It can seem like it if one goes by webcomic time.
Is it cold in here?:
Will Eminence Grise be satisfied with a Robot Jail sentence as vindictive enough for them?
Or will they want to make life miserable for Corpse Witch after her release?
Corpse Witch might be better off never getting out.
OldGoat:
If Corpse Witch ever returns, it'll be as a nun or something like that. Whatever she had is gone, if she ever had anything at all. She has no money, her hold on Bubbles has been revealed to be a bluff, and odds are overwhelming that the influence she claimed to have with the authorities was a bluff as well. If it had been real, Roko would have been alert for disturbances higher up her chain of command and would have noticed any, but there's been nothing to indicate that this is the case. The most she's likely ever to have had was someone with a gambling habit. Even if that person was a government peon, a bunko artist (and CW was an adept) would hype them into a Senior Big Shot.
Virtually NOTHING Corpse Witch said was true, not even her claims of friends in high places., but the fact that some readers buy into that one element does demonstrate how well Jeph wrote the character.
Not that I'd ever trust Sister Corpse Witch with anything (unless I'd been provided with a Spookybot version of Jimmy Olson's Superman summoning wrist watch).
Inconsequential:
Weird - May once referred to Corpse Witch as "that sleazy pink f**k", but Roko (who is definitely on the purple spectrum) just referred to her as purple.

Looking back, CW's dress is pink, but her dermal covering is... ambiguously purpinkle. So I guess it's a toss-up what someone would perceive.
This means absolutely nothing, I guess.
I do like how robot skin (dermal covering) colors in the QC-verse don't really have any baggage. It's perfectly OK to use as a way to help identify someone. For example, May once said "I like being a blue robot chick", and I'm sure there are other examples.
Momo's human-like skin texture and color is sort of unusual, and she's thus been mistaken for a human more than once.
It's neat to see May's growth -- she's openly appreciative of kindness, and able to show kindness when it's needed. Sort of. In her own, uh, unique way.

Ironically her order to cooperate with the authorities might bring attention to some secret government agency interested in subduing or destroying Spookybot as a threat to national security.
