The Mooby Sisters vs The Doobie Brothers?
aw poor mooby and her loving parent
Momby. Does the Director use she/her? Just curious.
Momby milkers. :D
Does Mooby know Dobby. And what would happen if someone gave Mooby clothing?
She would look even MORE naked. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5004
Ugh, I sure do recognize this dynamic.
There is no dynamic! She just forgets to visit! https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4729
Ooby dooby, here comes Mooby!
Omg. Mooby.<3
This interaction really recontextualises Moray as more of a rebellious teenager with her decision to stay separate. She just wants to experience what life has to offer outside of her parent unit! She IS making good choices and spending time with the right people! Whereas the Director just isn't sure it's WISE for her to be out (of range) at all hours and coming into contact with unknown elements... Especially the radioactive ones... They worry, you see!
Additional theory: the Director of Sentient Resources role didn't really exist until Moray was wandering around and people kept TALKING to her because they thought she was part of the Director. This would explain the "your job is barely a defined job and you need help" issue that Claire identified...
"Your *siblings* are at home all the time, you know." "Because they're literally a physical part of you!"
I feel like I need to go back through past pages to see if Moray(Mooby) is a different color or not. ~<3
Slightly brighter green than originally. Fewer white globules, and the dark green ones are rounder and more regular. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4923 https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5805
Does Mooby know Dooby
You listen to your mother, Mooby!
It’s a temporary avatar. Moray is autonomous. Am confused by the nickname as I am probably just old. Where is the director getting its’ inputs on parenting?
This is one instance where "they got the answer from AI" is probably the correct answer.
I'm now having Inappropriate Thoughts regarding Momray, Aurelia and Veronica meeting up and... having tea together, let's call it "having tea together" ifyouknowwhatImean
Let's not leave out Becky, because 😏 👌
“Have you had humans swimming in your tank again? You know what happened last time!”
Moray does not know what happened last time, because of what happened last time, but the Director has forgotten that Moray doesn't know, because of what happened last time.
“So help me, I’ll gloop out your mom’s mom!”
Jeph laughed out loud at this one? I would argue that he is but the first of many. :)
Mooby? MOOBY??? *BWAHAHAHAHA!*
MOOBY which rhymes which BOOBIE!
I'm such a sick person, a MILF Goo-Woman. What I just realized here is each "moray" is purpose specific. Can't wait to see the Protector Moray.
I'm waiting for the one made for sexual relationships and how that turns out. There must be a reason why all the Morays have female bodies.
And I laughed out loud reading it. (Aw MOM!)
M O O B Y MY SIDES
When your mum brings you shame Giving out your pet name That's a Moobyyyy!
Moray is a Moob
Mooby's bits go "woob woob"
Mooby's boobies are wooby?
Also the “Temporarily Autonomous Avatar of the Director” is clearly a TAAD, which rhymes with DAAD.
And like a true DAAD he just looms in the background, hovering behind letting the mom do all the talking.
Mom has FOUR hair bobbles! She RULES!
She can do maths twice as fast as Moray. Not, however, more accurately.
:3
This must be what Jesus Christ sometimes feels like having an omnipresent omniscient God as his Dad.
Is it a good nick-name? Mooby, Mooby not.
"Mooby?" Poor Moray.
See myself in the pouring goo See the light come over now I see myself as just a slime girl I watch hope to validate me...
If the Director glooped out a brother for Moray, he could be Mooby Dick.
[Those with a good visual imagination should just stop imagining right now.]
She should lean into it, and start calling herself Mooby Starr.
Mooby the Golden Calf?
She looks like a Mooby.
I've been arguing for years that beneath all the mystery the Director was nothing but a big ol' goober. Vindication tastes so sweet.
Or possibly salty with a hint of algae?
Now I'm I craving an Egg-a-Mooby Muffin
Careful, or you'll get reabsorbed. We wouldn't want that to happen.
"I glooped you into this world young lady, and I can gloop you out of it!"
Man... Booby?
She has some great songs: Bodyrock, Feeling So Real, Into the Blue, We Are All Made of Stars... ... or maybe that was Moby.
We Are All Made of Stars has been living in my head rent free for so many years at this point….
I am suspecting they made this avatar because of they looked into Emily's past +
Sounds like Moray would really appreciate some more [temporary] autonomy of her own...
"Mooby, mooby, moo!!"
"no, dear, I'm merely a temporarily autonomous avatar of the director": methinks the mom doth protest too much
"You gave me a pet name Which is not to say I like it..."
I always think of this song when I see that phrase.
I am very amused at the idea of a deep-sea being asking its creation if it has been getting enough sun.
Earlier in evolutionary history, pre-sentient Morays were supposed to rise to the surface and photosynthesize so they could come back down and be absorbed for their energy.
She'll just dissolve herself in the sea and then they'll all be sorry!
sounds like something from The Little Moobmaid
MOOBY
Mooby? More like MOODY!
First, there was COFFEE OF DOOM. Then, there was COFFEE OF MOOD. NOW...there will be COFFEE OF MOOBY.
hahahahaaha oh this is **so** good. makes the director feel a lot less mysterious :D
MILO: mother I’d like to osmosis with
When a slime girl's nickname Makes her cower in shame That's a Mooby!
Untold processing power, near-infinite complexity, and the parent-child relationship is exactly the same.
When your mom is a blob And they make-a you sob That's a Mooby!
Sung by the Mooby Bwoos?
Definitely mom.
"Temporarily anonymous avatarrrrrrr, you're embarrassing me!" "No I'm not!" (<-cheery, oblivious smile)
When you're blushing with shame At your Momray's pet name That's A Mooby!
For hence forth, she is Mooby. Oh gosh, wait until Liz hears that.
This is adorable.
Oh cool. The Director is a Kevin Smith fan.
Which is why I always say “Bless you”…you never know who is in the room…
mooby!!!!!
Mo-oooom!
The most human thing any AI could experience is embarrassing parents
OOOOOHOOHOOHOOHOOHOOheeheeheeheehee Mooby
Try not to crack a rib cackling, FC
MOOBY?

This. This is now my favorite strip. No notes
