I think its gonna happen with one of the female robots and a new character eventually I wouldnt mind seeing her and clinton together but hes got the brun thing going

Is there any interesting politics in the fact it wasn't a male robot when it finally happened?

My guess is that Jeph simply hasn't made very many realistic male-presenting AIs yet. Especially one with some major screen time. IIRC Winslow's new chassis is the only one we've seen so far and that is more of a teen boy rather than a full grown man. Now, I don't necessarily believe that an AI has to be looking like a realistic human for a relation to work, but with romance and intimacy comes cuddling and I'm quite certain that it's easier for a human to put their arms around something at least somewhat humanoid shaped with a soft exterior. Had Winslow (and Hannelore) stayed around there could possibly have been something built around Winslow opening up to the world and finding romance (Sam? Tilly? Amir?) which would also have brought a new light to his companionship with Hannelore.

I wrote the above stuff, and then I remembered this: 2157

I don't think there's anything to be read into it besides the fact that Jeph has more female characters. When it comes down to the min cast, there are only two male AI, Pintsize and Winslow. Pintsize has been perving on everyone since the start, and Winslow is the innocent. On the other side we have Momo, May, Bubbles and maybe Roko. Depends on if she keeps getting comics featuring her. So in the main cast we have to male AI, both of which are not really candidates for cross-species romance, and 3/4 female AI, all of which have fantisized or expressed direct interest in humans. So it's pretty clear that when Jeph explored the idea it was going to be involving one of the female AI.
Also this is not the first time it was cross species romance was mentioned in comic. In one of the robot support group strips one of the robots was talking about an issue with their girlfriend probably wanting to date a human. Implication being the the girlfriend was human and the AI was insecure about it, or the girlfriend was AI and interested in humans. Nobody seemed to think it was unusual though. And there was the Robo-boyfriend Hanner's dad sent her to try out. We may not have seen an AI/Human romance in print yet, but it doesn't seem to be surprising, which implies it happens.

Ugh. Sven is such a POS.
Momo can do a lot better. The way May put him down was fantastic. She's unimpressed. As am I.

He's trying. I'll give him credit for that.

i was actually really annoyed with Hannelore for telling Dora not to cut Sven out of her life for being toxic. Especially with a mother like hers, you'd think she'd understand that toxic family members need to get the boot.
