Those are their kids and she can’t eat them! If she wants one, she’ll have to make it herself. Then she can post pictures of her meal on the bulletin board too if she wants.
The little boy in panel 2 looks familiar- wasn’t he an infant wrestler? Or gerbil cosplayer? Something like that. Or maybe an artist? Yeah, that sounds right…
Retching I don’t know about, but she’s probably pounding her head on her desk and planning on lecturing U.N.I.T.Y. the umpteenth time on things not to say in public.
You’d have no problem getting me into the same state of mind we had concerning the Iraq-Iran War of “It’s a shame they can’t both lose!”. It’s in trying to persuade me that one side is necessarily any better than the other that you would need to do your work. Especially after I’ve taken a moment to reflect that this is the fruit of Unity’s training in her attempt to grow a conscience and another moment to reflect that she’s supposed to be one of the nicer nonhumans. @_@
These people are reality blind! I wonder why I didn’t notice before. They’re ignoring Unity’s anthropophagous tendencies, and think Anasigma just does some kind of nebulous ‘national security’ work.
They’ve seen so much weirdness that Unity doesn’t strike them as out of the ordinary. They know what A-Sig does, but they’re content being out here in the middle of nowhere because they don’t have to deal with it. Just operate their little airfield, and don’t attract any attention.
Throughout history, “good” folks have happily worked for malevolent institutions, believing that authoritarian bureaucracy legitimized the activity.
Church, State, Corporation…no problem…as long as the group appears organized, knowledgeable and socially dominant, it’ll draw in “nice” followers who don’t want to have to bother with thinking and taking moral responsibility on their own.
Plus, the organizations can provide a regular paycheck, so one proudly can take on the role of “breadwinner “, giving high status among family and friends.
In this context, Skin Horse encounters the problem of how to be the “good guys” while aggressing against these seemingly sweet, kind people. Bet they’ve replaced he acid in the “loyalty pits” with salty Margaritas.
Then why is the menu posted on the bulletin board behind them?

You watched Shrek, didn’t you?
And once again we are reminded about Unity’s imorallity while judging her own mom.
I would say amorality. Unity still struggles with figuring out social norms.

Really? I thought he was documenting a cat museum. Should be a bestseller once it’s done.
“Puppies” And I can almost see Sweetheart retching.

Not to mention a refresher course on things that are not acceptable food sources.
Cake…AND A WRENCH!!!
‘So much nicer than the last team’,,,,Brrrrr. AND THEY are on their way, too.
Showdown a- comin’.
Unity….the wrench-eating wench.
There are some days when I’m not convinced that Ira is the bad guy. 😛
Yeah but by the same argument all the humans should be killed because many of them are violent and cause problems.
Except that our “heroes” cover for Unity, no matter what she does, and they do the same for all sorts of non-humans.
Unity gets hungry, and she has impulse control problems.
Ira, on the other hand, wants to eradicate an entire classification of sentient life. How much convincing do you need?

Bear in mind that Unity is a product of Anasigma. She was created as part of Ira’s master plan.
Can you explain why there was a war to the Iranians and Iraqis?

Nick knows unity so well… i guess this is why he didn’t keep ketchup onboard
