jwhouk:
Wait, no WCDT? What is this, anyways?

Tova:
I'm down with the awkwardness.

When I read the OP, my automatically mind filled in: "What is this, Bush Week?"

That's because that was what Dad would say to my brothers and me when we were up to shenanigans as kids.

We would inevitably reply, "No, it's Banana Sunday," which would get us into all kinds of trouble if we'd misjudged the seriousness of the situation.

I later learned that the correct response was actually "Yes, and you're the sap." It's probably for the best that we didn't know this at the time.

It's an Australian thing, apparently. Don't ask me, I just live here (or just google it like I had to).

Method of Madness:
The houk starting a WCDT? WHAT YEAR IS THIS?

BenRG:
I find myself wondering if Jeph is planning to use the occasion of Bubbles' visit to the apartment to answer a few questions about humanform AI chassis. However, I also think that we may have one or two strips where Jeph uses Bubbles and her nature as a way to further explore the others' personalities.

Yeah, Pintsize has a point. Some people can put more threat into a quiet, polite request than others can into imminent physical violence. It's just something Bubbles is good at, I guess.

What's the answer to his question? Well, in engineering terms, if the pubic area of the chassis has the same receiving 'roots' as the scalp then it would be possible to do this. Has Bubbles done this? None of his business and I have no idea why he asked other than to further embellish his reputation as a pervert.

Here's the thing though: The more I think about it, the less Bubbles' chassis makes in-universe narrative sense. Why fit a military chassis with such elaborate cosmetic details? I'm wondering if this is a military chassis at all or whether, in a moment of guilt about what she's been through (both as a soldier and with the scorn and rejection she's received since) someone gave Bubbles a high-fidelity humanform chassis with military accessories in the hope that she'd be able to find some kind of happiness.

sitnspin:
I assume the purpose in giving her human features is to aid in group bonding with her team. Humans are more likely to form an attachment with a being that looks like them than with one that looks more like a machine. Combat units require a tight sense on unity and emotional attachment to work together at maximum efficiency.
