    Emperor Norton, Melody Kelly, and maybe Gibbs. No one else would dare, no matter how smart it was ^_^

    I don’t think anything less would have taken her down.

    The text kinda looks lie he is saying “a genHeman must oblige”. I really like the idea of a genHeman, like a cross between a gentleman and He-Man.

      I was thinking a genetically engineered He-Man.

    “By the Power of Emily Post … I HAVE THE MANNERS!”

    Speaking of run-together letters, there used to be a drugstore chain in Indiana called “Hook’s”. The way the big elaborate “H” was written, it looked a lot like “Fl”. My sister and I always called it “Flook’s”.

      For that same reason, for years I read the Benetton logo as Benelton, and wondered if the chain’s founder was Ben Elton.

      Not necessarily run-on letters so much as a really poorly chosen font, but there’s a chain of maid services in Cleveland called Fussy Cleaners that uses a really fancy, curly font for its logo. Many high school jokes were had about that F.

    …And thus we see monarchy’s major ability: for good or ill, it can act very quickly when it needs to.

    Third panel is high art! Is “thuck!” the sound of her teeth coming together?

    (TUNE: “Angel Of The Morning”, Juice Newton)

    We’ll mix some toxins in a flask,
    And then we’ll pour it in the vents …
    But there’s some questions I should ask,
    Because right now, it makes no sense!

     Right now, I need some good advice,
     So please, don’t make me ask you twice …

      Just whack me hard upon my noggin, K.T.!
      She doesn’t want to, says it’s way too ris-ky!
      Just whack me hard upon my noggin, K.T.!
      But Norton will step in,
      Obliging gentleman …

    I like how his face is still in shadows even though the environment is light enough to see the other two’s faces clearly.

    Get yourself knocked unconscious: for when smoking mushrooms for the spirit quest just doesn’t cut it…

      Hey, sometimes circumstances can’t wait for the slow road to enlightenment.

    Did she got unconscious to avoid thinking or, as I suspect, to talk to someone?
    Who needs her to be unconscious to talk to? Perhaps Dr. Lee, as she probably still has some UNITY nanomachines in her body? The spirit of the civil service? Or, dare I think about it, a separate personality residing in her brain, cloned from the most vicious lawyer ever?

      Interesting questions Kether! Will her lack of consciousness free her conscience? Or, will it free up a few nanites to sync with the swamp?

      Indeed, good questions. The last time we saw Unity get knocked out, she was possessing Dr Lee and was able to communicate with her. But who can she communicate with in her own body? We shall find out!

      My bet is that the whack will give UNITY’s mind a boost equivalent to eating brains: maybe for a shorter time frame.

      I’m thinking she needs to talk to Smart Unity.

    The progressive eyes of UNITY:
    *Pensive Charlie Brown eyes in panel 1.
    *Wide Disney eyes in panel 2.
    *Full on Orphan Annie eyes when she gets shwakked.

    If I didn’t know that her nanite essence came in a stream instead of a cloud, I’d be worried about whatever was rising out of her in that last panel.

    Is Norton’s comment in the final panel a reference to Professor Layton?

    I read that sign as “Vent system (over ride)”, and for a moment forgot that The Little House wasn’t under Colma.
