Mel Van Weelden (kessalia) says: Well, at least they won’t have to worry about Tip wanting to tag along on assignments for a while? *L* He’ll probably get back and crawl under his desk and refuse to come out for a while. : P
James Rice (jhrice) says: Ed said…
“Returning to Wednesday’s discussion, yes, Unity seems less the traditional zombie and more like a ‘Girl Genius’ type construct, or a Diskworld ‘Igor’ (excuse me, ‘Igorina’).”
I think Unity is much closer to Buddy from Mundementia One:. A creation stitched together from spare parts.

Martha Mintz (muffinthamighty) says: Shakespeare wager: I’m placing my bets on the monster laden Tempest- either Caliban or Prospero. Though for a fun twist Shaenon could throw in a Timon of Athens quote. I mean, it’s so obscure that it seems just her cup of tea.
Shaenon Garrity (shaenongarrity) says:
Yes, if Unity existed in the Girl Genius universe, she’d be called a construct. Here, she’s classified as a “necrotic sapient,” although there are other terms of varying levels of political correctness.
I love the Igors in the Discworld books, as annoying as it can get to parse (or parth) their dialogue.
Thomas Levy (ergonomytch) says: How much do you wanna bet Konstantin is working under the alias Stan Bull?
Martha Mintz (muffinthamighty) says: Are they sitting on the lion?!?
John Wells (johnwwells) says: Every 15 miles? Judging by the speed from which worst-case scenario went from “caught speeding with lion” to “crammed in backseat with police officers and lion,” that seems like an overestimate.
Rockphed (rockphed) says:
Will Konstantin become Lunch?
Will we ever see him again?
And why does sweetheart’s nose keep getting shorter?
Tune in next time to find out on Unity and Sweetheart, or the Clownly Lion!
Thomas Levy (ergonomytch) says:
“And why does sweetheart’s nose keep getting shorter?”
It’s foreshadowing of a major plotline wherein it is discovered that Helen Beta Narbon has released a retrovirus into the atmosphere which targets the unstable genetic makeup of transgenics world wide, slowly, inevitably transforming them into gerbils.
Shaenon Garrity (shaenongarrity) says: Man, I’ve been drawing the characters for less than a month at this point. Gimme a break!
So It Begins (soitbegins) says: Heh heh heh.
Magnolia Pearl Porter (magnoliapearl) says: Konstantin is already my favorite character ever. EVER.
Ed Gedeon (eddurd) says:
Rockphed … that was a “Rocky and Bullwinkle” tribute, wasn’t it? Good one!
OK, now I can’t wait for the movie version, just to see stunt driving with a Volvo.
Unity’s supposed “training” probably consisted of listening to Prof. Tom Lehrer’s “Hunting Song”: “You just stand there looking cute / And when something moves, you shoot!”
Dave Van Domelen (dvandom) says: Sudden and unexpected in the “Oops, THAT’S where I left that poisoned vodka” sense, I would think.
Mel Van Weelden (kessalia) says:
*nearly dies from choking on brekfast cereal* I hope you’re happy!
Love it.
mercyfire (mercyfire) says: I want the video for that driving course!
Aaron Shades (prof_tinker) says:
Yeesh. Barely a month and we’ve already got the cartoonist on the run.
Not I want MY shirt saying “Let’s drive this Volo Off A Few Ramps!!”
Konstantin. . . Constantine? Yee!!
Dan Knapp (dankna) says: Oh man. This is a hilarious turn of events. I love it.

Ok, I think I like this Konstantin guy.
He shows up again in several story arcs.
