Mojo:
I may be in the minority, but I have to say I'm weary of all the AI characters in the comic.
In the old days, there were precious few AIs, and they were not full on androids. That allowed the comic to feel realistic, allowed me to invest in the setting because it felt like it COULD be reality. With all the androids and AIs wandering around, it's really diminishing that capacity. I miss the old days.
I know, I've no doubt there are many that will disagree, but I felt the need to offer my opinion.
Perfectly Reasonable:
Jeph faces an interesting challenge here. How to keep his AI characters human enough to be relatable to his audience while reminding us from time to time that they are -not- human.

Given Hanners relationship with her mom and all her other hangups about "dirt", she being a robosexual wouldn't surprise me at all, especially an AI that is direct and non-deferential like Iris. We'll have to see where this goes. Maybe Station will take a break from being an orbital outpost now that there is someone to keep tabs on Hanners Dad? Hmmmm.
sitnspin:
Not sure I've been that profoundly misinterpreted in a very long time.

The current "history" of AI is inconsistent with the origins of the strip, and there are too many characters.
But Bubbles is so hot.
