YAY IS SO SMUG.

vvvvvvvv

Every time Yay pops up I love them more and more Best metaphorical giant squid

dirtknight

Yeah, dammit, I got the pronouns wrong because I was thinking of Roko. yay for edits :)

Stephen Wells

I was extremely worried that Bubbles found the phone number **inside the restroom they're standing outside of**.

Ross

Yay has been becoming distinctive more feminine over time, but I think they are a they? In the literal sense of the word, since they have multiple bodies. Their first one was distinctly masculine though.

fx_in_mind

Yay's redemption arc continues to make me smile. And I'm at work.

Russell Guldin

"I'm being my best self." -"But you're terrible." "Yes."

Stephen Wells

Yay! It’s Yay!

Bethany Cramer

Hooboy, that asthma moment sure hits home.

Maurice Kessler

Smug Yay is best Yay. :)

Joseph Bonnar

Roko's reaction indicates that Bubbles and Yay dealt with it all over wifi; so Roko can see Yay just did *something* she's smug about, but doesn't know what she did.

Stephen Wells

That is a kind of West African rice. If the smell of tea and bread sends AIs to Unicorns &Fairies Land Jollof rice would fry their circuits

Todd Ellner

Am I supposed to be wondering if Bubbles called Roko to ask Yay or did she call Yay directly?

Mitch Megaw

She THINKS she is but she also tries to play two courses at the same time with … mixed results.

Mitch Megaw

The last hole in my area was always the clown's nose. Is the loop-de-loop last hole an Albany, or perhaps, a Utica thing?

ValdVin

*Daz voice* YES LET'S JOLF

Jeph Jacques

12 pack of New Coke? I'd pitch the ball into the bushes and leave... No sense risking making the hole...

David Pipes

LOL- it can't be Melon, nothing is on fire... yet.

Shawn K. Younkin

My Mother's Day is now complete.

Ruth Merriam

I think it is Melon because you save the loop-de-loop for the 19th hole where you challenge the players to ace (hole-in-one) the hole for a free game or a 12 pack of New Coke. (Yes, I have not played miniature golf since 1985.)

Miyaa

That appears at first glance to be a loop-de-loop on the first hole poking up from behind the bushes, but I wonder if it’s actually Melon’s hair…

Mad Marie

That hole looks like one from the Homestar Mini Golf place Sweet Puttin' Cakes

Ace of Hearts

I hope Melon is also involved and is surprisingly good at mini-golf.

Miyaa

I really would love to see an arc with Yay and Roko. It seems like we haven't seen them in forever.

Czarzhan

Wait, am I supposed to tip my waitress generously and also try the veal? I never can figure this out without being prompted.

ValdVin

Booooo! You didn't have to club us with a golf pun.

Ted Van Roekel

Jeph: can you make the next several weeks about the rest of the golf outing? Asking for a friend, who is me.

Mad Marie

Does that make these two “Jolf Jocks”?

Mad Marie

Yay’s reaction seems to be about par for the course.

Andrew

Yay! ~<3

Mitsuki Ayane

YAY they're back!

jimbo

Actually, it's pronounced "jolf".

Robert L

(Brun and Millie are the other ones on that list, btw)

Stephen Wells

I love the implication that the Matrix is just an AI on a mini-golf date.

SpookyPenguin

Emmett looks sooo friggin’ adorable in that first frame. Hold om sweetheart 😭💕

Freid

One day Yay will take Roko to meet their mother (meaning Aurelia, obviously) and then it'll be official :)

Stephen Wells

Ever since Roko told Yay they could move in with her and get a cat, I've had them on the "married for years without realising it" list. This nocturnal minigolf date is utterly delightful :)

Stephen Wells

With that wheezing, now I am worried about if Emmett carries an inhaler.

Captain Button

Yay for Yay!

Steve H

Emmett passing out: Averted

Onyx

Which is why Mario Golf & Tennis are quite diabolical.

Miyaa

Yay's first appearence: mysterious and powerful God-AI with motives beyond understanding. Yay now: dork who likes helping people and going on mini-golf dates with their not-yet girlfriend.

Absentia

Thank you, Yay

Bagge

Claire and Pintsize had an argument about thst earlier I'm the comic. Technology isn't quite at that level yet.

Absentia

At least there is no blue shells in putt putt

MikeT

We have seen humans with robotic arms and hands. I'm assuming there are other things that can be added to humans. Maybe robotics could help Clair with her gender problem.

Huckleberry

Yay has made a Contribution

Todd Ellner

This makes me so freaking unnecessarily happy! I am here for ALL OF IT.

S. Rune Emerson

Oooooh, they went for the unnecessarily powerful God AI solution. I really love what that says about Bubbles. - Full on mama bear already. I really hope Emmet or Sam don't find themselves in front of an out-of-control train or something, because the poor train doesn't deserve what Bubbles would do to it. - Willing to make Yay a favour to make them feel good.

Bagge

Mini-golf dates never go out of style

It's Lina

Them and they :)

fizzle snitch

Yay has just gotten BUBBLES to ask her to do some illicit shit. She is over the fucking moon right now 😂 stunning.

DaddyUmbreon

Maybe touching your ear-analogue while talking to someone who isn't present is a form of politeness

Nutjob

This is abusing power for good. I am torn.

R L

Indeed, far too long. Both Roko and Yay.

Rich Holmes

Just when I thought: "Hey, would be nice to see Roko again."

I could never have predicted panel 3, and yet, somehow, I NEEDED it!

William Cole

Yay is just happy to be included when clandestine data gathering is needed. They enjoy the simple things in life.

Tim Eldred

If I were a rich and powerful person, I would totally suggest a business meeting “on the golf course” and then give them the address of Monty’s Crazy Mini-Golf.
