Gosh, these recent strips are beginning to remind me more and more of Chobits. Has anybody else watched that series?

Isos are more than "just" AI though; they're full up hi-res simulations of human(ish?) bodies, with nervous systems and bones etc, just like an Encoded User, except they were never encoded by the laser thing and originated in the Grid. All the Program Avatars you see are basically textured hollow shells, just like any other 3D computer model you might find. What's "inside" them is their code and little else whereas if you look inside an Iso you find meat, or at least a highly accurate simulation of meat - they're an extra layer of abstraction above the regular Program interface.

So long as Momo doesn't have an off switch in her vagina (or, for that matter, a vagina), that comparison is okay by me.

I knew I wasn't alone in this.... That's why the latest couple of strips has been a little creepy for me. I still like the series though. Amusing.
