I'm pretty sure Winslow's crush has reached critical mass.

Weirdly, Winslow's glow causes everyone else to dither as well!
(...maybe that joke only works in UK English?)
Made me wonder whether the glow was originally going to be animated? But I noticed the glow dithered where it overlapped Roko in the previous strip too.

Come on now, May. You gotta admit Roko is pretty cool, on top of being cute.

That's just an objective truth. It is possible to think someone is attractive without necessarily wanting to bone down.

I don't know - this seems a little weird given that Winslow's reactions seem to be based purely on physical appearance, a physical appearance that Roko still doesn't quite consider to be her own. I'm wary.

How does Winslow feel about bread? This is an important reveal awaiting us.

Just a thought. The iPod had a backlight. Remnants of the backlight code might have been migrated to his new body, and activated with his Roko "encounter". Without any changes to his code, Winslow will have a 10 second glow from here on out.
2019-08-20 12:52:28 +0000 UTC
Winsloko.

I dunno Winslow, if I had a sub-par AI body, I too would rely extensively on implements for my intercourse needs.

I think Winslow is probably the older of the two AIs as he was Hannelores companion for a long time before he got his current body. OTOH Roko has had her full-sized bodies for a much longer time and have much more experience with interacting with the real world. Can it work? Maybe. But I think they are in very different places in their lives right now that I don't think they will be an item.

Do robots have ages/maturity levels? Because Roko just feels much older to me than Winslow. Like Winslow seems to be the equivalent of a teenager in human years while Roko seems to be the equivalent of a 30 something year old.

There may be feelings between May and Winslow, but if there are, they clearly don’t recognize them, and won’t pursue them in the moment. I’m interested to see where this crush on Roko goes.
Andrea Andrew
2019-08-20 03:55:36 +0000 UTC
May's just salty that Winslow was crushing on Roko and not her.
2019-08-20 03:30:13 +0000 UTC
What? Winslow has a low-contrast blush mode?
WILL WONDERS NEVER CEASE?!?
BobC
2019-08-20 02:55:22 +0000 UTC
To be clear: May helped do unspeakable things to a watermelon using a human man. Sven consented: The watermelon did not!

... So was the Winslow GLOW actually happening?? Or was that just him being starry eyed?
2019-08-20 02:54:08 +0000 UTC
I found out she's an angel
I don't think she knows I know
I'm worried that something might happen to me
If anyone ever finds out

You know, you <i>can</i> reply to a comment directly, instead of posting such a comment on its own. It tends to make more sense that way.

Can I just say that while Winslow crushing on Roko is cute, relations between adult-presenting robot and comparatively young-presenting robot would be pretty creepy. Not sure why that is. Winslow is probably older than Roko.

Her store is known for its robust pornography selection, so the teenager problem probably isn't new.
Mitchell Sealy
2019-08-20 02:09:20 +0000 UTC
There’s an unmistakable Reginald head and, presumably, Beartato ears on one of the counter posters in panel 1. I’m gonna assume it’s advertising for Farmer Fruitley’s Fruit Snacks (http://nedroid.com/2019/08/farmer-fruitleys-orchard/).

BUT DOES WINSLOW LIKE BREAD THO???

May's discernment seems to be on the order of "Is it a physical object? Let's go!"

With the sudden influx of teens in May's store, I'm wondering if Sven is one of those "kiss and tell" kind of guys....
2019-08-20 01:59:43 +0000 UTC
She's an angel, but she can easily crush you like a small regular can as well.
Joel Bateman
2019-08-20 01:55:15 +0000 UTC
Between 4069 and 4070, apparently.
2019-08-20 01:51:26 +0000 UTC
Wait, how does Winslow know about the watermelon?!

I got the impression that they were copying her.

Oh, good May found the straggler.
2019-08-20 01:45:38 +0000 UTC
The glowing is a survival gadget from when Winslow and Hanners went spelunking
2019-08-20 01:44:55 +0000 UTC
Also, I’m wondering if it’s the same teen trying to get behind May because he has a crush on her?
