Does her current ass still have that Signature from Punchbot?

z

If I was the person counseling her, I'd be making sure that May had a good body that had a GREAT upkeep plan, good rep on general usage and light-to-mid-tier physical labor, and had all the right number of human-compatible holes. That work in a human-compatible way. Okay, because it's May, I would also look into the hot-swappable genitalia, so she could do the whole futa thing the next time she runs into Sven...but that's about it.

Joe

Buy yourself a new ass. You deserve it. May.

Ursus Ridens

Sven is doomed.

Desiree Conceicao

Aww.... I can't wait to see May in her new body. And to see what Sven's reaction will be!

Clifton Royston

Possibly, though the 8 foot spear would probably be a lot more helpful.

Sleepy John

You know, fighter jets have about the same number of orifices as people...

Sleepy John

It will be interesting when she's eye-to-eye with Bubbles.

Sleepy John

It'd be a Kodak moment, if anyone still made those.

Kuragari

People change, it happens.

I'm wondering if May's personality will change... if AIs react the same way humans do when body "swapping". https://scitechdaily.com/body-swapping-experiment-shows-how-swapping-bodies-with-a-friend-changes-our-sense-of-self/

Captain Button

Will that help in threatening teens in the convenience store?

William Cole

A horrid ogress?

Clifton Royston

May's not going to be a horrid little goblin anymore - she's going to be a horrid big elf. I can't process this.

I think it's not so much that as she knows there are AIs out there who've done nothing so as serious as she tried, and they're still in May's position. It's difficult, sometimes, to realize you've paid for what you've done, especially in Western society, presumably there, too. That culture (perhaps others, too, but that's the one I know) tends to ladle out guilt by the bucketload, and one of the basics parts of that is you *deserve* whatever hell you're going through. Anyway, I wonder if that MX has changeable boob and butt size on it? Marigold needs some competition.

Amen!

May is everyone who grew up in poverty or was raised by someone who did. "okay but what if I got this I don't want nearly as much instead because it's cheaper?"

She's been trying to suggest someone else might be more deserving every time she talks about it. It isn't *just* a lack of self-esteem... it's also a selfless assumption that someone else might need it more, and deserve it more, so more good could be done elsewhere - which means she's earnestly wanting to do the most good. Someone will point this out to her eventually, and she'll have to be an ass to make up for it, lol

That's a brilliant thought. Built-in emojis. :)

How was it not painfully obvious to me that Beeps would have tear ducts... Or.. is the anime sort of tears actually something like Roko's color changing abilities, and they're just wavy white lines on her face and there are no tears at all? Also, that smile of May's.... weary and hopeful... followed immediately by her and Roko just.. over it. XD I love this comic.

Travis Wedding

I feel like this is the beginning of a beautiful character change for May. Hopefully still retaining all of her sass but I feel like this is going in the direction of her wanting to help others like she's been helped. Possibly working with Roko?

Sarah Manx

"...and the other brought you strippers!"

or would it be hardware? do AI have separate driver files to interact with their hardware?

its a software bug, her face returns to default when crying

Jaysyn

Looks like she engaged the Pinocchio protocol.

I love Beeps' digital anime tears. Nice touch! Did the salesbot spontaneously sprout a nose?

David Durant

May's face in panel 4 is doing a hell of a job conveying difficult mixed emotions. Jeph's really turned into an excellent artist.

Mark

Pay it forward, May, I'm sure there's a lot you could get done as a sexy Amazon - is there any other kind?

Nick Hodgson

I would absolutely buy that!

Lee B.

Srsly need a “hell ass” shirt

gatherer818

Not after May allows herself to buy all the fancy attachments. And the vacuum joint cleaner, and extra joint cleaning solution.

Shane Wegner

She deserves it.

Sign: "Buy yours a new ass! You deserve it!"

