He'll never be able to use that USB port again.
Gladstone:
Jeph really needs to work on finding a separate style for his two comics, because this looks like Faye just wandered onto the set of an upcoming Alice storyline. It's way too early for a crossover.
Edit: Sorry, that sounded less snobby in my head. Still, the look of this strip (location and new character) feels more like it belongs in Alice Grove, so it's just a bit jarring to see it in QC instead.
BenRG:
Well... If nothing else, they need a cleaner. I know that dirt isn't as much as an issue for synthetics as it is for organics but, even so, there are going to be a lot of exposed machinery in this place and I, for one, wouldn't want grime getting into my joints, servos and interface sockets!
Meanwhile... Am I the only one who thinks that Jeph based Big Red's face on Alice?
Also, a prediction: Big Red is going to be Faye's 'interface', the character she talks with to get her questions answered. She might even end up as her friend!
Finally, yes, it occurs to me that if you are going to have illegal prize fights, then illegal cyber-porn is a logical side-business. I have no doubt that, to Faye's biological eyes, it will look like an exercise in practical multi-device peer-to-peer networking.
[EDIT]
P.S.: Jeph's news post puzzles me. If Big Red's name is 'Bubbles', then I, for one, would insist on hearing her back-story. The thought that she might be the companion/guardian to a sweet little girl occurs to me.

Title of the comic is "Her Name Is Bubbles". I want the backstory too!

--- Quote ---Massive fighting robots to face off in battle
A Japanese developer of massive robots has accepted a challenge to battle from a U.S. rival.
Wearing American flags as capes, MegaBots co-founders Matt Oehrlein and Gui Cavalcanti issued their challenge to Japanese robot maker Suidobashi in a video posted to YouTube.
"We have a giant robot. You have a giant robot. You know what needs to happen," Oehrlein says in the clip.
Suidobashi has accepted that challenge.
"We can't let another country win this. Giant robots are Japanese culture," says Suidobashi CEO Kogoro Kurata in a response video.
Both of the robots, MegaBots Inc.'s Mark II and Suidobashi Heavy Industry's Kuratas, are piloted by humans from within a cockpit. The Mark II weighs 6,800 kilograms, has massive paintball guns in place of arms and requires two pilots to operate. The Kuratas, which has been in development for three years, is much lighter than its American rival, has a single pilot and carries a BB Gatling cannon capable of firing 6,000 rounds per minute .
