So Bram didn't want to rule the USA himself? That shows an unusual degree of forethought in a mad scientist. Although expecting a gengineered puppy to do so shows some of their more usual habits of thought. :)
And she had a crush on Buddy! Awwwww..... ^.^
So It Begins (soitbegins) says:
Awwwww. I love panel 3, with Bram scruffling Sweetheart's ears...
(Tune and most of the words: "America" , Simon and Garfunkel)
"Let us be lovers; we'll marry and have fifteen puppies I've got some TNT here in my bag" So we bought a metric ton of bagels topped with poppyseed And walked off to invade America
"Buddy" I said as we barked at a greyhound in Pittsburg "Paradise seems like a dream to me now It took me four days to hitchhike from Canada But I've come to invade America."
Chasing all the buses, playing games with the faces He said the man in the evening gown was a spy I said be careful, his Osprey is really an A.I.
"Toss me a bagel, I think there's one next to the deathray" "We ate the last one an hour ago" So I looked at the scenery, he took his werewolf vaccine The moon rose over a missile field
"Buddy, I'm lost" I said though I knew he was sleeping "I'm empty and aching and I don't know why Counting the cats on the New Jersey turnpike They've all come to invade America"
(TUNE: "Notre Dame Victory March", Michael J. & John F. Shea)
Cheer, cheer for Sweetheart tonight! She's got her forces ready to fight! See her massive armies loom, Huggable wave of fuzzy doom!
What though their ranks be shallow or deep, Enemies will be scattered like sheep! Sweetheart wishes she could make A V-sign, for VIC-TO-RY!
ysabet hasuko (ysabet) says:
Awwwwwww... SO CUTE! Though I suspect we're in for some lingering guilt over Sweetheart's failure to rule America. Hmm; you think maybe President Obama'd like a second dog? XD
Megan Brunner (avid) says:
Well, hey, she's already infiltrated a top secret government beauracracy. She has access to a military chopper and a loyal killer zombie. If Sweetheart ever decided to keep that promise, she could get pretty close.
Maricruz Villalobos-Zamora (maki_p) says:
I can't believe Sweetheart had a crush on Buddy, but she is so adorable X)
Matthew Mather (madtinkerer) says:
Hmmmm... Does Captain Bram have a fatal illness?
@madtinkerer: Hmmmm... Does Captain Bram have a fatal illness?
Of course. It's called Science-Related Memetic Disorder, and it's always fatal. Sooner or later. Usually, right after you say "I am invincible!" or "And now, Mister Bond, you're next!" or something like that.
Unless you're popular enough to also get Joker Immunity, in which case it is invariably NON-fatal no matter what you do and what happens to you. Death rays, thousand-foot falls, nuclear explosions, you'll still survive.
@Megan—Well, hey, she's already infiltrated a top secret government beauracracy...(sic)
...which is chronically underfunded and has problems with various entities in the basement stealing office supplies. She has access to a military chopper...
...controlled by an avowed pacifist. and a loyal killer zombie...
...whose loyalty can be bought with the promise of sammiches or wanton destruction.
ysabet hasuko (ysabet) says:
I swear, Cap'n Bram's gonna die of a heart-attack over eating all those sausages, you watch. I mean, he's not what you'd call the picture of health and fitness, is he?
Cara d(^o^)b (carakaze) says:
Literally disarmed! :D
Alix Tierney (almaseti) says:
I kinda wish we could see how that encounter went.
Joyce Melton (halfelven) says:
Now she's mostly 'armless.
So It Begins (soitbegins) says:
I'd say she put herself in 'arm's way.
Arms are lonesome tonight ... Miss my left, miss my right ... This zombie got taken apart! In that Paradise town, Where some weird sh*t went down, We sure could have used you, Sweetheart ...
Oh, the fight was one-sided, an awful mismatch; Now my undead butt itches, and I cannot scratch! No, it wasn't much fun ... Please don't make one more pun! Unity's ... arms are lonesome tonight!
Indigo C (indigo) says:
One of the wolves has a disarming smile.
Doug Linger (xodiac) says:
Unity obviously forgot her arm-or.
Ronnie Simonds (ronrab) says:
Good thing Unity's an expert at unarmed combat.
Keith Marshall (keith_m043) says:
On the mission, all hands were lost!
fluffy <3 (fluffy) says:
I wish I'd been forewarned about this thread. After all, forewarned is forearmed.
Terry Smith (wcfan) says:
Meh! there's no arm in it!
Rob (rrreed) says:
Obviously when Unity was disarmed (@That Guy—Ha! Good one!), she had to foot it out of there in a hurry. She and Buddy had already got a leg up on a new plan, but it was on a kneed to nose basis.
It's just a jump to the left...
