Body Language

Hahaha, ok that seriously made me laugh.

SilverbackRon

Oh my God, Clinton, you can't just ask people if they are custom

I am the captian now

RESISTANCE IS FUTILE

Brian Leahy

I appreciate how Roko's comment applies equally well to Clinton and Yay

WE ARE BOYFRIEND

Gaz

Sex maybe, but mental health discussion and cat-induced physical trauma? Great bonding experiences, for me they probably would have been enough.

Evgeniy Semyonov

Hold your horses gents, you just had sex with each other for the first time, you don't have to call boyfriends yet

Ace

they were born to be adorkable.

Joe

Cool? Without neck vents? Doubtful...

Leak

Oh good, Clinton is still a massive dork. Well that's all right then,

Cass

More frequent positive human interaction probably requires dialling back on the voice quality to avoid the uncanny valley.

Aleks

It's going to take Yay less than a split second of crawling through his social media to decide that keeping their multibodied existence a secret is still the best play.

Aleks

Yup, there it is. Immediately noticed the lack of neck seams. :)

Aleks

Clinton lost brownie points with Yay for the lack of Hercules time, but quickly made them back through the power of nerd.

Absentia

Poor Roko already knows about Yay's egomania.

Mark

Both? Both? Both. Both is good

Carin Maja Brooks

Yay is in fact very cool

Bagge

This is what I want. A cyborg body made to my own design.

HOW DO THESE TWO DORKS KEEP GETTING MORE ADORABLE

Fart Captor

I love the way that Clinton and Elliot are taking turns being embarrassed.

FeyOne

I just now noticed Yay's speech bubbles have gone from circles to squares. With some back track research, the first [square] bubble was on the Clinton/Elliot kiss page, so no wonder everyone was distracted.

Lightsabr2

Yay Newfriend is canon, though “Coolbody” rings well.

KCkittysnores

Probably when the lights come on. I'm near-sighted but I don't have night blindness. In low-light conditions, I see without my glasses as well as, or better than, someone with 20/20 vision.

Czarzhan

And we finally learned their full name: Yay Coolbody!

James C

Curse my inability to read properly. I read "Yay's ass"

Jackson Mccreery

For once, I agree with dick-tits here.

TwoRavens

HELL YEAH! THREESOME WITH THE SPOOKY-BOT!

Yelling Bird

I can't wait to see Clintons reaction when he finds out Yay is basically all powerful.

Ryan X

My name is Newfriend and I am your new friend I live downstairs I hear you taking out your garbage I hear you loving your BOYFRIEND

Diptych

So Yay would be on Clinton's exception list?

Alex Borders

Oh, come on. Clinton knows about the singular “they”. There’s no reason for him to think Yay is plural rather than enby.

KCkittysnores

Clinton's either going to pass out or level up his social stat by the end of this night

Dylan T

Clinton has no doubt noticed the pronoun and its significance. Meeting Hannelore has now moved into second place in his Nerd Experience Pantheon. Speaking of which, for entities trying to stay secret, they *are* kinda shouting "Yoohoo! AI community! We exist! Neener neener!" Or is it a case of "Being an Outside Context Problem means never having to say you're sorry"?

Matt Grayson

We are all boyfriend on this fine day

Are dee human or are dee boyfrrend. (Is that what you meant, or am I showing my age?)

Matt Grayson

Clinton's special interest+how socially awkward he is feeds in to Yay's... Yayness... Very well.

Just Jupiter (Chelsea)

The moment he realizes he met a collective conscious AI... He gonna pop... Again...

David Martelli

boyfriendss boyfriendss we had a little nookie now we're boyfriendss hey cool body, what's it's range

SpookyPenguin

Just "fascinated" or "obsessed and/or fixated"?

Andrew Mitchell

My head-canon? Yay not only designed it but they invented new manufacturing processes to make their bodies and they've hidden all the tech in an underground lair somewhere.

Andrew Mitchell

Auros, I think so. She found someone she resonated with.

Sparky

Isn't Brun kind of accidating one of the bots now, after falling asleep on her?

Auros Harman

This puts a new spin on the dopey pickup line, "If I said you had an amazing body, would you hold it against me?" For a robot "enthusiast", gettin' it on with multiple Yays seems like a peak life experience.

Auros Harman

Damn it Clinton. This is some Pandora's Box situation you just triggered.

R L

yay, new friend!

Tamara Macadam

My god Clinton. You are such a cinnamon roll.

Miyaa

I'm totally down for this fan-service.

Andrew Mitchell

Pure fan-service. Someone(s) in the comments said recently that Clinton's going to notice Yay's body and that it was custom. (Or I might be conflating two different comments.)

Andrew Mitchell

I like Clinton & Elliot. Brun needed someone else. But Yay & Emily + Elliot & Clinton seems possible. But let’s see it flow …

Sparky

Yay is Yay... all else ARE BOYFRIEND!!

Shawn K. Younkin

Clinton is the person most likely to be fascinated by Yay's actual situation

Thomas Halpin

Oh God no.

Shawn K. Younkin

Clinton grabbing on Elliot's arm to put around him is adorkable!!

Shawn K. Younkin

So, I'm not entirely sure which one Roko is concerned has encouraged the other one. This could go either way!

Brooks Moses

Of course the body is custom. Yay probably designed it, or hired the best designer.

Bill Marcum

Clint: Wow! Cool robot!

KingAtticus

Also THEY SAID THE THING HOORAY

Lana Del Prey

Roko seems to be happily approving of this latest development. At least in the first panel. Not so much by the third.

Michael Boettger

Very like inviting a vampire...

Kenneth Carlile

Easiest way to make sure Yay doesn't stay mad at you. Compliment their looks.

Joel Bateman

Boyfriends plural with each other! :D

Joanna

Absence of glasses

Elberik

YOU WILL BE ASS-IMILATED

Jono Hayward

I wonder when Clinton is going to realize he doesn't have his glasses

Elberik

Don't you mean a super Yay Eye?

Drazi

The two of them trading blushy faces. They really are meant for one another.

Lana Del Prey

I love them almost as much as I love their size dynamic

Hope

Yay is my favourite

The Bird

Are we human, or are we boyfriend?

Scott Gosnell

It's so weird to me that this is how Clinton meets Yay and not through his existing friend group that already knows them. But Yay works in mysterious ways.

fluffy

I support this plan.

William Karr

Not gonna lie, I'm gonna ask all new aquaintances if their body is custom from now on.

Spoogle McGee

And Clinton's curiosity has been piqued: hijinks ensue

Michael Boettger

Yay, a super AI but vulnerable to flattery

Michael

Hahahaha, I love Ya's sass

BioYuGi

WE ARE BOYFRIEND

Will Weaver

Better clear the splash zone. Clinton is sure to have a nerdgasm.

Elberik

Clinton would completely lose his mind if he ever found out who/what Yay really is.

JD

Yay is not above showboating a bit are they?

Michael Boettger

WE. ARE. BOYFRIEND.

Panic Blitz

WHY IS CLINTON SO CUTE
