Michael Brewer (wusemajor) says: I….I just don’t know what to say about this one.
Rachel (admiralshazbot) says:
Unity’s a…zombie? I don’t know why that makes me sad. But it does. Tip, please psychoanalyze my response so I can feel better about myself.
Thomas Levy (ergonomytch) says: Watch out Tip, she’ll want your educated braiiiins!
D. Connolly (theogrin) says: ergonomytch: Don’t be silly. The living dead don’t eat brains. After all, there’s nothing THAT enjoyable about being a reanimated corpse.
Michael Brazier (michaelbrazier) says: So, does Angelique have a lithe opaque nose?
Rockphed (rockphed) says: Unity might not be a zombie. The zombie might be some other denizen of madness!
Ed Gedeon (eddurd) says:
Zombies are people too! Unity strikes me as the type who would publicly protest for Undead Rights.
On an unrelated note, after reading the hot goblin sex scene, I will be useless at work all day today. Just so you know.
Leo will now wake up hungry *and* horny. Boy, can I sympathize.
Tiff Hudson (tiff_hudson) says: …reminds me of a road trip with a bunch of thespian engineers a long time ago in a college far, far away.
Elaine Corvidae (elaine_corvidae) says: Unity seems to make a much better zombie than Dave. Then again, she doesn’t look like her body parts were left to rot in a grave for six months, either. I guess freshness counts!
Mel Van Weelden (kessalia) says:
After the ‘inspired by real life events’ comment I feel for the person who got stuck with this in real life. *L*
And I’m gonna be spontaniously breaking into giggles all day because of this. 😛
Dan Knapp (dankna) says: Unity’s a zombie? OH! That makes sense! Explains the look…
Aaron Shades (prof_tinker) says:
. . . . . good lord, it’s like getting a glimpse of yourself from a alternate dimension. ‘Can’t argue with that logic’ indeed.
*Snerk* Angst the goblin? oh dear.
And Rachel, it makes you sad because of the implication that Unity had to die , and the worry that it was an unpleasant experience. Post-Incident character mourning is a perfectly healthy response.
My diagnosis: Eat a cookie.
Wallace Good (good_the_third) says: Not to knock Helen’s abilities, but its possible that Unity is a more carefully-crafted person than undead Dave. Then again, it is notable we can view the different strips as compatible. I mean, a lot of writers, different story, different laws of physics and reality, which has its own merits.
Katie Tandler (katesith) says:
I’ve done this before! In the car, even! (Except I think they were regular trashy dime-store romances, not goblin porn.)
The trick, though, is to read it in the “my first kindergarten play” voice. With the bright eyes, the loud mouth, the five-year-old’s timbre, the halting cadence, and the unsteady pronunciations.
Try it! It’s so fun! I promise!
Kaesa Aurelia (kaesa) says: We did this at a Valentine’s Day dinner party, as well as making ridiculous romance-novelized nametags for all participants involved, although ours were more DRAMATIC THEATRICAL READINGS, wherein all the ridiculous metaphors were pronounced as though they were of the utmost importance. It really is a lot of fun, provided you have the right kind of (read: entertainingly bad) romance novels on hand.
Rasteen Nowroozi (herandar) says: Shouldn’t it read “turgid goblinhood’?
John Olson (theothergrayman) says:
Okay, maybe I missed someone’s post, or MAYBE I’m the first one to notice:
Tip? He’s a cross-dresser, and his name is Tip? How very Marvelous Land of Oz!
bzzzzd (bzzzzd) says:
U…n…i…t…y……i…s……a……z…o…m…BIIIIEEEE!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Okay, I am macked here, as in truck. How in the seven hells did whoever stitched this grlz bod together find such two perfectly matched faces from different racial types? Or is she a zombie-clone? Or….or….or…..bzzzzzzft!

Rachel S. (masamage) says: Ewww.
Dan Knapp (dankna) says: John Olson: Yeah, we were all commenting on that a couple strips ago. And we have a cowardly lion, as somebody else pointed out.
Andy Holloway (garran) says: Unity’s not just a zombie, or not a traditional one, whatever the story here is; she’s not just a reanimated corpse, but some sort of sewn together composite of various… Oh. A patchwork girl. I see.
Martha Mintz (muffinthamighty) says: Call me prejudice, but I strongly disagree with the label “Zombie”. In Marthaland zombies smell awful, have scary cataract eyes and are complete morons with no memory of the human they used to be. They are my least favorite monsters because they make me think of getting reealy old and senile. I hope that comment doesn’t upset anyone, but that’s why they scare me. Oh, and the coming to eat you thing. So in my world unity isn’t a zombie because she seems to have free will, good hygene and she isn’t trying to eat anyone. But then again I may have fallen victim to the mass media’s representation of zombies and unity and her re-animated brethren may be trying to reclaim the word. This could go along with Mr Ed Gedeon’s idea of Zombie Rights. Eh, Zombie Power?
John Campbell (jcampbel) says: A zombie? Huh. Personally, I’d had her figured for a construct, like Dr. Frankenstein’s creation or various associates of Agatha Heterodyne’s.
Shaenon Garrity (shaenongarrity) says: Unity is Taking Back the Word.
Justin Grubbs (the_purple_knight) says: I have to say that Unity is impressive work for a zombie. Remember how Helen said that even the Journal of Malology’s creations fell apart after eating their creators.
Michael Brewer (wusemajor) says: I….I just don’t know what to say about this one.

Angst is a very appropriate name

Looks like you got some entrails on you there, pal…
