THAT is funny! I just can't see Momo doing all the cyber$#x and having Marten ghost link her at the wrong time being something Jeph would do. Then again after that strip where Pintsize was wearing the Fleshlight and had a cartoon of Dora's hindquarters taped to his back, perhaps anything is possible! ECCCCH! I can't get that Pintsize image out of my head. Singed my retinas on that one!
Boomslang:
Picked Raven, because even though I don't like her all that much individually, I really enjoy the strips where she's interacting with the rest of the cast. I wouldn't mind seeing Pintsize attempt to shock her with his antics and fail spectacularly.
I'm honestly not surprised that there's a lot of hostility towards AI, and it doesn't even seem like it'd necessarily be religious. AI's have the ability to swap bodies as often as they can afford it, they have very few needs that are easily met so they can spend more time focusing on the things they enjoy, and they're effectively immortal in a way humans don't appear to be yet. I can see and even sympathize with people who'd be freaking out over what is both an admitted takeover by the over-AI and the effective replacement of human beings by entities that not only have advantages now, but whose capabilities are increasing at a rate approaching Moore's law. It's like Skynet, if skynet was more into adult alternative than black metal (seriously, all of the skulls and flames and whatnot? Totally metal).
Is it cold in here?:
Some humans will automatically hate anything different without being motivated by actual reasons. Then some other humans will attribute anything scary done by a member of a minority group to the group as a whole, and we know that some AnthroPCs have violated social conventions.
The fact that AIs "don't do religion" is probably enough by itself to set off a particular subset of bigots. That's a bigger difference from humans than being made of plastic is.

Which is funny since there are plenty of humans made of plastic.
