Lost In The Crowd
Added 2024-08-25 11:37:50 +0000 UTCsorry, fell asleep before I could post this last night
Comments
It's especially profound coming from Moray, who doesn't have a dermal covering xD
enchantedsleeper
2024-08-27 02:40:40 +0000 UTCI like to believe that in addition to Pockets Bot, there are also Pocket Bots
Allegra Lundy
2024-08-27 01:55:11 +0000 UTCI think she's giving them noogies on their arm, one of Roko's terrifying superpowers over Yay.
Clifton Royston
2024-08-27 01:22:57 +0000 UTC"I love your dermal covering" would be really creepy coming from a non-AI.
Hugh Eckert
2024-08-26 16:45:25 +0000 UTCStill would be better than the other show "Everybody Loves..." whatshisface. That guy that played Manny in "Ice Age"... π
David Paul
2024-08-26 10:03:32 +0000 UTCI think Yay is nervous because they are socially inept and know it, despite all their bluster.
Clifton Royston
2024-08-26 08:05:38 +0000 UTCThey are SHY! (Now, go to bed, Jeph.)

2024-08-26 03:39:20 +0000 UTCJeph, how you feeling? I hope you are getting lots and lots of rest! That is the most important thing right now for your recovery! Sending good wishes
Chelsea
2024-08-26 02:04:27 +0000 UTCShe seems cheerful about it, or I'd worry.

2024-08-26 01:51:57 +0000 UTCMelon and Moray both have that wide-eyed innocence about them, too. I like it.

enchantedsleeper
2024-08-26 00:30:01 +0000 UTCI *think* she's flicking them, but that definitely raises interesting possibilities :D
enchantedsleeper
2024-08-26 00:29:09 +0000 UTCIf not for the chipper-ness, I would say Jeph has written Murderbot into QC xD (Murderbot loves pockets)
enchantedsleeper
2024-08-26 00:28:33 +0000 UTCSee, I feel like Morlon is the obvious ship here, but Melizaboom just works for me.
Gary Walker
2024-08-26 00:26:49 +0000 UTCMelon and Moray would make more sense to me Though it would definitely result in entirely new, unknown forms of disaster

Fart Captor
2024-08-26 00:03:01 +0000 UTCI love how incredibly stupid Yay is being. It's like watching a dog get all worked up about a cat one tenth its size
Fart Captor
2024-08-26 00:02:03 +0000 UTC"Reconnoiter" is such a good word. It's fun to say.
Chris Warren
2024-08-25 23:51:40 +0000 UTC@Andrea Andrew just to be clear, the odd part is not because it's a non-binary/female couple, it's the contrasting personalities.
Not that Patrick Foltz
2024-08-25 23:11:43 +0000 UTC@Andrea Andrew that remains Martin and Claire currently, everything about their relationship, especially their communication. Been important to me personally as it inspired me to be a better communicator in my marriage.

2024-08-25 22:33:56 +0000 UTCBubbles is staring enviously at pocket-bot's outfit.
BookBeard
2024-08-25 21:32:00 +0000 UTCThey're so shyyyyy dooby dooby doo doo doo
SpookyPenguin
2024-08-25 21:27:51 +0000 UTCThey also have a utility hat, which is why I settled on pocket bot. I assume the pants are also heavily adorned
Derek
2024-08-25 21:27:48 +0000 UTC... in the mirror? Liz is behind her.
Carl Fink
2024-08-25 21:15:41 +0000 UTCAfter reading your message, I started searching the art for a bot in another bot's vest or pants pocket. Then I realized what you meant. But now, I want there to be PocketBot, who lives in UtilityVestBot's pockets.
Carl Fink
2024-08-25 21:11:47 +0000 UTCNah, keeping an eye on the gremlin.
Richard Durrer
2024-08-25 21:01:41 +0000 UTCJeph, you have or just had a life threatening illness. You need rest to heal. Go to bed
Todd Ellner
2024-08-25 21:00:34 +0000 UTCI'll bet it's Yay.
Ron Braithwaite
2024-08-25 20:54:29 +0000 UTCI have to ask what Bubbles is looking at. Her expression is incredibly intense.
Joseph Bonnar
2024-08-25 20:50:25 +0000 UTCPictures. Of the AI's and humans they know. AND! Pictures of every fluffy dog they've ever seen or imagined.

