Erin Moriarty

Hot Dog is the new frontrunner for cutest

Jamison Town

I was gonna ask if we can reference Cosby jokes again now that he's in prison but I know the answer is, "No. No, we can't."

A sheep

A hot dog has TWO pieces of bread around it...oof.

Friendship Tiers Stage 1: name Stage 2: buddy, pal, chum, or some other casually affectionate term Stage 3: shithead, asshole, etc. Stage 4: typically romantic pet names like "honey" or "babe" Stage 5: calling them "babe" and "you absolute motherfucker" in the same sentence

May, Roko, Clinton, Elliot, Brun .... that’s not a ship, it’s a fleet...

Yes, Jeph. Ollie IS a hot dog. :) Cute, too. :)

TMN

Agh, Roko in exercise gear.

Czarzhan

"Your friends call you that?" "Well, kinda. I *answer* to 'Goddammit'. 'Hey, Fucker' is more something I'm likely to call them..."

Populuxe

1st panel 2nd bubble: shouldn’t Roko’s line be “Turns out I couldn’t sleep on it.”?

Tim Eldred

I work in I.T. so I'm conditioned to respond when people utter things like "shit" "fuck" and "goddammit" at random

Tim Eldred

I assumed it was a sort of grammatical contraction. Drop the "I" like that all the time.

Headcanon: Hot Dog was originally just a dick someone started to draw on the wall.

Who does Basilisk look like Lady GaGa?

Populuxe

May doesn’t have a last name, does she?

Will Weaver

May reminds me of the meme featuring the dog who goes, “Hi! I’m GET-DOWN-NO! What’s your name?”

Roko is friends with Melon; that's been established. Now Roko is friends with May... Roko needs to find new friends. Somebody introduce her to Elliot. While he's baking...

Bagge

Awwww. Best of friends.

Diptych

Sadly, I recently learned that the real Roko, as well as inventing ridiculous AI dilemmas, has been accused of a string of sex crimes. I don't know the details, but it still sucks the fun out if nerds freaking out about future VR hells.

Ami

Hope her hand isn't sticky

Populuxe

Good for Roko. Seriously.

gatherer818

No my Clinton Elliot ship has enough competition from Brun already no need to add new players

Brent Catherman

Why are you surprised Roko? May isn't the easiest person to like for nothing.

BobC

I'm still so amazed. Jeph has created such a rich world that he can go anywhere in it and do awesome things whenever. It's like I want him to write about ALL his characters ALL the time. I'm always wondering about the characters not getting panel time. I'll bet Sweet Tits and Steve have been hanging out for months. Unfortunately, Jeph has only one left hand.

Ben Russell-Gough

The answer to Roko's question in panel 4 is 'yes' and also that this tells her a lot about May.

Dolan

"Babe, you absolute motherfucker" is a complete sentence, just one that relies a lot on context.

Thomas Boys

If you have a hotdog, maybe get Ollie some iced water or something?

Ben Russell-Gough

What next? I'm sort of expecting a kindly stranger (Spookybot) to tell Elliott that Roko has quit her job and is at a loose end. Why not be a good neighbour and spend some time with her and help her sort out her next move? Oh... and why don't you bring along some of your best fresh-baked bread? "Oh, and you won't remember us or this conversation. Bye!"

Stoodmuffin

Fucking damnit I ship them now. I SHIP THEM. FUCK mY POO BRAIN. WHY. WHY.

Chris Hewson

Poor May. Momo is probably the only one she knows who calls her by her name, xD

Somebody Else

Allow me to present panel 3. May looking like she's seeing someone walk on water, and Roko looking cute and asking May to be more informal. It's probably reading way more into that panel than there is, but isn't that basically how ships start anyway...

Scooter

*disembarks SS Faybles* *boards SS Mayko*

Philip D Jones

I am still not clear how robot/androids have sex. Does it involve USB ports? I recall robots in past strips burning out USB ports in past strips.

Bagge

I assume we will never be told, because it's FAR more funny to guess. But I assume the real answer is: In tons of interesting and endlessly variable way, depending on their specific hardware configuration and imagination.

There's a recurring character in Gibson novels, Rydell, who every so often just goes for it. That is, he makes sudden, drastic decisions on impulse and intuition. He is right maybe three-fourths of the time, often heroically. When he's wrong, the results are disastrous. He's an adventure novel hero displaced into a slightly more complex fictional universe. Roku and May are like that, only slightly less able, and displaced into a novel of (bad) manners, where there is no room for heroism at all. And now they are friends. This should be interesting.

Matt Grayson

And as for Faybles, I assume they communicate - verbally or nonverbally - what each other wants and it is mutually satisfactory. The sexual organ is, after all, the brain.

But Dad .... My name is Jesus Christ. Dammit is over there -->.
