Hercules doesn't need a diet. He just has a big head
The character growth of Yay is such a joy to watch.
A Para-Dong is an emergency air-dropped
A Para-Don is a sort of auxiliary Professor at Oxford University.
Since when has Yay developed a neck vent?
Yay has many bodies, they may not all be the same exact configuration.
I wonder if Yay knows where they are.... a comic...., as in Genre-Savvy.
I love Yay's eyes in panel 1, and that paw in panel 2
"Paradon"? :-)
I think that's supposed to be paragon.
Did Yay just flirt with Eliot? Or am I projecting?
I think they're more interested in the prospect of chaos.
"paradon" (panel 3): 'paradox' + 'mastodon' =an improbable creature, outdated by time and circumstance i.e a suave confident bisexual near-virgin
Paradon?
Uh... Is Elliot slimming up too?

I'm totally going to name an album "The Chasm of Romantic Farce"
The "chasm" of romantic farce is such an apt description.
Yay romantic farce!
CAT!!!!!
I can just see what would happen if Clinton met Yay, fanboy meets godlike AI. Faye might have to talk him down.
I'm sorta surprised she didn't offer to play the role of bread dough.
Now now, Roko isn't here.
I really enjoy Yay's combination of spot-on analysis of humans' interactions coupled with her inability (or unwillingness) to play by human social norms. She's being tactless in panels 2 and 3, and if she had previously established a pattern of communicating politely, it would be rude and insulting. But since it's her, it's reassuring. In any case, Elliot seems a bit reassured. In general I enjoy how Jeph writes a diversity of communication styles that reflect characters who process ideas differently from each other.
Super true! But also: Yay is a 'they' not a 'she'. Just a heads up! :)
OMG that side-eye Yay is showing in panel too. And their look of mischief as they deliver that final line. Amazing work Jeph. You just know we come here for our daily dose of romantic farce.
Did someone say 'Wacky hijinks?" Yay said 'Wacky hijinks'!
Reasonability? Is that a word? Is that a new word? I think 'reasonableness' would be more appropriate.
It’s a perfectly cromulent word!
Paradon: Accusative singular of Parado in the Esperanto language. Parado = stopped in Esperanto
Damnit, I come here for the questionable content, not life advice! 😜
Typo... paradon?
or paragon?
Yay is growing on me. Slowly.
Wow, it's got to be such an advantage to be an AI when playing with cats... claws can't possibly hurt as much!
Get it, Hercules!
At long last it's come to this, Jepf? Esperanto?
Sed kial la akuzativo en tiu frazo?
Funny you should say that, 'the chasm of romantic farce' is my wife's nickname for my -- HEY WHAT'S THAT OVER THERE
Well, since a chasm is a deep hole, I shudder to think what part of you that's your wife's nickname for.
Eight drunken Spookybots show up at the bar looking for trouble, to give Elliot the maximum opportunity to appear confident.
Each one has an obviously false disguise on.
Elliot, more adorable than the cat. That's hard for a cat lover like me to say, believe me!
Panel 3: paradon ---> paragon?
I was thinking the same thing. Did a Google and a paradon is a type of viola lol
Elliot, you're good enough. And listen to Yay. They can probably synthesize advice from Ann Landers to Ask Emily. And they're probably right enough about this.
You're good enough, you're smart enough, and doggone it, people like you.
There is going to be a day when Yay! manages to annoy the WRONG person and discovers, "Hey, so this is what being punched in the face feels like! Let's not do it again because it HURTS!"
i suspect Yay is immune to physical force, so to have this effect it would have to be an *emotional* gut punch. ... and now i kind of want to see that storyline.
Ooh, farce seems fun
A Paradon is a type of dinosaur that epitomises the very essence of being.
So it's the paragon of essence of being?
paradon->paragon
Came here to suggest this.
That is absolutely part of his appeal.
I think Yay is possibly a force for good here. Their desire for romantic farce aside
They're a force for farce.
Just be yourself, it's worked so far.
