WCDT strips 3751-3755 (28th May to 1st June 2018)
Milayna:
I noticed in the Claire Threat comic tat bubbles has the foot construction that was noted by Spider, but that her toes are a different color. I'm guessing that it was coloring error, though maybe Bubbles has detachable toes like Melon has a detachable ass.
Is it cold in here?:

ZoeB absolutely loves number 2201.
Faye's mom has never said anything about robots one way or the other. Until she's interacted with Bubbles enough to internalize "This is a person who loves my daughter and can make a happy marriage with her", I expect shock and resistance.
Oh dear. I hope she doesn't say anything that triggers Bubbles.

Hang on. Is this one of those things where what-it-is and what-you-can-get-imprisoned-for are two different things?

I suspect that it is a matter of "what-it-is and what-you-can-get-imprisoned-for [being] two different things". There are also elements of "What did you know and when did you know it?" and "What-you-did-wrong and what-I'm-willing-to-charge-you-with are two different things". I don't know the details of Piper Kerman's criminal involvement, but if the prosecution can make a reasonable case that she knew the money was obtained illegally and that her actions were intended to hide their illegal origin, then she was probably criminally liable. If she could make the case that she legitimately didn't know that the money was ill-gotten or that she had received the money legally, she probably would not have been culpable.
I suspect that Roko knows that Faye and Bubbles were doing honest work for a dishonest organization and simply doesn't see any benefit in bringing the hammer down on two people who just needed work, even if they knew that work was facilitating an illegal gambling operation.

I also love 2201. Marten saying "Yeah, I can understand that. Sorry." is a small but powerful statement from Marten. I cannot begin to count the number of times I have wanted to hear that after explaining that trans bigotry is still there and still real and still painful, even if people have convinced themselves that it's coming from the radical fringe.

Trust me on this - no one wants to live in a place where the police lay charges for every violation that comes to their attention. It'd be like Catholic school all the time. (I still have nightmares about Storm Troopers in nuns' habits, armed with yardsticks and wearing jackboots.)

A long time ago, there was an episode of Star Trek:TNG where Tasha Yar (I think?) had sex with Data, and I remember reading some pretty ugly stuff on-line about it. About the most polite was "He's just a fancy dildo."
I was pleased to see that Hanners's tattooist/piercer did not display any of the thoroughly bogus (I would say fraudulent) "Chinese Alphabets" that bottom-feeding "artists" foist on the ignorant.
