    Does the right hand know what the left hand is doing?

      The important part is to make sure, when all is done and the screaming has mostly stopped, that the left hand is sewn back on the left arm.

      Not that Unity would mind. It might make for a nice change of pace.

        Well, it’s her right hand that we’re dealing with, but whatever. And as long as she gets anyone’s right hand to sew back on, she’ll be happy.

          Much as I love Unity, I would hate to be her right-hand man.

    This was weirder than I expected to see, and I already set my weirdness threshold pretty high for this comic.

      Like Remy said when he met Unity and Sweetheart, “There’s weird, there’s New Orleans weird, and apparently there’s a third tier I wasn’t aware of.”

    There’s Tip, looking like Duchovny instead of Anderson.

      Now that you mention it…

      There is a definite resemblance, though I should note that Konstantin is a dead-ringer for Shaenon’s Mulder.

        Holy crap, they are ABSOLUTELY the exact same! That’s incredible!

        …

        …

        …

        Now I need to reread both the Skin-Horse and the Monster of the Week archives and swap voices and mannerism for the two.

        Although, which is the funnier interpretation? An alternate universe X-Files where Mulder doesn’t exist, and is just inexplicably replaced wholesale by ex-Russian special forces beefcake and all around good-times-guy Konstanin? Or a universe in which Mulder is still Mulder, but he inexplicably runs around speaking in an overblown and totally unconvincing Russian accent at all times for some reason?

    Seems to me the last time Unity ripped her hand off and sent it for help, it was promptly eaten by a werewolf.

    Wonder what’ll happen to it this time.

      Everybody should have one, but preferably not one that once belonged to a homicidal maniac.
      And remember, always be very polite to it.

    Come on, Sweetheart, you love it, and Unity knows it!

    …and Tip’s absence up till now was a fake Chekhov’s pistol.

    I am a touch annoyed.

      Apparently he wasn’t too good at avoidance. Too bad. Would have been kinda cool if he had been the one to break the rest of them out.

    I knew it! Woo hoo! Theory confirmed. No Unity heads on hands but hey, I was right! Yes! I would do a victory lap but there’s ice outside.

    Gotta hand it to her, very slick.

      And hopefully later, someone will hand it to her. But if they don’t, it’ll probably come back on its own.

    It’s a sign about how good an artist Shaennon is that I recognized the expressions on Sweeetheart’s face from some of the times I’ve petted dogs in the past. Most of them didn’t like it then much either.

      Sweetheart just doesn’t like it because it’s embarrassing in public, and generally undignified.

    Jeeze Unity’s gonna get done by HR for her wandering hands if Sweetheart complains.

    Try scratching behind the ears.

    That third panel looks like something you had lying around your sketchbook forever, waiting for an excuse to insert it into a comic.
