It would have probably been easier for people to guess it back in whatever old thread if it hadn't involved the street the shop is on.

And my dream of Assbutts, Inc has been shot down before even being suggested. :(
Ah well. Maybe Gorillaz can make it into a new song.

I'm wondering how many other AI-based clinics there are in QC world. From May's previous predicament, it doesn't sound like it's a common type of service. I wonder how far it will go in replicating human health care; will there eventually be insurance policies Ais can buy to help out with unexpected catastrophic care? Would Faye and Bubbles be equipped to handle such care?

I hope not because they'd be getting involved with something more corrupt than Corpse Witch and more powerful than Spooky Bot... The insurance industry!
Is it cold in here?:
AIs are full citizens and QC Massachusetts has good health care availability, so much so that coffee shop employees have group coverage.
Yet May couldn't get her chassis breakdown covered.
Perhaps the law simply hasn't caught up yet.
Maybe the AIs opted out! Being in a health insurance pool with organics would be hella expensive for limited benefit.

Less that she couldn't get chassis coverage and more to do with the fact that she is still a recent parolee and therefore low on the list of AI the government is willing to get a more advanced chassis to. At this stage, an RC car would have been a step up over what May was given.
Nycticoraci:
Faye's box has changed in the final panel! It's no longer a font message. I wonder why it changed?
