Am I the only one wondering if Creepybot knocked out Dora again?
I have to wonder if this is it or this arc may have one more twist like the thing that is worse than robot jail paying Creepybot a visit. They may not like meddling in their business. It could be the AI equivalent of the Guild of Calamitous Intent.

I kind of got the impression that Creepbot WAS worse than Robot Jail. Even if she's not the thing that Corpse Witch was referencing, the description is still apt. And, honestly, if something even more powerful than Creepybot shows up, my poor, ailing suspension of disbelief is just going to wither up and die.

remember, this is a post singularity society.. nobody understands how the AI's work.. If you dig deeper, you're probably going to find larger, more powerful, much older AI's... It's turtles all the way down mate..

Took me a moment to recognise Punchbot in that last Panel too.

It's the glasses..

Maybe I'm literal-minded, but a few questions occurred to me on a second look at today's comic:
1. Jeremy is now proprietor of the skating rink. Which apparently nobody skates at, because it was really a robot fighting ring. How will it stay open now?
2. Why is Basilisk knitting? Do robots get cold, and need sweaters and hats and scarves? (This raises the larger question of why the humaniform AIs wear clothes; they have no genitalia to cover, so why bother? CW was an interesting case of a non-humaniform AI who favored skirts. And of course there are plenty of unclothed robots.)
3. Creepybot tells Emily that Bubbles' mindspace could be instructive in future. How would that work? Is Emily going back in there? Because all she saw the last time was a minimalistic virtual space with stacked doors and an empty room behind a lock; how does that constitute "research material?"
4. Punchbot turns out to be an accountant. This suggests he didn't need to fight for money; accountants make a decent salary. Which robots were the "underprivileged" ones May was talking about? And why does an AI need glasses?
