Yay, Hello

yay

Yay, Hello

Comments

Because she is many. The avatars and mannerisms seem vaguely feminine (not that AIs need be programmed with a specific sense of sex, Pintsize seems firmly omnisexual, interested in every conceivable form of carnal pleasure and many that make no sense to protein-people), but there's literally multiple parallel units so collective pronouns work if addressing the overmind. It's very confusing, but I don't mind confusing Sci-Fi, I liked RAH's Number of the Beast, for fuck's sake!

Sean

Um...Yay uses they/them pronouns in case folks forgot

spencer icasiano

I like how Elliot actually has a brain on top of all that muscle.

midwestmutt

Yay, has become a lovable character, imho she was creepy AF when she first entered the comic.

Richard Durrer

I'd take that as a "we suck tonight" band name. When you realize you're having an off night and want to claim deniability, reintroduce the band after every song with a different wrong name. Like, if my outfit The James Rocket were really sucking bad: "hey thanks for coming out. We're Anxiety Spittoon" "We got a few more, thanks, we're Victoria's Secretion" and so on.

James Roy

I love Yay so much.

Erin Moriarty

Or at least just master the skill of Not Giving A Fuck™

Churchill (formerly TeaBear)

Is on a diet and is angry with Eliot about it, according to those texts...

Stephen Wells

Noting down "Anxiety spittoon" as a weird Dungeons and Dragons item and/or a band name.

Stephen Wells

Yay thinks that's what she said :)

Stephen Wells

I wonder if Yay isn't trying to get itself frustrated here.

Frederick Ohlmann

fruit good.

Cley Faye

I hope Elliot’s Mom is like a towering giant still able to bench press the combined weight of the nurses at her retirement community.

Miyaa

Golgafrincham B-Arkers for you.

Chris Crowther

Honestly the problem wasn't coming down from the trees. Everything's gone downhill since that idiot decided fire was a good idea. Meddler!

Professor Harmless

I don’t know about the rest of you primates, but I’m shipping Yay & Hercules.

Miyaa

The barely-contained condescension and apparent frustration, even if it is slowly giving way to the start of genuine compassion, could be a barrier to rapport.

Shane Wegner

"climb tree get fruit" at my age? maybe "lie under tree, hope for falling fruit" I guess

R. Francis Smith

I love this comic. It's hard to be genuine with people, and it's hard to accept people when they're being genuine if you're not used to it.

Thomas Halpin

That beautiful Hercules smile

Jackson Mccreery

I love watching Yay make (or attempt to make) new friends. Or maybe I just like seeing Yay frustrated.

Populuxe

This from the AI who delights in making its relationships with EVERYBODY as difficult as possible.

Sleepy John

Bro I would love to climb tree and get fruit. Let me be primitive and not have the capicity to think about the state of the world.

I am the captian now

A few weeks back. When Elliot got sprayed by the skunk whilst shortcutting through the park.

Michael Boettger

I wasn't aware Elliot had met Yay yet....

Churchill (formerly TeaBear)

Just say "please, can I play with your cat" and work from there.

Bagge

Hmmpf. Even the trees were a bad move; no one should ever have left the oceans.

Alex Borders

Yaaaaaaaay!

Erin Hartshorn

I want fruits! XD

MercuryBuddha

Mm, fruit

Yes, Yay. We humans sometimes wonder the same thing. Thinking is quite overrated, and often gets us into trouble.

awgiedawgie

Yes, a clear nod to HHGttG fandom.

Andrew Mitchell

i for one would love to climb tree, get fruit, roots.

Yay's closing comment almost sounds like something that could have fit into Hitchhiker's Guide.

Ralph

No, it's in Hercules's affairs. Elliot is just the cat-caretaker.

Raphael Bressel

Hmmmm....Yay taking an interest in human affairs that have no AI nexus. I do believe this is the first time.

OldGoat

I think that's Elliot's mom.

Shawn K. Younkin

Hercules! Also, picture in background of panel 2- almost looks like Tilly. Probably not, though...

Hugh Eckert

That said, they're trying too hard. Big "I'm sorry I annoyed you with my friendship" energy. Also they totally didn't find out he was worrying because they heard the pacing. I don't trust them & Elliot should be slow to do so too.

Pejo

I really wish I could share my Hercules

The Shadow's Lair

Yay

Pejo

Hercules is looking less paunchy!

jimbo

Yay probably knows in helping Elliot, she will help herself as well.

Shawn K. Younkin

Hercules <3

SC

Pretty sure Yay is "they". Not just for the "we".

Ardent Slacker

Look when Yay's right, Yay's right. Let's go back to the trees everyone. But I'm keeping the guitar.

SpookyPenguin

Roko voice: NEEEEERRRRDS

Kristina Preusker

I'm surprised Yay would push so hard when Eliot keeps letting her off the hook. Her character is mercurial so I'm not saying it's out of character, I am just shocked.

Eliot's Mom approves.

Douglas E. Smith

::punches friend:: I AM TRYING TO HELP YOU GET OVER YOUR FEAR OF BEING PUNCHED!!! ::punches friend again::

Shawn K. Younkin

I think Yay Newfriend has become my favorite character.

Wolfger

Oh, we SO WOULD. Biggest mistake we ever made was coming down from the trees.

lilibat

Reject civilization, return to monke.

Jaron Mortimer

Yay does try, gotta give them credit for that.

MikeT

'JUST BE MY FRIEND, DAMMIT.'

Dean Reilly

Although this does show how the Newfriend continuum is becoming more aware of the sea in which they swim, and to become the unknown presence at people's elbow.

Michael Boettger

Weird way to root, but if there's any comic going where that doesn't matter, this is the one.

Simon Green

Big mood Yay. Big mood.

drone r0m-3

Sometimes it shows. Or maybe on some of their bodies it shows.

Clifton Royston

Hercules knows Yay will spoil him

Michael

yay with a neck seam, thats not something weve seen before

Tamara Macadam

Seems like Yay Newfriend is making a... new friend.

C-Cubed

Yay Newfriend. Relationship guru.

Michael Boettger

Honestly, same.
