Makes Sense To Me
Comments (103)
Zlata should reexamine her mammaries, thoroughly, before reaching a decision.
I'm gonna be honest, I don't love this development. I feel like we've had a few too many storylines that revolve around "human or robot lady has big titties, hubba hubba." And we actually already did "robot upgrades her body to get bigger boobs," though for May, it made total sense for her character. For Zlata....I don't know. It doesn't make as much sense, plus I feel like we did this already. I'm not against big boobs -- quite the opposite -- but feel like the comic is too good to keep relying on this trope. I guess I'll wait and see how this unfolds.
How is Zlata’s jumpsuit(?) fitting her boobs like that?!
She's now the Zlata that Cubetown deserves, *and* the Zlata that Cubetown needs.
If you can rationalize your foolish behavior then clearly it is no longer foolish... that's what I tell myself...
I think she could discovered the orifice system control panel.
No. She’s just not there yet. There has to come an acceptance first. And it has to be real, and not orificial.
She does seem to enjoy casually bumping her arm into her breast a lot...
I feel like it's more that she's putting her arm into positions that don't encounter an impediment in the body she was used to.
Is a high centre of gravity useful?
Sure, if your goal is falling over.
But what I want to know is, will she still wear the glasses!
I think they are smart glasses keeping track of library business. External so she isn't receiving constant alerts and notifications.
Is the entire history of Questionable Content actually just an extremely slow build by Jeph to drawing nothing but voluptuous robots all day? Not that I would mind, of course. I just want to know where we're going.
Yes. Next question.
Sorta monkey-paw: It weirds Marten out and actually does end up making her feel foolish and serve as that reminder.
I'm going to miss her old body in the comic
Perhaps she could convert it into a planter, or a canoe.
I just want happy cheerful people being supportive
🎵 Happy, cheerful people helping her Happy, cheerful people helping her Happy, cheerful people support!
I liked her old one better. I mean didn't she pick it herself? It's not like May, where she had this cheap chassis. (But I liked even that better than Mays actual one)
TBF, while I liked May's older chassis style better, its bustedness (not to be confused with bustiness) really did suck, and no question her current chassis suits her and is what she wanted, so I'm glad she has that. I wish Sven would hook up with her again, though. They had fun, and surely enough time has passed for it to not be weird.
Old Zlata looks better to me. Of course, that's probably the point.
And that was the exact moment Zlata's old body woke up, right?
Hah. It’s all data, and she did ctrl-c and not ctrl-x.
feeling pretty bad for Z-1.0.
Will she also discover… the bread?
I am, once again, reminded of the final page of Mac Hall: https://machall.com/
Just occurred to me, is this like a parody of the female Nerd, female goth , or female nerd and goth takes off glasses and now she’s hot trope? Or maybe the tangent of nerd/goth/nerd-goth gets expensive plastic surgery and now she’s unnaturally hot?
She already wore contacts one day, and IMO was cuter than this.
Repressed desires? There's an app for that.
"After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it?" - Zlata Baggins
Does this mean a wizard will come along in a few decades and tell her she has to jump into a volcano?
I wonder if Zlata could keep both, and just switch back and forth whenever she feels like it. Like having different clothes.
Goddamnit, there was a story I read a long, long time ago about a society where people did just that -- they uploaded their consciousness into a robot body and swapped them out like clothing based on their mood and what they were doing. The protagonist is a fighter who ends up fighting a robot in his meat sack because someone's sabotaged his robot body, I think.
oh yea this one
Poor Zlata. I hope she gets some happiness.
Yes. We all know that she wants to internalise 'appiness.
Way to talk yourself into it kid.
Two questions: 1). Does this mean she isn't gonna wear the glasses anymore? 2).. Wait she's an AI. Why was she wearing glasses in the first place???
Smart glasses?
Giving definite 7 of 9 vibes.
As long as you say "I am no longer engaging in foolish behavior", then it automatically becomes true.
I have a statistically significant number of trials. and believe me, that doesn't seem to work for me. Your mileage may vary.
Just,.... walk past Marten - wear a perfume lightly that you have done the math on what he likes, just to gain the experience of being noticed by him. Then you can dump the chassis and go back to being you, at least somewhat satisfied at getting something from a moment of drunken madness. ( a decade of Marten being a stand up one person - person on the strip - its the best shes gonna get.)
