Time To Have The Talk

Is it really "leakage" if the coolant discharge is necessary for the performance of the cooling function, i.e. sweating? Sorry, I'm just trying to understand meatsacks, er, my fellow humans better.
I love how Faye is was 100% spot on with Teenage Anh.
There’s a kind of weird complimentary logic to the gangly-limbed bit. One does see gazelle-like fashion model types insisting that they were gangly early teens, because of course once puberty passes and the kid learns a little poise, that’s how they can develop.
Love Anh giving Fae the middle fingers in 2nd panel without even looking at her! That casualness speaks volumes of how their relationship has improved <3
Honestly, the composition of that panel is very well done once you sit down to look at it. Not only do the speech bubbles progress left to right but also the actions of the scene. Great storytelling there Jeph!
Faye will find photos of Anh in head gear & acne. Have we seen the mom? I hope the mom is nice. I can see the Dad arranging for the mom to be locked up somehow.
We haven’t seen the Dangmom, but Anh has said that she’s probably having at least one affair (and not in “good for her for getting away from dad” tones), so she isn’t locked up, and she isn’t nice enough to cause Anh to like her. I think we have to assume a full house of crap-plutocrat parenting.
I leak coolant several times a day.
Sweat is in fact coolant discharge. I sometimes envy hypothetical aliens that have a closed-loop cooling system. Hey, that's something that I don't remember in QC: actual extraterrestrial aliens.
Well, not *confirmed* extraterrestrials anyway. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4645 https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4788
The more Anh talks about her childhood, the stronger my urge is to punch both her parents in the face.... ...why the effing eff did her folks even HAVE a kid in the first place?? Were they pursuing some sort of federal tax break or something???? I've seen constipated dog turds lying on a sidewalk receive more consideration than what Anh received from her parents. 🤬
They needed an heir.
Let's do a poll! Who has the worst fluids? 1) Humans 2) Regular AIs 3) Moray 4) Pintsize (all iterations)
Definitely humans. AIs may vent some coolant, but they can do so in mixed company. If humans start evacuating fluids in the middle of a conversation, it can range from unfortunate to mildly criminal.
From the hit teletoon show “SixTeen” comes this show about the daughter of a trillionaire who has to deal with rough times of a teenager with only a maid to guide her. It’s “AnhTeen!”
Seepage
Do they also explain AI blushes and Fweee’s? Also what is the buttfor
storage, obviously!
Teen robots have gigaflop sweat.
Gigaslop?
So many great faces in this one!
Continuing to realize all of Anh's childhood was just trauma she had/has no context to recognize as trauma.
Can rel8.
Ooh, the double finger. Ahn can dish it out too.
Oh, she's always been able to dish it out. It's taking it that she has a problem with. In both senses of the phrase
Pain is weakness leaving the body. Tears are coolant leaving the body. Ab cramps are hilarity leaving the body.
Pain is just pain entering the body.
Oh such grace, Oh such beauty, And lipstick and callous and fishnets and malice Oh darling, You're a million ways to be cruel

Sorry about the bolts and rust, I'm moulting.
Woohoo! I'm caught up! the last year and a half has ben a LOT for me...
Welcome to the present! 😀
panel 2: change the subject change the subject change the subject...
The panel one Anhoge certainly is a paragon of grace and elegance.
Always! Except when it gets tired.
Well, SOME robots have a teen stage... https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4882
Well, Yay is… special
AI acne is, of course, the corrosion that happens when overheated coolant gas escapes often from the neck seams (making that characteristic, oh-so-embarrassing "FWEEE!" sound).
I love Anh just casually flipping Faye off as she changes the subject 😆 She's come so far already 🥹
She was so casual I didn't even notice it my first read through. Jeph's hand drawing has been pretty sharp lately--Anh here, Liz while making fun of interpretive dance in #5785.
I hate it when I accidentally discharge my coolant when I'm sitting in my office with my pants on. (When I'm sitting in my office with my pants OFF it's fine.)
We need to make "discharge my coolant" a shibboleth. Who's with me?
i wish AI were neat weirdos instead of whatever the hell we have
We all need the leakage talk
…yet they gloss over the topic of extra storage
Better health lessons than many schools these days
