Morituri:
I was expecting (and still haven't ruled out) friction between Corpse Witch and Bubbles/Faye over May's repair. People were talking about the police raiding the place and May getting in parole trouble, but I was thinking that narratively it could easily be a part of the "Bubbles is increasingly disenchanted with Corpse Witch and the Fight Club" arc instead.
I like the interaction between May and Momo. They really do have a kind of "sisters" vibe going on, especially when they engage in good-natured snark.
I expect May to continue to be obnoxious and crude, but also to exhibit a fierce loyalty to Momo, Faye, and Bubbles if and when there is trouble of any kind. I just hope she doesn't get in trouble for it. I could easily see her punching a cop if someone is trying to arrest any of the three for any reason, and that sort of thing just doesn't go over well with the parole board.
Neko_Ali:
I don't know if she would go quite that far. She does have a powerful fear of going back to Robot Jail. On the other hand, she does have poor impulse control... If someone tried to hurt one of her friends she'd probably fly off the handle.
Roborat:
This page is great, and I liked the line: "not entirely a waste of resources, but mostly so". I am going to have to steal that. However, I have to admit, when I saw May in the last panel, I fully expected to see a Punchbot's fist shaped dent in her head.
Is it cold in here?:
Jeph said, in some long-ago Q&A, that AnthroPCs could change their personalities with software patches.
The May story line suggests he's changed his mind about that part of the world-building. If she could have installed an impulse control upgrade ...
Wait, that line of thought didn't go where I expected. This may be saying something alarming about the QC world's legal system. If the authorities could have ordered a software patch but incarcerated her instead, that says bad things about them, bad things that are plausible if you've read about human prisoners being denied education and educational materials.
sitnspin:
One could argue a unwanted software patch of that variety would be tantamount to mind control slash brainwashing. That's a serious violation of a sapient being's rights, far more do than incarceration.
