Unity: Allez cuisine (2009/06/29)

[[Juni awakens fully. In the background, Hira is talking to the food dispenser.]]
Hira [Hiero]: Hello, get me what my Juni has for breakfast. Two of.
Hira [Hiero]: Thank you very kindly.
[[Juni starts walking back to its bedroom]]
Hira [Kajoshi]: I see that you are finally awake.
Juni: Mrghl. I gotta wash myself.
Hira: But breakfast is on its way! It will get cold.
Juni: That won't be an issue.
Juni: Also, you probably should have asked me first.
Hira: Why? What did I ask for?
Juni [Hiero]: Rosemary custard with a side of ape carpaccio.
Hira [Kajoshi]: I only understood "[Hiero:with]."
Juni [stifling laughter]: Well, you will have a new experience.

Unity: Dietary considerations (2009/07/02)

If you're curious, here's the sketch layout of this comic.
Hira [poking at the carpaccio]: This is quite odd. You eat this every day?
Juni [holding chopsticks, ready to eat its last slice]: No, just more frequently than anything else.
Hira: Why not have a traditional Kajoshi meal?
Juni: As a political appointee, I need to be careful about upsetting the rather large insect population.
Juni: [Ape] is high in protein and not too fatty.
Juni: Also, a single beast produces a couple hundred servings. They're large, docile creatures. Perfect for such a big population.
Hira [holding a slice up, peering at it]: This just seems so... savage.
Juni: Most Southerners would consider us to be the savages.
Juni [done eating the carpaccio]: We're only fit to be whores in their minds... simple, insect-eating, backwater hicks.
Juni: But that is not how we're meant to be. We must change all of that.
Juni: That is what Tsan died for.
Juni [peering at the food delivery chute]: You should wash up. I'll order something more to your liking.

Guest art: Torpor (2009/07/04)

Here are some wonderfully-drawn little Unity character mini-portraits done by Torpor, who draws the nascent comic Sound & Fury, which promises to be pretty interesting (and certainly pushes all of my buttons so far).

Dudes, dudettes, and dudes of varying and/or indeterminate gender,

I've been having a resurgence of my long-standing wrist problems lately, specifically that my carpal tunnel syndrome is back once again (unlike my long-standing tendon problems which have always been fairly cyclic for the last 12 years or so), and I don't want to leave people in a lurch again. So I would really really appreciate it if people would make guest comics and other such filler for a while while I figure out how to deal with this. I'll post pretty much anything people send, even.

Also, if someone wants to take over guest artist duty on Unity for a while, that would be even more awesome, although I'd prefer it be someone who can draw at least as good as I can (meaning the bar is low).

Love,
fluffy
