Well, all the hours in general have changed, except for being closed on Mondays. At first, it was Tue-Fri 6am-8pm / Sat-Sun 8am-8pm, then it was Tue-Fri 6am-8pm / Sat-Sun 6am-6pm. So I would just assume that the trend continues, and Friday's hours are the same as Tue-Thurs, and Saturday's hours are the same as Sunday.

I think she's just visiting the shoppe. Jim seemed to be against the idea of hiring another employee, so I don't think she's going to be working there. At least not yet.

Just as with humans, the heart rate increases dramatically, so in robots, the CPU usage would increase dramatically. If it were a combustion engine, the engine would be redlining. Under normal conditions in your car, the coolant circulates through the radiator and is cooled down, but if the engine gets too hot, it will escape through the radiator cap. So an android pumps coolant throughout the body, which acts as a radiator. But there is an adorable provision for venting excess pressure.

I have a bread box, and Roko's bum is definitely <b>not</b> bigger. Bubbles is pretty close.

I dunno, that's how I get when embarrassed or aroused - in a human it's adrenal response &amp; the capillaries opening up blood flow. in a robot, perhaps it's overclocking of the processor &amp; a requirement to vent added waste heat generated.

Joe

bigger than a breadbox, as it were, and shaped like an inverted heart!! me likee ...

Joe

I was planning to write something similar. it is amazing how tied up we get in these characters!! I actually sighed in relief when I saw that Roko still FEELS like Roko inside!! good job, Jeph!!

Joe

that's ok, I never read this at work!! 😂😂😂😂😂

Joe

Was Renee was still in there right then? 'Cause if she was, she's never going to stop ragging on Roko after this.

Clifton Royston

jeph pls never stop giving your AI characters blushes that go fweeee

Waffliesinyoface

Hooray!

Brian

hehehe fweee

I like how we are introduced to her fetish the first time... now its a beloved punchline.

John M Davis

And knowing is half the battle!

Easy - it is caused by overheating of the processor, which is caused by simultaneously working with a lot of data, with many threads interlocking. Similar to our own emotions/thoughts in these scenarios: "I feel that I want this, but also I don't want this because I'm scared, but also thinking about being discovered somehow adds to the arousal, and now I have to find something else to think about, and now somehow I'm thinking about elements of the periodic table and about how some of them are definitely sexier than others..."

It comes back to me that thousands of years ago, when there were still paperboys, and I was a paperboy, they would drop my papers off in the back doorway of a bakery, and I would sit cross-legged in the dark morning cold folding them and smelling the dough rising and the bread baking. It wasn't sexy, but it was warm and alive, particularly when smelled from outside in the cold. I can see how it could get a sexual charge. It is interesting to imagine what Roku's life will be like. She will be continually bathed in sexual delight, and will be selling the source of her delight promiscuously to a changing crowd of customers, all of whom will start as perfect strangers, and with whom she need never have any physical contact. I can't think of any equivalent human experience. I hope it works out for her.

I mean, who doesn't though?

Heck, it started out as just a bit of <a href="https://twitter.com/jephjacques/status/805081584164478980" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">shitposting</a>. And then Jeph just ran with it.

Peter Jensen

Well, if that puts bread in my jar… [what else would I be doing thar?]

Still not sure how embarrassment and arousal generate heat. I guess there is a fourth law of thermodynamics - physical entropy increases with emotional entropy.

Matt Grayson

How can we tastefully see that logo? Seems like logos are to be seen? Perhaps in outline form through tights?

No, it was always the neck seam.

Dean Reilly

I just wanna say, those are some nice buns in the second panel.

awgiedawgie

Well, at least we know she still likes bread.

Dylan T

WHY WOULD SHE EVER WANT TO DO THAT?

Bagge

Why would they put the steam vents in the chest? Didn’t they use to be in the ears?

Thisguy

Anyone else curious about their hours Friday and Saturday? No? Just me? Ok...

Caleb Hill

Oh my...

Kinda Squirrely

Well they do say sex is in the mind

SpookyPenguin

I think part of the reaction is from the anticipation. This is the first time indulging in the fetish in this body, since the accident. Given the right circumstances, even a small enhancement can have a profound effect.

Maybe find out if you can turn down the gain on the olfactory sensor.

Dean Reilly

I'm really proud of Roko for facing her fear and succeeding!

Elf Sternberg

Late at night, Roko locks the door and watches the Great British Bake-Off.

Max Kaehn

Bread sense still tingling. Tingling a lot, actually. Body seems to be working :-)

Bagge

This probably just made my top 5 favorite strips ever. The whole bread fetish thing has come a very long way for a joke that was initially just part of a one-off Patreon exclusive - and apparently not even something Roko was into initially.

Lucanid Landman

Bakery hours are legit

At least she’s not covered in flour or that icing you might use for breads.

Miyaa

I'm too well bred to respond to THAT sort of pun.

Yeast infection. She needs to install Anti-yeast software.

kaitou

I'm actually very relieved, and happy for her.

Sleepy John

I want to know what Roko 'sees' when she smells bread. I love the tea-smelling comics so much and I know Assam makes her (and Emily) think of bare-chested unicorn-men. The bread synesthesia might be NSFW tho'...

Douglas E. Smith

Interesting. They said the senses were only a touch more precise, accurate, sensitive, however they phrased it, in this new chassis, but she seems to be experiencing a really profound effect. Devil's in the details I guess.

Mitchell Sealy

Yayyyyyy!!!

Danya Michael

I'm not going to lie, I thought the bread thing was silly at first, but now it's one of my favorite character quirks. You're just that good at writing shit, man.

Erin Moriarty

Hope she didn't just void the warranty!

That Blair Guy

Will Elliot be ok!?

Am Queue

I guess we know the sensorium upgrade works!

Mark P.

Oh yay, I'm so happy for her!

New body with much more enhanced sensors, probably has a release for sensory overload. I think her fetish is just able to fully be realized and her body is uhm... compensating.

Carried with a x10 increase it seems!

Andrew Mitchell

Bad pressure seal on her neck joint?

Captain Button

Are bread-pervs one of the annoyances bakers kvetch about on their chat groups?

Captain Button

Oof damn. At least it looks like her kinks and senses carried!

R L

Fweeee bwead!

BobC

Love the little exhalation in the first panel as she commits to going inside. And yay for not having lost part of herself!

Erin Hartshorn

Good news at last.

Matt Grayson

Bread-perv.

drone r0m-3

She knead's to stop loafing about, and just hop on that Baguette

Lord Crusade

Finally!