Michael Boettger

When Roko talked to the guy at the agency, he said that May was an odd case. Some, he said, just stay in a server rack, and some slip back to their old chassis. He seemed to imply that May's offense occurred whilst being disembodied, and she requested a chassis upon release. All they had was her current wornout one, and no money for upgrades or refurbishment.

Daniel Rydberg

The pink robot lady sales person of this shop has a really high pitched voice in my head. Like anime squealing girl high. She is adorable tho!

Sleepy John

She's going to get fancy, and she's going to grab Sven and beat the hell out of it.

Joseph Bonnar

Tied for the best comment on here. (I'll go quietly now, occifer Raccoon.)

Joseph Bonnar

Nor was I ever offered one, and MINE is wearing out! :(

Diana

None of my friends have ever bought me a new body

Matthew Van Gangelen

IKR

William Cole

You just won't be able to touch it.

Hugh Eckert

Aww, May...

Bagge

The process will not be goober-free

You all and those cactii. Now that I see them, I can't stop seeing them.

wish I could buy myself a new ass

Captain Button

Obviously she is lying about something.

runrin

im so happy for may. this hits home pretty hard for me. may's character development has been extremely believable in this arc. thanks jeph!

R L

By the fates, Bob, can you PLEASE not jinx it?

Quinn

I feel like the cause and effect might be the other way around tbh

Bob Guthrie

Monday, good, no chance of cliffhanger in the horizon, the story continues to unfold... unless a new story arc is about to drop tomorrow 😬

Alan

She joked about being trash so often, she actually internalized it as the reason she doesn't deserve nice things.

Bob Guthrie

Wait, did Ana just sprouted a nose? (Checking last trip prior), uh, yes, that’s a new nose, or maybe it didn’t read on the past strip? (Confused)🧐

runrin

looks like it

Nicholas A Wagner

Not to be picky, but there is one nose too many in the last panel.

Michael Boettger

There are 2 more strips this week. Plenty of time to cut back to Elliot and Clinton.

You know what?! I will treat myself to a new ascot!

Bacon Lord

Please don't keep the body reveal to next week I NEED THIS

I love the thing in the back that just says "Buy yourself a new ass. You deserve it."

Magic Chopstick Games

Tangentially, you can apparently buy yourself a new asymptote in this joint

Suzanne Soy

It's telescopic!

Chase the Dragon

"Why Would They Program Me to Feels!?"

Tom Carlson

Where did that nose come from?

Danya Michael

YAY MAY.

Brooks Moses

Oh, definitely it does. It may say _more_ than that on the ends of some of those words, but it definitely says at least that.

Andrew Mitchell

I'm with Beeps. May's moment of acceptance was definitely tear-worthy. <3

Chris Henry

That tv screen absolutely says "buy yourself a new ass" and no one can change my mind.

Nikki

Aww man, why can't I buy myself a new ass?

R L

The last time May tried changing bodies, she ended up in robot jail. I think her current reluctance to get a new one might come from there just a bit?

May searching for any reason not to have what she wants, and finally accepting it. Man I needed this.

SpookyPenguin

But what colour ass will she choose?!?

She and Sven are going to start dating, calling it now.

Damien

I'm sure this has been mentioned, but I would like to see a Hell Ass shirt :)

Aw, but "douche canoe" has such *character.*

Chong Go

Thanks, Jeph! These comics really make my day!

Joel Bateman

I mean, May was already pretty cute, but now I'm ready for sexy May.

Isaac Rivers

Wow, she called them 'goobers' and not something like 'fuckstains' or 'douche canoes'. She's maturing!

Grace Kieser

Everyone deserves the best ass they can!

Caleb Hill

I see that as grabb'n, Beeps

Fart Captor

Oops I already ship her with Beeps

I know it’s probably the Migraine, the meds, and the storm systems, but I did tear up a bit at the very meme-able “I’ll let myself be fancy for once”

Miyaa

Steve apologizes for the onion cutting this evening. He will invite you to his premiere hosting of his new line of onion rings chips he’s releasing in 2021.
