[[fluffy sits at the computer]]
fluffy [thinking]: Ah, finally, the last Unity is DONE.
fluffy [thinking]: Holy CRAP that was a lot of work.

[[fluffy stands and stretches]]
fluffy [thinking]: Yeah, from now on I'm gonna keep my stories brief.
[[Juni tugs on fluffy's shirt]]
fluffy: Huh?

[[fluffy looks out to see several Unity characters looking forlornly at it]]

[[fluffy kneels down for Juni]]
fluffy: Yes, Juni?
Juni [written Hiero]: fluffy, do you hate us?

fluffy: No, of course not! I love you all.
Zero [non-spoken thought]: Then why you do terminate our reality?
fluffy: I didn't, I put it in a spot where I can do many more things with it.
fluffy: I have many plans, ESPECIALLY for you, Zero. And not just Twitter.
Zero: Good. Twitter is mostly boring.

Sam [Hiero]: Later on, I was such a jerk... I don't like being thought of that way.
fluffy: Aw, you weren't a jerk. You were pretty frustrated by a ridiculously bad situation.
fluffy: I figure you eventually make up with Juni and Tanya, and your nephews babysit Thena and you're all good friends.

Sam [Hiero]: Oh, that's good.
fluffy: Well, yeah, I mean, there's a lot Juni didn't pay attention to, so we never really got your point of view.
Juni [Hiero]: So I was the jerk.
fluffy: Yeah, pretty much. Sorry.
Juni [Hiero]: ... breezing kessel ...
fluffy: Mind your language.  Entropy-mouth.

Tanya [Hiero]: So, am I a neutrois now?

fluffy: I don't actually know! Can't you just leave it to your imagination?

Tanya [Hiero]: I'm in YOUR imagination, hon.
fluffy: Good point. Clearly i should be sleeping instead of talking to myself. Good night, imaginary future space critters.
[[fluffy trudges off]]

[[The Duchess and the Womble arrive]]

Duchess: Hey, are we late for the Q&A with that "artist?"

[[The cast of Unity peers at the Duchess]]
Duchess: Well I'm not the one who violated causality this time.
Duchess: Oh wait, yes I am.
[[The Duchess looks over at the Womble, who is carrying four Melrose pups in its pouch. The Womble facepalms.]]

This is a very satisfying sendoff. Both of the last strips ended the series on a high point, both character-wise and universe-wise, but this is a nice sort of "face-to-face" goodbye for the characters. (Also glad to see what became of Sam afterwards.)

I like the Duchess' long gaze and limp wrist, very pretentious.

Thank you for Unity!

I guess the cast is small because they are your children, of sorts? If so, very appropriate.

I love the written Hiero. Beautiful.

Those were all the ones I felt like drawing at the moment. I wanted to fill the panel with as many characters from the series as I could but I was tired.

Thanks for reading, and for commenting!
