A genuine like-for-like replacement;

A Union Robotics repair job (with some enthusiasm-created customisations);

Something horribly primitive that Brun loves (A pincer or something);

Something horribly advanced that creeps everyone out (Biomimicry to a very high degree);

Something military-grade sourced from a dodgy vendor on eBay (with such gimmicks as a magnetic clamp, a laser gun and spy sensors);

He doesn't need a replacement; he has two or three perfectly good spares at home;

Emily grows a new bio-hand using something she whipped up in Comp Sci class;

A spooky second-hand robo-hand that seems to have its own personality... and agenda!

I also hope that there will be a Noodle Incident that they can't remember but that Marten, Clinton and Renee keep on referring to in the vaguest terms whilst chuckling to each other about it.

That would be cruel and unusual.  Excellent idea!

[Kugai]

This was a PUNishing strip

[brasca]

Three Stooges entrance plus 2. 

Guess Renee had to join them, but I don't think the room is big enough for Faye and her doppelgänger.

[TheEvilDog]

Wow, strange minds do think alike.

[Kugai]

Hail hail, the gang's all here

[TheEvilDog]

They just can't get through the door.

"Move it chowder head!"
"Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!"

[Is it cold in here?]

Hoo boy that brings back memories. It was undeserved good luck that we had patient trans* people guiding us through the initial ignorance. That could have been an absolute disaster so easily ...

[BenRG]

I'm guessing that everyone's so drunk that it will be most efficient for Bubbles and Elliot to simply stack them in a corner of the lounge like freshly-cut firewood to sleep it off.

I'm also increasing the likelihood that there is going to be a large number of "Oh my god, what did I do last night?" moments tomorrow, in-universe. Especially for Clinton and Brun who both seem to be mostly out-of-it right now. At the very least, I'm expecting a few drunken declarations that will only reinforce in Faye's mind why drinking is such a bad idea.

Actually Bubbles-Elliot would be interesting. He is one of few people where height difference wouldnt be a problem, plus his personality could attract her. Certainly could be fair candidate for first robo-human relationship.

Do you think we will see something like this #2795?

[hakko504]

So, Brun, Renee, Claire and Clinton seems to be rather intoxicated. This could see some rather interesting developments: Does Marten and Claire's relation survive the night? Will any of the others hook up? There is quite a lot of potential here with Elliot swooning over Brun, Renee harassing Elliot, Clinton taking out Brun for lunch etc.

Now, I wouldn't completely rule out Clinton/Bubbles either. He's likely to have the same reaction as Momo had when she first met Bubbles. I don't think it's very likely but should the evening progress in a way that puts Brun in the arms of Elliot, then a rejected Clinton might be up for anything that takes him out of his misery. Though that's probably Renee, who in that case is probably feeling just as down for the same reason.
Not sure I think Elliot/Bubbles have any chance of happening either. Would be interesting to see though.

More like Claire's comment in #2798.

[TinPenguin]

What kind of fucked up front raises do you have do to have 60 kg-ish lifting strength in your delts?

Raises with barely 20 kg per side make my arms scream, what kind of steroid-mutated gorilla person family does Elliot come from ?! And how do I join?

??? I'm 5'5" and I can carry 2 ladies of similar build around on my shoulders, one on each side.

If his hair were curlier, I'd guess Danish. Maybe Scottish and German?

Maybe Dutch? They can get pretty large.

His maternal grandmother was a Flemish Giant rabbit.

[shanejayell]

One wonders how Bubbles will react to the influx of strangers. *lol*

[Zebediah]

I have a feeling that Bubbles and Elliot will get along quite well. After they size each other up (), they'll spend hours comparing notes on how they've been misunderstood due to how big they are.

[flondrix]

According to Momo, most anthro PCs have no interest in pursuing sexual relationships with humans.  Pintsize must be an aberration.

[retrosteve]

Hopefully, that waitress didn't shake Clinton down for too much or the best Union Robotics can do is a claw.  Then again they created detachable buttocks for $75 so maybe a replacement hand isn't as much as I think it would be in their universe.

A lot more moving parts and complicated joints in a hand than in a butt. If they charge less than 750 they are probably losing money.

[Neko_Ali]

Momo, the one who fantasizes about Sven? The one who protests way to much when May crudely brings up the subject? Not sure I entirely trust her impartiality here. I imagine she is correct though. But it does seem a significant portion of robot-kind does think about it. Pintsize, Momo and May for sure. Seems likely Bubbles is included in that as well, given how she acts when Faye gets touchy-feely. Pintsize is still an aberration, just not because he wants a giant robo-dick and is obsessed with human porn.

[OldGoat]

Them's some BIG damn bunnies!

[A Duck]

Aah, a bunch of intoxicated people hanging out at Marten, Pintsize and Faye's (and Claire and Bubbles' now) apartment.
This is some old-school QC and I love it.

I've said it before, but I repeat: this is the only way I see Bubbles meeting Elliot going

[tut21]

Whenever Jeph draws his trademark "bubbles" for intoxication my brain assumes the characters have been drinking bubble bath soap.

[SubaruStephen]

For a second there I thought that Clinton had his hand in his sisters pocket.

Then I remembered what happened back at the bar and realized it could be in her pocket, or anyone else's. Or back at the bar in the Lost and Found box.

[A Duck]

I just realized we're also about to get (as far as I can remember) the first meeting between Renée and Faye!

