“So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss.
If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose.
If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself.”
~Sun Tzu
With apologies to The Police for doing this to Message in a Bottle:
Just a revenant
A girl named U.N.I.T.Y., oh
Another deadly foe
And nothing here to eat, oh
Too dangerous
For anyone more sane
Message me before I run out of spare brain
I’ll send a text message to myself
I’ll send a text message to myself
I need to kill the swamp core–
I need to go save K.T.–
Hey, look there’s pie and kitties!
Message to my dumb self, yeah
Message to my dumb self
[CHORUS:]
Oh my, oh my, what a pity!
Running out of brains under Colma city!
Texting, texting, while I’m witty …
K.T. has a pie, and perhaps a kitty!
I’m feeling pain …
I’m low on brains …
Better text myself while some I.Q. remains …
My vital chore,
Destroy the core!
So I’ll know what I must rescue K.T. for!
On the other hand,
I just won’t understand …
And so I’ll lie! (oh my)
And talk of pie! (yay, pie!)
Hmm. Just noticed that the skin color on Unity’s chest changes from panel one to subsequent panels. I think the colorist mistook a stitch line for a cleavage line, or vice versa.
Unity knows herself well.
She seems to have a low opinion of herself, or a high opinion, probably both.
Not well enough, I’d say, because she didn’t successfully send her message before it was wiped by dumb!Unity.
Most of us read it like she changed it knowing that Normal Unity would get bored of the original message three words in.
Too Well, if you ask me.
she is getting savvy and dangerously so.
She’s learning!
Intelligence + Wisdom? Oh dear.

What if you are your own enemy?
Well then, back to knowing thyself. And thus the circle is complete.
Where does the Hulk/Banner fall on this spectrum?
Banner weak; Hulk smash.
I see that smart U.N.I.T.Y is a serious danger. The world was spared a lot by her default mode being not smart.

The most appropriate quote in the forum. Bravo, dear sir, bravo.

…her faint smile of superior amusement as she talks down to herself….
Her change of expression in panels 2 – 4 say it perfectly. Well done, Shaenon.
For some reason, her expression in panel 4 reminds me of Lois in Dykes to Watch out For.
That is the best compliment ever, no joke.

A backup message:
“Fire is fun,
And grenades are ‘Da Bomb’!
But poison the core
Just to be sure!
Ask K.T.”
