hope this doesn't turn into Sam being adhd because that's not how coffee affects adhd people.
Love the comic though that AI's expressiin

Is it weird that I sort of want to see that robot butt?

If it hasn't worn off by the time Jim herds her to bed, he's going be REALLY mad a Faye. OTOH, if it has worn off and Sam crashes and burns, it'll be the most peaceful night they've had in that house in ages and he'll be giving Faye props for working the kid hard enough to wear her out.

I'm reminded of a Girl Genius arc (http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20070523). But then, your comic of Angus and the mocha (https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1122) brings to mind Von Mekkhan's reaction to Agatha's coffee later in that arc.

When Sam crashes, it’ll be Blue’s turn to comment in her faulty anatomy.

If Faye wants to "get" Dora, she need only tell Jim about this.

Most 14 year old girls I know would be just as wired after 3 bottles of Coke in that short of a time. So I'm not a bit surprised that Sam is acting that way. Her Dad probably restricts her intake of soda - and wisely so. He probably didn't expect her to start drinking coffee until she was older.

Dump truck full of dogs can be either really awesome or really really really fucking sad

There's a reason I own nitpicking.com -- I read these last couple of comics and think, "But a latte only has the caffeine of 2 or 3 bottles of Coke. Has Sam really reached that age and never drunk a Mountain Dew?"
Carl Fink

I was wondering the same. Maybe a shorthand for whatever they use as "bones" in AIs? Poly-organic bone? Polymer bone?

Gonna be phenomenally successful!

So, Sam acts the same way on caffeine as Strong Sad does after having some Sanka.

I may just be missing it but what is a "pobone"?

No, Sam, no! Poking the nice lady is NOT appropriate.

She and Emily must never caffeinate together.

The song is great, but I'm curious what in the strip brought it to mind? (I'm more of a New Math and The Masochism Tango fan myself, but Poisoning Pigeons in the Park is def a classic.)

To paraphrase Bubbles, “Today is Tuesday. My leg is broken.” OTOH, they clearly experience emotional pain.

For some reason, Tom Lehrer's "Poisoning Pigeons In The Park" is running through my mind.
(Go ahead, search for it. You know you want to!)

Is she going to answer the question about how AIs perceive damage because now I'm curious.

In Sam's defense, keep this in mind: The matter of whether it's okay to ask to poke at somebody's bone or not isn't exactly covered by Emily Post.

She was the same with Punchbot. The caffeine has just affected her orthography.