This could be very interesting...

[Kugai]

You forgot the music to go wit that

[flondrix]

Trying to work out if you were a brand new user led me to this thread, and I probably would have preferred not to have read it. Or been made aware of these two strips.

I wonder if Dora might reference that in one of her darker moods if she is pissed off at Marten about something.

I agree about more joints, but I assume that her ass contained some heavy-duty bearings critical to her leg movement.  Note that her friend had to carry her in, she couldn't walk.

[flondrix]

More like Claire's comment in #2798.

Supposedly no one is bringing any booze into the apartment, so no one can get any drunker than they already are, unlike the situation Claire was commenting on.
Claire doesn't get very drunk, Marten seems functional, and Faye and Elliot should have had nothing to drink at all.  (Elliot was on duty as a bouncer, and by all indications he is responsible and good at his job.)  I don't know if Elliot's skills in dealing with drunk people extend to preventing them from making bad life decisions or screwing up nascent relationships...but that is what Faye is for, god help us.  In a pinch, Hanners is just upstairs.  The gang is in as good of hands as one could hope for.

Still, a bionic hip replacement (including the operation) is only about $5000 in our world. A fully articulated bionic hand is available for $11000 (google bebionic) and that doesn't include hooking it up with the arm tendons and nerves.

[TheEvilDog]

Pintsize! No! DON'T NOT GO NEAR THE BOAT! THAT IS WHAT CAUSE THE TITANIC TO SINK! THAT IS HOW SUBMARINES ARE MADE! THAT'S GODZILLA'S NIGHT TERRORS!

Yeah, "only".

Welcome back to the forum, anyway.

That reveal and thread was FIVE years ago?  And that strip was NINE.....??   

On today's strip, this was a character interaction that I did not expect and definitely did expect to go so well. My question for the next strip is Brun sliding herself away or is someone else pulling her?

[TheEvilDog]

Anyone else feeling ancient?

[OldGoat]

Anyone who can put a startle into Pintsize is okay in my book.  Right on, Brun!!

[PersonMcPerson]

Hi everyone!

Pintsize was charging itself when Brun scared it. His charging port is located on a green circle slot where the laser used to be(3015). Wasn't it replaced by a laser pointer instead of a charging port? Is the port both a laser pointer and a charging point? Did they change it and they didn't tell us?

I couldn't go to bed without sharing my confusion. Thanks


PD: Those are rhetoric questions

[BenRG]

I'm starting to think that Brun is going to wake up tomorrow with a serious hangover and several friends that she doesn't remember making. I'm also thinking that Pintsize is going to make it his mission to find out what he needs to say to freak her out. Given her tendency to take things at face value, he's going to be trying for a very long time.

[flondrix]

It's a thing kids do, lying on your back and pushing yourself along with your feet.  Pulling is harder than pushing, but I am certain that is what she is doing.

I don't remember a laser pointer feature at all.

Have we seen Pintsize charging before? Is the port always in the same place?

[oeoek]

(dreamy voice) Let's go back to your childhood ildhood ildhood

Not sure if I would call it a laser pointer, but uhm this or this suggest some jewelled light source... And the wisdom of Robotic Annihilation Insurance. 

You can wake up now...

[hakko504]

But that Laser gun was removed in #147-151 and we've never seen anything like that afterwards.

[brasca]

Seeing as how Brun had patrons like Barry I doubt Pintsize is going to scare her. 

[Kugai]

I wonder who will confuse who here.

[TheEvilDog]

I wonder who will confuse who here.

I'm going to say it'll be a win for Brun. Pintsize tends to get taken down a couple of pegs when it comes to him trying to mess with strangers.

[Gyrre]

Hail hail, the gang's all here

So ring out a song of good cheee~er!

[Zebediah]

Comic's up. It's like seeing a unicorn.

[A Duck]

Ha! I called it! (kind of)

Possible spoiler from Jeph's twitter

(click to show/hide)

Jeph was looking for hand muscle reference recently.
I was thinking that this whole situation might be a setup to give Clinton a more realistic looking (and easier to draw) hand with artificial muscles like May's "face meats".

With Marten referring Clinton to Faye and Bubbles, this seems even more likely

Also, I really hope Clinton and Elliot become a thing, if only because the cast could use more (any) gay/bi dudes IMHO.

[DaiJB]

"Awkward Zone"?! Do we get to see Elliot and Clinton in fancy suits?? 

[shanejayell]

HA! 

[SubaruStephen]

"Unicorns aren't that rare." says Bubbles as she sniffs her tea.

[Oenone]

Uh oh. If Renee is a snot to Claire, Marten might get mad.

[St.Clair]

I can hear the shippers squealing

... each to each?

[BenRG]

Faye, you've just done the worst thing to Clinton that he can imagine: Tell him that he needs to start covering up robo-hand. He likes having visible cybernetic augmentation, damn it! That's the whole cool part of it that makes up for blowing off his original hand!

I think it is the curse of the modern concept of masculinity that men are limited in the way that they can express themselves to each other so that they are not considered 'gay'. I mean, I get what Clinton (alcohol-lubricated as he is) is trying to say and so does Elliot but they have to maintain norms of self expression so...

Meanwhile, by the end of tonight, I think that Claire's shipping chart for the Secret Bakery would look like someone dipped a spider in LSD-laced ink and let it walk across the page. Just about every dot will be connected to just about every other dot!
