Spookybot looks at the moon, sighs, and says "Yep. Simply *covered* in footprints. Do you have any idea how hard it is to get lunar dust out of a silk carpet?"

I like how, despite how awkward this whole thing has been for Roko, she's still way happier than she ever was as a cop. I just want her to be happy and integrate with the rest of the cast now! :D

Please make asking spookybot about the moon landing one of our options for the bonus comic next month. :-)

Spookybot's attention is not something to be drawn lightly ... although they seem to have a certain affection for Roko.

Ahhhaaha (awkward laugh) she plays that joke so straight she'd be a good comedian

I'm slightly disappointed to realize that they were NOT in fact, holding hands in the first panel because they're too cute

Even better, Spookybot might get Pintsize to answer!

Asimov avoided aliens because John W. Campbell would always want humans to be superior to them somehow.

Roko's expression in the last panel is complex and charming.

God damn it, I have read that story and can't recall the title or author. It sounds vaguely Asimov, but I don't think he would throw in extraterrestrials. I am getting a vague image of an Ace paperback with a moonscape and large machine on the cover, but I can't make out the title.

Is the UVRPAA for humanlike AIs to adopt dogs, or for dog AIs to adopt pets that look like humans?

Roko, you're friends with Melon, you can handle this weirdness.
