WCDT: 2593-2597 (09-13 December 2013) Weekly Comics Discussion Thread
Schmorgluck:
It may be "just" a comic (as opposed to be what, by the way?), it still has characters in it. Characters who behave in certain ways. And people end up having opinions about the characters' behaviours.
But yeah, "Hamlet" is just a play.
Barmymoo:

Since robots can't taste the coffee, I don't think this is prejudice as much as common sense. I would not pay money to drink coffee made by someone who has never tasted coffee themselves either.
Momo does shower, she had a shower after the frog-catching walking trip with Sam and Padma if I remember correctly (she objected vehemently to the suggestion of putting her chassis in the dishwasher).
Mr_Rose:
Not her chassis, just her external covering.
I imagine Jeph wasn't too enamoured of having to draw a Terminator either. So many fiddly bits!
Schmorgluck:
Marten has a well-documented poor taste when it comes to coffee.
Is it cold in here?:
In late, but to amplify what ZoeB said, Momo was vividly conscious of being plastic even while she was explicitly being treated like someone made of meat.
"Now and then we all are aliens", and a lot of people here know all about being misfits, but most of us can put it out of our minds temporarily. The experience of having that knowledge be as omnipresent as a kidney stone is qualitatively different.
Evidently it's like that for trans* people, which must be one of the reasons it's so terrible to to look at one with the intent of figuring out how masculine or feminine their appearance is.
Derec: Welcome, new person! Good insight. She's had to be pressured to leave her comfort zone but that's a treatment with severe side effects.
Schmorgluck: there was an earlier Hannerblast, when Dora and Marten were fighting and she broke it up as though she were her mother's daughter.
EDIT with more thoughts:
Momo can legally walk out, but not without cost. She's emotionally bonded to Marigold and it would hurt as much as a divorce.
What's the cartoon where Marten says he's really the boss of Pintsize because he pays the electric bill? My archive-fu has failed.
