I am very confused. Did I miss a plot thread about some connection between Yay and Cosmo? Also why is she concerned about Roko? I feel like I stress-forgot a whole arc or two somewhere.
i thought she thought that Roko has a crush on either Elliot or Clinton? this arc got very confusing very fast

Gods, I needed this laugh.
This gonna be gud

Don't lose your cool now, Yay'
cosmo's such a good dog. sniff snoof :tail wag:
The baseball bat suggests that AI violence against humans is not unheard of in this reality. I wonder how many non-Crushbot related injuries and deaths are sustained by humans at the hands of AI?
Or it could be possible that some AIs are so confused - and durable enough - that giving them a few hard taps with a bat is the only way of getting their attention.
Anyone else a little unclear on what exactly Yay is debating with themselves? What is the temptation they're considering giving into?
Breaking and entering to meet Cosmo
Yay’s face in panel 2. I zoomed in and was disappointed by its low-res. I want it, huge, like, wallpaper huge.
Be sure to appreciate the Cosmo ears perk-up in panel 3.
My "Yay is based on cats" theory is looking more and more convincing :)
If yay ends up stuck in that tree, Aurelia is sure going to be disappointed to have to call the hot firemen who work the night shift to come and bring a ladder…again…
Heh. You can tell Aurelia doesn't have much experience walking dogs or carrying weapons. One of the reasons dogs are generally walked on the left comes from military and police work. The dog was walked on the non-dominant side so the dominant hand could access a sidearm. It's pretty clear that Aurelia is right-handed ( https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4481 and 4482 ).
Maybe she's ambidextrous, and she eats right-handed but plays baseball left-handed.
Yay is a host, Mom is her host, and both of them have reasons. Cosmo is Cosmo, and needs no reason.
Cosmo's just happy to see Yay again. Look at that tail.
But Cosmo is happy to see everyone. She's so friendly she'd hold the flashlight for a burglar.
That FLIT! I want to know how it was done. Does Yay have built-in anti-gravity? Are they THAT good at jumping?
Yay's bodies are... custom.
Mixed messages from the bat and the tail, but the call of the Mom still rings true.
sniff snoof
Is she going to give Yay the other bat she keeps in the front closet?
This time of night, Yay might find their own bat in that tree.
Praeses origin story.
Deep reference - love it :-)
Omnipotent but neurotic.
Hahah. Baseball bat just in case.
If memory serves me right, she has a second one for Yay, just to keep things fair.
Nothing to see here, just gathering nuts for winter.
...for a "HOST" of reasons. Too good, Jeph, too good.
...Is that a pun I missed?
Of all the ways for Aurelia and Yay to meet, this was not one of the ways I imagined
Who will win? This hypernetworked super-AI who fled to what is in retrospect not a particularly good hiding spot as fast as their state-of-the-art hardware can take them or One pointy girl with three hundred years of "take the humans to the things that are running away" ancestors. Sorry, Yay, but I gotta back Cosmo on this one.
holy fuck i wasnt sure what to expect after yesterday but this was better than i could ever hope for (and i was hopping for a lot.) new favorite arc new favorite arc. (sidenote im now full on train shipping yay and Mrs.Augusts because i think that that is hilarious)
Not gonna lie, was not expecting Yay to end up in a tree, lmao
HOLY SHIT! THEY'RE IN MY TREE!
Welp, they're fucked...
Well done Yay. For the price of your dignity, you can now talk to Cosmo without upsetting Roko regarding your morality. I mean, you’ll have to admit that you found the address and went there to begin with, but I think Roko will forgive that when you explain that you had an existential discussion with yourself about morality which then alerted the occupant to your presence.
And yet we don't want to keep secrets from Roko, we enjoy sharing with her. We enjoy her presence.
I love Auriela‘s outfit, it’s perfect
Panel 2: "someome" ?
Sorry, but the "n" is not onsite!
"How tall is that tree?" "About Yay high."
ffs I hate that I laughed at this
Aurelia wisely kept a bat in case it was needed, but kindly kept it out of line of site from the doorway so that it wasn't a threat while she was offering aid.
But she brought it outside with her so I feel like her promise not to hurt Yay will fall on deaf ears.
Croc life!
We're not going to hurt you... just ignore the bat. XD Auriela is too precious for this world!!
Speak softly and carry a large stick. Good advice for anyone.
The embarrassment is enough that they aren't petting Cosmo. Poor Yay.
Yay will pet Cosmo within the next two panels. #prediction
"Sniff Snoof" ♥️
When you get right down to it, Yay is kind of a fraidy cat, aren't they?
Super fraidy cat- remember when she hid behind Roko when they ran into Faye?
Sniff snoof
Also, does Yay have a body odor problem?
Wait? What?
A hivemind omniscient AI having a crisis of morality is unexpectedly refreshing.
I like how she still has the baseball bat in case Cosmo's previous owner ever comes looking for them.
Anton Chekhov's less well-known law of writing - if you put a baseball bat on the mantelpiece in Act 567, you must use it in Act 723.
Cosmo 1, Yay 0
"We're not going to hurt you" is sending a mixed message with holding a baseball bat.
That's so Yay doesn't hurt them.
🤣🤣🤣
Yes,.. I'm still laughing.
