Why are her eyes different colors now? Were they always? Did I miss something?
“He’s called Harry! Say Hi to Harry!” Everyone, including Harry: “Hi to Harry!” 👋
Look! Hoo-mans! Also, Bubbles' expressions in this strip make me happy.
Cf. early Bubbles. She has sho' nuff changed.
3 theories: --Melon is the prototype, --The issue is that she's 100000000000. Switching that12th bit causes an addressing problem her sisters don't have leading to her unique chassis issues and personality -- She is 000000000000 and was the head node in a distributed system like Yay, but something broke when that 12th bit flipped. So they understand her, but have more stable interactions because they don't suffer from that error.
Point of order. She has 2048 siblings. Most probably have the same body, presumably from the same build lot, same design revision. There should be 2048 more AI out there that need that cooling upgrade. Although I'm still convinced the fact that there's 2049 total is the root cause of Melon being Melon. She's the 2^11 +1 unit.
I think she was the prototype, before they got all the bugs out for the production version...
There's a lot of wiggle room in Bubbles' statement in panel 2. Is Melon now only at occasional risk of catastrophic fire? Or constant risk of minor fire?
Aren't we all at occasional risk of catastrophic fire?
A great comic to read while eating breakfast xD
Well, what's old with debugging is new again, it seems...
The spirit of Grace Hopper has entered the chat
Still disappointed that Jeph isn't including Arthur in these conversations. He's clearly essential to Melon's mental health.
Arthur : Melon :: Tyler Durden : Narrator
I love Melon so much. Such a good kid 🥰
Next to Claire, she is my favorite.
But is that bug dead tho
Melon just needs to swallow a bullfrog. Problem solved!
I know a young robot who swallowed a fly....
It's not a bug, it's a feature!
and a snack!
A WEEK? That's like three years of strip events we've missed! Are Clinton and Elliot still together?
I wonder sometimes if Melon and UNITY aren't related.
Wait, what is Melon's job? The reference strip didn't help.
It’s to scream while being covered in vermin all day. We’ve never learned the point of it though.
I fear for May's mental balance. Whoops, nothing there to worry about.
Maybe Faye and Bubbles should install some wire screens on Melon's vents.
They denied Melon’s request for UV eyes.
Melon, no. (Will never not be funny)
Jeph found an AI equivalent of Steve eating a bowl of cereal after all.

oh thank you so much! out of curiosity, do you have a reference to the original strip where she mentioned it? I can't recall the exact dialogue or who she was talking to (Roko, maybe?) but it was something along the lines of: "Wait, so does that mean I *don't* have to spend all day screaming as bugs crawl all over me?" "What?? NO! Of course not!!!" "Oh whew! I'll have to remember that if I ever stop enjoying it."
New week (in-universe) means new timeline update! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wqTgvVxV0GE1EoKnR0pxVChHUo4ZYtal/
Wait. It's been only 3 years so far in the QCverse? Can we please slow down time out here as well?
Was the original hardware bug found in Melon’s ancestor?
If her ancestor was the Mark II, it would explain a lot.
What is that strange creature that seems to be made of meat?
An insect.
Melon provides a taxi service to insects.
I love bubbles
We should all aspire to be more Melon-y
Without the stitchery.
In Melon's, umm, unique architecture, the term "bug" takes on a whole new meaning
Actually, she's going old-school and bringing it back to the original meaning! In the days of room-sized computers, literal insects would get inside and cause problems with the vacuum tubes
So Melon, like God, is inordinately fond of beetles?
They are known for good music.
Bubbles, so good to see you! Faye, you had to speak too soon and jinxed the whole thing, didn't you?
Oh Melon, you're just adorable.
Melon heard about software bugs, and well…
i came here for bug puns and was not disappointed
