Same. I JUST noticed this. I desperately want it to be steven since then it confirms occurrence of "homosexuality" in A.I. ouo

Is it "Seven" or "Steven"? I'm confused....

Brad Knowles

Look back even farther. I call first. =)

Quantum Cat

i was hoping unionrobotics.net was going to be something more exciting than a link to qc

Chris Magnelli

Now i see that Liam thought of that joke before me. But I still get credit for using the techy-nerdy type name for them LOL

Kerin Schiesser

it wouldn't be "light" bondage, unless they were using fiber optic cables... Just sayin' :D

Kerin Schiesser

Someone, and I'm not mentioning any names, is WAY overthinking this.

I'm pretty sure it's a reference to the WeRateDogs twitter misspelling the name of a dude who disagreed with them: <a href="http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/theyre-good-dogs-brent" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/theyre-good-dogs-brent</a>

It is important to note that USB cables burn up not by carrying too much data, but by carrying (or trying to carry) too much POWER. To burn up three cables, they must have used them one after the other. To do it right, all three should have been plugged in at the same time, in parallel. That would have tripled BOTH the data and power capability. And probably blown their minds. I bet Bubbles was thinking they were hooked in parallel. Gives all new meaning to the phrase "hooking up".

Seven? Steven? (Panel 1 vs. panel 2)

BobC

Stephen.

Emerson

Next up: Fur lined USB cables.

I was wondering about that, too! :P

Dane Filemyr

Light bondage? No, that's when you use optical cables. :D

Fester's Lampshade

I'm not even sure I want to know what they do with the USB cables!

Adam Bell

Bubbles got some clothes!

Happy #3500!

dipique

Seven or Steven? (2nd panel)

Jason Doege

I think Seven's comment has given Bubbles the vapors. Oh my.

Caleb Lee

Bubbles looks good in street clothes.

John Ridley

Is Seven just blushing or is she getting aroused? Her face orb gets redder and redder.

Yes. Yes he did.

David Paul

Thanks for reminding me. I have a feeling that will whoosh over a lot of heads tomorrow though.

Rich Holmes

It does redirect to questionablecontent.net.

Rich Holmes

I'm kinda surprised you didn't buy "unionrobotics.net" and use it for another joke url

Waffliesinyoface

I misread the sign as Unicorn Robotics at first! A shame, as that would've appealed greatly to Bubbles. ;)

Chris Hewson

For everyone asking about Steven: <a href="http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/theyre-good-dogs-brent" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/theyre-good-dogs-brent</a>

...and Steven!

Cleo Schmitz

When will kids learn to connect their cables in parallel instead of serial. It makes for much safer coupling!

Andrew

"Does that count as light bondage?" Not if it's USB. Fiber-optic, maybe . . .

Quantum Cat

Seven? or Steven?

Steven?

Netbattler11

Seven. It's a "They're good dogs, Brent" joke.

Megan

so um, <a href="http://unionrobotics.net/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://unionrobotics.net/</a> Jeph I know you like to buy domains, hopefully you got your hands on this one!

Oh. My! ::fans self::

Lisa

So who went and registered unionrobotics.net, and what are they going to do with it? :)

Pat Allan

Is the Blue robot Seven or Steven, I'm confused.

Union Robotics: A company forced into a constant and bitter struggle with Confederate Robotics.

Paul Grodt

Cue joke about thunderbolt and electric sex...

MikeT

Right, and you know how families are made...

Abhayakara

There is a thing called a USB condom. Y'all should use one. <a href="https://int3.cc/products/usbcondoms" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://int3.cc/products/usbcondoms</a>

Are usb parts like condoms?

Drakoo Dreamer

Bubbles in panel 2: Yay normal civvies! Bubbles in panel 4: I never thought we'd see her boggled.

Czarzhan

So, what font is that on the sign?

Gary Walker

I don't disagree, but I think Faye is riffing on @dog_rates from Twitter. Getting the name wrong is part of the joke.

Gary Walker

Bubbles, are you wearing pants? Yes.

Gary Walker

That's gotta be terabytes of sex per second

Kyle Major

Faye says "Steven" instead of "Seven" in the second panel. Are robots gender fluid? I can't see why not, really.

Celine Chamberlin

OMG IS THIS A FAMILY COMIC 😱

Minzoku Bokumetsu

"unionrobotics.net is a totally awesome idea still being worked on. Check back later." 😉

Ed Marshall

Looks like Jeph picked up the domain on monday, I wonder if he is planning a site for it?

They should consider using multiple ports to load share (or maybe they were already, oh my!) Is multi port sex this world's tentacle sex?

Max D S

I take it you already bought the domain? :)

aetherspoon

Robotic French kiss by means of massive rapid I/O operations

Ting

Bwhahahahaha- Bubbles being shocked is adorable!!

Shawn K. Younkin

it's a good sign, buckles
