Iris has toes! That used to mean a higher end AI chassis. I suppose that, just like cars, AI chassis features are introduced with the top of the line and then move down-market, like radios and electric windows.
What are electric windows? I mean radios make sense, they hide the tapping noises coming from the engine, and the squeak from the axles, and the doors, and that trim piece on the dashboard.....
Will someone kindly retrieve the jaws of life from the truck?
That's gonna void the warranty for sure.
I love this so much. Also I believe that some people believed. But their belief was misplaced.
Who hasn't faceplanted while attempting crow?
(recommended: change “attempting” to “eating”)
Bubbles has been fully awake and functional since before daybreak, but happily continues pretending to sleep for as long as Faye wants to spoon her.
Based on Bub's alert expression, I'd say this is probably accurate.
what are you doing step yoga teacher?
I guess we're seeing which cast members are morning people and which aren't.
And it just keeps getting better
Jeph, I checked online to see what the Crow Pose was. Having found it, I can honestly say this: You are braver than I am, for hell would be slurpee cold before I would try it.
Faceplanting is a good start, Jeph! Most people starting out stay too far back so the weight of their arse just pulls them back and down... A few more tries and you'll be flying...
I’m getting there!
I am still trying to parse that pose(?) Iris is in… she's on her knees, bending forward at the waist… but somehow got her shoulders back behind her thighs? With her head still facing forward?
Mr. Fantastic of comic book fame could do it, as could the equally fictional Helen Parr. For us real human beings? No. Just no effing way. No how, no way. UNLESS we got a marine DI REALLY, REALLY annoyed with us.
Is anyone else surprised that Faye is the outside spoon? I mean just considering how big Bubbles is you'd think she'd have to be the outside spoon.
the smaller person can also be the big spoon. It tends to be more comfortable if the small person is the small spoon but both works. Also it is nice to switch around from time to time
not the first time weve seen robots get stuck in a position from which they cant get out of; a new theme? hmmm
I think the yoga session was supposed to be a morning thing to help get Marigold moving. The view out the window is daytime, so I'd guess it's early morning before Bubs and Faye are up.
I have so many questions. 1. If Faye and Bubbles are both still asleep, then just what the hell time are they having this yoga session? 2. Faye sleeps with her phone in the bed with her? 2a. How does it charge? 2b. Is Bubbles charging it? 3. How do you keep all the Madrigal sisters and cousins straight?
It was nap time?
That’s when I’m in Viking-mode!
See? SEE! I was right all along. When they asked me to meditate in yoga, I always fell asleep. IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO!
The expression on Iris's face looks so anime 😂
How undignified
It’s a relief to know that when the robots take over we’ll still have one defense.
That’s a Burger Oni face in the last panel…
What is the threshold of “smart” that a smartphone has to be before this is considered a menage a trois?
>=3 processor cores?
What a twist!
Wait, the phone is sandwiched between them while they sleep?
I mean, I keep my phone on the bedside table left of me when I sleep, but I'm righthanded, so I absolutely roll over to grab it, then roll back over and talk on it right-side up about two thirds of the time.
Is Iris talking out her butt?
She was, earlier.
She really doesn’t know Yoga? I guess she’s a downward fraud.
She said she's not a yoga instructor, but she watched two videos on the way over to the yoga class. She did not say that those two videos were about yoga. Also, I note that she didn't actually say Willow asked her to fill in, just that Willow couldn't make it, so she *was* filling in.
bubs doing her best sleeping impression
Any of us would do the same if we had a Faye-equivalent curled around our glutes.
Completely relatable that the phone is IN the bed w/ them... XD XD
Is it weird that this is kinda hot to me
Is there a robot (still alive of course) in QC you wouldn’t want to butt touch?
The predictions fulfillment, so satisfying haha!
"Vinyasas" is yoga-speak for "Everyone go fk off!"
I always wondered what that *really* meant.
Faye, don't forget to charge Iris an out of hours consultation fee. 😊
She didn't call. She's fine!
Faye has "bed head" hair, but Bubs is mysteriously immune. Maybe reliably perfect hair is an AI "membership benefit?" :)
So --- Jeph --- your *knee* is sore from faceplanting from crow pose. How is your _face_ from driving it further into the mat than Iris did to get your knee to touch (or did you just torque it)? And your back?
And then we all wonder how do cats and dogs sleep in weird positions?
Pride goeth before destruction
Panel 1 by itself comes across far sexier than intended.
Indeed. For an instant I misinterpreted that buzzing.
She has learned more about herself today than she thought she would. I'd call it a good day, if not for well, this.
huh. usually it's humans who wind up with their head up their ass.
If there's any one thing we'll be good at teaching our AI descendants, it's how to have our heads up our asses.
Oh, Iris, dear dear Iris. :)
It is as I have foreseen. The prophesied time is nigh!
Well, some did mention yesterday that Faye and Bubbles would get involved somehow.
Who indeed could have foreseen this? Surely nobody in last strip's comments!
And… I’m dead. lolololol
