"they're" and "them" in this comic is still unclear to me -- does she mean her parents? Or her friends at the coffee shop? And when was Winslow supposed to have been more assertive with "them"? And when did "they" consult him on the matter? (Sorry to be obtuse!)
2017-12-06 14:26:13 +0000 UTCTilly uses they/them pronouns. Singular they, in current parlance, still takes the plural form of the verb "to be," "are." "Oh boy. Tilly is a lot!" "I'm sorry I wasn't more assertive with Tilly, ma'am."

2017-12-04 14:22:35 +0000 UTCNeed to mod this comic to be an animated gif, then have the image and text on Hanner's shirt flip from "Dogs - They're good" to "Tilly - They're alot"... perhaps have the pic change too, but just a few frames, every so often. Fight Club style. Really bring home the subliminal work there.

2017-12-04 13:22:20 +0000 UTCOh lord. If this information finds its way to Brun, the puns will be dangerous.
2017-12-04 12:32:25 +0000 UTCI suppose "Ma'am-elore" isn't that close to "mammulae", the Latin word for "breasts", but I free-associated quickly from one to the other. BTW, if you didn't think it was possible to be rude in Latin, then check out this translation of the introduction to one of my favourite pieces, where the chorus of young men and women are declaring their love for each other in "forthright terms", as one coy program writer put it. <a href="http://www.duzan.org/gary/catulli_carmina.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.duzan.org/gary/catulli_carmina.html</a> Also, I love Winslow's expression in the last panel!

2017-12-04 11:04:07 +0000 UTCNot unless they're on Spookybot's level. (Other than Spookers, all AI's talk in square bubbles.) And in fact, on rereading yesterday's strip, I find Tillelore discussing childhood nicknames. Can't have a childhood nickname if you weren't a child, right?

2017-12-04 08:05:37 +0000 UTCWinslow has hit upon the perfect compromise. Tilly can call Hanners Ma'amelore!

2017-12-04 06:47:09 +0000 UTCThey's the they that builds the boat And They's the they that sails her They's the they that catches the fish And brings them home to Liza...
2017-12-04 04:51:45 +0000 UTCAlso I'm now wondering if singular they should use singular contractions. They's.
