GASP, she's naked :P
I love the fact that it's not a "melon thing" but a regular thing who seem to happen enough time to have it own procedure
Ours grows back usually. Theirs would not.
Melon...no, just no
When Melon says "free snacks", is she referring to the goop, or the duct tape?
Yes.
Does she only have to dunk her hand in the goop? Not the rest of her body, or do the hands just get more specialized treatment?
Given the small size of the container, probably just her hand that gets the special treatment since it's such an integral part of staying alive. They might have a different application process for the rest of her body. Or, she puts her hand in the container and the goop climbs up the damaged bits on it's own like a symbiotie.
Goop happens.
Especially if Gwyneth Paltrow is involved... D:
Surprised there’s no “it puts the lotion on its skin” comment yet :)
Melon would just try to eat that too.
I am constantly amazed at how much thought Jeph gives to the AIs and their construction. It adds so much depth and complexity to this world.
Melon is actually and precisely incapable of learning from experience, avoiding repeated self-harm or considering the consequences of her actions. If she were real and lived in a civilized country she would have a Court-appointed Guardian. And with good reason. She is a sweet, loving creature but literally unable to take care of herself in the most basic ways. I find myself increasingly less charmed and more sad.
She's holding down a steady job, she cheerfully survives experiences that would kill a meat person, and she's got a strong social support network. The relevant court had a hearing years ago and concluded that she's doing fine.
Hey, we've got a town filled with those grazers here in Austria - it's called Graz... :P
For some reason my brain insisted on reading "Australia". Shortly after that, I thought "huh, that's funny, Aussies got a town called Graz, too? I thought that was in Austria. ... Waaaaaait. What?" I'm split between emotions, should I be scared that my brain is decomposing or should I be delighted because it's just hilarious? HALP.
Does this mean it's bad to lick robots in QC's world?
Not if it's consensual.
Jeph Jacques' Robots Series begins.
Begins? This is like year 7 of that series.
LOL- I love the lack of personal protection Faye is wearing while handling incredibly toxic goop.
She knows not to eat it.
Well, this is where my brain immediately went : https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/1a8fa48f-77be-4612-8a48-4479f827ea7a
If only Faye and Bubbles had more customers than someone who constantly destroys her body on accident. If Melon was rich, they’d be doing way better.
We don't know how much Melon gets paid to lie covered in bugs and screaming all day. Maybe it's quite lucrative?
I love that they have a term for this like it's a completely common occurrence
That, or they're just that in sync.
Brought to you by your friends at Cyberdyne!
No, don’t bring them into this!
I sometimes wish Babs was real
... this is just good sci fi now.
Never change, Melon.
Please continue to change, Melon.
GOOP
Jeph, EXCELLENT detail work!
#forbiddensnacks
so nipples are part of the dermal, or do AI's not have nipples?
Um, why do you ask...?
Somewhere in this timeline, Gwyneth Paltrow is like the Elon Musk of goop for robotics. And yes, she would be wearing a black turtleneck sweater.
And talking in an Elizabeth Holmes voice.
what's wrong with me if that's hot
I mean, Melon *has* reached a level of nudity far beyond human tolerances 😏
Sigh. SMH. Where is her handler?
This is Melon we're talking about...she may indeed enjoy the flavor.
"Corrosive is just spicy for robots!"
I can’t believe Sam is missing this.
There’s probably a very good reason for that.
Anyone who has ever worked in retail has seen customers like Melon.
...this implies they've had this problem before. Was it punchbot? I bet it was punchbot.
It’s like 99.999‰ certain to be Punchbot.
I have a strong goop to not goop ratio
Yum! Is it blueberry or cool mint?
Blueberry bisphenol-F solfonated diglycidyl ether-ionomer in propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, perhaps.
