WCDT strips 3606-3910 (31st December 2018 to 4th January 2019)
Kincaid:
Possibly a technical glitch, the new comic is showing both as https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3901 and https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3906 (with a different number in the image itself), was there an original 3901 that just got overwritten by accident?

It seems so; the original 3901 was one of the filler pages from last week.
OldGoat:
This isn't a one-off environment created just for Roko's accident. There are 'bots galore in this universe and some of them are bound to have been seriously damaged in the course of everyday life. Roko's in the AI equivalent of Intensive Care with a clinician trained for such work. The analogy doesn't run completely in parallel. People like Bubbs and Faye fill the role of surgeons dealing with the mechanical layer while Lemon and her colleagues handle the emotion & mental parts. Not being biological entities, AIs don't really have any need for physicians, although there are probably Assembly Language programmers who specialize in the hardware/software interface who might come close to that role.
I'm favoring the idea of our current Hero, Roko, harrowing Hell by spending some time in a substandard or at least not-quite-so-premium chassis.
Finally, My Gawd, there are 2047 or so other Melons around with varying levels of functionality? Until/unless Jeph gives them another name I'll call these groups "builds." Since it's apparent that they form some kind of AI kinship group they need a name. It looks like they're formed when a group of AIs are installed in a run of a given chassis.

...And then Lemon's sister Durian walks in.

You'd be able to smell her from miles away! As long as it's not Durian flavoured tea (my brother brought coffee that was durian flavour. Fortunately, I don't drink coffee, so... not getting brewed in this house!).
