    Tip’s line in the last panel is something most of us hope we never have to hear..

      I ‘unno, the “Oh, good” defuses it. “Oh-no! You’re the one I dismembered?” would be much worse.

        Depends on the tone of voice in which he said “Oh, good”. @_@

      I can’t help but think “let our love be a flame not an ember; say it’s me that you want to dismember”. I know it’s not particularly relevant but it scans and it rhymes and isn’t that enough when you are finding joyful sentences using the word “dismember”?

      I’d say that Tip’s line in the last panel is something most of us hope we never have to say.

    I wasn’t you who dismembered unity.Unity dismembered herself.

      In fairness, his actions resulted in the dismemberment, unless we’re giving Jigsaw a pass as well.

        Being caught in a foot snare isn’t really the same as a death trap though.

    What I want to know is which file he’s reading and what he’s got pulled up on the laptop.

    Woah, that was what, 1.3 seconds between getting snared and completely gnawing off a leg? Unity must be really impatient to finish this and get to her date!

      the date was only a decoy remember?

        Decoy, shmecoy. She wanted to have a date with her from the moment she started using the drone, remember? Sweetheart just gave her a convenient excuse.

      No,no, Chris wants the files. Tip is happy to give him the files . . . if he survives the obstacle course. While, of course, Tip sits in his “girliest” pose and drinks tea ever so daintily (in accordance with Chris’ stated view of Tip).

      Be ever so careful what you wish for. Somebody might decide to have fun giving it to you. 😀

        That’s not giving it to them. That’s letting them have it. 😉

    Tip’s poise and impressive class whilst sitting on a pile of top secret documents and drinking a cup of tea whilst someone sets off his impeccably arranged set of lasers and snares… Absolutely incredible.

    And those are some elegant heels.

    He kind of screwed himself though. That sheaf of papers he was carrying is now all out of order and scattered on the floor.

    (TUNE: “Suspicious Minds”, Elvis Presley)

    She’s caught in a trap,
    But she got out!
    Her leg’s detachable, that’s handy!

    She needs tastier jeans,
    With some fava beans,
    And maybe, too, a nice chianti!

     Ev’ryone’s out and searching
     For the basement files …
     Unity’s out and lurching
     Through these wiley trials!

    Now is this a scheme
    To divide the team?
    This girl’s a member in good standing!

    Sometimes I get the feeling his co-workers forget Tip is actually a decorated veteran army officer.

      Maybe it’s the fact that’s he’s usually wearing different kinds of decorations that throws them off.

    What do you call a female zombie with one leg shorter than the other?

      One whose leg is detached would be Disunity.

    I concur with Zig. It was Unity’s impatience that lead her to chew her leg off, rather than any imminent danger.

    After Thinking about it, it occurs to me that Unity might not remember that the date was a decoy. I think that her reaction to the trap suggests an otherwise unexplained sense of urgency.

    Female zombie with one leg shorter? “Eilene”. If she lost her whole leg, she could work at IHOP.

    I think Unity is being disingenuous here.
    If she were in a hurry she would have bitten through the rope instead.

      Since that’s a military grade snare, I think it’s safe to assume that it’s wire, not rope.

        That would stop Unity? I don’t see her having any problem chewing through a steel cable. She’s bitten through metal before.

    I don’t know how Tip’s glasses stay on his face, but I see that, like the doors on “Star Trek”, they know when to get out of the way…

      The lenses move up and down independently on little levers attached to the back of his head.

    She probably just chewed out her stitches. I hope.

    Impressive swagger for one talking to a military grade weapon that is probably very PO’d at you, Tip.
