Did we ever get a nude May as a Patreon bonus?

Miyaa

next strip is Steve eating cereal, per time honored tradition.

Joe

I thought hanners-face dot bmp was https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4525

Lucas Werkmeister

humans are imitation seawater after all

Lucas Werkmeister

Such smug shenanigans should sometimes be slightly sinister.

Doc Gumby

Yay and Moray shake hands, the Director's voice says NOW ENDS THE AGE OF MAN, comic strip ends.

Stephen Wells

because wifes

Fart Captor

Silly Spookybot, stacking statements with sequential s-syllables to substitute for sub-standard social skills.

BookBeard

I can't wait for Yay vs Bubs, it's gonna be lit

darkuncle

My thought exactly. If that's true, Yay's reaction should be picturesque.

Hugh Eckert

Why not both?

There really isn't a minimum safe distance anymore...

allanfranta

Why marry when you can just tarry?

allanfranta

murky and occluded present danger...

allanfranta

if she had a seam, the hydraulic pressure that keeps her formed would create a razor of fluid decapitating anyone in a 360 radius up to about 3'...

Jared Cyr

She doesn't have any parts to have seams. She is an amorphous semi-liquid (who is, so far the only such being - other than the other Moray units).

alphanor

Well she (and her... others) are secreted directly from the goop that makes up the "Director" (which seems to be like a giant Jellyfish). So... I think her entire body is basically nanite compute/memory/io nodes in a viscous suspension? So it since she is not robotic in nature, makes sense that she has no seams.

Kurtis S Whittington

Just now realized; Moray has no neck seam. She the only one without one?

Doc Gumby

Oh my god, it’d be like that old video of two Furbies talking to each other

Magic Chopstick Games

As soon as I saw the opening panels, I knew exactly the references you were making 😂

David Paul

The point was also hammered home in #3395 and #3396, as well.

David Paul

Came here to say this (and showing my age)

Chris East

Jeph, I hope you're recovering well. We're all out here parasocially worrying over you!

Clifton Royston

And ‘’testing’’…

Greg Matyola

yeah I thought that Moray was permanently autonomous. She explained it at some point recently

djellafine

They saw each other recently when Yay and Roko were at the repair shop. https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5240

BookBeard

I think Liz is catching on to social niceties faster than Yay.

Yelling Bird

I hope that things go well and Yay doesn't get so distracted that they cause themselves problems. Some part of me suspects that semi-autonomous Yay might be a sort of Sandbox experiment by the rest of Yay, and not fully possessed of unlimited self control.

Thomas Halpin

Is this the first time Bubbles has seen Yay since they helped with her memories? I'm excited to see how their interaction goes!!

Mandy Hoskins

Does Moray qualify as a translucent and present danger?

Sleepy John

Nailed it, Yay

Bagge

As you rightfully should call it. Sipping on your own gooey bag of Moray. Well, you won’t get a straw, really. But still!

legobil

Unlike Pintsize, Liz has no crumple zones.

Sammitch

Also Moray does seem at least moderately disinclined to rejoin the Director.

Damian

Oh, this is a fantastically bad idea. But Yay is in their teenager phase, so, that's really not going to stop them.

Michael Chui

Moray won't be able to see what Yay really is. But when she rejoins (POOLG!) the director, won't that being have all Moray's memories to study? If I were Yay I would keep a distance from Moray.

Joseph Bonnar

More of an involuntary nap than suspended animation, but a fair point nevertheless. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3393

BookBeard

That's because her situational awareness protocol is too busy determining how many people are currently checking her out. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3489

BookBeard

We hold this truth to be self-evident.

Scott

Not to mention their combined levels of well meaning ineptitude. They might destroy the world through good intentions alone.

BookBeard

But what about dora-face dot png https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2226 Or hanners-face dot tiff https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1490

Not that Patrick Foltz

AI shit about to get real (said no tech company ever)

SpookyPenguin

Well, *we* are, but Bubbles and Roko aren't.

Carl Fink

Liz knows when not to bother rolling for initiative

Andrew

It’s not really a rumble, more a goopy slither

Andrew

2nd panel Moray ?-face !!

LH

“Ugly bags of mostly water.”

Foal Papers

You know, with her seemingly limitless perkiness, maybe the most dangerous person for Moray to meet would be Beepatrice. The reinforcement loop would spiral out of control.

William Cole

Defo getting the civilian to Minimum Safe Distance.

William Cole

I thought we were more like brine mixed with saltine crackers than strictly be 70% water.

Miyaa

Really, aren't we all just saline sacks?

William Cole

Roko-face dot jpeg really rivals Claire-face dot gif.

Miyaa

Not even close. Remember that when we met Yay, they were able to put *humans* in suspended animation with just a thought. They're on another level.

