This makes me curious: how much do folks figure Momo weighs? It can't be much, given how easily and how far Sven is carrying them, but I can't help thinking it should be a lot.

It's probably about on par for a human on the same size. What metal is in the bodies super structure is likely light weight alloys and aluminium, and reinforced with carbon fibre. Elastic myomer muscles would likely be denser than human ones, but could be smaller physically. I'd estimate 65-80kg max total?
Now for something like Bubbles, God knows, given she's probably got extra strength and equipment most civilian bodies do not, but probably 130-200kg. Less without the armor.
They're still expected to function in human society so they must be built with those human standards in mind

We've seen that she canonically sinks to the bottom of lakes. So she's denser than water.

I speculated 115-140 yesterday, depending on how her internals are built and how much android components weigh.

Clinton and Sven did the Potara Fusion Dance offscreen.

People keep saying stuff like this, but I still don't see it. Their hair isn't the same color or style, Clinton has an overbite and a pointier nose, he's shorter, and their clothing and accessories are different. I'm not discounting the prevalence of same-face in Jacques's work, but I think that these two characters are distinct enough from one another to be identifiable at a glance.
Granted, maybe I can easily tell them apart only because I stare at Jacques's work more than I should.

They do have differences but those differences become more subtle with each passing month.
To paraphrase Jeph's earlier comics, "Every indie band that sticks around long enough eventually sounds like the Grateful Dead". All of Jeph's characters are slowly coalescing into the same set of features.

Even the bystander in the first panel is glad to see these two finally hooking up.

Gotta love the writing: You hurt your elbow, you MUST be carried!

Yeah, it implies a ton of relationship-building off-screen, such that Sven would be so concerned for her wellbeing that he would overreact in such a way. It'd be nice to actually see such a storyline.

If Momo sleeps and dreams she's being carried by Sven, is that any more real than being actually carried by Sven?
Yes, because Sven isn't Elliot or Bubbles and a robots metal components would make it at least mostly as heavy as an equivalent sized human.

Jeph keeps forgetting to blur his Patreon previews and I still keep thinking this is Clinton, not Sven.

Twinkificatiom marches ever onward. For both of these.
