I veto this idea.
I also vetoed Nick / Virginia … but see what good that did me. ¬_¬
People have the weirdest obsession with impractical ships around here.
Lassie (the character) was a girl. The various collies who *played* Lassie through the years were all boys, because the male collies have nicer looking coats.
It just goes to show that appearances count for more in Hollywood than acting ability, regardless of gender *or* species.
Says something about this comic that BOTH main couples are physically incompatible yet completely adorable. Though actually, Unity can be a dog now if she likes…

Got no dates, me and Sweetheart, got no dates!
But she says we sidekicks have to face our fates …
Just the princess gets a lover,
We must settle for each other,
‘Cause we’re mates, me and Sweetheart, ’cause we’re mates!
Wonder why, tell me Sweetheart, wonder why?
Is there something with our mojo that’s awry?
Guys won’t do that stuff erotic
With girls fuzzy or necrotic!
Heavy sigh, I tell Sweetheart, heavy sigh!
Awwww, me and Sweetheart!
On the sofa now, together we are curled …
Awwww, me and Sweetheart!
Seems to be, it’s her and me against the world!
Now I’m calming Sweetheart’s fears,
Just kissed Remy for the ears!
Weekend night, me and Sweetheart,
This ain’t right! Me and Sweetheart …
Got … no … dates!
For some reason I’m finding myself wondering what UNITY sounds like right now. Sure I could imagine something in the area of a generic perky teenager would work as a default. But think about it. She could have gotten those vocal chords from ANYWHERE.
After colour, the next upgrade will be voice-acting!
I wonder a LOT what Unity sounds like- her dialogue seems to be a mash-up of several incompatible American dialects, a couple of which I’d never even heard of before.
It wouldn’t surprise me if, though the intellect gained is temporary, whenever UNITY eats brains they have a small, long term influence on her dialect and perhaps other traits.
Also she’s an odd form of gestalt entity, it makes sense for her to be influenced by the parts that make up the whole.
“Make do with each other”? Maybe Artie has a point.
I wonder if Unity vomiting herself into Sweetheart’s digestive system would be an act of intimacy* for both or either of them, were they to have a non-platonic relationship. (I think Unity might actually be one of the few fictional people I’ve seen who could handle a queerplatonic relationship and not get weird about it, but Sweetheart… isn’t.)
*My Android dictionary says “intimacy” isn’t a word but “intamicy” is. Weird. I even checked Google to be sure I had the right spelling.
Will you two make out already?! (Also: are those ears seriously going to be a permanent fixture?)

Benji, Rin Tin Tin, Rex the Wonder Dog and (saving the best for last) Lassie would all kill, to go out with you Sweetheart!
Rex once killed a tyrannosaurus rex with an atomic bomb. Lassie can’t compete.
I thought Lassie was a girl.
Does that matter?

Eh… nobody’s perfect!
:rimshot:
Re: Lassie Girl
I think Sweetheart would prefer that…. skin-horse.com/comic/todays-comic-710/
ergo the best for last!
And Gaspode the Wonder Dog would find a way to get the others arguing with each other and make his own move in the chaos.
Now admittedly, he would find himself up against Sweetheart’s standards, but he might have an outside shot.
Isn’t Tip more of the sidekick? Sure, he has a thing for the spotlight, but Sweetheart and Unity both have seniority on him.
Anyone keeping a tally of Tip’s “scores” on display? We know he’s had more than reported.

Actually, we’ve already demonstrated that she can be pretty much any damned thing she wants to be; including “one with the animals”. :-\

I wonder if her nanobot blood could take over the drone…?
popcorn, movie, and snuggling on the couch? looks like a date to me!

And thanks again to Nerdy Nerd for figuring out the problem with javascript! 🙂
I love how both “princesses” are both straight and going on a date with a female, yet it makes perfect sense.
Technically, the drone body has had two dates so far in this episode.
Not “both straight”.
Tip recently discovered an interest in men. Seems to me he’s still exploring this. http://skin-horse.com/comic/todays-comic-628/
Nick is straight (far as I know)… but as a helicopter, his interest in Dr Lee is a trans-species romance. http://skin-horse.com/comic/todays-comic-353/
I do like the “both princesses”, though!
Has Tip shown any interest in any guy other than Artie, though? According to Sweetheart, Artie has a mojo kind of like Tip has.
Bride of Frankenstein ref on the t-shirt?
Is that a Lassie pinup on the calendar?
Business before pleasure?

So, does UNITY’s shirt say ‘We belong dead”? (From _Bride of Frankenstein_.)
Make do with eachother? That was too close to a Freudian slip, just changing ‘do’ with ‘out’ XD
Awww, Sweetheart’s so adorable!

…pfft, okay that’s very clever.
