omg Yay is such an evil lizard I love them
I know Roko is probably technically younger than Elliot and Clinton but it still feels fitting for her to say something like "settle down, boys" to them ^^
I can’t remember…has Hannalore met yay yet?
do AI's need passwords? Can't they just like digital thumbprint?
A thumbprint is a kind of password. It's just the kind of password that's really hard to guess and also relatively hard to steal without your noticing. But whatever Christopher is using to identify himself to social media sites, Yay can probably spoof without much effort. They definitely have the raw processing power, somehow, which is the usual defense that cryptography uses to prevent people from doing this. Also, I'd guess that AIs like Christopher probably choose to use human-style passwords.
I feel like it would be a bad idea for Yay and Clinton to meet…
Or he'd become their apprentice. LOL
Christopher's passwords were probably 123456VinDiesel anyway..

Oh god they are the cutest and I’m living for them 😭😭😭🌈🌈🌈💚💚💚
I kind of want an "outtake" panel of the boys grabbing the wrong shirts. Or maybe it's just Clinton wearing the "Bee Nice" shirt in a sexy pose... I'm thinking too much about this. Let's just go with the comical "shirts that don't fit" panel. :o
Clinton being swallowed by one of Elliot's shirts is somehow adorable and hot at the same time. Like, to the point that I'm no longer as disappointed that the NSFW comic didn't include Clinton. I think I'd actually RATHER see him being dwarfed by that shirt than nude :P
Hmmm, have Elliot or Clinton ever seen representations of the Booty Dance? I'm thinking not, otherwise they would have had an appropriate non-verbal expression of their current status
I propose the ship nickname "Anxiety Boyfriends"
Seconded!
How sweet!!!
As someone who dislikes surprise photos I uh... empathize with Yay a bit here. The power to mysteriously vanish surprise selfies you're suddenly involved in? Yes please.
Yeah. Why do people think it's perfectly fine to include you in a photo without consent then share that photo on 17 types of social media - with 17 different lacks of consent?
At first I was like "Photo didn't save? Is the cloud down? IS THIS POWERCUT THE END OF THE WORLD?" Then I realised it was probably just Yay refusing to be observed.
I love Roko!
"That's weird, photo didn't save ..." heh
He's lucky that that's all that went wrong!
Quick, set off a mini EMP using the battery to wipe short term memory and try this conversation again!
MacGyver it! (If MacGyver were slightly, but not a whole bunch, eviler)
Yeah, they all felt the seismic vibrations!
I want what they have. The love, not the battery.

Is the phone missing from his hand in panel 1? That thumb gesture seems odd otherwise.
He's seen to have a thumb camera two strips ago, which is how he took the photo with Yay. So he's looking at his thumb as one might a malfunctioning camera or phone.
One does not just take a digital photo of a digital eldritch abomination.
that's what HE said
I don't remember Christopher. When did he first show up?
two strips ago :)
YES! WHIP 'EM OUT AND BLOW EACH OTHER IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY!
This is the moment when Yelling Bird follows the example of Pintsize with Faybles.
I like the tagline. He deserves it.
"We're blowing it in front of everybody!" I'm dying! 😂
BTW. Elliot: No one asked.
Hush
I wonder if she recognizes him...
I forgot about that! I hope she does!
I like Christopher. I've always felt this series needed a villain.
That is very close to what I thought Yay would do XD.
Nouns are hard.
hat and cane routine "boyfriendssss we're boyfriendsss we had a little nookie and we're boyfriendsssss"
"...sssssss" Yep. He's lucky all that happened is that the image failed to save.
Aaaaa, Jeph. I love your comic so much. Everything about this one in particular is *chef’s kiss*.
GDI you cinnamon rolls!
I could preventing or deleting the image as an important method of self defense. If Yay did change his passwords, those should be easy enough for him to recover and reset, but it would keep him busy long enough to forget about the pale AI that he didn't get to Selfie with.
OMG, these two are HILARIOUS together. Can't wait for more from the latest QC couple. ❤
Is someone keeping count of the remaining singles? A decreasing number.
THESE 👏TWO 👏IDIOTS 👏
The subtext says: "Yay just changed all of Christopher's passwords." If you say so, but it doesn't fit my take on their personality, or ethics. They have enormous power, but don't use it much. Sure, they "eavesdrop", but that may be a lot like hearing to them, not so easy to shut out. All kinds of bad things go on around them, but they keep their hands off. Perhaps wisely. On the other hand, maybe they are "human" enough to be petty and vengeful.
The subtext is not always to be taken literally. I think deleting the photo was the limit of their interference.
They're all so goddamn cute and gay 😍
awwww
I mean I HOPE you boys are a couple now, there will be some unhappy shippers if you aren't. 8(
Someone please give these two like some chamomile tea or something
Bruh just say friend and figure it out later.
I love these two so much.
Somehow they became more adorkable.
Every time I think they've reached peak adorkability, they prove me wrong.
and now Clinton is back to no chill
First sex with a guy is one thing. Meeting new AI’s is MUCH more stressful.
Omg say the word boyfriend I want it so much
Poor Elliott is really going through it
There were several here who predicted what would happen to the photograph files.
I'm surprised he still has that hand.
Elliott: "OMG! Has anyone guessed we're doing the thing that makes Baby Republican Jesus cry?". Everyone else: "We heard you breaking furniture and screaming 'Make me honk like a pelican!' So yes."
Honking pelicans? Do I even want to know?
And Roko is like, yeah, duh, could you two be more obvious?
Oh dear, Clinton's chill from the last few comics seems to have evaporated. Perhaps it needs electricity?
Only a matter of time, really. I did think they were both suspiciously chill last strip
Oh thank God. I was afraid that Yay were losing their ineffable charm. I want to see the slow motion replay of the light from the flash creeping towards them as we see bits flipping in Christopher’s accounts. 10^11 frames/sec should do it.
I like how Clinton is freaking out with Eliot.
Roko's face in the first panel is priceless lol
Christopher is seconds away from spontaneously combusting.
C0nsent is key 😏
Roko giggling at Yay in panel one. Jeph I am begging you let these two ai fall in love.
They're already so friggin' cute. I might literally die if they smooched
Mmmmm, savor the awkwardness! It's almost pleasurable!
*melts*
Christopher has absolutely no clue how fortunate he he is, does he?
Or... Yay forcibly deleted the photo before it could save. This is Yay we're talking about. They can do that.
Actually, SPEAKING OF BLOWIN' IT!
A sensitive sensorium
Did somebody order two disaster bisexuals?
I mean that's been Elliot's bread and butter since Padma introduced him to us!
So. Adorable.
Gay panic
Bi panic is more accurate
is anxiety contagious?
OH GOD, WHAT IF IT IS?!
This is so cute!
