Claire moves to NY with Angus, that way we have maximum sadness.

He also accidentally packs Momo and though he promises to send her back, keeps putting it off.

I did not know people were capable of such cruel thoughts

Momo's like the size of a 12-year-old girl now, pretty big to pack.

That said, we have never seen what happened to Momo's old body.  Maybe Marigold kept it?  Maybe Pintsize can get his hands on it!  :clairedoge:

I don't get it.  Don't Hannelore and Faye have the same therapist?  Or did Faye stop going or something?

Even if they did have the same therapist (or not), there's no good reason they would know they're going to the same one. I'd guess that the therapist themself wouldn't come up in casual conversation.

So 62.5% right, then. I'm giving him half credit on Momo because, while not exactly human, she's the closest to normal in the main cast.

BenRG: why? I mean if Momo was a human she'd probably be boring - as a robot she can be the 'sensible person' without losing too much of her personality. Also, the 'normal person' programming had to go /somewhere/ when they produced Pintsize

Why? Because a robot is more persuasively human than, necessarily a real human. The philosophical implications would keep a drunken Clinton going for hours.

Well, we'd have to ask somebody outside of here....we are a bunch of people on the internet in a forum about a webcomic...I think we all kinda qualify as nerds. I'd like to think we aren't human. Secretly we are all cyborgs waiting for the right moment to strike at the pathetic puny humans and their delicate meat bodies. Mwahahahahahahahah!

ehem, I mean, we are all normal. yeah.

Does she qualify for the "tan" treatment anymore swapna? I'd say she's at least Momo-sama right now. Basically because now she doesn't only shock people out of their shoes - she's large enough to smack upside the head. And that usually derives in a certain degree of respect.

True, true. She's still cute, though, but you're right, she's more of a Momo-sama now.

This issue puzzled me also in today's comic. It would have seemed more natural if Hanners had said "Dr Corinne" instead of "my therapist". Thanks for already posting the links, Stoon, now I don't have to look for them to set FunkyTuba right.  :-P

It's so long since Dr Corrine was mentioned by name that I expect that a considerable majority of the readers wouldn't know who she was.  So the explanatory term serves better.

Maybe there's a core charge on 'bot bodies (like on car alternators and starters), so Marigold left it at the Idoru store in order to save a few hundred bucks on Momo's new body.

    Prediction for Next Week:
    The wrap-up of Faye and Angus's travails:

    [...]

    My hope is that Faye and Angus salvage their friendship and, in a future strip, Faye mentions having spoken to him by 'phone or having emailed him (after threatening Pintsize with dismemberment if he ever 'forgot' his confidentiality protocols).

And the week after that, everyone goes to the Horrible Revelation to help Faye (responsibly) drown her sorrows, and we get a dressing montage of Claire trying on Victorian finery.  Which is what SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED in strips 2793-2797 (and I'm still bitter that it didn't), although I suppose Victorian Claire followed by Claire + Marten snuggles followed by pancakes would've been too much for this forum to handle.  But maybe it'll happen someday...

Edit: Not that I mean to dictate how Jeph should tell the story; I was just surprised he passed up the Horrible Revelation and its ravishing outfits for a different bar, is all...

A matter of translation. In Danish the word "menneske" meaning "human" is commonly used where English would use "person". Or in this case "mennesker" for "people". Yes, nerds are people, but my colleague does not seem to consider them normal people. (We are both software developers and
