6 | ** The arc concludes with [[http://skin-horse.com/comic/is-strictly-classified/ Dr. Lee telling Unity she's happy the zombie found a home]] - Unity doesn't buy it because of all the horrific imagery she had to endure while being experimented on, including [[ZombieApocalypse the Purple]] [[Franchise/TheSmurfs Smurfs]] [[Recap/TheSmurfs1981S1E24ThePurpleSmurfs episode]] where "[[HarmfulToMinors They bit Papa on the tail]]!" |
7 | * The "Once And Future" arc has the Abbess reveal [[http://skin-horse.com/comic/todays-comic-832/ that she was a member of Parliament-Funkadelic]] in the '70s, and thus uniquely positioned to counter Tigerlily Jones. |

12 | -->'''Piggie''': [[ShowerOfAngst I've got to roll in mud until I feel clean]]. |

14 | * The Emperor of the Undead... is Zombie UsefulNotes/EmperorNorton. He's gained quasi-immortality through the collective will of his people. |
15 | -->'''Zombie Emperor Norton:''' I prefer "extraordinarily popular delusion." |
16 | * Most of Sweetheart's attempted infiltration of a Mad Scientist asylum is derailed by Dr. Ao attempting to drive her [[{{Pun}} barking]] mad - but none moreso than [[http://skin-horse.com/comic/2015-03-26/ seeing the Puppy Therapy pups bandaged up]]. |
17 | * Nick (now human) has to fight other mechanicals to gain access to a VR system. |

22 | * In "Swiftly I Glide", Tip, Unity, Virginia, and Nick, pretending to be an Anasigma inspection team, meet a real Anasigma inspection team whose members are effectively the Skin Horse team's A-Sig counterparts. [[http://skin-horse.com/comic/for-a/ Nick asks his counterpart if he has an unrequited crush on his colleague,]] and his counterpart says the crush isn't unrequited - he and his colleague are HappilyMarried. Nick is dumbfounded - doubly so when it turns out his counterpart is married to the A-Sig equivalent of ''Tip''. |
23 | -->'''Nick:''' Y'know that mirror universe where we're all dead or evil? This is worse.\ |
24 | '''Tip:''' Mazel tov! Can I say mazel tov? |
