Friends Being Friends

This is what Momo wants to escape: <a href="http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2952" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2952</a>

WTF is May doing in panel one? Bludgeon and shiv TaiChi?

Edward Justice

Dealing with people online is so much easier than dealing with people in real life. Online, you are whatever you say you are. In real life, not so much.

Legion

Perfect cinnamon roll comic. I feel all fuzzy-warm inside.

Willinwoods

The characters and story are wonderful, of course. And part of me is squeeing about these two being friends. But what really gets me about these last few pages is the disconnect between their emoji and their facial and physical reactions. It's fascinating that they can perform whatever emotion they want telepathically, but they can't keep themselves from smiling and blushing and relaxing their posture in meatspace.

nsfw, btw

SAM: "May-sensei! Teach Skullmaster the Way of the Blade of Honour!"

Ben Russell-Gough

I sense somehow that that tanto will become significant at some time in the future...

Churchill (formerly TeaBear)

I mean I kinda use emoji the same way 🤷

Francis

"Chip" in? I see what you did there.

Carl Fink

I keep imagining this but with roombas: <a href="https://www.oglaf.com/cockbats/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.oglaf.com/cockbats/</a>

Her emoji says "huh?", her message says "why?", and her physical face says "what?". Ultimate statement of confusion... Poor May.

David Paul

May’s face kind of says it all in the last panel.

Will Weaver

Oh! Hey, if May and Momo... Hrm... Should we chip in for the appropriate USB cables? <a href="http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3500" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3500</a>

Is May crushing on Momo? Momay might be an interesting thing for Jeph to do in parallel with Fayebles - Contrast a human/AI relationship with an AI/AI one.

Ben Russell-Gough

Called it! Well, almost :)

Jan Gampe

You never know; they're young; it may be a rest.

Rudolph Gerber

That panel 3 blush and smile ...

Peter Jensen

Musically, would a coda be like a refractory period?

refractory period = "down time" ;-}

Tai Chi Shinto?

I'm enjoying how Jeph is giving characters two expressions - Their emote on their IM interaction and their external reaction to the conversation. For all it's subtle, it's one of the more interesting insights into QC artificial intelligence and how they are more and more becoming a distinct culture from humans.

Ben Russell-Gough

For Dale's MRP? Who wants to see that? Eww.

Brad Knowles

You know how when you're fucking, you have to take a minute to not fuck sometimes? That's a refractory period

Cody Renton

Cockroombas seek out roosters and silence them with extreme predjudice!

Andrew

Bring pictures!

Andrew

Refractory period?

Brad Knowles

It's definitely some sort of martial arts kata. Maybe this is one of her non-perverse hobbies?

Ben Russell-Gough

Lolololol..... "They fuckin" I love you Jeph

Kyle Jenkins

im: &gt;:\ IRL: 😊

It was a dickroomba, not a cockroomba, you philistene

Cody Renton

I love the detail of May's tabi socks and her teeny tiny blushlet.

Asher Rose Fox

So, will May end up being Sam's sparring partner? That aside... Yeah, I figured that Dale and Marigold's continual banging would drive Momo out of the apartment!

Ben Russell-Gough

I’m kind of facinated by whatever May is doing in panel 1. Is it some kind of Knife Yoga? I want to know more about Knife Yoga.

William Cole

YEAH they are
