A small perverse otter:
Am I the only person around who finds Melon/Lemon/Durian/jackfruit/Pinesol/etc. irritating? I gather that their unreliability is a running joke, but it was never too compelling to me to begin with, and I fell that it's gone beyond old.
Let's be clear: it's Jeph's cartoon, he controls it, and he should. I'm making a judgement, not a demand.
Is it cold in here?:
I know I've seen more than one person make that complaint.
Thrillho:
Yeah I'm also not a fan of Melon honestly, but they rarely interfere with actual plot.
Perfectly Reasonable:
Melon/Lemon underline the randomness in the still not well understood process of AI creation. However it appears that a cohort of 2048 AIs can be notorious for their wackiness.
So why wasn't Winslow mass produced, as he was clearly intended as the prototype for a consumer product? My head canon is that the degree of uniformity needed for such has not been achieved. 'Reliably goofy' is not the kind of standard you want.

Looks like Dark Matter is still a mystery in Jeph-world. If my life's purpose had been a failure, I'd be depressed too.
rtmq0227:
On a different topic, this Chekhov's Gun finally went off: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1001
I know it's a little late to the party, but I've been browsing through old strips and this one came around.
