Cute kids.
they/them pronouns for the new kid! <3
hehehehehehe
hehehe
AT FIRST I THOUGHT THE LEFT-HANDED THING MIGHT BE ABOUT THE METRIC SYSTEM, BUT WOULD AIs (EVEN AMERICAN ONES) EVEN BOTHER WITH IMPERIAL MEASUREMENTS? ALSO, TESTICLES!
The metric system is rather sinister…
more than anything I love this look into AI culture!
So all the pictures I have seen of the Canadarm mounted on space shuttles show it on the left side of the vehicle. Perhaps?
Or maybe it’s the hockey stick thing…Canadians play left-handed in higher proportions than in other places.
Something, something, poutine! Something, something Tim Hortons, eh?
I think the AI joke is that actually no AI has a "dominant side"
I heard that the nation’s original intended title had the initials “C.N.D.” but when they first wrote it down it was dictated as “C, eh? N, eh? D, eh?”
So is Emmett not laughing? Everyone knows Canadians laugh like, “Eh eh eh eh eh.”
we have a teen Marigold!!
You've been living up here too long Jeph. Catching the local ways eh.
I’m British so the only jokingly derogatory thing I know about Canada is that it’s America’s hat…
More like Gorillas in the Mist, where Faye is observing but not interfering with the wildlings.
Teens in the mist = Smells like teen Spritz?
Sam had an honest to God real canadian friend
That much I got, but the jokes?
OK, help me out here... What is a Tim Horton joke? Southern US minds want to know!
Tim Hortons is a Canadian donut chain.
listen, everyone knows that to an introvert, being adopted by an extrovert IS friendship. (sometimes its the only way we can make friends)
We’re starting 2022 off with A Serious Affliction??
Considering the uniformity of the response to a disembodied robot butt, one wonders if that's what's at the core of universal translator technology.
Sam is a good friend. I hope Emmett comes out of their shell soon once they’re more comfortable ☺️
🤣😹😂
Poor Emmett.
They're enjoying poking a butt so no pity from me!
Double double butt anyone?
the hoodie is that big to hide all the timbits
Emmett-bits.
Emet and "in the Mist", not sure where that Golem thing is going but let's see.
...and here in their natural habitat of a garage we find nerdlings at play, poking at tech as they develop the skills they will in time wield as adult aerospace engineers
In 2040, a NASA spokesperson is unable to explain why the latest Mars rocket has a butt.
re: panel 5 - well thats how *I* made friends back in high school, so i dont see why it cant be both =w=
O Canada, you are the source of endless merriment and joy by just existing and putting up with our dumb jokes.
They are just preparing for “the great curling”.
The butt's a double double with Tim Bits!
Do Not Taunt Happy Fun Butt!
"Faye is using the good practice of not assuming gender until expressed" +++
Is Melon missing a butt again?
I guess it's more like it's in for it's 100k mile service... but not missing...
So just to be clear--did we skip over the part where Sam or Emmet say that Emmet uses they/them pronouns? Because at first I got the impression that this strip takes place right after the previous one, but then I figured that in that case, why would Faye use they/them pronouns.
Faye might be using the plural to refer to both of the offscreen folks in one or more of those instances, but I think either way, Faye is using the good practice of not assuming gender until expressed.
It's 2022 and Jeph still has butts disease and I'm here for it
Adults are just children with bills.
quack.
I NEED A DISMEMBERED ROBOT ASS IMMEDIATELY!
I expect you would also accept a membered one?
The disembutted robot has been experiencing phantom butt syndrome all day.
Hehe, butts
BUTTS LOL
Messin' with the Myomer Maximus makes more merriment!
Lol: face in panel 3.
Getting strong Emmett and Butthead vibes here...
Button disease: Jackie was a vector. He introduced it when he emigrated several years ago. It appears to have spread.
As it happens, poking butts and giggling is also how Faye and Bubbles spent last night.
I assume all the Emmett-Sam shippers will jump on the whole "Canadian *-friend" thing.
I'm 100% here for Questionable Canadian Content. Does that mean I'm down with Q.C.C.?
yeah you know me
Butts disease has spread to Canada???
It's a pandemic.
If they weren't friends before, they are now. Mutual appreciation of butts is an excellent bonding experience.
I now wonder if it's weird for some AIs to go into the shop and see spare parts. Like oh that arm looks like my disembodied arm. Like is it a robot equivalent to a human seeing a heart in a box?
I guess maybe it's like going into a doctors office and seeing the models of brains and skeletons? Or maybe like if your doctor had actual specimens in jars?
They/them/theirs it is!
Wait wait… why are Canadians left handed?
I have always wondered that as well.
Sam is going to start hoarding friends like Martin.
hhehehehehe robutt
Hehe. butts
Does Union Robotics take Canadian Tire money
No. I think that was established early on in UR's existence when they refused to take Canadian Tire money from Pintsize.
They have been adopted.
Yay for using they/them for the new person!
Not actually clear on that. It'd be neat if they used they/them but it sounds more like Emmet and Sam are poking the butt
