    well, sometimes I forget how easy it is to convince sweetheart with some well done burocracy

      Is Burrocracy when you fill out all the proper donkey forms?

        And “burrito” just means “little donkey.”

        I thought a burrocracy was a government controlled by the American Democratic party.

          Just like anarchy is a government controlled by the republicans? :p
          No, I tell a lie. Its a fundamentalist police state. So now we’ve got ALL the stereotypes out of the way… :p

            I’m… pretty sure the “burrocracy” crack was just meant to be a joke on the party symbol, not an actual political comment.

            Well I was only teasing in my response anyway. But I admit, I completely failed to make the burro-donkey connection on that.

            I thought we were an autonomous collective.

      Especially when the bureaucracy is just a convenient excuse to avoid admitting that she wasn’t planning to grant their request until she was proven wrong about UNITY and Tip not really caring about Sweetheart.

      I like how they list the UK twice, proper letter writing must be difficult there!

        Miyaa: Twice? There are 8 headings which point to the UK address format thing, as well as Wales, which in linked to another section for some reason. And they still don’t tell you how to address a letter to someone on Tristan da Cunha.

    Next to the Sweetheart Puppies Wallpaper, this is the Skin Horse art I’d love to own the most… lots of Sweetheart, and Unity cheerfully discussing violence…

      Yeah. The equation determining webcomic popularity is popularity = (quality of art + violence) × number of fluffy dogs (or suitable equivalent)

      Both of these lovely pieces are available for purchase (although the wallpaper art is kind of piecemeal).

        Unfortunately, the SH book set, on top of my taxes, has nuked my budget for the foreseeable future… maybe someday.

    To be fair, Unity as a notary should have at least a -tiny- bit of appreciation for a properly formatted document… not enough to make up for some missed punching of course, but still… just a tiny bit…

    I thought you had to out drink the president too? That sounds like a very important part of the process.

      Perhaps the letter impressed her enough to waive it.

        This is Sweetheart she would never skip a step in the bureaucratic process.

          But what if the waiver is part of the procedure?

    Now that’s settled. Now Our Sweetheart can head west to confront Evil Unity and the biomass, and President Fancy can settle down and start writing that Sweetheart-slash-President-Fancy fanfic…

    As Yet Another Fantasy Gaming Comic would point out, “LAWFUL Evil!”

      Honestly, if “Chaotic Lawful” could be an alignment, I think we just saw it in action.

        Myself, I’m definitely Chaotic Silly.

    Hrm. Interesting. I’m ever so slightly disappointed we didn’t see the two Sweethearts in a margarita-drinking contest. Someone should draw fanart of that.

    That being said, this is also an acceptible way to resolve the situation. Realistically, Sweetheart being in power probably makes it way easier, since she wants the government to actually WORK. Just work in ways that humans find terrible.

    Gave her a clearance for an aeroplane.
    Ain’t no need to make a blood stain.
    There’s no need to cry, they’re a-goin’ bye,
    ‘Cause Sweetheart just a-wrote her a letter!

    Doesn’t matter how much fighting her friends can do.
    Don’t worry that they haven’t a clue.
    There’s no need to cry, they’re a goin’ bye,
    ‘Cause Sweetheart just a-wrote her a letter!

    Well, she wrote her a letter,
    And the format said what was needed and more.
    Listen, people, can’t you see she needs to get through
    To the West Coast once-a-more,
    Anyway, yeah!

    And the climax takes a tire iron to the knees again. I suspect Tonya Harding.

    I think that the president has accidentally left a space in her final word balloon. It should read “Government inaction.”
