--- Quote from: BenRG on 11 Dec 2019, 23:08 ---You do occasionally have strips where I really think it is Jeph talking and this is one of them. Growing up vs. growing 'old' is a thing with which most people struggle. How does one become an adult without losing joy in one's life? I do like their horror when they realise that they're on the verge of becoming stereotypical lower-middle-class adult males!

...that suddenly makes it hit me how young Marten and Steve are to be talking like this. I don't know if either of them is 25, and for Faye calling Claire "kiddo" yesterday, if Claire is 24 I'm not actually sure Faye's older.

Can I just say, calling someone “kiddo” isn’t necessarily a reflection of relative age, more of social position. If Faye has assumed a position somewhere between big sister and mother towards Claire she might well call her kiddo even if she was younger than Claire. Seen it happen.
Marco:
Pintsize-Marten-Steve strips in a row. Mostly about Marten's pointless life. Are we closing some cycle?
Also, chill about how to spell Millefeuille. Most forms are canon.

I find this interesting for an odd reason. Humans are, perhaps rightly, *so* concerned with bodily autonomy and control that even a seriously drunk person wouldn't say or do this.
In the QC universe though, what is Millie risking? A greasy hand print on Faye's shorts she might have had to wash anyway seems to be about the worst possible case... And even if someone she doesn't want touching her starts feeling up her, err, uhm, "human standard" anatomy, she can flip out of drunk mode, stop the situation with whatever level of (non)violence seems to be indicated, and perhaps flip back to drunk mode without anyone else noticing. Think of the possibilities for parties with a bunch of AIs on a happy jag; I should think businesses that cater for humans and AIs wouldn't charge AIs a cover charge just like some bars don't charge women...
Or maybe it's simply because her researcher-colleague is there that Millie feels safe enough to try this and see what happens?

I've seen it happen, though. Along with "touch my new breasts". Not even that drunk...

Same. I've seen a few women just whip them out to show off the new work-- whether it's surgical or fresh ink. Though, most of the time is t was only with select friends...
