Meanwhile, Sweetheart refuses to admit that she mentally calls her fun bits “the Heat Factory”, and Nick calls his favourite body part “my Sidewinder [not a euphemism]”.
tune: “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” Edward Pola & George Wyle, 1963, recorded by Andy Williams
It’s the Most Delightful Place on this Earth
It is fun always waiting,
Worth anticipating. It fills me with mirth
It’s the Most Delight Place on this Earth
It’s the hap-happiest place in my pants
It’s been animal, human (both she and he, too), and
Makes me wanna dance
It’s the hap-happiest place in my pants
Where is Collodi’s daughter?
You say that I oughter
Look where there’s a fount of delight
But I’m searching my jammies
I don’t understand—she’s
Not in my happy place tonight
It’s the Most Delightful Place on this Earth
Light of Culture and Reason
Got nothing on these’ uns
Can his bits give birth?
It’s the Most Delightful Place
Puts a big smile on my face
It’s the Most Delightful Place on this Earth!
Heh, I was thinking of the exact same Outland strip as soon as I saw this. Shaenon has homaged his work before and I tip my hat her way in delight every time I see it.
Does UNITY know this from personal experience or is it something she picked up from someone she ate?
Has UNITY’s “Delightful Place” ever had visitors? If so, were they visiting UNITY or does was Dr Lee using second hand parts? (Can’t shake the image of Joliet Jake Blues checking out of the joint. Frank Oz saying, “One ‘soiled’.”)
That phrase “most delightful place on earth” gives me a twee creepy vibe. Like some sort of sick demented circus environment.
THEN AGAIN – it could be another (that place which shall not be named) reference – between Orlando and California sites. The California site has been called “the happiest place on earth”. Still creepy.
You know, considering that Dr. Collodi is also responsible for GODOT, it’s entirely possible that this could be both a drug-fueled hallucination AND a genuine message from the Spirit of Whimsy. Maybe it’s another one of those mind-effecting thingies that only affects people that are “innocent”, “childlike”, or in a similar frame of mind caused by being “on shrooms”
I completely missed that joke, and instead read it as “Even Unity‘s afraid to go to this ‘Most Delightful Place on Earth’ place, and it was expecting someone more gullible”.
Well, your alternative is Tip so we’ll go with “Yes” on that one.
The funny thing is Nick is probably worse if you count his porn folder (or more accurately, hard drive).
I think it was looking for Sweetheart.
I think Sweetheart is a little too cynical and Nick would just draw comparisons to Navi the whole time.
Personally, I’m thinking ‘Will it blend?’, but I think that about pretty much anything new.
Sweetheart enjoys visiting Cleaveland and organizing old files.
Not exactly childlike wonderment.
Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha!
I take it the Most Delightful Place on Earth is the female equivalent of The Light of Culture and Reason. Makes sense to me.
I had forgotten about that. Had any-one else had referred to it as such, I’d have assumed they were being sarcastic.
But then Gustave Coubert called his painting The Origin of the World.
Depending on how dedicated she is to maintenance, sometimes it’s the Garden of Earthly Delights.
*Garden of Earthy Delights.
Meanwhile, Sweetheart refuses to admit that she mentally calls her fun bits “the Heat Factory”, and Nick calls his favourite body part “my Sidewinder [not a euphemism]”.
That’s… a surprisingly mature joke for this comic. o_O
Yes it is…
But oddly in an innocent and childlike way.

… so childbirth counts as delightful, now? I think most (biological) mothers would disagree on that.
Answers: “Sometimes” or “Have you ever met a child?”
Third answer: “Innocence can be such a . . . relative term.”
Fourth answer: Will there be sammiches ?
Careful, now. Didn’t Berke Breathed lose hundreds of thousands of dollars because of that joke?
Heh, I was thinking of the exact same Outland strip as soon as I saw this. Shaenon has homaged his work before and I tip my hat her way in delight every time I see it.
The Questions… (moan) The Quesstionssss…

Delight can be solo. And solo delightful.
Hence the lack of incongruence when considering innocence.
Okay, apparently a comment won’t post if you start it with emoji music notes, but sing along anyway:
SISTERS ARE DOING IT FOR THEMSELVES!
This had me thinking of Robin Hood Men in Tights line “It is the key to the greatest treasure in all the world!”
I agree wholeheartedly with the third panel.
there’s some Canon evidence for this,if anyone is interested in it p.m. me.

It’s almost certainly a reference to Disneyland, the “happiest place on Earth”, considering that WhimsyCorp is a paper-thin expy of Disney.

Dr. Collodi is not responsible for GODOT. GODOT was a DoD project.
… Okay, thank you comments.

Me too!
I learned something today, plot points in Skin Horse? Couldn’t give a crap. New ears on unity? Must go to archives, must learn how!
Listen Spirit of Whimsy, your options are pretty limited in that regard.
But also, knowing even a little bit about real children, this isn’t far off the mark for hos they behave.
