Same, To Be Honest

My Husband-Person has become super concerned for Roko. (It's quite adorable.) I had to promise him you don't do overly horrific things to the QC crowd. ;-)
Damn, now you've got me thinking about real estate laws in QC. Are there AI-exclusive spaces that don't require kitchens, or is it considered discriminatory not to build apartments with amenities that accommodate both human and AI? Do AI resent all this space that's tailored to human needs over their own? Are there pinterest boards dedicated to making over unnecessary kitchens and bathrooms?
I love that Melon is just clutched onto Roko for all four panels.
Elliot and Melon would make a good counseling team: good therapist, Dadaist therapist.
It works! We have seen Roko snap out of her own problems at least two times to deal with or discuss Melon's weirdness.
Melon is so cute and so adorable and so sweet and it melts my heart and I want her to be my little sister!
Cooking a kitchen drawers' worth of paper clips for human guests
Is anyone else wondering which part Jeph is saying "Same, to be honest" about? Is it the part about lying to oneself about having human guests and cooking for them, or the part about kitchen drawers full of paperclips?
About lying to one'sself, I guess. Though all introverts know the pain of being fully equipped to entertain friends but either having none or not quite daring to ask the ones you have. I guess that depends in how big an introvert Jeph is.
Elliot has been a support person for someone before. (Or has gone through needing some support.) It would be interesting to find out what jobs he's had before, and whether 'baker' is an aspiration or a holding pattern.
Might just be from the pub. Sometimes they need a shoulder to block the way, sometimes a shoulder to cry on.
Melon lil'-sissing Roko is just beautiful
You can, in fact, have too many paperclips.
But who gets to decide how many that is? Is it not a matter of personal expression? How can someone presume to dictate such a thing?
Murakami reference?
And the zoning laws for apartments have not been updated to take into account people who don't eat and do not have to cook. In real-life Massachusetts, we found out you can't legally occupy an apartment that has no stove.
Probably because they assume if there isn't one you'll cook with a charcoal grill and either set the place on fire or kill yourself with carbon monoxide.
Paperclips? oh god it’s happening <a href="http://www.decisionproblem.com/paperclips/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.decisionproblem.com/paperclips/</a>
I like that game more than I should
Melon's unrelenting tight hug is a mood
SQUEEZE THE SAD RIGHT OUT OF HER MELON
How can a comic about AIs be so touching? Jeph is a great writer!
Hay she had a human guest that lie was a.... lie
You know, back in the day, Yelling Bird would intrude on a moment like this. Sigh.
And I was right about the reason Roko has kitchen utensils. Once in a while I get lucky.
I'll sometimes buy children's comics. "I should have some children's comics in my collection" I tell myself. "What if one day I have some nephew or something that wants to read my comics?" I dunno. Maybe one of these days...
This comic is more children friendly than some of the comic books I've seen in the possession of a child. So exactly what definition of children's comic book are you looking for? I mean, I know Hellboy isn't quite as bad as his name might suggest, but it's still disconcerting to see a little kid who's apparently younger than I was when I first said Hell walking around reading his comics... and, yes, I did say that word before I turned 16, but thanks for having a good opinion of me.
I feel like a "two kinds of people" comment would usually go here, but let's be honest. Nobody is quite like Melon.
Believe it or not, I have actually met a couple people who <i>are</i> quite like Melon. No, they don't have a job where they are covered in vermin, and they don't make baking soda volcanoes in their mouths, but other than that...
This is perfect, and I love them.
Don't forget the condiment drawer!
c:
I KNEW IT, Melon is a paper clip maximizer!! Humanity is DOOMED!!!
She and Bert would get along great. Wonder how she feels about pigeons?
In Elliot, I see the man I once was and aspire (with therapy) to be again. May he have better life experiences than I.
Please let Roko and Elliot use those cooking utensils
Elliot's hands guiding Roko's as she slices vegetables.
I often think of having human guests over and cooking for them, but I don't do it either.
I have a culinary degree and I don't even cook for myself!
Kitchen drawers just naturally collect utensils. Like how nature abhors a vacuum.

roku and melon.... mmm
Melon continues to have a fine looking.... bumper
The replacement bumper on my car is better than the original, so it kinda figures. Edit: And before you ask, my rear bumper was taken out by an EV driver who forgot he wasn't in "single pedal mode" anymore. People can get stupid when you give them automation then remove it.
I was wondering why Roko owned a vegetable peeler. and a melon baller.
I mean, the melon baller did live up to its name.
Elliot is a good man.
