Midnight Snack

"meat people" at least it's better than Pintsize's euphemism

Jeff Gedney

I think that's less about his legs, and more that the creases in his pants were drawn kinda odd.

jimfromtx

What's up with Elliot's legs in panel 2? is he a squid?

Darla Donahue

Snazzier chassis shenanigans is my guess. Though you also have comic 4185 where they're chatting with Roko and Melon, and they have square bubbles. Adapting to whichever company is present maybe.

Streb

Why are Yay’s speech bubbles round?

If yey isn't aware of everyone in two blocks, including their current heartbeats and blood sugar levels, I would be surprised. Or maybe they only have that level of awareness of dogs?

David Howe

LOL- Smelliot!!

Shawn K. Younkin

Aw, poor Smelliot. Yay, melon! And yay Yay!

Steamin' cup o' nut-wet, now with double the orcus chunks!

Beeps, probably. Most awkward that way

Bagge

This would explain so much.

Vianki Bruenderman

Is Melon in fact a dog driving a humanoid drone?

Jason Denen

So, which AI gets to bathe Eliot in tomato juice?

Sleepy John

Roughly 5 feet, by the looks of it

Kinda Squirrely

Eliot muses that he's never seen an AI who was into goth culture. Yay informs in that he hasn't seen nothing yet.

Sleepy John

Does Melon chase frisbees and chew on slippers?

Sleepy John

Like "Skippy's List"!!!!! This is an amazing and hilarious idea!

We need a "Things Melon is no Longer Allowed to Do" supplement.

Jaysyn

Elliot was 2 seconds from tasting space death laser!

Drakoo Dreamer

"Melon, no!" would be more apropos. Even apposite. Applicable, too. ...I can do this all day, Jeph... :-)

David Pipes

Guess that idea was skunked.

kaitou

Soon the comic will be re-named, "No, Melon."

Douglas E. Smith

It's inconsistent. Probably different bodies have different speech processors? For example, round bubbles in their first appearance: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3391

Evgeniy Semyonov

Doesn’t Yay normally have square speech bubbles? https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4185

Does Melon have a pet hedgehog? <3

Laura-Kathleen Redman

No Melon.

Matthew Van Gangelen

Oh please keep making me smile Melon.

Anne Welborn

Melon reminds me a lot of the old Pintsize. More goofy than perverted though. I ship Pintsize x Melon c'mon Jeph

Lil Dodecee

This is Yay's first recorded encounter with meat people since that time at CoD, isn't it?

Michael Boettger

And why would Yay be the one to go out and get them?

PixelThis

Melon.

R L

So pure

Bagge

Well, what DOES Melon want with a dozen mealworms?

Bagge

I was going to verb the noun "skunk" (conjugated like "sunk") to make a comment, then I realized all of the tenses were actually words, and not always nice ones. Decided to pass on that idea. But it was the only one I had. Now I have nothing else to say.

BobC

Or perhaps Melon <i>did</i> ask Roko to get them, and Yay volunteered to go in her stead. Although, it <i>does</i> seem that Yay has become pretty good friends with Melon, even if they didn't mean to.

awgiedawgie

Brun still has to get on.

Chuck Dee

He's sad about scaring the skunk that sprayed him. He's truly the ultimate cinnamon roll

Fart Captor

Elliot was nowhere near death. Yay is scary for what they *could* do, but ultimately harmless to anyone who doesn't pose some kind of risk to themselves or possibly someone in their slowly growing friend circle. Everyone else isn't worth thinking about.

Tinwhisker

We all think you're a bear, Elliot.

Nulgar

More like midnight snacc, amirite?

Ryan

Yay! running errands for Mellon... 😍🥰

Bryan Stopp

That particular body literally had nothing better to do.

Czarzhan

If Yay is willing to get them, I imagine that Roko has something to do with it. For example, Yay stepped in to keep Melon from asking Roko for them.

Sorastro

What impresses me isn’t that Melon wants mealworms in the middle of the night, but that Yay is willing to go get them.

Populuxe

By the way, Melon is still a genuine cute lunatic. :)

Joseph Bonnar

Jeph, thank you for a good laugh now and then. And Melon? No rubbing Clintons ship mate, that vessel has sailed.

Joseph Bonnar

What sort of tea trip would that send Melon on?

midwestmutt

Love is never having to question the need for mealworms at midnight.

Miyaa

Yay and Elliot meet! Wacky buddy comedy ensues, Yay gets Elliot into trouble, Eliot saves him, explosions, we finally meet Geisha!Yay and FemmeFatale!Yay, and nobody knows what's going on but Mellon. Maybe.

z

Oh wait. Just caught the shoes.

Michael Boettger

Yay is completely desaturated in color, aren't they? And just guessing, the mealworms are for Melon? And Northampton has an all night bait and tackle shop?

Michael Boettger

&lt; insert obligatory "I love Melon" post here&gt;

Anthony Gaglianese

yay and elliot meet! fuck yeah

Tamara Macadam

The mealworms are for the skunk. For a job well done.

Andrew

Actually got an out loud laugh out of me. Good job.

Yay, it's Yay! no I will not stop

BeatButton

We move from wacky A.I. hijinks to wackier A.I hijinks. I love this comic.
