This was probably inspired by that bullshit going down in North Carolina.

And this is one of the reasons I love your comics.
AIs in the QC-verse actually can change their "chassis" as easily as Claire presumably wishes she could. I'm surprised she doesn't resent Momo (or May-the-would-be-fighter-plane). Jeph being Jeph, I wonder if the question of uploading personalities will arise.
Have to say, comics like today's are why I've followed you for many years, and through a lot of life changes. Thanks, and cheers.
I've often wondered if the QC world is more friendly to trans people than the actual one we live in. Most of the time, Claire's status is a non-issue, so seeing this moment makes her even more human. She's definitely become one of my favourite characters.
I think our community in QC is very accepting. We don't spend any time outside of the few circles of friends that comprise our universe.
Taking this to the extreme - with enough modifications, at what point does a human become a robot or a robot become a human? Would brain/CPU be the decider, or can they test for a soul in QC-verse?
What makes you think an AI/robot doesn't have a soul? :-) (Or, equivalently, that a human _does_ have one in any meaningful sense that would distinguish us from a sapient being that runs on a quantum-computing-capable semiconductor substrate, rather than wetware.)
She still doesn't know Pintsize that well, but she will learn. (Now I am wondering how the flying Roombas are doing.)
Just because he distributes horse porn as a welcoming gift, redecorated the bathroom with pictures of butts, and occasionally causes damage to other peoples property... wait, what was the point I was trying to make again? :P
*When* did he stuff that meat in there? I don't see flies swarming around him, or maggots crawling out, but that is sure to smell something awful.
Probably some time after the birdseed.
