… Am I the only one who’s wondering what it signifies that Bubbles’ fourth-panel line is written in Shaenon’s handwriting instead of her usual typeface?
I think the font change is merely to accent that Bubbles is a little miffed with Unity, but it could be someone else is riding the drone and just doing a Bubbles impression.
But isn’t the hand-lettering done before colouring and lettering the parts that use a font? I’d think a last minute edit would be less likely to be hand-lettered, not more.

Oh, no, the water cooler’s a telepath.
No telepathy required, just email.
This water cooler, she sends emails.
That undead weapon, she doesn’t understand long words.
…it’s a wonder they’ve got this far, really.
Here’s what I imagine the email looks like:
From: Service@Only.joy
To: my.Service;
Subject: Service Is My Only Joy
Service,
Joy, Service is my only joy. Joy? Joy! Service joy. My only joy. Service.
Is my,
Only Joy
To be fair, I had to look up “colloquy” myself.
And then I felt dumb for not bridging the gap from “colloquial”, which I DO know the meaning of.
colloquy [ ˈkäləkwē ]
NOUN formal
1. a conversation: “they broke off their colloquy at once”
2. a gathering for discussion of theological questions.
Where’s my babelfish when I need it?
Service…
Isn’t that hard.
Context is your babelfish.
I admit, it’s nice seeing bubbles use other facial expressions than “happy all the time”
Better not anger a man in black by taking his blueberry muffin.

Interesting question – seems like there’s usually a reason for these minor things.
I think the font change is merely to accent that Bubbles is a little miffed with Unity, but it could be someone else is riding the drone and just doing a Bubbles impression.
Well, the drone was out of Bubbles’s hands and unsupervised for a long time not long before this.
Equally likely that it’s a last minute edit that avoids re-doing the entire panel. We’ll find out in the director’s cut.

I have to admit, one must marvel at Ms. Cooler’s eloquence, especially given her vocabulary issues.
