Even though Hanners doesn't do hugs, she reluctantly accepts one from Winslow. <3
QuestionableIntentions:
Ah yes, The "Facehugger Custom Deluxe", always a customer favourite.
Timemaster:
Facehugger?
Or do you mean a headcrab? :-D
Good choice Winslow, not to take the model on display but another one with a different skincolour. This one looks much better.
Hannelore accepts Winslows embrace because she knows he´s a robot. She learned that from Momo´s embrace, remember? But she´s clearly uncomfortable with it. It is always difficult to overcome long-term anexities, even if the brain tells you that they don´t apply in a specific situation. Beautifully drawn by Jeph. :-)

Is it cold in here?:

Global Moderator Comment That's not at all foreshadowed in the comic.
BenRG:
Lots of interesting subtext in today's strip. Most importantly, what Winslow says in panel 3 suggests very strongly that he was in a reduced sensory environment in his previous chassis. Jeph being Jeph, this is brushed over but I can't help but wonder if some AIs are inadvertently being abused by being put in chassis that have limited sensory outfits and thus give them a reduced window on the world. So reduced that (like Momo before him) Winslow will do anything to keep this new life he's gained. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that Jeph is lightly touching on a possible civil rights issue beginning to emerge here.
We also now know why Iris has this job: She likes getting warm hugs from AIs who are on a sensory high from their new bodies and thus may not be as reserved as they would be normally!
Meanwhile... Reggie, old son, I do know where you're coming from. That said, can you conceive a possible reason why some people might be reluctant to get a hug from a flying robot octopus? This is the second or third time we've had it shown that AIs in really exotic chassis tend to be either in denial about or totally unable to perceive why some people might be nervous around them.
