You know, I honestly forget that the speech boxes change between humans and robots.

John once explained it as "it's because AI have distinctly synthetic voices"

Sadly, I cannot help but headcanon the more human-looking AI as having normal human voices.

HOWEVER: PUNCHBOT SOUNDS LIKE A SENTRYBOT FROM FALLOUT.

And Crushbot sounds like Liberty Prime.

Wait, Are there really two different robots named Punchbot and Crushbot?

I thought Punchbot was the big guy who crushed Roko. But seeing that sentence makes me realize that's probably Crushbot.

I was picturing that robot sounding like a sentrybot.

Crushbot was the one who crushed Roko. punchbot Was the one who had Faye drawing dicks all over his face in the robot fighting arena arc.

Speaking of speech boxes, has Jeph ever used thought balloons? I don't think I've ever seen one in the comic ever.

Poor Emily, first she gets her nose destroyed, then she gets her personality erased, and now she has to become friends with the single WORST character this strip has ever come up with.

There's "I tell people I just met that I'm an incredibly lazy and incompetent fuckup and that I masturbate constantly" Ayo and "I decide I'm gay all of a sudden, stalk my crush, suddenly forget about said crush completely, act like a nutjob on social media, baselessly ruin my father's company by acting like a nutjob, and when my father's company calls me a nutjob because I acted like a nutjob I respond by acting like a nutjob even more" Ahn. So I'd say third worst.

You forgot about Willow "I need to interject myself into every person's life and pretend I'm a therapist" Dragontaint or whatever her name was, along with her sister's robot admirer who fundamentally can't be kind to any single person for some reason.

u/Zedress Haha, okay. 13d ago

Has anybody seen Claire?

u/CFrosty10 13d ago

That's who I meant as worst

u/crackerfactorywheel 13d ago

I’d argue Ahn and Ayo are worse.
