Here's a (possibly terrible) idea: an absurdist week of QC where the alt-text (e.g. *pigeons immediately fire their lasers*) is a real last comic panel. I think it's even odds whether earth survives by week's end, depending largely on whether Pint Size makes an appearance...

Adam Grove

I love pigeons! <3

Lee B.

He wouldn't need to charge for so long if he used a 10W charger instead of the 5W charger. :D

Brian English

Way back in 3551

Michael Boettger

It's funny that his model has nipple, but no bellybutton. :)

Shawn K. Younkin

Passion can wait until tomorrow

Bagge

Room temperature superconductors, right? :-)

David Pipes

The only thing that's ever bothered me about the robots in the QC universe is the fact that they seem to charge up with cable that's something like 22 gauge. Even military models which have demonstrated immense strength or powerful lasers charge with these flimsy cables. Either they charge very slowly or that cable is getting very hot!

Sean

I will happily second this.

Julienne Ignace

I completely and totally get Winslow on this. Not all recharging comes from a cable.

Hugh Eckert

One person's growth experience is another person's major trauma.

Clifton Royston

And Roko has the Beep/boop shirt. Is there a whole specialized AI fashion industry out t hff ere?

Michael Boettger

The nipples seem EXTRA superfluous. Or... are THEY the ports for the “non-standard charging adapters?” :-O

Bob Gilmore

Ye Gawds, poor Winslow is clinically depressed.

OldGoat

Pigeons may not be venomous like scorpions, but they carry a lot of diseases. Neither of which should be a problem for an AI, but it's best not to push Hannelore's recovery too far. One thing that could be a problem for an AI is their droppings. If it's enough to damage stone, brick, and metal over time then it's probably not good on an AI's skin and hair. At the very least it'll ruin his clothes.

his TOES

Except - Hanners is super rich...So surely if it were such a thing he would have one. Still it makes sense. I want there to be one now. I don't like to think of them charging / sleeping on the floor.

SARA J DAVIS

I'm imagining that more affluent AI's would have induction charging beds, instead of needing wall plugs.

Robert Wrigley

His underwear says Boop

Drew Basford

How did he get cuter? I didn't think he could get cuter!

gatherer818

couldn't agree more

Yola Leroch

the eternal passion vs pigeon quandary, we've all been there. good luck

jimbo

So now when they crap on your car, it BURNS THROUGH.

Ack

Yeah that’s a scary step to take. Good luck Winslow

SheepFace2000

Yeah, they look calm and peaceful now but I'm pretty sure that those are the same monsters May was feeding spicy tortilla chips...

Thomas Boys

Heyy, Gunnerkrigg crossover!!

Don't get me started on why AIs do NOT need pajamas! Unless, of course, they're dreaming of electric sheep...

BobC

Pigeons firing lasers indiscriminately isn't scary to you? To each their own I guess. That's a pretty scary prospect to a New Yorker, at least.

Dev

That's City Face in the middle!

ysth

Awh, he has a cute pajamas!

Seidmadr

Pigeons are not scary, even with lasers (they suck at aiming). A family of flying jet-powered Roombas is scary, especially up close.

BobC

Perhaps he could raise and breed homing pigeons!

Dean Reilly

Pigeons are combat ready right outta the nest. Winslow is the forward observer humanity needs right now.

jeff fearnow

I just want to hug him forever, if he'd be okay with that.

Amy ☣

Winslow in his widdle Winslow PJs. :)

Czarzhan

Did he find his calling? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dq_rloyNBK0

Coo? Coup?

drone r0m-3

Maybe he can get his old mentor job back?

Joel Bateman

Such a wonderful soft boi

Mordaeus

Winslow finds his calling. Maybe he could help out at the AI foundation?
