TheEvilDog:
So folks, what do we think is going to happen?

Will Sam continue her trip to the repair shop?

Will Faye and Bubbles be able to repair the accident prone Punchbot?

Lets find out, same QC time, same QC website!

BLT with rings:
I don't know what is going to happen next, but I think it is high time someone taught this prepubescent girl that it is not cute and adorable to go through life behaving like a brat.   

Humans do not break into other humans homes and then into their bedrooms while shrieking at them.  Even among dumb animals, if the pet did not already live in the house that behavior would be over the line.  Humans do not literally insert themselves into the health records, and bodies, of other sapient creatures while suffering no consequences.  Doing so will likely get you slapped silly if not arrested.

Sam needs to get wised up, and fast, or we'll soon be hearing about how banging another 8th grader was "the best day of her life!" and then a while later about how terrible it is that this little infant thing is sucking all the happiness out of her life; or God forbid, how her abortion was "the best day of her life!"   

TheEvilDog:
Wow, the ending of that got a little dark...

But consider this... Sam has no one in her life to direct her to becoming a responsible person. She's 12. Her parents are divorced; she lives with her father who has one of the most god awful jobs for spending time with kids, to the point where he really doesn't react to her shenanigans anymore. His current girlfriend is a world famous dominatrix whose own parenting skills have resulted in, well, Marten...

Sam is...exhuberant... enough to know that she's never going to have many friends, especially ones her own age. Just look at how she latched onto Faye. In Faye she has an older sister figure, one who gets her and understands where she is coming from. If Sam acts like a hyperactive child, it's because she is, she still needs to learn the boundaries that come with friends and being around other people. Whether or not Faye or Bubbles can provide that remains to be seen. This might be the first step towards Sam becoming that little bit more mature.

A Duck:
Comic!

Also, a robot using a fax machine!

A sentient robot using a fax machine

...

Who am I kidding, I'm sure the same will eventually happen in our world, if we do get sentient AI

BLT with rings:
I've no problem with Sam per se. 

I just think that it's time that Sam got some guidance in growing up.  I don't find it adorable that Sam gets to act like an obnoxious Pekinese while everyone else chuckles indulgently.

Maybe it's time that some of the other characters in the strip start acting like coaches for her and imparting life lessons. 

That to me would be a far more interesting story line than a week's worth of panels of Sam rummaging around inside of Punch Bot trying to find his keys while the rest of the cast makes snide remarks.
