The idea of something as insecure as Wi-Fi providing direct access to one's mind and body is genuinely terrifying.
I reassure myself by just believing that they have like a separation between their consciousness and their browser. Think of it like running all your sketchy stuff in VirtualBox
Melon is ridiculously cute.
Am I the only one that calls this a cowlick?
No, but maybe the only one a full day after posting. 😅
I love how she is still naked and we haven't seen her :D
Her left boob is kind of in frame on the top one.
"Bubbles, now that I'm better, can I sing 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'?"
And her hair was... perfect.
More melons please
I think we should see Yay and Melon sporting “Pinky and the Brain” t-shirts.
Is Yay really that insane? I don't recall her ever once trying to take over the world.
Hanging upside down in the hair growth tank was probably Melon’s favorite part.
In case anyone else could do w/ a before-and-after, here's the first random strip I found w/ Melon after way, WAY too much clicking. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4322
Also these AI's appear to have permanent eyeliner. 🤔
Reminds me of Dilbert's necktie. As far as I know, Scott Adams has only drawn it hanging straight down in one strip. That was after a date with Liz. (Dogbert figured out what it meant.) Might Melon's WiFi antenna provide a similar indicator?
She is too adorable
...I am trying to not feel slightly ashamed that I legit imagined/heard the sound effect when reading this one. 🙄
Boioioioioing?
Melon. 100% Anime character.
I love Melon
Melon is secretly a Dr. Seuss character who wandered into this strip, right?
Melon is secretly the step above Yay in the AI power hierarchy.
Hairboner.
Melon, yes.
Have Melon's eyes always been different colors? Before the party, I think they were both pink. Maybe something to do with the fire? However, given Melon's history, they may just naturally change...
I've been wondering that, too.
Millimeter-wave-y hairstyle
Long hair is a good look on Melon, but she wouldn't be the same without that idiot hair sticking up.
She looks so happy!
A H O G E
Not to be confused with Ahego. Melon should NOT be making those faces. Roko can when she gets a particularly fresh loaf of Dutch Crunch.
"Ahoge (literally idiot hair) refers to the noticeable slim forelock of hair that sticks straight up from a character's head. Originally a hairdresser term for the "stupid hairs" or cowlicks that will not comb down, it later mutated into a reflection of a person's intelligence. Thus Idiot Hair suggests that a character is stupid, naïve, or strange. " https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IdiotHair
I feel like I've learned more from TV Tropes than I have actually being in school sometimes
I've read last panel as "My wifi signal just got stranger!", and was "yep, sounds right".
She'll go home and watch season 4 of Stronger Things...
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
AIs run in a remote substrate and don't live in the bodies, right? I wonder if having a better connection helps with their coordination.
I'm pretty sure their "brains" are in their bodies. Roko only survived her run-in with Crushinator because she had a hardened casing. Even Yay is tied to their body, they just have a dozen of them that are all networked.
Welp. See ya Hanners. Back to Melon as my PFP
and now we know what the sproingy is
I have so many questions about Melon at this point.
I think she's an AI bodhisattva or Holy Fool: she has attained such wisdom and enlightenment that she seems ridiculous to the mundane world, but she kindly remains with us to help us improve. SPROING
I don’t advise a haircut, man. All hairdressers are in the employment of the government. Hairs are your aerials. They pick up signals from the cosmos, and transmit them directly into the brain. This is the reason bald-headed men are uptight.
Now I finally understand why the Aurora Borealis makes me feel all mellow.
That totally is Melon
So AIs use wi fi, not Bluetooth. Interesting. But I agree, it is cute as hell.
Bluetooth is horribly insecure and just poorly designed in general. I would be very concerned if an AI used it. It's bad enough that so many DEVICES do
*Adorable forest nymph vibes INTENSIFY* 🥺
Melon is now an awakened fern :)
Melon, no! (No reason, just thought I should say that.)
Totally read the last pane Fascinating in a Spock voice.
... Dr. Spock is the guy who wrote books on how to take care of children in the ?1950s?1960s? Guy who said "Fascinating" a lot on a 1960s tv show is just Spock. Not sure if you were being sarcastic, but figured someone might be confused.
Melon is having so much fun just existing and I love that for her
She's the best. Hanging out with her would be so delightful
yup, melon just got a whole lot cuter
p o i n g
I guess Melon isn’t an ordinary AI.
I think we knew that when she came busting into Union Robotics after launching her literal ass into orbit
Ok. Hair for wifi...
Is that like the little curl that used to differentiate Clark Kent from Superman?
