Faye Drank Hers Already

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

The Shadow's Lair

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

JMK

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.

I'm reminded of a Girl Genius arc (http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20070523). But then, your comic of Angus and the mocha (https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1122) brings to mind Von Mekkhan's reaction to Agatha's coffee later in that arc.

MOOD

Dylan T

She DID say please and ask for permission

Bagge

Buttside manner, Sam.

Andrew

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

Sleepy John

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

Chas Simmons

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

Erin Moriarty

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

Miyaa

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.

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

Jax

And at least she asked first.

awgiedawgie

Whoever gives mutual consent.

Edward Clayton Andrews

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

Brian

What’s a Po bone?

Nitron F117

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?"

Carl Fink

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

Gonna be phenomenally successful!

Diptych

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

Brian French

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

Danya Michael

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

Andrew Mitchell

She and Emily must never caffeinate together.

Danya Michael

I like how Sam is vibrating

Grace Kieser

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.)

Amy ☣

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

Matt Grayson

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!)

BobC

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

Josh

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.

Rob McBobson

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

Matt Grayson

Wired Sam is the best Sam.

Michael Boettger

HA! I like *MOST* children.

Vilinda

The sudden change in tone was perfect.

Joel Bateman

But poke, right?
