Not just the first two. She mirrors her right trough the whole strip. Evil prodigal sister, aparently...

me, too. I have the worst craving for cookies and store bought just ain't going to cut it. Have to check on my baking supplies.
cesium133:
Maybe I should thaw out the dough I made last week and bake some cookies...
Kugai:
And the moral of the story is never make fun of your Mom when she's baking cookies
Otherwise they'll all go to Faye

Yes, I agree. I feel the same way when I catch myself doing the same sort of thing on racial issues, for example, and feel like a jerk for doing so. I guess that as long as one is critical of ones own behaviour, and keeps trying to do better, one is trying to live up to Momo's standard.
Robots eating, or rather simulating eating, is an interesting question. For a very human-looking personal companion robot, the ability to simulate eating might help them blend in in a social environment, but potentially it might creep people out if the robot is still detectable as a robot. There is a scene in The Caves of Steel where Elijah Bailey and R. Daneel Olivaw "eat" together, and the robot Olivaw reveals that he simulates eating to blend in, storing the food in a teflon-plastic bag inside his torso that he empties later. Bailey is OK with that, though somewhat offended by the waste of food (Earth hovers on the brink of starvation in this book), but disgusted when Olivaw goes on to offer his ingested but clean, unchewed, and undigested food to him as an extra meal...

Wow, that almost sounds like a joke Jeph would do. (Also that book is amazing and anyone who likes robots [all of us here] should read it.)
