Sweetheart was a secret agent!
Raided the Institute!
She didn’t get too far ’cause she was in VR,
And they made her brain reboot!
Although Unity, she thinks it was cute!
She was –
[CHORUS:]
Goi-nking the ‘bot!
Sha-ring all we’ve got!
Weird mental image that’ll make you hurl!
Goink the robot girl!
Two girls sharing coffee,
Racing karts, as well!
Sweetheart thinks it’s fishy, it makes her wish she
Was back in V.R. hell! [repeat CHORUS]
I wanna see their baby! I wanna see their baby! I wanna see their baby! I wanna see their baby! I wanna see their baby! I wanna see their baby! I wanna see their baby! I wanna see their baby! I wanna see their baby!
And all the baby shower presents. Will their be a bridal shower?
Will their be a wedding? We know U.N.I.T.Y. looks good in a suit, or will she be wearing a dress. What kind of dress will Bubbles be wearing?
Why am I so excited about this? … haven’t had caffeine yet.
Picture this now… we get to the end of the strip, Anasigma is thwarted, a new human vs. non-human war is averted, peace is on the horizon and all is well for Sweetheart and the Skin Horse team. Then it turns out to all be a VR simulation. Actually that would be kind of a let down, but I probably wouldn’t see it coming.
New theory! Everything since Whimsyland has been a simulation. You can tell, because fantasy is in color and reality is in black and white, because come on, a covert Wizard of Oz reference that nobody notices until it turns out to be a major plot point is totally something Shaenon would do
I’m glad Bubbles got her drone shell back. When A-Sig hacked the drone I was worried for her.
Yeah, me, too. Unless this is another VR simulation.
Funny, I thought that Tigerlily would have amused herself “improving” her water cooler body so she wouldn’t need the drone anymore.
Probably better for everyone that I’m wrong about this.

“fishy” -> “wish she”. Standing ovation.
Admit it, today’s comic is just an excuse so Shaenon could write the word “goinking” in yet another strip, isn’t it?
Every strip is an excuse to write “goinking”. Even if it doesn’t appear directly, it is merely setting the stage for it’s fabulous appearance.
Well without Mell Kelly around, the only character who really has an excuse to use “goinking” is Unity.
Now that you mention it, that does make sense.
And this is bad how? **grins**
I’m starting to get really worried about Hitty… and the cops…
Hitty: “…we never hit the speed limit, officer, honest! Trust me, I would know if we did – there would be not much left of it…”
I’m having a hard time not imagining this strip with “Service!” instead of “Joy!” as Bubbles’ line.
Fan Service Is My Only Joy.
……aaaaaand you win today’s Internet prize!
I guess some time has passed since the return…Unity has changed shirts.
I now want a “Whimsy Princess” shirt! With Princess Chibi-Nick & Baron Mistycorn! In Color!!!
What about the “Ground Coffee” coffee cups? If that’s what they say and not something else…
I wanna see their baby! I wanna see their baby! I wanna see their baby! I wanna see their baby! I wanna see their baby! I wanna see their baby! I wanna see their baby! I wanna see their baby! I wanna see their baby!

More likely, the last words will be “Heh, heh, heh!”

Am I the only one here anticipating a Mustachio-Hitty-Foot triangle?
Foot?
From Narbonic, William. If you enjoy Skin Horse, you should read Narbonic; you’ll find out Artie’s backstory, for one thing.
–Dave, also, why everyone recognized that Madblood guy on Moustachios wax cylinder
It’s good to see Bubbles back where she belongs. I still miss Nick in the drone, but she’s far happier in it that he ever was.
