Ok, Mari is srsly cute in the pigtails / happy expression. Nice to see her cheerful for a bit.
Seriously nerding out about the exposition. Ghost in the Shell / Anne McCaffrey mashup!
Thanks DSL, been wondering too about the text of those background signs too. Anyone catch what the Idoru one said?

Since the current arc is focused on AI's in QC world, I wonder if Next Monday's comic will have a reference to the most famous fictional AI of all?

Given that today's comic already referenced one of the more obscure fictional AI's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rei_Toei - Idoru by William Gibson) ... quite possible!
Also, to add to the 'famous fictional AI' list:
- Neuromancer & Wintermute
- Roy Batty
- WOPR
BTW: Hi everybody, new person here!

But, a robot working at a shop that sells robots? It's like selling your own tribe into slavery. Unless, of course, it's just a chassis shop, in which case it's more like working at a tailor's. But Momo's crying implies the AIs come from there as well.

I just thought she had a funky bluetooth headset on...

Your answer is in your list - next Monday's comic is number 2001.

Eh, that's very debatable. While I'm a big fan of HAL, there are more famous fictional A.I.'s...C-3P0, for instance.
