* Another Faye/Bubbles thing: in the very early strips, Faye speaks in a very formal and precise way and seldom uses contractions ("It has been a while since I got my booze on"), and only when she's drunk does she revert to having the same southern accent as her younger sister. Later on, as she starts to have relationships, her speech patterns loosen up, and after she's both stopped drinking and got together with Bubbles, she routinely talks in her old Georgia accent. However, Bubbles habitually talks the way Faye used to talk, unless she's upset. It's another of the things they have in common (along with seeing their loved ones get killed before their eyes: Faye's father, Bubbles' squad.)

Wrong spot.
** Let's add that, after witnessing her father's suicide Faye has since had great difficulty just interacting with men, much less having relationships with them due to the trauma. Dating a girl not to mention a robot girl is about as far from her father and the issues that come with it as would be possible. The problems that would and have colored all of Faye's relationships with men aren't going to come up much if at all.

Dating a girl not to mention a robot girl is first time Winslow was embodied temporarily. He's also shown an insecurity about as far from her father himself and the issues his purpose occasionally that come he in typical Pintsize fashion quickly covered with it as crude humor. It is easy to see that Pintsize would be possible. The problems find the body that would and was capable of far far less to be very confining once he had a taste of what it's like to have colored all of Faye's relationships a humanlike body. In addition, Pintsize can more easily identify and empathize with men aren't going the humans and humanlike robots around him better once he has a body similar to come up much if at all.theirs. That and not being able to get away with his antics as easily as he used to.

** Given that just before this Genevieve, an old girlfriend of Sven's had been just recently screwed over by Sven and was hanging around in the bar to "make him squirm", there's a fair chance Genevieve was the one who contacted the Vespavenger to go after Sven in the first place. Hence the real reason she was there was in the hopes of seeing Sven get his just desserts and decided to leave when it became clear she wasn't going to actually get to see it.

* Bubbles is the only character who has a distinctive font in her speech bubbles. It resembles OCR-A, which was one of the first fonts that was designed to be equally readable by humans and computers. This is because Bubbles is the first AI character in the strip to form a romantic relationship with a human: she is the embodiment of the bridge between humans and AIs.

* In [[https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3900 this strip]], Crushbot, who weighs ''several tons'' steps on a crate of bananas by accident and loses his footing, falling backwards to crush Roko who'd just exited Faye and Bubbles workshop. Roko's body is destroyed beyond repair and it's implied that the only reason her consciousness survived was due to the upgraded memory substrate she had due to her law enforcement background. Any AI with a normal substrate would probably have died and if it had been a human, they would have been killed instantly. Somehow everyone is unfazed by having AIs wandering around pedestrian areas in bodies that can easily kill humans by complete accident. One wonders why AIs are not required to inhabit near-human type bodies if they are going to live alongside humans. It was only chance that it wasn't, for example, Sam (a thirteen year old girl who frequents the workshop) instead of Roko who was the victim of the accident.

Minor clarification r.e. the timing of May's new body.
Changed line(s) 40,41 (click to see context) from:
* A frequently-mentioned issue for May was that her body was [[TheAllegedComputer shoddy, outdated and continually falling apart]], which was frequently PlayedForLaughs. In [[https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4348 this strip]] she finally has a new body and is delighted. Happy to be rid of her old body, she bonks her old body's head--which promptly falls off. Then the old body catches fire. While this incident is PlayedForLaughs, the fridge horror is this: Hitting her head like that could have happened at any time in the past 1600 strips or so. (Her body was introduced in strip 2710; as of this writing, QC is on 4356.) It happened literally the day her body was changed. If it had happened, the damage could easily have destroyed her mind substrate, and she would have died.