Or better yet, go unnoticed by him, swap bodies back, and feel more noticed.
If your desires don't come out correct after the first pressing, you have to repress them.

I find her previous body to be cuter, although having a nose is nice.
But her old body doesn't smell.
Feel like Zlata deserves the new bod. With all the stuff she’s been putting up with as assistant to the librarian.
Probably, but I do miss the Zlantenna.
Waiting for Zlata to wonder why her hands smell like peanut butter and 30 weight oil, then Pintsize stumbles out of the bedroom wearing panties on his head, holding a jar of PB and saying "yeah, baby, you ARE a freak!"
I think Pintsize might have a meltdown if they saw Zlata now. Or maybe I'm projecting.
I wonder how they overcome the security issue of being able to switch bodies. Wouldnt it make it easier to sneak in?
Only if they rely on recognizing people for security, which is a pretty terrible method regardless of body switching. Access cards and entry codes or good old fashioned keys still work just fine. Or perhaps some sort of butt-transmitter based authentication. Hypothetically. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5565
It's like a Mechanical version of "The Substance," except I'm sure that, unlike there, this will all work out fine and nothing will go horrendously wrong.
Everything will go swimmingly.
She's gonna go flirt with Marty, isn't she
Absolutely. Without letting him know she's Zlata.
I wouldn't be surprised to see all of the other cast members cheer when they see her, because she probably agonized over doing it or not all night, out loud.
I sort of picture Liz saying, "Who are you and why are you bothering me?"
Whole Zlata Repression
Sounds like me trying to justify my Prime Day purchases, but her stakes are a weeeeee bit higher. Got Zlata! We got your back!
*stacks
Look, a new body depreciates 10% as soon as you walk it off the lot. You don't really want to lose that 10%, do you? No, of course you don't. Keeping it is just good money management.
self-deprecation has always been Zlata’s thing.
That's not a reflection of the light fixture in a mirror, it's an oil painting of a toilet plunger. Zlata is passionate about both fine art and proper bathroom maintenance.
Unlike Liz in both respects.
Her face in panel 5 is simply adorable!
Aww but I like Zlata's old look!
Me too.
She's got huge...tracts of data
First things first. A wardrobe update.
At least, she now has one less repressed desire.
When does she start calling the new body her "presssssioussss"
That would be a WEIRD thing for someone to stick in their pocket. Without her noticing.
How mature.
It's a nice body
Looking down on what is effectively my corpse would be way more unnerving for me than it apparently is for Zlata
Well, this isn't her first time switching bodies. She did spend a year as a hay baler. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5091
I kinda like Zlata's Nerdy Librarian thing goin' on...ohh well, the new doo is nice!
Phew, glad she got that sorted out! Sucks to be confused by your own facile excuses for repressed desires.
I have a feeling the next time Zlata sees Martin, she’s gonna wish she had remembered to check the optional repressed-impulse-control software update when she ordered this body.
It's a work expense you've earned it.
My, my, Zlata. What big… eyes 👀 you have.
The better to see how foolish she has been!
From the first frame I suspected he only wanted to draw her cause of her chest 🥲I'm worried about our robot friends never ever venturing beyond their color scheme
the stackification phenomena claims another AI
It's the lifecycle of AIs. They start off as virtual beings in a server, graduate to sensible and cost-efficient bodies, then after a set amount of time and an inciting incident, transition to bodies with big old jubbillies. After that, some transition to jellyfish and have offspring that skip the first two steps.
Oh, Zlata, it’s okay to want a new body! Sometimes that is just a desire sentient beings have!
*Glances down at beer gut and remembers that line about the power and beauty of your youth from Wear Sunscreen* Pretty sure EVERY sentient being has had it more than once.
im not a facile repressed desire, you're a facile repressed desire!
Please don't make out with your old body.
...Oooooorrrr...?
Then Zlata checks the return policy… and it’s already expired.
@Miyaa I assume opening the box voids the warranty.
No. No repressed desires. Not at all!
Not a single one. (They all come in pairs, anyway.)
She's definitely not changing back
Hmm, lemme think. If I had a chance to go from this body to a new one that happened to be young, muscular, tanned, and toned, and could do it ETHICALLY, what are the odds I'd keep my old one?
The NEW Zlata...
