Obviously the C in Anthro-PC stands for Companion.
Anthro Personal Companions.
Yes, that works. That works fine!

--- Quote from: OldGoat on 03 Jun 2019, 07:52 ---Let's see - Momo and Punkbot. Socially about the same age and, in spite of his radical appearance, he's intelligent, well mannered, and thoughtful. If they meet they'll probably end up fast friends even if not boning partners.

Is it cold in here?:
--- Quote from: Tova ---Yes, I can't recall a single instance of behaviour that cannot be explained by the simple observation that they are people, an emergent intelligence like us.
--- End quote ---
Same here. I consider it a missed opportunity, though. If synthetics had behavior difficult to explain in our terms, that would be good science fiction.
Tova:
Yes, I agree. This is definitely not a scifi strip. Maybe having AIs fundamentally the same us as suits Jeph's social commentary purposes better. When you look at it that way, every artistic choice represents a missed opportunity to do something different.
zmeiat_joro:
What do you mean? It seems quite obvious to me that Jeph has had his main influences from three or four certain authors that have already had cameos on the comic. And yes, Alice Grove was SF but so is QC. If not as explicitly.
