Coco Chanel was wrong about a lot of things...
I really like today's comic. The colours, and the way the viewpoint changes, are nice.

unless the lunch-money-taker had one as well. a bigger robot hand. with spikes.

I don't see Clinton using the Hand of Homicide on a bully stealing his lunch money.
However, a bully taking his sister's... size of bully, robot-hand, presence of spikes etc would be immaterial. They'd just make it easier - no need to hold anything back, no ethical issues about "disproportionate force".

I'm a little saddened though.
"And then you put yourself in a super-dangerous situation"
"Don't you lecture me about my personal safety. I live with that EVERY DAY."
I guess I was hoping that a post-singularity world, with AI people and orbital habitats would be a little less like this one in that regard. Though AI rights are something new and controversial to some, so it was no surprise. Of the characters, I'm still more like Momo than Claire.
Momo : Marigold's AnthroPC. Quite anime in design, slightly less anime in attitude. Very interested in AI history and civil rights.
Except I'm old enough to be Marigold's mother, and really quite staid. "Square" to use a word even older than I am. Just... maternal?

Did I just detect a Yu-gi-oh reference?
Also these last couple comics are definitely amusing to me. My younger brother is a little bit the same way it turns out. Without going into the whole thing this instant, we nearly went to jail one night a couple of months ago because he was all "protect sister RAAARGH".
It was pretty funny, if unexpected.

Even post-singularity, people are still people. And while they can be the best things, they can also be the worst.
