that moustache is just Sharpie

A Southie AI - now that is scary.
Ok, so it's Sharpie, but how does it keep moving?
it's sharpie used over a non newtonian fluid, it keeps reshaping itself. If that answer doesn't work then it's just good old magic
Got to wonder now - what are they drinking, and do robots have their own bars where they drink 3-in-1 or something?
sorry, but "get a cat" is the WORST advice to give someone that's lonely; cats don't give two shits about you, all they care is "is there food in the bowl?"... now, "get a dog", that, THAT would be worthy advice (and honestly, I'd expect that from you, Jeph, considering Shelby and all)
hey man, don't fuckin' diss cats
Why am I reminded of those "hacked" anti-smoking PSAs? <a href="https://youtu.be/qbCyPBZYdWk" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/qbCyPBZYdWk</a>
I'm torn between the loving and fearing the idea that Bubbles ends up dating cop bot. My heart is mostly committed to the direction of the Bubbles and Faye plot. But - the idea of Bubbles and cop bot....
For those wondering if we've seen this cop before: <a href="https://twitter.com/jephjacques/status/806290985282076672" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/jephjacques/status/806290985282076672</a>
Wait, if he's #1 Robot Dad and he's got an "open relationship with his job," ... the horror, the horror.
I would totally watch a buddy cop series starting O’Malley and Punchbot.
I don't Do Twitter, but I might just haveta start if stuff like that is there.
ROKO'S A SOUTHIE! This makes me happy on so many levels.
Robot Cop bar? Love it and love Roko's Irish accent when she gets angry. So perfect.
Roko Basilisk of the Boston Basilisks?..ooooh
If O'Malley was one day away from retiring, I suspect Roko would have killed him in panel 4.
Jeph, please give us Punchbot and O'Malley, terrible golf partners.
With this strip, Jeph is reminding us that 'buddy' doesn't mean 'friend', it's 'the asshole who is always on your case but you're not allowed to hit because they're always jolly and jokey about it'.
Are they "drinking" from USB power banks? I have so many follow on questions about intoxicating 5V power...
He says that she has a Boston accent but I couldn't help reading that as having an Irish accent.
Broad Scots works too.
Oh that reminds me, what happened to the robot tattoos?
Yeah, here's the thing: We've seen this in Momo too; that some Synthetics actually do have developed something analogous to a sex drive. Maybe it's because they're surrounded by humans, whose culture seems sex-mad but some of them do seem to want to have that close and total intimacy with someone.
Wait, does that robocop look like Punchbot? Does he have a side gig?
Nah, just a common chassis type.
I don’t know why, but for some reason my read O’Malley’s dialogue in the voice of Cliff from “Cheers”.
That final panel accent tho ^_^
It may be a sharpie mustache, but he's got the mustache spirit.
Wow this really is starting to resemble that scene from Brain Candy. I half expect O'Malley to enter the restroom only for a hundred dudes barreling out. And is it just me or did Roko slip into a New England accent? Maybe it's what's in that drink of hers.
So... are the "drinking" from USB thumb drive thingies?
Sooo.. . Pint-lisk or Rok-size?
Pintlisk. It makes it sound like some sort of Basilisk variant.
punch bots brother?
I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want to get crumbs in there
Roko's list of weird freaky shit she's into - holding hands
Does she become Bostonian when she's upset??
No, when she's upset, she forgets to hide her accent.
For a moment I thought that was Pintsize in a uniform with a fake moustache drawn on . At least I wasn't wrong about the moustache.
Maybe she didn't read his profile and just swiped right because Pint-size looked like a smaller, cuddly O'Malley
Is o'malley punch bots cousin?
Art (and mustache) by Robo-Dali?
I think that O'Malley's moustache may be a back-projection of a randomised sine wave on his face plate. That's why it's continually changing.
Roko is adorable when she blushes
Minor typo - should be "an oiled-up fuck weirdo". But good job! Love this one :) Is Basilisk going to be a regular character now? I sure hope so!
Sprays!
I want the groundkeepers story
O'Malley doesn't "golf" - he "plays golf" which is impersonating all the worst antics he sees on TV. Putting divots all over the driving range, throwing clubs, screaming at his (robo) caddie, driving a golf cart while (robo)drunk. The groundskeepers hate the drama, but O'Malley always comes back at the end of a "session" to help clean up the mess and he tips them, which the humans golfers never do.
She’s the opposite of hulk. I like her more when she’s angry!