Bagge
2024-08-25 19:11:56 +0000 UTCLiz is a scientist. She could be doing research.
Gary Walker
2024-08-25 19:09:42 +0000 UTCIt looks like the back wall includes bench seating where Bubbles is.
Maurice Kessler
2024-08-25 17:57:37 +0000 UTCExcept it's unfortunately on CBS broadcast tv, so it won't be very well written.
Maurice Kessler
2024-08-25 17:51:40 +0000 UTCIt's safer that way.
Alacrity Fitzhugh
2024-08-25 17:47:59 +0000 UTClol I'm loving Moray getting all this attention, and Liz riding on Bubbles is just wonderful. take time and rest Jeph, I worried more with you being late that you were feeling terrible. ~<3
Mitsuki Ayane
2024-08-25 17:42:35 +0000 UTCwhy pocket, when you can bird. ~<3
Mitsuki Ayane
2024-08-25 17:38:23 +0000 UTCOh no. They were lost in the crowd. For an entire panel. π π€£
legobil
2024-08-25 17:37:29 +0000 UTCMakes you wonder what exactly they're carrying and why. I can't imagine an AI would need anything other than keys, maybe a wallet, and maybe a backup USB power bank.
fluffy
2024-08-25 17:33:29 +0000 UTCLove the 'pockets' gag - the AI saying "It must be so nice to never need pockets" is wearing a vest with at least 8 pockets and a cap with two more...
Brian Leahy
2024-08-25 17:09:46 +0000 UTCIn Panel 3, it *almost* looks like Roko is pulling Yay along by the tips of their hair (but not in a rough way, more like an "I can't actually make you do anything you don't want to, but that's why we're here, so..." kind of annoyed nudge way) and I really like it
Allegra Lundy
2024-08-25 16:29:51 +0000 UTCPocket bot is my favorite.
Derek
2024-08-25 16:27:04 +0000 UTCI like the peach-colored AnthroPC's little eyelashes.
William Cole
2024-08-25 16:27:03 +0000 UTCMaybe Liz has been give Bubbles Stealth lessons, since she's an expert.
William Cole
2024-08-25 16:22:14 +0000 UTCYes, because she's an ex-cop, that's why Roko would enjoy a shop that provides delicious baked goods. Definitely that. No other reason.
BookBeard
2024-08-25 15:46:02 +0000 UTCYou could put bits of Moray in all your pockets to smuggler her into places.
Timothy Roller
2024-08-25 15:44:17 +0000 UTCI feel like if Yay and Moray would talk about their love of the outdoors, what kind of Subaru they drive, and how Portlandβs Voodoo Doughnuts are so overrated they might actually bond. (Roko, being an ex-cop, will like any doughnut shop.)

Shawn K. Younkin
2024-08-25 15:11:40 +0000 UTCThey have interacted a couple times since then. Bubbles contacted Yay to acquire Emmet's mother's phone number, and Yay made a recent visit to the repair shop. https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5046 https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5240

