WINSLOW HAS A NEW FLOOF

LH

oh come on Winslow, don't be a wimp, it's not like the scorpions were going to bite you or anything!

Kaleb C2

Nice job with Momo's eyes in that last panel!

JD

Is Winslow going to be the new Hanners now that Hanners has (seemingly) gotten over her anxieties?

Ami

One of my favorite comics, Atomic Robo, has the titular hero horrified of insects. He knows it's an irrational fear but the idea that they could climb in between his joints squicks him out bad

Michael Boettger

Poor guy. But you survived, apparently intact, and only slightly worse for wear.

Criss Invid

I can’t decide whether “Yak Insurance” or “Always Check Your Processors for Scorpions” should be the name of the inevitable autobiography.

Seth Aaron Hershman has they she pronouns

My comment the other day blew up so let me just get out ahead of this and say a lot of times Jacques does stuff that looks iffy and that iffiness turns out to be the point (like, you know, the Tilly arc that prompted all this!) so I'm withholding judgment for at least a couple of weeks if not more. The man's more than earned the benefit of the doubt and I'm sorry for implying I wouldn't give it to him.

Flounder

Poor soft boy. :(

Miyaa

I’m shipping Winslow & Momo, as Momoslow.

Michael Boettger

And Momo looks slightly different too. A more "mature" or "adult" attire. Less teen/ more twenty-something.

Shawn K. Younkin

Sam has GOT to hear about Winslow's travels! XD

Noise

It's really hard to get Yak Insurance since the Great Stampede of 2043.

Joel Bateman

I can't wait for May or Pintsize to hear about Winslow's adventures.

OldGoat

I wonder what kind of kinky ideas it'll inspire in May? Melon, OTOH, will find the scorpions to be kind of, "Ho hum, all in a day's work."

Chris Gallaty

Future bonus comic: Where, exactly, did the scorpions crawl in?

Lee B.

lol poor Winslow

BobC

They were baby scorpions entering his nostrils. Not his ears, 'cause he would have heard that.

Andrew

He caught Malware-ia? That's rough.

Nemo of Utopia

I'm waiting for the 'Hanners has a relapse' storyline, because these kinds of deeply ingrained neurosis do not just suddenly go away in some steps monetary epiphany, I speak from personal experience.

Dylan T

Winslow's epiphany was that everything is terrible, always

Bagge

Robots have some interesting diseases

Bagge

And he didn't even mention that whole "deep sea monstrosity" yet

Ben C

I like our cute robot characters actualizing their full body dreams as much as the next reader but part of me does miss all the cute little robos running around...hope we get some more someday.

Fun scorpion facts: there's only one scorpion species in the US that's lethal to humans (the Arizona bark scorpion, Centruroides exilicauda), and it lives in the Sonoran Desert. But knowing your local scorpions are safe isn't much consolation when you encounter one in your house. And the stings of the non-lethal ones are still quite painful. I think I might have been stung by one last year when I made the stupid mistake of going across the street in the dark to get the mail, while wearing flip-flops. Or it could have been the worst fire ant bite ever. All I know is that it formed a blister on top of a blister, and the skin at the sting site was discolored for months.

Winslow reminds me of myself coming back from summer camp. Only it was goats, not yaks, jumping spiders, not scorpions, mumps, not malware, and the snakes never successfully bit any of us because except for that one surprise baby rattler we were noisy, successfully alert, and provided every opportunity for safe distance (more bites from mosquitos, no-see-ums, the fire ants, and an occasional yellow jacket sting)....I hugged civilization upon my return every summer, ten years running (though it was probably mostly the return to better food. Not that I hate kitchari, but six weeks of it as the main staple does grow boring for a child, tween, teen).

Dean Reilly

Always shake the scorpions out of your robot before switching it on.

Chuck Dee

The food when at camp (as long as it wasn't ultralight hiking) was the highpoint.

Mooster

<3 Marigold. Am I crazy (likely) or in frame 1 there she looks more like Louis from "Revenge of the Nerds" than she ought to (with long hair, of course). ;-)

Joe

"Always check your processor core for scoprions". words to live by. a wise man, this Jeph.

Kerin Schiesser

"Scorprions" That sounds like a particularly NASTY kind of protein! LOL You know - I had forgotten that Winslow had gone along, too... I admit to some prurient curiosity as to scorpion access points, myself... Is there some kind of battery chamber that is exposed when running out a charging cable in more primitive locales? :P
