PANEL THREE IS TOTAL EVIDENCE

Stoodmuffin

...phrasing, thompson.

Alex Thompson

That post script got me hard

Alex Thompson

And as for Faybles, I assume they communicate - verbally or nonverbally - what each other wants and it is mutually satisfactory. The sexual organ is, after all, the brain.

Matt Grayson

There's a recurring character in Gibson novels, Rydell, who every so often just goes for it. That is, he makes sudden, drastic decisions on impulse and intuition. He is right maybe three-fourths of the time, often heroically. When he's wrong, the results are disastrous. He's an adventure novel hero displaced into a slightly more complex fictional universe. Roku and May are like that, only slightly less able, and displaced into a novel of (bad) manners, where there is no room for heroism at all. And now they are friends. This should be interesting.

Sending/receiving packets while wearing lingerie or mascot uniforms.

Myron A Barber

I assume we will never be told, because it's FAR more funny to guess. But I assume the real answer is: In tons of interesting and endlessly variable way, depending on their specific hardware configuration and imagination.

Bagge

I am still not clear how robot/androids have sex. Does it involve USB ports? I recall robots in past strips burning out USB ports in past strips.

Allow me to present panel 3. May looking like she's seeing someone walk on water, and Roko looking cute and asking May to be more informal. It's probably reading way more into that panel than there is, but isn't that basically how ships start anyway...

Somebody Else

That's a good question; I mean, there really isn't any hints of it!

Ben Russell-Gough

Friends?

Patrick Jackson

Rudy dammit.

Jason Zions

Poor May. Momo is probably the only one she knows who calls her by her name, xD

Chris Hewson

WHY.

Stoodmuffin

Fucking damnit I ship them now. I SHIP THEM. FUCK mY POO BRAIN. WHY. WHY.

Stoodmuffin

What next? I'm sort of expecting a kindly stranger (Spookybot) to tell Elliott that Roko has quit her job and is at a loose end. Why not be a good neighbour and spend some time with her and help her sort out her next move? Oh... and why don't you bring along some of your best fresh-baked bread? "Oh, and you won't remember us or this conversation. Bye!"

Ben Russell-Gough

If you have a hotdog, maybe get Ollie some iced water or something?

Thomas Boys

I don't know... Licensing agreement by her chassis manufacturer?

Ben Russell-Gough

Roko + May = FRIENDS!

Boots McGoot

"Babe, you absolute motherfucker" is a complete sentence, just one that relies a lot on context.

Dolan

The answer to Roko's question in panel 4 is 'yes' and also that this tells her a lot about May.

Ben Russell-Gough

I'm still so amazed. Jeph has created such a rich world that he can go anywhere in it and do awesome things whenever. It's like I want him to write about ALL his characters ALL the time. I'm always wondering about the characters not getting panel time. I'll bet Sweet Tits and Steve have been hanging out for months. Unfortunately, Jeph has only one left hand.

BobC

Why are you surprised Roko? May isn't the easiest person to like for nothing.

Brent Catherman

Goddammit Nappa!

Brent Catherman

Nope. She's just May - courtesy of Dale, when she was just an apparition in his glasses. <a href="https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2515" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2515</a>

awgiedawgie

No my Clinton Elliot ship has enough competition from Brun already no need to add new players

gatherer818

Good for Roko. Seriously.

Populuxe

Hope her hand isn't sticky

Ami

No, because then it would be a sandwich.

Dean Reilly

Hot Dog is Ursula's day job.

Dean Reilly

Sadly, I recently learned that the real Roko, as well as inventing ridiculous AI dilemmas, has been accused of a string of sex crimes. I don't know the details, but it still sucks the fun out if nerds freaking out about future VR hells.

Diptych

Awwww. Best of friends.

Bagge

Roko is friends with Melon; that's been established. Now Roko is friends with May... Roko needs to find new friends. Somebody introduce her to Elliot. While he's baking...

Thoroughly exploded. Yes!

Erin Hartshorn

May reminds me of the meme featuring the dog who goes, “Hi! I’m GET-DOWN-NO! What’s your name?”

Will Weaver

May doesn’t have a last name, does she?

Populuxe

Who does Basilisk look like Lady GaGa?

Headcanon: Hot Dog was originally just a dick someone started to draw on the wall.

Tim Eldred

I assumed it was a sort of grammatical contraction. Drop the "I" like that all the time.

Tim Eldred

I work in I.T. so I'm conditioned to respond when people utter things like "shit" "fuck" and "goddammit" at random

Tim Eldred

1st panel 2nd bubble: shouldn’t Roko’s line be “Turns out I couldn’t sleep on it.”?

Populuxe

Agh, Roko in exercise gear.

TMN

"Your friends call you that?" "Well, kinda. I *answer* to 'Goddammit'. 'Hey, Fucker' is more something I'm likely to call them..."

Czarzhan

Yes, Jeph. Ollie IS a hot dog. :) Cute, too. :)

I fleet it

mooviies

May, Roko, Clinton, Elliot, Brun .... that’s not a ship, it’s a fleet...

Matt Grayson

Friendship Tiers Stage 1: name Stage 2: buddy, pal, chum, or some other casually affectionate term Stage 3: shithead, asshole, etc. Stage 4: typically romantic pet names like "honey" or "babe" Stage 5: calling them "babe" and "you absolute motherfucker" in the same sentence

A hot dog is a sandwich.

Jamison Town

A hot dog has TWO pieces of bread around it...oof.

A sheep

HOT DOG

Jeph Jacques

HOT DOG

Jeph Jacques

I was gonna ask if we can reference Cosby jokes again now that he's in prison but I know the answer is, "No. No, we can't."

Jamison Town

Hot Dog is the new frontrunner for cutest

Erin Moriarty

Fuck yeah! Love this one Jacques.

Ken
