WCDT strips 4106 - 4110 (7th to 11th October 2019)
FreelanceChicken:
I'm new to the forum, so I may just have not run across the discussion of it yet, but I just noticed that Yay's speech bubbles are round, not square. Given that all other speech bubbles on these last few pages are square, I can't help but feel that that has significance, but I'm not entirely sure exactly what significance it has. It seems like that would imply that Yay is a biological entity rather than an AI. Do y'all have any ideas?
Is it cold in here?:
Welcome, new person!
One opinion here has been that rounded speech bubbles mean the AI speaks in a more human-sounding way.
FreelanceChicken:
That would make sense. I'm not sure I'm entirely convinced though. On panel 3 of comic 4108, Yay is shown somehow speaking morse code, and they still have round speech bubbles. It's hard to imagine someone humanly speaking fluent morse code. And their speech patterns are definitely different from any of the humans in the comic. If anything, they seem more like AI speech. Maybe I'm putting too much thought into this, but I still think there's more to it than just them sounding human. I'll probably keep digging until I reach a theory that while technically sound shows more consistent thought and forethought on the part of Jeph than any sane person would have.
Ariaspinner:
Speaking of the Morse Code. Why are they both saying the exact same thing to each other? I can totally get behind Yay calling it quaint, but Melon? She doesn't strike me as someone who would use that word at all.
BenRG:
Maybe it is a 'handshake' of sorts too - Specifically, the initial crypto phrase that sets the Substitution Cypher. To Melon, it's a game. To Yay, it's basic communications security.
