Platypodes:
Y'know, Momo seems pretty well able to deal with Marigold acting like a booger sometimes. She's ticked off right now, but I don't think she's being subjugated and abused.
Good point by Marsman about the retcon of the role of AI's in the QC-verse. I'm not really bothered by the retcon, but it does play hell with any attempt at analyzing the nuances of relationships between AI's and humans over the course of the strip. Probably best not to try to go too deep into the history of Momo & Marigold's relationship since it started out in an era of the strip in which AI's were more like funny pets.
Re: the question of whether Marigold is too immature for a relationship... Dale is similarly immature when it comes to ladies (and perhaps socially in general--do we know if Dale has any friends?), so they're well matched to belatedly start their dating lives at the high school level. Not always pretty, but you gotta start somewhere.
FunkyTuba:
Momo's social protocol database I'm sure shows plenty of graceful ways to handle this situation. She has shown enough agency and grace in the past to make me think that after she calms down a bit she'll find a way to take the "you owe me" out of the equation and then come back to Marigold (after she calms down a bit) as her friend and help her through this.
Marigold's being a butt. Friends help people who are being a butt not be a butt.

I love this line.
jwhouk:
And Friday's strip is going to be SO interesting.
I think the pause in that one panel is probably because Momo had to do a deep search in her social protocol database for "how does one react to a question like that?"
blacksinow:
I think what we need to take into account is Marigold's reaction in the last panel. She has the same entitled attitude that I've seen on many gamers, and one of many reasons why I utterly despise her.
