace”. It’s a bleeding classic. And it featured Cary Grant. Surely it’s a reasonable assumption to assume every human being is familiar with and will recognize the title of every Cary Grant movie made, isn’t it?
Attempting to destroy the biomass instead of negotiating is what created the UNITY-biomass in this universe (with some unknown intermediate steps, I assume)
Little does Unity realize that Unity is tricking Unity into letting her guard down. Thus Unity will then defeat Unity in perfect chaotic harmony. Then Unity will take Unity’s body parts and Become.. UnityUnity. Or Unity²
the mechanics of swapping body parts while not exchanging personality-carrying goop are sufficiently beyond me that I’ll just call it Swamp Magic and leave it at that.
She’s stuck in a loop. What do we use to reboot her again?
Take her “blood” out and put it back in again and see if that works?
Remember to wait 60 seconds to let the capacitor charge die.
Trying that might have been part of how the whole mess got started in this universe.
What “we” usually do is knock her out so she can get in touch with her other self. It doesn’t seem to have helped here.
UNITY: “Argh! Tell me your evil plot, already!”
MIRROR-UNITY: “OK, I will! First, have you ever seen the movie ‘Arsenic and Old Lace?'”
UNITY: “Argh! What’d you do to my face?”
MIRROR-UNITY: “Ah, c’mon! I didn’t even SAY ‘face’ this time…!”
Evidently, that is an actual movie.
It’s a play, too:

A funny one too!
One of Peter Lorre’s better roles. 🙂
What do you mean “apparently”? Philistine

Heh, mentioned “Arsenic and Old Lace” just the other day on another webic’s comment section 😀
Mirror-Unity is the daughter of a sea cook?
And the ad I’m getting is for extra strength “horseshoe’s secret.” Unity is about to get extra lucky?
Unity prime has been here before, so maybe this time she destroys the biomass instead of negotiating with it.
The “poison” was Unity Blood.

Actually, Sweetheart looks exhausted.
I’m just glad she isn’t colored green.
I’m assuming she hasn’t been mounted on little green leaf-wheels.
Yes, she looks so peaceful, sleeping like that 😀

To be fair, having half your face replaced would demand anyone’s attention.
It’s especially confusing when it’s replaced by the other half, except you can see your face in front of your face
Maybe it’s time for someone to suggest cooking up some blueberry waffles? 🙂
(Assuming Mirror Unity responds to the same phrase)
It’s probably a good thing that Sweetheart is sleeping through this. It might go on for a while.