Wynn Donivan
2024-08-25 14:33:20 +0000 UTCPretty sure Luz likes big boobs, not big butts.
Andrea Andrew
2024-08-25 13:57:01 +0000 UTCYou mean nonbinary Yay?
Andrea Andrew
2024-08-25 13:55:53 +0000 UTCI can relate, Jeph. After taking a strong edible, I fell asleep at 4 and woke up around 9. Moray is popular!! Roko and Yay continue to be adorable. I remember when Spooky Bot was built up as scary.
Andrea Andrew
2024-08-25 13:55:18 +0000 UTCI grew up with the redheaded kid in panel two. Also, feel better Jeph!
Doc Gumby
2024-08-25 13:53:52 +0000 UTCRokyay is my favorite odd couple
Not that Patrick Foltz
2024-08-25 13:38:06 +0000 UTCTake care of yourself, Jeph! Hope you're doing better.
Ingrid NordbΓΈ
2024-08-25 13:36:54 +0000 UTCIt's likely that The Director and Station are aware of Yay's existence, but it remains to be seen just exactly how current or aware Moray is of The Director's knowledge. It appears that the Moray units are 'purpose built' with (nearly) just enough faculties to fit the purpose of a more effective communicator than they themselves seems to be.
Not that Patrick Foltz
2024-08-25 13:35:08 +0000 UTCReconnoiter? I hardly know 'er!
Logan Nix
2024-08-25 13:27:02 +0000 UTCI like the art parallel. Panel 2, Liz is behind and holding onto Bubbles, her emotional support bodyguard, a person whose former job was controlled violence (soldier). Panel 4, Yay is behind and holding onto Roko, their emotional support bodyguard, a person whose former job was controlled violence (cop). (Look at their right arm, it's clearly around Roko's waist.)
Carl Fink
2024-08-25 13:24:42 +0000 UTCI still think it's because Moray is part of the Director, another multi-embodied AI who Yay is maybe afraid is on their own level.
Carl Fink
2024-08-25 13:22:29 +0000 UTCI think Liz is sitting (/draping) on Bubbles xD
enchantedsleeper
2024-08-25 13:18:45 +0000 UTCI assumed she was sitting on Liz to make sure she didn't run away/drink
Bradley Richard
2024-08-25 13:14:10 +0000 UTCI so want all the other major AIs to know exactly who Yay is but to just be leaving them alone to be polite.
Tinwhisker
2024-08-25 13:12:05 +0000 UTCThere's also a Liefeldian amount of feet (not) on display...
Leak
2024-08-25 12:52:09 +0000 UTCIs Bubbles ducking or crouching? Because she caught sight of Yay while on overwatch? Have Yay and Bubbles interacted since the post-Emily-explorer virtual encounter?
Amelia Lewis
2024-08-25 12:39:44 +0000 UTCMoray's "bloopy head thingy" reminds me of some 1940s womens' hairstyles. It's sweet. Jeph, your body's telling you to sleep, so don't worry about us--listen to it.
ValdVin
2024-08-25 12:33:40 +0000 UTCoh THIS is where that pic of the robots dancing to daft punk was set
Tamara Macadam
2024-08-25 12:33:32 +0000 UTCNow shipping Liz and Melon. No real idea why.
Gary Walker
2024-08-25 12:29:29 +0000 UTCJeph, your health always takes priority over the comic, otherwise the comic would not be able to exist. Rest whenever you need to and we'll wait patiently. I love Yay, and I wish I had a friend like Roko to chaperone me when I'm feeling shy but still want to participate.
Orion Rhine
2024-08-25 12:22:17 +0000 UTCI love Bubbles and Liz in the second panel.
Czarzhan
2024-08-25 12:21:29 +0000 UTCindeed, multiple people have used Bubbles as a jungle gym, Liz ain't the first
LH
2024-08-25 12:08:31 +0000 UTCThey're just...evaluating.
Edward Clayton Andrew
2024-08-25 12:05:31 +0000 UTC100 percent Moray will know who yay is.
Ren Doiron
2024-08-25 11:52:20 +0000 UTCI love Liz. If I had a friend who was bigger than me the way Bubbles is to Liz I'd be hanging on them like that all the time. Also love that extra in the first panel who looks like Winslow except (to use May's words) be-titted. Deluxe Regular Girl with short hair, or Deluxe Regular Boy with special modifications? Hope you feel better soon! The fatigue and exhaustion with covid is so real
Ashbury Haight
2024-08-25 11:51:53 +0000 UTCAww. everyone loves Moray, she's an AI celebrity. And Yay is adorable being nervous.
Thisguy
2024-08-25 11:51:28 +0000 UTCWait, is Yay nervous because her ΓΌber-AI powers donβt work on Morayβs slime-based physiology?
