Also, is it just me, or are waists being drawn really weirdly lately? I can't put my finger on why they look weird, but they look weird.

--- Quote from: Neko_Ali on 25 Nov 2015, 15:26 ---Does it occur to no one that Momo can control the power of her taser burst? That she doesn't have to or indeed does use it with intent to kill every time she uses it? That the force could have been the equivalent of punching a friend who made a crude and inappropriate comment about the form (or in this case, existence) of her genitals. I am not saying this excuses physical violence in response to crude language and inappropriate questions. But there is a level of difference between punching a friend and pulling out a gun and shooting them. It's pretty unlikely Momo's heading to Robot Jail over this. And even less likely that May will be the one to report her.

arcing electricity follows fairly predictable rules. circuitry also responds fairly predictably to current.
seeing as how a simple static spark (arc measured in millimeters) can fry a computer motherboard, any arc covering the distance shown in the comic would easily destroy a cpu/ram/other. if May were grounded... the current would bypass her circuitry, but she wouldn't go all "ajfhaskfhdskehf" like she does in the comic were that the case.

Except that electricity (and for that matter mechanical damage) has never, ever permanently damaged on AnthroPCs. Even when they appear to be impaired in ways resembling brain injury, they recover quickly.
If it's not cartoon physics in action, then AnthroPCs must be practically impervious to damage (or somehow self-repairing, though I'm not sure if nanotech has been mentioned in the comic yet). In that case all the apparent cognitive effects - lisping, stuttering, etc. - are deliberate reactions or programmed reflexes. AnthroPCs mimic a lot of behavior for communication and social purposes; it would make sense for them to have mock reactions to physical violence even if it doesn't damage them.
MrNumbers:
I think I've finally worked out just how invasive May's comments on Wednesday were. I present my analogy:
I imagine it'd be akin to someone staring at you with their Google Glasses on, taking a picture, and then watching them reverse image search that to find porn stars that look like you to decide how bangable you are right in front of you, while telling you that is what they are doing.

Jeph zoomed in and moved up a little. You can use the bottom of the chalk board as a reference to see her shoulders are in the same place even though the comic camera, as such, moved. Sven's bun and tilted head make his transition less dramatic.

Maybe Jeph is still adjusting to the metric system in Canada. :-)
