Rachel (admiralshazbot) says: Unity is really scary. It makes me happy when characters scare me a little like that.
Martha Mintz (muffinthamighty) says:
I feel sorry for the lion. He’s being dragged by his tail!
Ed Gedeon (eddurd) says: Unity is a mix of Mell and Dave. Like Mell, she has a love for violence. Like Dave, she has a car. And if any orbiting satellites try to crash on it, she can shoot them down in a blaze of fury. Hmm … “Deorbiting Fury” sounds like a cool video game.
George Olive (geoolive) says: Non-canonical backstory: The puppy mill industry entered into an unholy alliance with genetic engineers (probably part of the Dave Conspiracy) for the purpose of making dogs that would laugh at their owners lame jokes. But the gene engineers were under time pressure so rather than write the code from scratch they just patched in some human DNA strands and de-activated the parts that they didn’t want. Alas, some natural disaster (sun spots? American idol re-runs? Aryan Flu?) reset the epigenoic functions and unwanted human DNA was re-activated. Cats began writing spambots and setting fires, dogs began telling ‘Knock, Knock’ jokes and riding motorcycles. Civilization was on the brink of collapse!
kelly snedeker (telluride) says: Id love my dog to tell knock knock jokes.
David Harmon (mental_mouse) says:
If left near a shut door, my cat will tell knock-knock jokes. “Who’s there?” “Just checking.”
“He’ll probably lash out — teeth, claws, everywhere.” Well, maybe it would help if Unity weren’t dragging him by his tail! She clearly has an “easy come, easy go” attitude to her own bodily integrity….
Wallace Good (good_the_third) says: There’s a certain doggish enthusiasm inherent in knock-knock jokes
Shaenon Garrity (shaenongarrity) says:
“Like Mell, she has a love for violence. Like Dave, she has a car.”
With their powers combined, they’re unstoppable!
Matt Katinas (nidoking) says: Ah ha ha ha ha… the dog calls shotgun! Can he pull the trigger?
Valerie Kaplan (shinyhappygoth) says:
Yeah, but a dog could never pull off the Interrupting Koala joke.
Q: Knock knock!
A: Who’s there?
Q: Interrupting koala.
A: Inter-
Q: *hug*
Valerie Kaplan (shinyhappygoth) says: (The Interrupting Starfish variant is also fun. That involves grabbing A’s face.)
Martha Mintz (muffinthamighty) says:
I’ve always been a fan of interrupting broccoli (or some variant thereof). It’s a great excuse to start a food fight, and you don’t have to get creative- just chuck a veggie at their head.
james ullrey (dfy) says: Hi, I just started reading Skin Horse and I would like to suggest that you make a copy of the navigation links and put them below the comic panels in addition to or instead of the links that follow the comment section. I have o interest in reading the comments but must scroll past them to advance to the next page of comics. Regards.
Skin Horse has been an education for me, and the comments a big part of the experience. Thank you all. The strip is an uplifting and enlightening cultural experience. A safe way to preview a tour in a dangerous place. Laughs included.

The halfway house in Jersey gets a visit from the cobras about 9 years from now.
