Hee! Mitchell and Webb Title :-D
Was Renee was still in there right then? 'Cause if she was, she's never going to stop ragging on Roko after this.
jeph pls never stop giving your AI characters blushes that go fweeee
Hooray!
hehehe fweee
I like how we are introduced to her fetish the first time... now its a beloved punchline.
And knowing is half the battle!
It comes back to me that thousands of years ago, when there were still paperboys, and I was a paperboy, they would drop my papers off in the back doorway of a bakery, and I would sit cross-legged in the dark morning cold folding them and smelling the dough rising and the bread baking. It wasn't sexy, but it was warm and alive, particularly when smelled from outside in the cold. I can see how it could get a sexual charge. It is interesting to imagine what Roku's life will be like. She will be continually bathed in sexual delight, and will be selling the source of her delight promiscuously to a changing crowd of customers, all of whom will start as perfect strangers, and with whom she need never have any physical contact. I can't think of any equivalent human experience. I hope it works out for her.
I think she's just visiting the shoppe. Jim seemed to be against the idea of hiring another employee, so I don't think she's going to be working there. At least not yet.
Still not sure how embarrassment and arousal generate heat. I guess there is a fourth law of thermodynamics - physical entropy increases with emotional entropy.
Easy - it is caused by overheating of the processor, which is caused by simultaneously working with a lot of data, with many threads interlocking. Similar to our own emotions/thoughts in these scenarios: "I feel that I want this, but also I don't want this because I'm scared, but also thinking about being discovered somehow adds to the arousal, and now I have to find something else to think about, and now somehow I'm thinking about elements of the periodic table and about how some of them are definitely sexier than others..."
I just wanna say, those are some nice buns in the second panel.
How can we tastefully see that logo? Seems like logos are to be seen? Perhaps in outline form through tights?
Well, at least we know she still likes bread.
Why would they put the steam vents in the chest? Didn’t they use to be in the ears?
No, it was always the neck seam.
Anyone else curious about their hours Friday and Saturday? No? Just me? Ok...
Well, all the hours in general have changed, except for being closed on Mondays. At first, it was Tue-Fri 6am-8pm / Sat-Sun 8am-8pm, then it was Tue-Fri 6am-8pm / Sat-Sun 6am-6pm. So I would just assume that the trend continues, and Friday's hours are the same as Tue-Thurs, and Saturday's hours are the same as Sunday.
Oh my...
Well they do say sex is in the mind
Maybe find out if you can turn down the gain on the olfactory sensor.
WHY WOULD SHE EVER WANT TO DO THAT?
I'm really proud of Roko for facing her fear and succeeding!
Late at night, Roko locks the door and watches the Great British Bake-Off.
I mean, who doesn't though?
Bread sense still tingling. Tingling a lot, actually. Body seems to be working :-)
This probably just made my top 5 favorite strips ever. The whole bread fetish thing has come a very long way for a joke that was initially just part of a one-off Patreon exclusive - and apparently not even something Roko was into initially.
Heck, it started out as just a bit of <a href="https://twitter.com/jephjacques/status/805081584164478980" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">shitposting</a>. And then Jeph just ran with it.
Bakery hours are legit
At least she’s not covered in flour or that icing you might use for breads.
Yeast infection. She needs to install Anti-yeast software.
I'm actually very relieved, and happy for her.
I was planning to write something similar. it is amazing how tied up we get in these characters!! I actually sighed in relief when I saw that Roko still FEELS like Roko inside!! good job, Jeph!!
I want to know what Roko 'sees' when she smells bread. I love the tea-smelling comics so much and I know Assam makes her (and Emily) think of bare-chested unicorn-men. The bread synesthesia might be NSFW tho'...
that's ok, I never read this at work!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Interesting. They said the senses were only a touch more precise, accurate, sensitive, however they phrased it, in this new chassis, but she seems to be experiencing a really profound effect. Devil's in the details I guess.
Yayyyyyy!!!
I'm not going to lie, I thought the bread thing was silly at first, but now it's one of my favorite character quirks. You're just that good at writing shit, man.
Hope she didn't just void the warranty!
Will Elliot be ok!?
I guess we know the sensorium upgrade works!
Oh yay, I'm so happy for her!
Bad pressure seal on her neck joint?
New body with much more enhanced sensors, probably has a release for sensory overload. I think her fetish is just able to fully be realized and her body is uhm... compensating.
Are bread-pervs one of the annoyances bakers kvetch about on their chat groups?
Well, if that puts bread in my jar… [what else would I be doing thar?]
Oof damn. At least it looks like her kinks and senses carried!
Carried with a x10 increase it seems!
Fweeee bwead!
Good news at last.
Bread-perv.
She knead's to stop loafing about, and just hop on that Baguette
Finally!
