Hypersapien:
Has it ever been established in the comic if the general public (or any subsection thereof) has any negative attitudes toward humans and AIs being in romantic/sexual relationships with each other?

BenRG:
It was established fairly far back (at the time Momo first got her job at the Smif Library) that there is a human subculture that's pretty synthephobic, denouncing the AIs as 'soulless abominations'. I'm sure that sexual relations with AIs would be considered an automatic no-no by that group.

That said, it wouldn't surprise me if there are AIs who regard having an intimate relationship with a human as 'demoting yourself to the status of a sex doll' or something similar.

Inconsequential:
Beautiful and classy comic. Love the parallel curves.

And yeah, I have to admit one thought that crossed my mind was "Huh! Bubbles is seamless!"

Back at Emily's lake cabin party, Momo mentioned she has a seamless waterproof covering and was even able to go "swimming" (even through she couldn't really float), so Bubbles' "skin" is undoubtedly even more advanced. And apparently feels pretty nice.

Faye is really good at denial and generally being oblivious, and Bubbles is somewhat inexperienced, so it'll be interesting to see to what extent they really understand that everyone already knows. Are they preparing the Arbor Day banner, or are they keeping a safe distance like Pintsize?

Then again, Marten told Faye he's been expecting this for a while, and Dora and Tai even had various "operational codes" prepared for the day when the penny finally dropped. So they already know everyone already knows, you know?

Undrneath:
I would guess that the good AI skin like Momo's is visibly identical to human since Sam thought she was human when they first met. I don't know if Bubbles' skin would be as aesthetically designed as Momo's but as far as water resistance and durability it would probably exceed it in most ways.

Gyrre:

--- Quote from: SeaWoodStage on 21 May 2018, 15:15 ---I just googled 'Homburg' and you are exactly right! The hat I thought of as a Derby is actually a Homburg. The most informative article I came across (in my very brief googling) also showed men sitting side by side, wearing basically identical hats. (Without 'dents'). It was the hat I've always thought of as a bowler, but the same hat was described as a Derby in America. Who would've thought hats could be so fascinating ('scuse the pun). I'm not being sarcastic there by the way. It's genuinely interesting stuff. And I learned something today.

I myself wear a Porkpie most of the time and a Trilby occasionally though having wide shoulders I should wear a wider brim hat such as a Fedora but I can't get one locally that I like.

--- End quote ---
The only fedora I look good in is a widebrimmed one (think Indiana Jones) I'm better off with a flat cap. Any other hats you fellows might be able to recommend based on that? I'm short (5'5", 165cm) and I've got broad shoulders and a barrel chest if that helps any.
