It’s generally safer to inform the abomination that you are not it’s creator and that you don’t expect it to obey you. At least if you’re Agatha Heterodyne.
By my count, it’s scarcely (22 days?) over 8 years. http://skin-horse.com/comic/12302007/. Of course, that’s just to when they started publishing; one presumes they were plotting before then, but I can’t be bothered to track down evidence of when the plotting began. ^_^
I guess it will be 8 years in June. If you count new years eve and new years day as a year apart because they are different years and something that occurred within 365 days from the beginning of the strip as occurring as the beginning of the strip because it’s been less than a year. Then yes, it’s been 9 years since the first mention of “hey, look, it’s x” leg-sweep. But if you don’t do those things it’s been seven years and 7 months. What’s 17 months? That’s barely enough time to pay a traffic ticket.
Apparently, Unity managed to leg sweep a being with a seemingly definitive lack of legs to sweep. She’s just that good 😀 So would count as a vine sweep or perhaps a tendril sweep?
Yep, and here is where she demonstrated how she would take down General Washington – http://skin-horse.com/comic/out-as/
Unity has been making plans for historical figures for a while now.
Ladies and gentlemen, here we have an example of how countless hours of preparation, planning, and practice can lead to a single, unforgettable act of pure awesome. U.N.I.T.Y. has been making contingency plans for figures both modern and historical for years, awaiting this very moment. Lets give her a round of applause, please!
True. But she thinks she’s pulled it off, which hasn’t happened before. The other ones have either been hypothetical scenarios or that one doomed attempt to leg-sweep a clockwork receptionist who doesn’t have legs.
If the rest of the line was “Surrender and know the peace of the Great Intelligence!” I’d know that at least Jeff is a Whovian.
🙂
I suspect you still do.
Ron: The words “I am your creator! You must obey me!” mean nothing to you, do they?
In other words, probably not Jeff.

Sometimes I love Unity even more…
It’s difficult isn’t it?
Sometimes, the night is generous to Unity.
Unity has been waiting years for this moment.
Shaenon and Jeff have been waiting nine years for that.
It’s been that long already? How time flies.

Roundhouse kick, followed by a tiger punch, I take it.
not a roundhouse.

She has had practice in the past.

BAM! Leg sweep!
So where is William?
I looked it up. Last reported buried in St. Pancras Old Church churchyard…but the grave is lost…
This is the best payoff I’ve ever seen.
Dan never gets any respect
Wait, did she kick him in the plant-nads? o_O
Isn’t it green?
Are we a mass?
We are subsuming whole towns
You are alone
They’re sending us clowns
Isn’t it bliss?
Old Ben approves
We go rampaging around
You barely can move
You are the clowns
Subsume the clowns

Thank you very much for posting this! I’ll *eventually* go back and read all this stuff again.

Ben Man-Swamp Franklin Thing is a comic I would buy the heck out of

*applauds* And her plan was so good it worked even though that’s not Benjamin Franklin, zombie or otherwise!
Seeing Unity finally pull this maneuver off has made me immoderately happy today.
But she didn’t actually pull it off, as that’s not actually Ben Franklin.
True. But she thinks she’s pulled it off, which hasn’t happened before. The other ones have either been hypothetical scenarios or that one doomed attempt to leg-sweep a clockwork receptionist who doesn’t have legs.
