Me Toooo

Jeph would never stoop to prostituting his art for mere filthy lucre!

So, is Jeph selling xkcd shirts now? ;)

Brad Knowles

...That's actually a practical use for it. We asked. We were answered.

Bagge

I'd pay for the third.

Joel Bateman

Maybe she wore the oven mitt?

Joel Bateman

WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE SEX PISTOL??

Shawn K. Younkin

Wait, but she can only give pinchy handjobs at best. Brings new meaning to snake bite... (https://www.sheldonbrown.com/brandt/snakebites.html)

Eric Rucker

I think that's just the pigs snoot but it's super cute either way

Dolan

...they are not wrong

Bagge

Agreed. :)

Joseph Bonnar

What is beginning to trouble me is the possibility that all human society is in fact a secret petting zoo for AIs, who actually run all the world's business but keep us preserved in our natural habitats because we are just so cute and fluffy.

Secret Petting Zoo could be the title of that sex tape.

Stomat

You know what, I really like that way of thinking. There is no reason why the imaginary petting zoo wouldn't be a paradise for the animals. Shame we can't visit, though. It's just a bit upstate, but it's secret. I'm sure mr snuffles will love it there, with kind people and lots of toys and animal friends to play with...

Bagge

Secret, not underground. You are free to imagine them paying taxes, undergoing inspection, and everything a petting zoo might do. They don't advertise, is all. Just as well, since they are imaginary as well as secret, and imagined by imaginary people as well as imaginary.

It's very punk

Bagge

That's problematic in itself. Animal ownership, treatment and transport is highly regulated for a reason. Several reasons.

Bagge

...but not sorry.

Bagge

But not sorry

MikeT

:O the horse is NIBBLING ON HER HAIR and the pig has the most gorgeous little smile I'm all out of squee today.

The Secret Petting Zoo, where an exclusive clientele pets the rarest animals using the latest techniques. If you want quantum entanglement petting with a Siberian tiger, this is where you go.

Dean Reilly

Ooh! Oooh! T-Shirt!!!!

Andrew Tate

But is it their final form?

Andrew

I would pay good money for a print of that final panel.

haggis_mchaggis

It doesn't have to be in a basement to be an underground zoo... just lack the proper permits.

Cleo Schmitz

I had forgotten about Momo's new 'do.

Mark

She can't have been having sex, there would have been more sirens and screaming...

Captain Button

Interesting that nobody even think about something as simple as sex (especially just with one male partner). May have crafted quite a reputation for herself. Really interesting to watch how it will play out in the end. May probably have some serious character development arc ahead of her.

Evgeniy Semyonov

I approve of marigold’s XKCD shirt

Colin

Honestly, I have all sorts of animal welfare concerns for why an underground petting zoo would be a terrible idea. And let that be a lesson - adorable does not always equal good.

Bagge

Possums, raccoons, skunks, frogs....

Joseph Erhard-Hudson

She did pet Sven's snake all right, 'mIright? hurrhurrhurr... sorry

Bagge

It was in the secret basement of the illegal AI fighting facility, but once that closed the petting zoo had to too; there's a certain atmosphere of transgression needed to support such a thing. The owner moved all the animals into their one bedroom apartment and May, suffering secret petting withdrawal, tracked them down.

ysth

"This fuckin' town"

Bagge

Momo, too. And her eyes in that last panel ! ! !

Elf Sternberg

What that's not google

alpaca butt

I WANNA GO D=

Minzoku Bokumetsu

Is it bad that everyone else is focusing on how to embarrass May, but I'm wondering if there's a way to make Marigold's xkcd shirt meta in some fashion.

Luke Stark

I know it's an "expected drama" violation, but I'd really just rather that May finally comes out of a situation happier than when she went into it.

Noise

Marigold is looking crazy cute....

Shawn K. Younkin

I don't think sven counts as a furry creature. he keeps himself pretty trimmed.

LH

Oh, she was petting something alright. Heh

Joel Bateman

I'd go to an all-night petting zoo fer sure!

Pete Hanson

Terry Pratchett identified the crime of "whitemail" where you threaten to reveal something like this.

Captain Button

this is too wholesome lol

The Shadow's Lair

its so nice and good.

Grant Swire

Big same, though

Adam Friedlander

Me too!!

Pavel Curtis

Just remembered Momo has a huge crush on Sven. This can only go well.

Seth Aaron Hershman has they she pronouns

Well I bet she patted something

Kyle Major

Well, they're not wrong. That would embarass May a lot.

John Fiala

There was likely, in fact, petting though...

Chris Gallaty

Not that kind of petting.

Summer Sudbrink

An all night petting zoo does sound awesome. Though I guess it would have to be nocturnal animals.

FoxDren

Marigold and Momo have literally ascended and become anime characters in panel 4.

Samantha Yeaman

If an alpaca determines you are smaller than an alpaca, they will rough you up. So I wouldn’t advise Momo to go to an alpaca farm.

Miyaa

May rather admit to sleeping with Sven then let them think that she goes to a petting zoo to pet animals

JD

I forgot how cute Momo is with the baby bangs.

Charlotte Grubbs

Embarrassing May does seem like it might be tricky

Kajsa Anderson

HERE WE GO THE MOMO DRAMA WOOOO

orangejuicenut

If this a thing please tell me

oh my god BABY

May secretly volunteers at a pediatric cancer clinic and actually offers wonderful help and assistance.
