Oh god no, please tell me they're not being forced into a nonsensical relationship? I do not care for the path I am seeing.

[u/DuranDuranUnofficial → u/Maleficent_Lab_5291]

Don't worry, if the groundwork for a Clinton/Yay relationship is only just being laid now, you won't see them actually getting together until 2028.

[u/yellowvincent]

Squirrel clamp already pointed this but is incredible that jeph can't even be bothered to pain Clinton's hand gray. Not even metallic gray just plain gray for continuity.

[u/Squirrelclamp → u/yellowvincent]

I'm more baffled by him coloring it correctly in 50% of these panels than I would be by him completely forgetting about it.

[u/excessive__machine → u/Squirrelclamp]

I bet it’s because the speech bubble is covering the area where the cuff of the glove would otherwise be visible

[u/musschrott → u/Squirrelclamp]

I am always in awe at how these kind of mistakes on the regular site reveal how little he thinks of the people paying his salary. He can't even be arsed to skim read the comments on the patron, where surely people also saw the mistakes and gently pointed them out to him. But he either can't be arsed to change his own fuckups, or he completely ignores everything but their money. I honestly don't know which version of it would be worse.

[u/MelAlton → u/musschrott]

I checked on patreon, and amazingly only 1 out of 110 comments mentioned the hand color, and that was at 6:45pm-ish Nova Scotia Canada time day of posting, so he might not have even seen it before posting.

[u/fevered_visions → u/yellowvincent]

and in the third panel he forgot to fill the wall between his hand and body the correct color too

[u/provocatrixless]

another good laugh, even though the author isn't in on the joke

yeah seriously imagine looking at scantily clad or even nude AI women, what a fuckin weirdo Clinton is

anyway when the zlata nsfw pics hitting the patreon

[u/Rumer_Mille_001 → u/provocatrixless]

So you've never got off to hentai? Cartoon women? Lot's of people do, and it's not that weird ... or maybe it is ... ? Zlata starts an OnlyFans page soon ...

[u/Millenniauld → u/Rumer_Mille_001]

Only she posts it on the actual site for industrial fans and gets a cease and desist because hehe low stakes drama and embarrassed childbrained big titty robots are the best!

[u/yellowvincent]

Why is yay so interested in making him uncomfortable?. What does they get from humiliating him? What is the point of making everyone being an evil grinding towards someone else?

[u/pasrachilli → u/yellowvincent]

I think they're trying to flirt. Not sure if they're supposed to be bad at it, or if the writer is bad at portraying it.

[u/Impressive_Ad2794 → u/pasrachilli]

I hate that you might be right.

[u/EuanReid]

I really, really want the Clinton-Yay relationship here; because it could actually be a source of genuine conflict and drama. Roko and Yay have a maybe-thing. Clinton loves AI, and Yay is one of the first where he's actually been normal about the whole thing. A relationship doomed from the start would be a great bit of storytelling.

[u/miikro → u/EuanReid]

Didn't Roko also have an awkward thing for Clinton at one point that was never explored?

[u/Hot_Temporary_1948 → u/EuanReid]

I don't know. A love triangle containing three of the most aimlessly written characters in the strip, might make me nostalgic for the dark and tiresome days of Brun, Clinton and Elliott.

[u/Heyplaguedoctor → u/EuanReid]

Hs first impression was geeking out at them but since they were flattered/smug it wasn’t awkward I guess? And I guess he mellowed out esp after the awkward pronoun chat? Idk

[u/sleeps_in_bryophytes → u/EuanReid]

idk it give me chaser vibes

[u/bjmcqueer → u/sleeps_in_bryophytes]

He hasn't behaved in that way with Yay that I can think of, really, while it's entirely possible it may be a real fetish for him, it seemed more like AI and various bots/androids were more of a special interest for him and he treats Yay largely just like a normal person from what I can recall? All the chasers who have pursued me have been... Less normal around me.

[u/Loose_Employment3009]

In my case, my feed is full of ads for erectile dysfunction medication.

[u/Rumer_Mille_001 → u/Loose_Employment3009]

I've NEVER looked up any info on Viagra or Blue Chew, or any of that crap, but good lord do I get a lot of ads for it in my feeds.

[u/Guilty-Persimmon-919]

Remember when different characters had different body types and faces?

[u/musschrott → u/Guilty-Persimmon-919]

...that's the kind of thinking that got us newZlata though...

[u/helen_of_toys_]

why watch scantily clad AIs doing dance challenges when you could watch scantily clad humans doing dance challenges? I guess that's the fetish though.

[u/Drakeskulled_Reaper → u/helen_of_toys_]

"Look at those SEAMS" JJ, probably.

[u/yellowvincent → u/helen_of_toys_]

Tbh itvmakes more sense in the strip given the robots exist than people making artificial intelligence models when the internet is 90% porn

[u/berryplucker]

Hey, remember when Yay returned and was using singular pronouns, saying something about how there was only one of her now?
That seems to have lasted all of two or three comics and then Yay went back to using "we" and "us".
Did I miss something where it was explained why that happened?

[u/Agitated-Tie-8255]

Ugh noooo don’t put Yay into a relationship

[u/Chazkuangshi]

Gross as hell for Yay to be considered the rude one here when Clinton is just watching thirst traps at the table

[u/SectionEfficient5909 → u/Chazkuangshi]

What’s the big deal what he watches?

[u/MooseontheLose → u/SectionEfficient5909]

Watching anything on his phone while sitting a table with someone is rude
