daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang.
I finally get people who are attracted to cartoons.
Maybe it's because Dale without glasses looks an awful lot like my husband when I first started dating him though.

I second this. I think he looks really handsome in that last panel.
So apparently he doesn't need glasses to see? That's interesting. Does that mean he has been only wearing Glasses that whole time, not regular glasses?
...why would he spend money on Glasses anyway. His financial situation confuses me.
Oh, idea. Maybe he is reading up on May on the Internet. I doubt he is the first ever to be in this situation.
CrowFairy:
I think... I think he just put her into a coma. The more I think about him turning off the Glasses, the more uncomfortable it makes me. Her existence is primarily determined by whether his Glasses are on or not.
And I agree that the glowing glasses have always kept him at a distance from us. It's hard to connect with him as a human being because we basically don't get to see him as we normally see others.

Agreed. Today's comic was a bit disturbing for me. It's obvious that AIs in this universe are fully sentient and capable of emotions, I certainly hope he didn't just kill May. There was genuine fear in her eyes as soon as he spoke of turning off the glasses. And the way she's flickering is just...unsettling.

If she's running in a data centre rather than on the Glasses themselves, I would assume it's more like he's dumped her into a senseless limbo. She probably has internet access but no other communication method.
Indicible:
So, Dale is a Gunnm fan...
In any case, the big question is whether May is still conscious when disconnected.
And then, if she is, is it ethical to disconnect her.
Reminds me of the ST:Voyager episode in which the holodeck characters acquire sentience and independance (yes, I watched ST:V. Sue me.).
Or the whole "am I human if I have a chip instead of a brain?" conundrum in Gunnm and Gunnm Last Order (relevant...).