Bill Livingston (billfl) says:
apparently, Unity had to knuckle down, apply the elbow grease and put her shoulder to the wheel. Yep, you've really got to hand it to her.
It's all just a bunch of 'armless fun, until someone puts an eye out. Then it's friggin' hilarious.
shui lung (draconautus) says:
At least she kept her head when all around her 'were' losing theirs. Even now, she's still dis-armed and dangerous. One on one, I'm sure she could make a werewolf toe the line. Unity is capable of great strength of feets. I'm sure she r-ankled the werewolves no end. And after all, losing to superior numbers is no shin. "thigh" . . .
larry harpring (hyrral7734) says:
Lil' Ole' Unity was mutilated late last nite, looks like Werewolves of Alaska again...
Had she put her foot in it, she'd have lost that too!
Oh, and puppy Sweatheart is so cute! We really need to see more of her. What else can we reveal besides where she got that "always accesible aura of command"?
Sam Daniel (samhdaniel) says:
No problem, there's always the 'leg sweep'....
Ed Gedeon (eddurd) says:
Points to That Guy for originality.
(TUNE: "Heigh-Ho", from Disney's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves")
She sews, she sews, Suppose they're hosed? It shows! She'll re-attach Her arms and scratch Her nose ... (Who chose her clothes?)
She sews, she sews, This mission really blows! That canine band will lend a hand, With toes ... she sews!
Robin (fiddlerbird555) says:
Wouldn't a tube of superglue be easier?
Dave Van Domelen (dvandom) says:
Hm...just noticed the arc has changed from Dead Dogs to Big Bad Wolves....
Steve Ford (fordsfords) says:
Why did Peach and Apricot have to carry them home? Can't they crawl back on their own? (Then again, they would probably just crawl out for sammyches.)
Did I do Reef already? You know, in all this excitement I'm starting to lose track.
Tune: Place Your Hands
Oh sew your arms, on again Darn your fingers, with your toes And the townsfolk that got away Just let them go
Sew your arms on, sew your arms on Sew your arms on, sew your arms on Sew your arms on, sew your arms on Sew your arms on, sew your arms on
You know you cannot hide from what's inside You know you cannot hide from what's inside So I ask of you to help me through Try not to kill anyone who'll sue
Sew your arms on, sew your arms on Sew your arms on, sew your arms on
So lay you down, for a while Knit your body, glue your bones And I'll reimburse the survivors For their burned-out homes
So It Begins (soitbegins) says:
Eep. This is not good!
@Nate: After I realized that I'd used Elton John's "Rocket Man" three times in two months, I started keeping a list. Here's a tune I haven't used before:
(TUNE: Theme from "The Flintstones", William Hanna, Joseph Barbera and Hoyt Curtin)
Werewolves! Bloody werewolves! They infest the town of Paradise! Fairbanks Mights say "No thanks," But the lycanthropes will not ask twice!
Soon they'll Have infected half the state! Then spread To the lower forty-eight!
When you're Killing werewolves, Then you need a silver bullet! (And that's no bullsh*t!) Yes, it's a bad old time!
Johnn Reynolds (sleepyjohn) says:
Boy, Sweetheart, she was just trying to help...
Nate Cull (natecull) says:
Unity's the best at what she does, and what she does is... not the best.
Andrew Kunz (miyaa) says:
Unity really needs to pull herself together. I think she's starting to fall apart.
Nate Cull (natecull) says:
And she's normally such a hands-on kind of gal.
Take it from me, it's a lesson to be learned Even the good guys get burned Take it from me, see I would fix you up Install components you've only dreamed of Baby don't act so horrified You don't have to be afraid, see I'm qualified C'mon, dude, unlock this freaking hatch Got my crowbar, and an arm With thumbs attached
(TUNE: "If I Only Had A Brain", Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg)
Oh, this mission is no picnic! And now I've gotta fix Nick; You think that I'm too dumb ... Just relax, and don't panic; I can be a good mechanic If I only had a thumb!
Nick is feeling kinda sickly ... We gotta fix him quickly; The mushers soon will come! Though he's broken and careworn, I could quickly get him airborne If I only had a thumb!
I'll weld ... his wounded wing! His avionics I'll re-wire! Don't wor-ry 'bout a thing! (Yeah, that's supposed ... to be on fire ...)
Soon the throttle he'll be gunning! The werewolves we're outrunning! Just hear those engines hum! Yes, with duct tape and super glue What's f**ked up will be good as new If I just had a thumb!
Erik Waer (raistandantilus) says:
Actually, the problem here may be that Unity is all thumbs. Poor Nick.
Cara d(^o^)b (carakaze) says:
@Erik Waer: I think Dr. Lee knew better than to make her like *that*! (and most replacements come with the correct set of digits)
Paul Lenoue (palenoue) says:
What? No duct tape? Definitely not qualified.
