Questionable Content

I forgot. When did that happen again?

I'd like this more if we'd gotten more than one or two strips showing Dora and Tai casually interacting after the fact.

A while ago. I recall they called the gang up to a bar where they shared the news. Claire immediately went "omg I wanna help organize", etc.

So I was rereading at random, and I've never noticed before that the witch who looked at Cosette's bad luck was named Claire, averting One-Steve Limit.

x5 IIRC, it was when Marten, Dora and Tai were talking about job stuff(it was related to Claire's librarian test), where Tai asked Dora hypothetical question of if she find job from other city, would Dora move with her and sell the café. Dora essentially answered, "heck yeah, 'cause I love you", which made Tai to propose to Dora on spot.

It was pretty adorable, not gonna lie.

Archive-fu

Edit: Here's the actual announcement. I forgot that there are a bunch of Marten-and-Claire pages in between.

The talk of ephemeral beauty on the previous page reminded me of this

Also while trying to find that again I found a version with a different part 3

The second one is the one I'm familiar with. It's very touching.

Another option: If you can’t be zen about the end of the universe, use it for mad science.

Eh. If it was that easy to blow up the universe, someone somewhere would have done it already.

Universe is a big thing. If somebody triggered the vaccuum collapse somewhere millions of years away, we wouldn't know about it because it would take it millions of years to reach us.

Basically, exact same scenario Hanners was worried about in the first place.

Wasn't that one of the scenarios on Exit Mundi?

Yeah, space is big enough that vacuum collapse could have happened already and the wave could have been coming towards us since before humans evolved and we'd never know.

And after our detour into philosophy and astrophysics, Butts disease flares up again.

Does this mean Mille-feuille's femur has already been replaced offscreen? That wasn't supposed to take as long as her butt implant.

I never saw the point in worrying about something beyond the control of any human agency. We can't do a fucking thing about cosmic events even if we had some forewarning.

Learning a bit more about Mille-feuille than I think I wanted to know.

She and Sam have met (Sam hot-glued her leg closed), but probably haven't been properly introduced before now.

"Human-standard" may be PC, but seems a little too vague as a reference to robot junk.

I wonder how much that adds to the cost of a chassi. It must cost a bundle, especially if it's not just cosmetic but comes with full tactile feedback.

Inert molded silicone would be pretty simple, but adding in features like sensory feedback sounds like it would get complicated and expensive real quick.

Consider that a robots entire skin is tactile sensitive and that is already insanely complex by real world's standards, but they are readily available consumer goods in QC universe. Sex-organ would probably have a higher amount of feedback sensors per inch than an outer shell, but I doubt it would even go anywhere near doubling the price of the unit.

I'm curious how much she paid for it and if it's just for herself or if she intends to use it.

Because May would benefit from such a thing.

May would probably even go for a regular ole fleshlight+ducttape combo if she could afford either of the components. But she doesn't even.

I just got the thought that we might not be dealing with a genital analogue.

Though that would just make me wonder if robots would have a use for an equivalent of that orifice.

I thought in this context it was just about having a butt.

Oh, I just got that the point of "human-standard" is to shift the concept from being "human-shaped is the correct way to be configured".

The panel is a callback to this strip, when Faye first asked Sam's dad (Jim, right?) about Sam's exposure to butt implants, so this follow-up question is clearly referring to robot genitalia (or anuses, I suppose).

Also, new strip. Apparently Jim said yes.

#4142: I love Millie's expressions. Amazing how much emotion you can convey with like 40% of a face.
