Given Momo's electronic self-defense capability, Dale will not have any chance to do anything inappropriate, even if he was so inclined (which he is not). That is, unless Momo's social interaction database deems it appropriate :-D
EDIT: Oops, the correct term is social protocol database. Another observation: Before Momo got her new body, she had square speech bubbles (meaning artificial ?), whereas now they are rounded (that is, same as humans). I suppose this means that Momo's voice now is indistinguishable from a human voice.

Ironic next comic: Marigold wakes up at the precise moment Dale passed out from lack of sleep.
Thrillho:
People, watching people sleeping is just like any other sexual or loving act. It's creepy outside of context. Be pretty creepy to kiss a stranger on the neck in the queue at the supermarket but I'm guessing most sexual partners would love it.

I'm quoting myself here, because I did some research. It appears that AnthroPC speech bubbles changed from square (artificial) to rounded (human) during an extended period where AnthroPCs were absent from the series. More precisely, in 1921 they were square, and in 1994 they were rounded. This corresponds to 15 weeks (our time).
Either Jeph forgot that AnthroPCs used to have square bubbles, or there was some software upgrade in this period that improved AnthroPC speech to human sounding quality. But this momentous event ought to have been documented?
EDIT: Dang. That is not correct either. Pintsize still has square bubbles. Perhaps Momo got the software upgrade, but not Pintsize?

I'm more concerned actually for Marigold. She's been socially awkward for god knows how long, so being in a date with Dale is a big shock to her it seems. Remember, this is a person who actually loathed the other over a MMO, and both antagonized each other and their first time together......was the equivalent of a shotgun wedding courtesy of Momo. And look how that turned out.
As much as Marigold has improved in not being socially awkward, ya can't exactly erase it all in one swoop. I imagine there will still be some lingering doubts here and there, even if Momo can vouch in the positive for Dale.