Graydon Armstrong

It's not even a good power move, though. If the target doesn't catch it, it's useless. If they do, it puts them on the defensive and makes you look like you have poor social skills. Which for Yay, yeah.

Graydon Armstrong

Yeah, technically she's too young for me too, but if I were back in college I woulda been following her around like a lost puppygirl

Fart Captor

To be fair, bubbles doesn't know just how many hazards there are in the club right now

Phaine Of Catz

Roko in panel 3 is such a mood I have felt numerous times.

Shawn K. Younkin

I think Moray does know who Yay is and it's a genuine reaction. Yay has stated in a roundabout way she had looked into cubetown and I'm sure The Director has cataloged her time(s) of access.

Joe K

We are not just saline sacks, but we are all At Least that.

Chloë Salzenberg

"You are privileged to make our acquaintance" carries a whiff of Tomkinson's School Days.

ValdVin

Me too, except Liz. Still too young.

Andrea Andrew

Were they ever technically enemies? Spookybot came to them to help (back when they had normal speech balloons). Roko didn’t exactly threaten them with arrest time.

Andrea Andrew

Opening lines resembling "you're very pleased to meet me" are definitely one way to establish a new relationship

Frank Wales

We're more of donut than a sack

Joe K

Panel 1: Bubbles looks pleased to see Roko. Panel 2: Bubbles is mildly curious by what Roko means. Panel 3: Bubbles rolling her eyes and getting Liz out of the range to figure out what Yay is.

Czarzhan

How dare you, Sir Euan. How very dare you. How DARE you make me chuckle.

R L

Oh Bubbles *knows* some bullsh*t's about to go down.

R L

Liz is imprinting on Bubbles like a duckling

Todd Ellner

oh boy i'm sitting in antici - wait for it - pation of whats going to happen in the next strip.

Hawkeye

Whatnots? Where are my whatnots? -rolls out personal x-ray machine-

Holly Nelson

I'm still on the Roko x Yay enemies-to-lovers train but MorYay is promising too

Adarsh Nednur

The interaction between Yay and Moray is going surprisingly well for Moray because she doesn't know to be insulted and Yay probably that as some sort of power move. Like, for a normal person Yay could threaten them when they jab back at Yay's obnoxiousness, but Moray won't give them an in.

Davus Otho

Despicable. Wish I'd said it.

Maurice Kessler

I'm sitting here, trying to imagine the initial interaction between Yay and Liz. It's probably not a complete coincidence that there are 3 people between them at the moment.

Steve DeGroof

She saw the yeet.

Timothy Roller

Yay, no

Wynn Donivan

Seriously? Senorita saline sack? Yay's setting themselves up for quite a fall.

Doc Gumby

Do you hear that rumble in the distance? A horde of MorYay shippers approaches. Take cover!

BookBeard

Liz is far to gremlin to figure it out, especially once Yay starts winding her up.

Tannerbot

Yay should be hearing boss music right about now.

Anthony Gaglianese

Not "just", we do also have bones and whatnot.

Matthias Urlichs

Moray's face with the question mark in the second panel is such a mood

thelibrariancat

These are not all of the characters from this comic whom I would marry but they are all characters that I would marry 🥺

Fart Captor

Yay may not have an elevated opinion of themselves, given their capability, but they are remarkably smug about it anyway.

Tannerbot

Liz, at this point no one needs any warning that you can be a huge pain in the ass.

Rich Holmes

The bar is the best place to send Liz. She's armless.

Euan Troup

Umm, aren't human beings just a sack of saline with some proteins mixed in?

Captain Button

No, but Roko would glare at them if anything went sideways anyway

enchantedsleeper

She just saw Pintsize get tossed. She's not gonna end up the same way. And she loves Bubbles, butbsondo we all.

JMK

"Saline sack"? THAT's your opening, Yay?

enchantedsleeper

Could bubbles take yay?

Kenneth Harris

I’m just waiting for Liz to figure out what Yay is. That interaction would be interesting, to say the least.

Chauncey

100% chance that next time I'm in the hospital on painkillers or whatever (it's a when not an if) my addled brain is somehow gonna remember this specific comic and I'm gonna call my IV "senorita saline sack"

Ashbury Haight

Liz and Sven? That will be fine. Better than Liz and Yay interaction at least. Bubbles did good threat assessment

Brittany Huckey

Dun dun DUUUUNNNNHH!

Matt Grayson

Gotta love the honesty from Liz here.

Armcannon Productions

Yay is starting out completely in character, being totally insufferable, and so is Moray, being a total sweety. I think Bubbles is clearing the field of any potential collateral damage.

alphanor

Also, senorita saline sack?

Not that Patrick Foltz

She CAN learn!

Michael

Yaaaaaay

Magic Chopstick Games

Gremlins CAN learn!
