traroth:
May's surprised faces in that arc are really priceless :-D

I was going to say she looks good with them, but i can see them on May and Bubbles too at least. So i think that Jeph has come up with another subtle way to distinguish AIs from humans. Like the square vs round speech bubbles.

As noted, it eyeliner on female characters (or rather on characters who wear eyeliner, most of whom are female).
Rectangular speech bubbles usually mark an AI, but there are exceptions. Momo in particular appears to have a more HiFi human voice that she uses from time to time in addition to her default robot voice. She is, after all, a student of human customs and social behavior.
Or Jeph may have forgotten to draw the robovoice rectangles in those strips. But, I only remember it happening with Momo and it fits the character, so I'll keep that in my headcanon unless Jeph says it ain't.
traroth:
Momo is not blushing the same way as Bubbles. Strange...

Perhaps not. Momo is a civilian model, designed to blend in with the human population. Whereas Bubbles is military, perhaps a less broad set of expression software.

Bubbles - as I mentioned a few posts before - blushes similarly to the way both Roko and May have, in the past. So I don't think that's about "military vs civilian". I still think it has to do with the intensity of emotion, or perhaps it's just an art inconsistency (I think the former, though).
