    How many personalities can one zombie have?

      Except she’s not ‘one zombie’ by anything but lazy convention. She’s a horde of tiny beings that can be divided into distinct groups at need. So, really, she’s more like a committee or democracy.

        She is also a notary public.

        so, everything she does is “for the horde”?

          Unity has united the warring clans of nanites within her to become the adorable, deadly swarm we know and love. She’s like Ghengis Kahn, but more omnivorous.
          Or the lovechild of a time travelling Ghengis and Mel *shudders*

    Woah, is Smart!Unity a separate personality, conscious and aware, yet trapped in Unity’s head until she gets enough brains to exert herself? I it were me, I think I’d be a douche too.

    …or maybe this is just how Unity resolves her existential conflicts: hallucinations via severe head trauma.

      Lets be honest: U.N.I.T.Y. resolves most of her conflicts with severe physical trauma. This is just the first time where she experienced it directly, rather than inflicting it on someone else.

      Don’t forget the addendum: There are far too many people who are neither. 😉

    That last panel is why I prefer Baseline Unity. You can be smart; You can be smarter than everyone around you; I certainly have been in that scenario. But Smart Unity is a jerk about it.

      I call it Sherlock Syndrome: “I’m not smart, everyone else is a moron.”

    Okay, so she is always ‘Smart’, just that side of her doesn’t always show itself, gets released, unless she has had some brain-food (literally food that is brains)? Interestink

    Also, as Unity said, she doesn’t want advice, she wants to talk

    Regular Unity is smarter than just about anyone, including herself or Smart Unity, gives her credit for. She’s just kind of a savant about it, instead of simply being, well, a douche about it.

    Two things-
    Nice swirly brain-backdrop!
    A scene with more than one Unity to colour? Are you guys just hazing Pancha?

    The question is, does Smart Unity have a conscience too? Signs point to no.

    Sad to see your smug superiority so fully realized

    I think that some people are missing the disturbing point here, which is that regular Unity thinks she has a reason to talk to Smart Unity.
    First, Unity with gardening tools, and now Unity with a plan. Be very afraid.

    Time for an internal, philosophical debate. I must admit, if I had to guess a decor for Unity’s mind, swirly pink would not have been my first try.

      Well, it’s brains.

      Presumably the Willie Nelson posters aren’t visible from this angle.
