Method of Madness:
I'm surprised nobody's responded to today's comic with DON'T YOU JUDGE HIM YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO JUDGE HIM.
Modifier: I was reading forward from there, saw this. So if something like that is less than "four grand" (since Pintsize says "part of"), then I'd put Momo's new chassis as low as three digits. Especially if all the computer parts are the same, and it's basically just buying a nicer case to put the innards in.

Who said she didn't take out a loan? The purchasing scene was left out. Monthly payments could destroy the food budget for a long time.
If Momo's dream chassis was 30k (possibly the one in the dream she had), I can't imagine this one being a whole lot less than that. 20k was just being safe. There's no joint creases like the robot saleswoman had, so this must be one of the newer and more expensive models.
gangler:
My dream computer setup would be at least 20K. The computer setup I have is still downright jizztacular and all in all I think it's around 1.7K.
The dream chassis was just that imo. A dream. Like I said elsewhere it was probably damn near indestructible, had advanced weapon systems, Olympian physical abilities, could transform, and all sorts of crazy shit.
Method of Madness also had a good catch there. If a rare collectors military grade chassis is priced at four or five after damages grand then I can't imagine whatever Momo has right now is worth a full blown 20k.
I mean we'll see how this all looks once witness the afteraffects, but as I stated earlier a cutback to the food budget isn't necessarily as big a deal as it sounds. I do it all the time for my own stupid crap. I'd willingly do it for any loved one without too much though. I wouldn't go hungry, but just not eating as well for a while isn't gonna be devastating.

Marigold did. She said, "I can afford it. I'll...I'll just eat Ramon for a while." That doesn't sound like monthly payments for a long time. You take out a loan when you *can't* afford it; you have to borrow money in order to make the purchase. I seriously doubt that Marigold would have even taken her to that specific store unless she knew she could swing a purchase.
Also, ever take out a loan? They don't let you drive off the lot with the merchandise until you're approved, which takes more than a few days.
Yeesh...strong-arming relationships and buying love...fun week.
HotelFoxtrot:
Today's comic was a breath of fresh air after a stressful week with floods, power outages, working from a library's wifi hub on business day 1 blah blah blah...
At first I wasn't crazy about the idea of replacing little Momo with big Momo but this is a really sweet outcome.
This may be the topic of a separate thread (maybe "What do the QC characters really sound like"), but does anyone besides me imagine Momo with a slight Japanese accent?
