I really don’t see any romance there. Sweetheart and Mell have a great, non-romantic friendship, and adding Sweetheart with a crush to that screws that relationship up. Beyond that, I just don’t see there being any romance there, any moments(like today’s) that are romantic feel forced, like the creators saying “Look, see? Sweetheart is totally crushing on her!”
… crush?
You’ve never felt jealous when a close friend start spending too much time with someone else?
Doesn’t need to be about romance. We’re made greedy, we want our friends close. And dogs are always shown as caring about a ‘pack’. UNITY is part of HER pack, her new friend isn’t! =P
Hey, Robert the Addled:
Off-topic, but on Saturday you mentioned the webcomic “Worsted for Wear.” I’m not a craft-person, but it sounded interesting, so I took a look. I’m doing an archive dump now, and it’s really charming. I especially like the art. So, thanks.
Glad you liked it. I often go off and try the comics listed as ‘friends’ on other comics – NO IDEA how I got to that particular one, but it’s in my feedreader list now.
Is it time for werewolf Tip again? Sweetheart looks like she could use some cheering up and resisting drooling over werewolf Tip would count…. Wouldn’t it?
What’s this?! The word “like” appears to be lettered very, VERY subtly differently than the other written text. Bonus points for a sailor reference in same strip.
Inside reference. I was in town for a conference so Shaenon and grabbed some burgers. She was just drawing this strip and I was like “Oh oh may I please write in one of the words I’m helping?!” and she was like “Fine I guess” and the word was “like” in panel 4. I did my best to copy her style but I didn’t press _quite_ as hard so it’s a little thinner than her font. She was sure I’d forget which word it was but I DIDN’T!! It might only be visible to someone who was there when it was written.
Just look at that sailor’s arm!
He recently bought the farm!
The zombie’s indulging
In biceps so bulging!
Just look at that sailor’s arm!
When Remy delivers
Then Unity quivers,
Delighted at what she sees!
Moustachio’s glancing
At these two romancing,
But Sweetheart just moans, “Oh, please!”
A humerus present like this, is bliss!
There’s really no cause for alarm!
That Remy is charming,
So sweet and disarming!
He brought her a sailor’s arm!
Just look at that sailor’s arm!
Its owner just came to harm!
Those muscles ain’t teeny,
He ate his zucchini!
Just look at that sailor’s arm!
Jealous much, Sweetheart?
Apparently. I was really hoping they were dropping that plot.
Why?

I’ll admit to being a little weirded out by the possible Unity/Sweetheart romance. I always saw the relationship as a mother/daughter thing so…
. . . “Mell”?
Remy is just supporting Unity’s second amendment rights.
Good one
Nice stealthy pun there from M.

Ah, foreplay…..
More like forearm play…

I’ve been looking at it for more than a full minute and didn’t find any difference. Would you care to elaborate?

From Sweetheart’s tone, I think she means to say a couple things, not a few. *shudder*

Smooooth!
That lucky S.O.B, what I wouldn’t give for some time alone in a closet with U.N.I.T.Y
Pretty sure the cover charge is an arm and a leg.
A big hand for the little lady!
