We All Agree

Gold is an excellent conductor.

Ben McCandless

If they were Roko's, hed have to. Her new chassis hase nipples

Jamieson

Having worked in retail, I can tell you there are *definitely* people who find naked mannequins offensive, because they complained to me about it.

Charlotte Grubbs

I would watch the heck out of that movie/tv show. Though that might also encourage the shippers even harder. Quite the dilemma...

jimfromtx

I don’t know what’s in May’s heart, but I’m pretty sure it’s not gold....

Matt Grayson

There's another Faye t-shirt in his store: https://topatoco.com/collections/jeph-jacques/products/qc-robutts#

Nikki

OMG, it almost writes itself...

Nemo of Utopia

*snicker*

onitake

I've realized "Roko and May" would be a classic buddy movie, never mind shipping them: "She's a tough-as-nails ex-cop who left the force to work for robot rights. *She's* a down-on-her-luck ex-con with a foul mouth and a heart of gold. Together, they fight for justice!"

Clifton Royston

It doesn't have that Jeph scrawl, though...

David Pipes

No *female* nipples. Paste photos of indistinguishable man-nipples over just the aureolae and you're fine... because humans are stupid. Hodges' Rule of Thumb: do not expect reasonable from anything with a thumb.

That needs to be on a t-shirt

Lasphy

I think in this case it's just a brand feature? There are different brands of AI bodies, like there are different brands of... well, anything, and distinct feature of this brand is no visible nose. Of course every employee in the store would use the body of the same brand, otherwise it would be like constantly showing off your iPhone while working in the Samsung store. Or driving your Audi to the BMV dealership.

Evgeniy Semyonov

No nipples, no censorship.

If you're in that much of a hurry, there's one on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Portland-Light-and-Lines-Company/dp/B07MGHKPVH

awgiedawgie

You can pick your technician, and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your technician's nose.

awgiedawgie

Probably for the same reason no one censors mannequins in fashion stores if they're undressed.

how come you don't have to censor robo-boobs?

Peter McDevitt

anyone can translate it for me please

Back when she was just a hologram, she told Dale that it was $750 million.

Matt Grayson

I want 2 navels.

Joe

I always wonder how May came up with a few million as the baseline. The cheapest fighter jet in the US is a F-16 fighting falcon that costed $18M in 1998 ($27M in 2017).

DixonLu

It will be read as an instruction and lead to stabbings. Peep boob would also be read as an instruction, but no one needs to be instructed to do that.

I want a beep boob shirt. Anyone else?

CaseyAEC

i want two noses two big long ol' noses where do they go? side by side? front and back? over/under? who knows

neato

I'm still on my first "TEH" shirt, but I expect to replace it when it wears out. I'll take a "BEEP BOOP" shirt, though!

Jeffrey Nonken

I want a realistic AI body, but hold the nose

GhostlyYorick

Sweet! Dude!

Derrik Pates

That's it! "Beep Boop" with robot moths circling it, and chewed cloth revealing patches of circuitry underneath...

David Pipes

Can't have it. Too tempting to the robot moths.

it's an aesthetic choice! YOUR NOSE IS UP TO YOU

Jeph Jacques

When do we get this shirt in the store, Jeph? :-) I can't wear my Bearmonster forever...

David Pipes

He's pretty fly for an A.I.

Byron Hardie

That would just cause erections

Da Nargh!!

I wanna see what goes into the whole 'This AI body comes with a nose and this one doesn't' thing. Like, is the nose extra? Can you still enjoy tea without a nose? The people need answers!

The technician seems like a pretty ok guy

SpookyPenguin

I like the attention to detail that Roko refuses to look at what's happening because she's squeamish. Good continuity..

Dylan T

Roko in the last frame looks exactly like the single sensible member of the gang of lunatics in the middle of the Edgar Wright heist movie, right before the reveal that he/she is actually the biggest lunatic of them all.

Evgeniy Semyonov

Nice to see May all happy in the last frame :)

Kevin Symonds

The pet reindeer too?

Andrew

HA!

Dylan T

Is good to see someone not geting judgy with May

Tachpmg

Was at an art opening this evening, and ran into a person right out of the QC cast. I mean, she didn't go "loo LEEE loo", but she had everything else down pat.

BobC

Dude! Sweet!

HOT

Fart Captor

I like his attitude

ysth

Hands up if you spent ages combing the background for some tiny detail because you misread what Jeph meant by 'zoom'

Reyn Goldfur

What kind of dog is Ollie? what happened to your Pyr? i lost my Pyr (Janie) 2 years ago.,

Marty BlackEagle

This is part of fixing the problem. In it's own excellent way, it's the opposite of harsh.

Ronald Lugge

I love you for that.

jeff fearnow

Jeph, isn't that your hat?

Panic Blitz

It's never about the destination, but the journey.

Chris Gallaty

She's very well bred. (I'll go quietly, occifer Raccoon.)

Joseph Bonnar

I'm just wondering if this whole project of Roko's is her way of compensating for her own experience. Like, 500 people haven't already thought that, yeah.

Sleepy John

Repairbot is clearly an ex Team Rocket member

Ami

I've always figured it depends on how much money you spend. Like, you can have the off-the-shelf Steve-brand body, which looks like all the other Steve-brand bodies, or you can have something a bit more customised if you're prepared to pay for it.

Sam Johnson

I'm going to say privacy.

Shawn K. Younkin

Is she on the phone? Or just holding up her hand to give Mae privacy?

Joshua Thomas

I like this bot

JD

Poor May. She knows her chassis is bad, but having someone else say so bluntly is still kind of harsh.

Erin Hartshorn

Leea-ving AS A JET PLANE

Kinda Squirrely

Every once and a while I am amazed at the way this comic has transition seamlessly from being about a lonely indie rocker in his early 20s to being largely about robots fighting for social and political rights. It's awesome.

Samantha

One question I've always had. When an AI gets a new body, is it customised to look like their old one, like Roko? Or are they set designs like a car? Do they freak out when they see another AI that looks just like them, in the same chassis, or is it just a passing "Hey, looking good!"?

Joel Bateman

SWEET

The look on Roko’s face in the last panel (mainly her mouth) reminds me SO MUCH of Spookybot when they’re regretting rummaging around in Bubbles’ head a few months ago.

Bob Gilmore

aaaand that's what I get for not reading the footer text.

Buck Caldwell

Just slowly replace the whole cast with robots

Alcaria Swain

I like Roko being considerate and deliberately covering her view of the deconstructed (and declothed) May. Then again, who knows, she may be squeamish about the sight of disassembly, especially given her recent experience.

Buck Caldwell

Diagnostic Bot? Di-bot for short?

Summer Sudbrink

I want Repairbot to be part of the cast

Alcaria Swain

I wonder how the olfactory systems in the bodies work. It might just be the art style but it doesn't appear that even AIs with noses have actual nostrils.

Those two seem good together.

Matt

Wondering why some AIs have noses and some don't... Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Wow. I mean we always knew May's body was far from top of the line but I never figured it was THIS bad. lol

Dahlia Rose Israel

Looks like an AI version of Jeph?

Joseph Houk

Good question

at0m

Perhaps a robot hookup is in order?

Ron Braithwaite

Wouldn't do to have your advocate faint in the middle of your diagnostic.

Czarzhan

Why didn't they go to Bubbles and Faye?

I love the look May has in the last panel; I feel like her and Repairbot (He doesn't have a name yet, so, improvise, adapt, overcome) would be good pals.

Samantha Yeaman

Oh god, don't encourage her

Lord Crusade

I love Roko more and more every day
