If I was the person counseling her, I'd be making sure that May had a good body that had a GREAT upkeep plan, good rep on general usage and light-to-mid-tier physical labor, and had all the right number of human-compatible holes. That work in a human-compatible way. Okay, because it's May, I would also look into the hot-swappable genitalia, so she could do the whole futa thing the next time she runs into Sven...but that's about it.
Buy yourself a new ass. You deserve it. May.
Does her current ass still have that Signature from Punchbot?
Sven is doomed.
Aww.... I can't wait to see May in her new body. And to see what Sven's reaction will be!
You know, fighter jets have about the same number of orifices as people...
It will be interesting when she's eye-to-eye with Bubbles.
It'd be a Kodak moment, if anyone still made those.
I'm wondering if May's personality will change... if AIs react the same way humans do when body "swapping". https://scitechdaily.com/body-swapping-experiment-shows-how-swapping-bodies-with-a-friend-changes-our-sense-of-self/
People change, it happens.
May's not going to be a horrid little goblin anymore - she's going to be a horrid big elf. I can't process this.
A horrid ogress?
I think it's not so much that as she knows there are AIs out there who've done nothing so as serious as she tried, and they're still in May's position. It's difficult, sometimes, to realize you've paid for what you've done, especially in Western society, presumably there, too. That culture (perhaps others, too, but that's the one I know) tends to ladle out guilt by the bucketload, and one of the basics parts of that is you *deserve* whatever hell you're going through. Anyway, I wonder if that MX has changeable boob and butt size on it? Marigold needs some competition.
May is everyone who grew up in poverty or was raised by someone who did. "okay but what if I got this I don't want nearly as much instead because it's cheaper?"
Amen!
How was it not painfully obvious to me that Beeps would have tear ducts... Or.. is the anime sort of tears actually something like Roko's color changing abilities, and they're just wavy white lines on her face and there are no tears at all? Also, that smile of May's.... weary and hopeful... followed immediately by her and Roko just.. over it. XD I love this comic.
That's a brilliant thought. Built-in emojis. :)
I feel like this is the beginning of a beautiful character change for May. Hopefully still retaining all of her sass but I feel like this is going in the direction of her wanting to help others like she's been helped. Possibly working with Roko?
She's been trying to suggest someone else might be more deserving every time she talks about it. It isn't *just* a lack of self-esteem... it's also a selfless assumption that someone else might need it more, and deserve it more, so more good could be done elsewhere - which means she's earnestly wanting to do the most good. Someone will point this out to her eventually, and she'll have to be an ass to make up for it, lol
"...and the other brought you strippers!"
its a software bug, her face returns to default when crying
or would it be hardware? do AI have separate driver files to interact with their hardware?
Looks like she engaged the Pinocchio protocol.
I love Beeps' digital anime tears. Nice touch! Did the salesbot spontaneously sprout a nose?
May's face in panel 4 is doing a hell of a job conveying difficult mixed emotions. Jeph's really turned into an excellent artist.
Pay it forward, May, I'm sure there's a lot you could get done as a sexy Amazon - is there any other kind?
Srsly need a “hell ass” shirt
I would absolutely buy that!
Sign: "Buy yours a new ass! You deserve it!"
Butt's Disease: A Serious Affliction.
The pink robot lady sales person of this shop has a really high pitched voice in my head. Like anime squealing girl high. She is adorable tho!
She's going to get fancy, and she's going to grab Sven and beat the hell out of it.
None of my friends have ever bought me a new body
Nor was I ever offered one, and MINE is wearing out! :(
Aww, May...
The process will not be goober-free
Not after May allows herself to buy all the fancy attachments. And the vacuum joint cleaner, and extra joint cleaning solution.
You all and those cactii. Now that I see them, I can't stop seeing them.
im so happy for may. this hits home pretty hard for me. may's character development has been extremely believable in this arc. thanks jeph!
Monday, good, no chance of cliffhanger in the horizon, the story continues to unfold... unless a new story arc is about to drop tomorrow 😬
By the fates, Bob, can you PLEASE not jinx it?
She joked about being trash so often, she actually internalized it as the reason she doesn't deserve nice things.
I feel like the cause and effect might be the other way around tbh
Wait, did Ana just sprouted a nose? (Checking last trip prior), uh, yes, that’s a new nose, or maybe it didn’t read on the past strip? (Confused)🧐
Obviously she is lying about something.
Not to be picky, but there is one nose too many in the last panel.
looks like it
There are 2 more strips this week. Plenty of time to cut back to Elliot and Clinton.
You know what?! I will treat myself to a new ascot!
Tied for the best comment on here. (I'll go quietly now, occifer Raccoon.)
Please don't keep the body reveal to next week I NEED THIS
I love the thing in the back that just says "Buy yourself a new ass. You deserve it."
Tangentially, you can apparently buy yourself a new asymptote in this joint
You just won't be able to touch it.
"Why Would They Program Me to Feels!?"
Where did that nose come from?
It's telescopic!
YAY MAY.
I'm with Beeps. May's moment of acceptance was definitely tear-worthy. <3
That tv screen absolutely says "buy yourself a new ass" and no one can change my mind.
Oh, definitely it does. It may say _more_ than that on the ends of some of those words, but it definitely says at least that.
Aww man, why can't I buy myself a new ass?
IKR
The last time May tried changing bodies, she ended up in robot jail. I think her current reluctance to get a new one might come from there just a bit?
When Roko talked to the guy at the agency, he said that May was an odd case. Some, he said, just stay in a server rack, and some slip back to their old chassis. He seemed to imply that May's offense occurred whilst being disembodied, and she requested a chassis upon release. All they had was her current wornout one, and no money for upgrades or refurbishment.
May searching for any reason not to have what she wants, and finally accepting it. Man I needed this.
But what colour ass will she choose?!?
I'm sure this has been mentioned, but I would like to see a Hell Ass shirt :)
Thanks, Jeph! These comics really make my day!
I mean, May was already pretty cute, but now I'm ready for sexy May.
"dating"
Wow, she called them 'goobers' and not something like 'fuckstains' or 'douche canoes'. She's maturing!
Probably also feeling uncharacteristically non-misanthropic.
I see that as grabb'n, Beeps
She deserves it.
I know it’s probably the Migraine, the meds, and the storm systems, but I did tear up a bit at the very meme-able “I’ll let myself be fancy for once”
Steve apologizes for the onion cutting this evening. He will invite you to his premiere hosting of his new line of onion rings chips he’s releasing in 2021.
Please tell me that sign actually says, "BUY YOURSELF A NEW ASS. YOU DESERVE IT!"
Right side of the center panel. May accepting herself as worthy. Perhaps for the first time. Dammit, where'd this dust come from?
Forget the dust, I want to know who's leaving these onions lying around.
Is there a slogan seriously "buy yourself a new ass you deserve it" If so, LOVE IT
Everyone deserves the best ass they can!
hope may wears a flight suit at least if they can't have a jet
I love the goobers. Can we keep Ana?
Oops I already ship her with Beeps
D'awww.
F I G H T E R J E T
Uh, how do robots cry, exactly?
Probably not dissimilar to windshield wash sprays, but just trickling instead. Not sure about Beeps though, since her whole face is a screen...
You go, May. Buy yourself that new ass.
buy yourself a new ass you deserve it
Corporate didn't approve, but they fought for the permission to keep it as is
