Marten's brain is broken.

Mom's got that apple booty

Jeremy C

Marten off in his own little world

Chris Heg

Clinton's mom has got it goin' on.

Diptych

It's true! It's kind of fascinating how it was -aware- it was being transphobic and bad, but didn't quite have the tools to understand how, or the courage to simply be about something else instead.

Taellosse

I just love it when 1 character off to the side has an almost entirely different conversation from the others in the comic, all by themselves.

Jared Cyr

Do you want an AI Buffalo Bill, because that's how you get an AI Buffalo Bill...

i'm imagining the chat when she tells her fans "hi today my kids told me about furries, it sure looks like fun :3c" and the mass meltdown

Drakoo Dreamer

Do AI's put on like fat suits to pretend to be human? Pretending to be a fat american, 'eating' a cheeseburger, Murica!

dragonkittyrawr

I love this little conversation Marten is having with himself

Mad Marie

The cylons are among us

Ace of Hearts

I wonder if there are there any AI's whose body is a furry body. Like for them it's not a costume they are just raccoon.

Randall Norman Pick

Not that Melon has a skin suit, but she does sort of try to approach a human lifestyle abstractly.

Was like oh Marten, no. Then Martin also realized oh Marten, no.

jimbo

okay, had to google tubgirl. Urban Dictionary commented .."While the feat must be applauded for its impressive combination of acrobatics and imagination, it cannot be denied that it is one of the main contributors of the increase in America's dependency on antidepressants. "

Boots McGoot

strong suspicion that AIs with humansonas were briefly considered, and rightly rejected, for the strip. Good looking out Jeph

Luke Meyers

"sona" is the word for "knowledge" (and related concepts) in Toki Pona.

Chris Crowther

I wouldn't put it past Aurelia to put pot on the pizza...

Bagge

OK, but IF Aurelia tries to be a furry she would have such a GREAT costume

James Dore

Marten are you high?

Aleks

But I do appreciate that Marten is channeling the audience on an important topic.

Aleks

Thanks for the reminder, Jeph.

Onyx

She's having fun with college boys, she may not be into a relationship at the time lol

Onyx

OMG

I am the captian now

Tub girl. Man that takes me back....

Leak

Tune in next time when Jeph trolls us that "there ain't no AI party like a Lemon Party"...

Carrie

🙂😅😳😂🤣😆

Sparky

Wise

Miranda E. O. Wilde

Fiorabunny has been using that for a while now to describe when he's not using the V-tuber sona.

runrin

i like how the girls are just ignoring martin's tangent. also silence of the lambs is transphobic and bad.

pseudoclever

Yeah it maybe requires some willful suspension of disbelief here.

pseudoclever

Very good “ack” face for Martin in panel 3.

Karvil

I think we see the logical conclusion of AI's with skinsona's in the video game Kenshi with the Skin Bandits and their Peeler machines.

William Cole

I think he did that once in a guest strip.

Patrick Gavin

Now I have that Knack song in my head. Muh-muh-muh-muh-muh-muh-MY FURSONA!

MikeT

Martin needs a pipe and dressing gown if he's going to drop deep and meaningful musings

Raven Razor

You just made my geeky day!

Daryl Sawyer

> Skinsona sounds like something a serial killer would have. Or Pintsize.

Andrea Andrew

Is it wrong that I want to see Claire’s mom get involved in a romantic relationship?

KapsLocked

Ironmouse coined the term Fleshtuber for IRL streamers in the past week

Onyx

And I love that her reaction is about the craftsmanship of the suit. She is just so cool.

Onyx

I said she wasn't LOL

Onyx

Oh fair, that makes sense. Also, I WAS RIGHT.

D. Alfonso

Sorry to hear that

lilibat

It puts the lotion on its skin...

David Durant

Lindisfarne and Fenton have a kid! (Yes, it's been a long while).

Too late. I googled. TIL about tubgirl...

Yohannon

Wouldn't an AI pretending to be human be assuming a persona?

I believe Skinhorse (or Narbonic) used Thumbies to describe transgenic animals with human personas.

Orion Rhine

You have a wolf fursona? Fine, everyone has their own oddity, it makes the world more interesting. You are the "alpha" of your own pack and brutally punish your "betas"? Do you have any idea about how wolf social structures actually work? The whole alpha/beta/omega structure was debunked years ago. Wolves do have a social hierarchy, but it's actually quite loose and really only applies to organization while hunting. One of the worst arguments I ever had, mainly because he kept resorting to howling whenever he was proven wrong.

Orion Rhine

I really wish I could find it again (if only to prove to myself that it wasn't a fever dream) but I once found a bunch of screenshots about a techno-organic virus that turned machines like cars, planes, and tanks into living creatures. The details were actually quite clever like how a tanks turret could no longer turn 360 degrees due to the meat and nerves that grew into it and how armor plate gained pores. Then there were more disturbing details like "ports and probes" and half human half jet fighter children. I know I saved the screenshots, but I have no clue which of my hard drives I saved them to.

Heather King

DO NOT GOOGLE! It’s 2 girls one cup, only it’s one girl, no cup, in a tub getting the just right angle.

Levi

Ok, did I miss something, or is my memory shite? Tubgirl incident? Do I want to know? Because I sense flavors of TwoGirlsOneCup....flavors...wrong word

CaseyAEC

It boggles my mind that Marten didn't know what vtubers are. I used to think that he and I were similar, passive go-with-the-flow. But Martin doesn't explore the world to see new things.

Nuclear Bob

Of course you can’t help making Aurelia’s butt cute.

Nutjob

I mean... PlaneSonas. (Don't go digging)

Elberik

It's always funny seeing normies try to work through the furry fandom.

Tannerbot

Not gonna lie, I have definitely gone onto tangents like Marten has.

Michael Boettger

The young woman in the pit, IIRC.

WTF is wrong with people!? Obvi those are furless babies as opposed to fur babies. Geez

Kuragari

What was Buffalo Bill's skinsona?

Michael Boettger

Scary thought: Aurelia's Webcam is on. And now her fans think Claire is her. And Claire gets all. This. Unwanted. Attention.

Hugh Eckert

He's having a conversation with the chair.

nullpotato

Skinsona, flesh apparel, meat mask. Yeah no option sounds good.

Panic Blitz

We have such sights to show you…

Pejo

I totally called it! Everyone who said Aurelia was trolling owes me a cookie. 🍪

Noise

And then there's scalies (reptile and dragons), and pretty much any sort of term people latch on to. The thing that bothers me about furries isn't the animal personas, it's the poor research.

Evan Krall

JD

Do I want to know what tubgirl is?

Janet Lunde

I did not need “skinsona” in my mind! 👀

Technically there are AI furries. We did see a giant robot bear, plus there's Gordon and Reggie.

I suspect you can have a fursona of an exceptionally hairy dude (or woman, I suppose).

Dave Van Domelen

In the Kevin & Kell webcomic, where everyone is an anthropomorphic animal, there's a "human" fandom that's set up like furries. I forget if they're called Skinnies or what.

John Wedoff

Buffalo Bill. Lector just ate people.

K C

Skinsona sounds like an AI Hannibal Lector.

Yamtaggler

I see people on Facebook referring to their children as their “Skin Children” (as opposed to Fur Children, it’s in a pets group) and it never fails to creep me right the fuck out.
