Like A Moth To A Flame

So I guess Roko is pain-sexual? Eh? EEEH?

John-Eric Clements

This is just a weird running gag.

Daryl Sawyer

Degradation/Humiliation thing maybe? Plenty of people get off on being put down, as it were. Entirely possible it advanced from there to a more general connection to bread-products as a whole.

Reyn Goldfur

I just want Hanners to get back and hook with a comicized version of Sarah Longfield so bad

giacomo vaghi

Claire would be proud.

Will Weaver

Maybe Melon told him.

Will Weaver

Good grief Renee, stop that before you make Roko self-destruct...

Will Weaver

Theory: Roko's bread fetish is related to the established use of "toaster" as a derogatory term for robots in the QCverse. Discuss.

Gary Walker

"Nothing to see here; I am not in any way in desperate denial that I'm in the closet."

Ben Russell-Gough

Well, this isn't really Renee's scene, she just kneads the dough.

Dean Reilly

Hehehe, her face in panel 5.

Gillian Brown

I like this character. This is one of my favorite introduced characters. She has potential.

Paul Grodt

Oh? Doesn't the raccoon have her badge now?

It wasn't even a bonus strip. It is all (even the bonus strip) actually based on a doodle Jeph drew when bored one day!

Ben Russell-Gough

No, Pintsize was just indulging her kink in an attempt to get lucky with her.

Ben Russell-Gough

Wait. SHE has the bread thing? I thought that was Pint size?

Stoodmuffin

Would that it were so. But I (unfortunately) know that somewhere there is a person with a very specific thing for "rich white woman / wonderbread / deforestation / pollution" ... so much so that they have spent a lot of money on commissions of artworks catering to that fetish. On one hand, you do you and great that you're putting money in artist's pockets. On the other hand ... W.T.F.?!?

Peter Jensen

Today, Roko fails in 'inconspicuous'. No wonder she's never been able to qualify as a full-time detective! Now, a question to all: Does Elliott already know about Roko's situation? That's certainly one interpretation of his actions in panel 6!

Ben Russell-Gough

David Paul

Careful there Rene. She's got a badge and not afraid to use it to get out of an embarrassing situation.

Brent Catherman

Maybe she would like some TEA with that bread.

Bagge

This joke just keeps giving.

Bagge

Renee is bread-shaming Roko.

Populuxe

She likes big butts(of bread) and cannot lie

Dark Wulf

I suspect with AIs there's a synesthesia thing going on. Possibly when smells. We know that tea affects not just Bubbles but Roko as well (especially Assam, lol). I wonder if the scent of bread (in various forms) "does it" for Roko? And we also know that USB cables can at least be one conduit when robots do it with each other (Seven and .. that other holdover from the underground robot fighting operation, I forget her name). Are Arthur and Melon "together"? I thought they were maybe just roomies. But among AIs, like humans, I imagine there's a variety of different relationships they could get involved in.

Julia Allen-Hesse

Ohai...are you the John Duksta I know?

Nick K

I am really confused about this robot sex thing. Does all robot sex involve bread or is this just a fetish. How do Arthur and Melon have sex? Does it involve USB cables? And there is something going on with Fay and Bubbles. How is human-robot sex done? Melon seems to like Roko. If Melon and Roko had sex would that be adulterous? Would it break Arthur’s heart?

Philip D Jones

Love the perspective on Roko from behind the loaves in panel two.

ducksauz

I think I’ve seen every one of those Roko faces in an Oglaf strip at some point

FunkyTuba

When protesting too much backfires spectacularly

Dylan T

Don't make fun of Roko. She has kneads.

Gary Walker

Holy shit those Roko Faces.

Luzahn

I read the title as "Like a Mouth to a Flame" which sounds like super dangerous

Minzoku Bokumetsu

I'm thinkin Roko and Elliott should probably smooch

Fart Captor

Now I’m wondering if for robots with a flour/yeast fetish what they would do with a French croissant!

Waffliesinyoface

This is some good QC

Alex Mullenix

A pimpernickel...

kaitou

I’d personally be leaning more towards a scent thing, but that’s just me.

Ashley Robbins

Nah. She just got baked.

Greg Matyola

I think she had the fetish BEFORE Pintsize. The problem is finding the one strip with her and the toaster...

So. You have a bun in the oven?

Abhayakara

I swear every time I see an AI character vent steam, in my mind I hear that Majin Buu steam sound XD

Tim Eldred

I still have no idea how bread/toast is a turn on, but you have my attention Jeph.

Nicholas Lopez

Is Brun still there? If so, this could be the next shipping reef...

So does that make Renee a Bread-Dom, or a Toast-Mistress?

Andrew

I needed to read this. I really, really needed this today. :) Now I have a loaf of sourdough in the oven that's almost done... :)

that dating site that got them together was better programmed than I thought ..

David Hernandez

Puuuuumpernickellllllll.......

Lord Crusade

Pintsize has gotten her into a fetish. This is great.

Alcaria Swain

You’d think she was in the adult section of a video store!

Andrew

Did that robot just crumb?

A sheep

Her face in the fifth panel is cute as hell

Fart Captor

I like that the bonus strip has turned in to Roko's defining characteristic
