Questionable Contemplation

I also believe he is currently high AF.

A while back Claire told him about them.. He wasn't all that excited because its not the first time ita happened, and he didnt know them at the time. Perhaps its just becoming more profound via his social proximity..

the most interesting thing about this is that Clinton's musing seems to indicate that it is unusual for such a couple to exist. are they the first AI-human romantic linkup?? is all this so new?? AIs sharing a society with humans has presented in a very matter-of-fact way in QC for a long time - is the integration of society a more recent event/process than previously implied?? this is fascinating.

Kuragari

Think fast, Clinton!

Lars Gottlieb

Eeek. That storyline was creepy as hell.

Tim Williams

someone has to be the "I" in AI. Faye is pretty much the 'A" for aggressive,

The Cincinnati Kid!

It's been sooooooo long since Faye punched anyone!

Miyaa

“Wait, was this foretold by the Mass Effect side plot of Joker falling in love with EDI and its conclusion by making Joker have some robotic parts and EDI having some human parts?” At this point, Claire smacks Clinton upside his head.

Positive changes in Faye when she felt ready to date Bubbles.

Bagge

Since when is Faye asking for permission?

Small typo in 3rd panel

Atashkada

Yay for rep!

David Pipes

SpookyBubbles read minds...

Dean Reilly

Bubbles doesn't realize that he's also waiting to use the can.

Daryl Resplandor

Staring into space while having an internal monologue isn't a guys only thing. You can't fault someone for getting lost in thought.

Lee B.

Love Bubs!

Kriss Pang

That sounds like a good way to get an angry person on my tail! I'll leave the ginger punching to someone else lol.

Michael Boettger

Maybe she saw a similar look when Faye's sister and her girlfriend visited?

Chuck Dee

I can also.

allanfranta

I was in a bar in Scotland, my glasses fogged up so I took them off. 2 women at the next table took offense because they thought I was staring at them. Uncomfortable. I couldn't see but a blur, of course.

Carin Maja Brooks

I am glad that Clinton recognizes aro folks

To be fair his face could only be more punchable if he was orange...

AJ Sharma

I've taken up this weird habit on public transit. I'll just stare blankly at my phone. Not at anything on it, but just so I am not looking in the direction of anyone who might think i am staring.

dcy665 .

As I recall, there are several female AIs that have interacted with Clinton. And Brun. Who is not an AI, but has AI tendencies. And tendencies with an AI for that matter.

Thomas Halpin

When I was younger, I would get lost in thought with my eyes staring in some direction or other that I was no longer paying attention to, oblivious to anybody I might be bothering. I hope Clinton has a better time learning to deal with it than I did.

JD

do men know how creepy and uncomfortable this really is tho

Douglas E. Smith

I can sympathize. When I get into Deep Thought mode my eyes just fix on a point and don't move. This can also be referred to as Derp Thought mode.

Anthony Gaglianese

I mean....one can think about deep philosophical questions regarding the nature of sentience and companionship...AND be thinking about people boning at the same time. Those two concepts are not mutually exclusive.

Ack

Maybe Clinton should get Millefeuille's assistance to grapple with them.

Thisguy

A philosopher or scientist has a specific look when they are observing and thinking about a phenomenon. Clinton has that look, and Bubbles knows that look.

Barry Callahan

Yes. But THEN, he wasn't so high on weed that he was tripping balls.

BobC

Wait. Maybe not. Is Clinton's hand secretly sentient?

BobC

Well, that pretty much sums it up, proof in-hand: Clinton's been posting to, or at least reading, Patreon comments.

Bubbles is very insightful... And patient XD

Dylan T

Nulgar

Well if that means WE get to find out, too...

I'm still stuck wondering what a world of loving partnership between humans and humans would look like. ..

Brent

Even as a guy, I do too. I'm crazy attracted to women who are taller than me, too bad I'm average American height

Czarzhan

This is why I've trained myself to avert my gaze, if only slightly, to a neutral subject when immobile and thinking "deep thoughts". It's normally not an issue with me, as I am rarely immobile in that state. I pace.

Sora

"thinkg" is probably my new favorite spelling.

Olivia MacRae

Maybe he’s thinking of what it would be like to date *someone* a foot taller than he is...

Leaflemming

12 minute allowance for non-creepy contemplative thinking seems generous but fair.

Michael Boettger

And this does tie into Clinton's academic studies, no?

Bailey Tighe

To Them, maybe?

Andrew

Emily’s thoughts intrude: “Hey, keep it down I can hardly think about quantum entangled knitting over here!”

JD

Wasn't he not really interested in their relationship when Claire told him?

Mason Griffith

I just had the sudden urge to see Clinton being introduced to May.

Chris Cook

Love thisssss. Also typo in panel 3 on thinkg :)

Andrea Andrew

Why do I feel like this is gonna lead to him learning about Brun and Mille?

Andrew Mitchell

Jeph - typo alert, panel 3. "thinkg"

Cley Faye

Third panel, small typo: "what we thinkg"

Matt Grayson

Part of her situational awareness sensor suite.

Michael Boettger

Clinton asking the big question here. Also is he thinking about Millefleur and him?

Shawn K. Younkin

LOL- I love how Bubbles knows EXACTLY what Clinton is thinking.

No Clinton that's rude.

Boots McGoot

u are arrested
