But poke, right?

Joel Bateman

The sudden change in tone was perfect.

Vilinda

HA! I like *MOST* children.

Matt Grayson

She was the same with Punchbot. The caffeine has just affected her orthography.

Rob McBobson

In Sam's defense, keep this in mind: The matter of whether it's okay to ask to poke at somebody's bone or not isn't exactly covered by Emily Post.

Josh

Is she going to answer the question about how AIs perceive damage because now I'm curious.

BobC

For some reason, Tom Lehrer's "Poisoning Pigeons In The Park" is running through my mind. (Go ahead, search for it. You know you want to!)

Matt Grayson

To paraphrase Bubbles, “Today is Tuesday. My leg is broken.” OTOH, they clearly experience emotional pain.

Amy ☣

The song is great, but I'm curious what in the strip brought it to mind? (I'm more of a New Math and The Masochism Tango fan myself, but Poisoning Pigeons in the Park is def a classic.)

Andrew Mitchell

No, Sam, no! Poking the nice lady is NOT appropriate.

Danya Michael

I may just be missing it but what is a "pobone"?

Brian French

So, Sam acts the same way on caffeine as Strong Sad does after having some Sanka.

Anonymous

I was wondering the same. Maybe a shorthand for whatever they use as "bones" in AIs? Poly-organic bone? Polymer bone?

Carl Fink

There's a reason I own nitpicking.com -- I read these last couple of comics and think, "But a latte only has the caffeine of 2 or 3 bottles of Coke. Has Sam really reached that age and never drunk a Mountain Dew?"

Brian

If I don’t see a dump truck full of dogs soon i will be disappointed

Jax

Dump truck full of dogs can be either really awesome or really really really fucking sad

awgiedawgie

Most 14 year old girls I know would be just as wired after 3 bottles of Coke in that short of a time. So I'm not a bit surprised that Sam is acting that way. Her Dad probably restricts her intake of soda - and wisely so. He probably didn't expect her to start drinking coffee until she was older.

Miyaa

Can’t wait for the cloaking emu to calm Sam down.

Erin Moriarty

I love the way you've drawn Sam :-D

Chas Simmons

If Faye wants to "get" Dora, she need only tell Jim about this.

Sleepy John

When Sam crashes, it’ll be Blue’s turn to comment in her faulty anatomy.

Andrew

Buttside manner, Sam.

Bagge

She DID say please and ask for permission

OldGoat

If it hasn't worn off by the time Jim herds her to bed, he's going be REALLY mad a Faye. OTOH, if it has worn off and Sam crashes and burns, it'll be the most peaceful night they've had in that house in ages and he'll be giving Faye props for working the kid hard enough to wear her out.

JMK

Is it weird that I sort of want to see that robot butt?

The Shadow's Lair

hope this doesn't turn into Sam being adhd because that's not how coffee affects adhd people. Love the comic though that AI's expressiin
