Timemaster:
Good morning,
I see no cellphone or anything else in Mays hand in panel two. So I suppose it´s some kind of build-in device she activates by raising her Hand to her ear. Nice idea by Jeph.
On the oher hand the humanoid AIs use verbally communication not only with humans, but between each other too. My guess is that they want to appear as human as possible not to freak people out or to raise prejudices against AIs. And verbal communication is a center trait of human existance and behaviour. The support group could be easily held online without the AIs having to leave their houses.But they meet personally in the convention center. And I see only one explanation: to act and behave as humans do, to embrace humanity as far as possible.
A built-in communicator would not really fit into this philosophy.
I like jheartney´s analysis of May´s body language in yesterdays strip. Jeph is really good at giving his characters the right gestures and body-stances to express their feeling. (He´s really good at hands too. Hands are difficult. He´s less good on feet and shoes though. ;-) )
Arachnoid porn. Eeek! :-o
"Come over here, you dirty little spider-stud. I´ll bite your head off!"
"Yeah baby. Give it to me!"
No, I´d rather not take this thought any further...

I love how yellow bot has an ulna and a radius.

If it's a cell phone, it seems weird that a machine is talking to another machine to talk to a human. :psyduck:

Even without a phone, it does make sense with her holding her hand up there. This way she will look to the casual observer as someone talking with someone else, rather than to herself.
Edit:
I really like how upbeat Momo is, even when dealing with May, or crap from work. She knows how to be tough when needed, but has a pleasant nature over all.

--- Quote from: Energia on 07 May 2015, 20:25 ---So given that Marigold eventually gifted Momo her chassis, Are May's relationship with Dale, Momo's with Marigold, and Marten's with Faye all equivalent now?
--- End quote ---
May and Dale are equivalent to Marten and Faye, but I believe Momo and Marigold are still under their companionship contract. In practical terms I don't see that there's much actual difference, but that contract's still there.
--- End quote ---
So is the companionship contract equivalent to a same-sex marriage?

I think that the Yellow Robot belongs to a fan of the Golden Age of Sci-fi
May is either growing on me or I'm going to want to drop a Acme 4000lb Anvil on her.
