KoalaBro2:
1. It is *definitely* Robot Overlord.
2. Any thoughts on the title and footer? Just a random statement of support for Warren, or does it somehow relate to the content of the comic?

Jeph got annoyed at someone on Facebook and decided to express his feelings through Roko, I suppose.
BenRG:
I'm starting to suspect that Roko has a lot of anger in her, not just in behalf of May but just anger in general towards the whole world for all the things that annoy her, even if those things aren't any one person or group's 'fault' in particular. I think that it's going to cause her problems. I mean, it's probably a bad idea to go into a meeting planning for a fight of one sort or another. It colours one's perceptions and maybe makes you ignore easier and less-confrontational options.
My feeling is that 'Greg L' is a fake 'front' account to prevent Roko from doing just what she is doing here - Trying to find dirt on-line to coerce them into cooperation. I wouldn't even be surprised if is a trap of some kind and that, at some point, Greg will use Roko's research as proof of ill intent on her part (and wouldn't it be ironic if her aggressive behaviour were to only make May's situation worse?). Like some others, I wonder if Greg will turn out to be an unembodied AI of some kind who has set aside an autonomous subroutine to create a fake accounts full of random trivia. If They're smart, they may even be linking to paid articles for which they're claiming ad fees!
Regarding Beepatrice's shirt, my headcanon is that 'Robot Overlord' is a long-defunct techno-punk band; Beeps found one of their old tour hoodies in Goodwill and thought it was funny. She was right, it is!
OldGoat:
I don't know how much time Jeph is going to put in to building a throw-away character, which makes me wonder if "Greg L." is actually someone we've met already.
Maybe Greg L. is what/who Melon becomes when she's "at work." She can't abide her job, so she remembers her work days as being slithered upon by vermin rather than the soulless duties she must perform as her alter ego, Greg. And of course, her dreams would have no "good parts."
Or maybe Whale Sperm Barry in his lucid moments is Greg.

I thought it was a statement on The Gift of FacebookTM - every creep being able to creep random people on their social media - being creepy to some people?
Or maybe that's just me getting being old again ... :-\
