Bubbles has been known to use lipstick and style her hair on occasion; I think that AnthroPCs have as much vanity as humans when it comes to appearance, especially if there is someone towards whom they want to 'look good'. We've also seen Momo shower so some of them at least have a routine of exterior hygiene. There are also likely things that are unique to them with no obvious human equivalent - Topping up on the pine-fresh coolant is the most obvious example.

It's not a neckbeard.
I think Momo took that shower simply because she could at that point - I guess since she had a full sized humanoid chassis, she wanted to be a bit more humanoid and less ... toy. Also, she's very particular about her hair, not looking too punk.
Bubbles HAS used lipstick, and is still working on her own hairstyle. Although only a little bit I guess.
Yes, they DO care what they look like. In varying degrees. Depending on what they can do about it. Like heatsinks and mod jobs.
TheEvilDog:
I would imagine that Momo showers not because she can, but because even though her skin is sealed, dirt or other contaminants getting into the mechanical aspects of her chassis would have a damaging effect on her. We've seen the effect of poor maintenance has on an AI chassis, May's disaster with half her face falling off. Yes, we can attribute some of that to age, but a chassis is still a finely tuned piece of engineering and needs a degree of care.
As for Bubbles using lipstick, that would definitely be attributed to her trying to connect to the world. She's gone from a highly traumatic experience losing her team, to effectively being homeless and feared by both humans and AI. In going to the party, she possibly read up through an outdated book, or looked up for a more formal occasion. The lipstick was her trying too hard to fit in, especially combined with the fact that she was still in her combat armour.
Is it cold in here?:
Her social protocol database probably said not to remain muddy after a nature hike.
ANeM:
Dammit, am I going to have to go through the archive now to see if there were actually some Melon strips with a secret drawn on navel? It's probably just an offhand joke but it also feels like the sort of statement that could be used to cover some continuity errors, or just a long slow buildup for minimal payoff, like Community's Beetlejuice gag.

New comic...
And I made the mistake of assuming Melon's line in panel 4 actually had something to do with what Roko was saying, and I found myself wondering how, yeah, Roko is unemployed right now, but bread isn't THAT expensive, right? :psyduck:
