I kind of recall thinking that May's predilection to odd metaphors was defensive preparation against this eventuality. She would try to tell everyone about it in great and graphic detail, but in such an obtuse manner that only Yelling Bird would understand what she was saying.

I feel like they deserve each other. Both assholes who are "trying" to be better.

lmao, i can't imagine Hannalore having sex with Sven. who KNOWS where he's been? (many places. many, many places. just think of the potential GERMS, poor Hannelore might have a meltdown)

I could see May and Momo. Opposites attract, and they really do care about each other. I can't see Hannelore with any other human, as much as I would love for her to be able to. Her reflex to bodily fluids is far too strong.

'Maven' is also the name of Google's assassination AI work for the American DoD.

May will never be allowed to have sex because if she did she would immediately tell everyone about it in great and graphic detail, thereby opening doors that Jeph has discreetly kept shut.
2019-05-15 15:55:48 +0000 UTC
I’ve loved May since she was introduced. I can’t see May and Sven as a couple. Sven and Momo, maybe. Even Sven and Hanalore when she returns from her walk about. (Someone will have to introduce Hanalore to sex. I can’t think of a better candidate than Sven.)

I’m an open minded, liberal kind of guy, but I’m finding this human-robot sex thing is starting to get creepy. Particularly if the robot is not purpose-built for the task. Even then having an AI installed in a flesh-light is not something I want to contemplate.
Also, maven is an English word.

I wasn't sure how far down the cutting of letters to go. I originally had MaySven.. took out the S and thought Maven might be some character already in the canon.

We now see the next couple in Questionable Content: May-ven. In this we will explore Sven gaining some modicum of self-awareness and May learning to care for another being. Oh what am I saying, we are just looking at pages of these as May and Sven stand by a wall.

Does she even have a sister to bang, though?

Well, it's way better than Man or Men... Maen.
On the other hand, Svay is dangerously close to Svaye, which was a disaster as we all know.

We are calling this Svay, though, right?

Is it weird that of the characters on QC with effed up lives that Sven is the one I most want to see get their life together?

If Sven has fans, does that make us an Obtuse Clown Posse?

I am deeply charmed by Sven feeling the need to demonstrate how a bow tie might spin. (...shit, is this how he gets you?)

Did she like... stifle a giggle in the last panel?
Shit, even May is not immune to that Sven smarm-charm

Wait. Was May just subtle?
I've never before seen her kind of snark morph into that kind of subtle.

Panel four. May actually looks ... almost ... cute, in an insulting and condescending way.
Sleepy John

........ I feel like I shouldn't ship this.... But I kinda do. If only because of May's continual opportunities to clown on Sven

That circle gesture is real nice, Jeph. Good work.

His immediate look of "I must reflect on my entire perception of my own intelligence" in panel 4 is wondrous.
