Very Perceptive

Joel Bateman

Yes.

Dancing on the Edge of Sanity

Please people, no snippy comments!

Michael Boettger

Hmmm...given Sven's reputation, would an enraged ex-lover with scissors go after his hair?

Sleepy John

NOW he doesn't want to get into it? He was into it all the way up to the hips, before!

Joe

'joint lubricant' ...

Michael Voorhis

this reminded me of the other "truth stranger than fiction" strip: https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3010

Bagge

More like... multitool-ing

Bagge

It's a reasonable guess

awgiedawgie

Truth is stranger than fiction.

Brooks Moses

No, he needs to boink eight more.

Sleepy John

If he boinked a robot, is he now Sven of Nine?

Andrea Andrew

Dora is always kinda hit or miss in her observation.

Considering where they live, the emu is more believable.

Captain Button

If Eve was made from a man's rib, what will you get from a robot's hip?

Captain Button

Czech for "worker" from "R.U.R" Karl Capek's play about an android rebellion. Read it in high school. Ironically, his "robots" were synthetic people, all squishy and wet, rather than mechanical.

Larry Cadloff

It comes from a Czech word that means “worker”, from an old Czech-language play called RUR (Rossum’s Universal Robots), which was about artificial humans being used as laborers. Today we’d probably call them androids, as they were made of flesh and blood, not metal.

Bill Hall

HISTORY/LANGUAGE QUESTION: No Googling, Wiki-searching, or other research allowed. What is the meaning of "robot?" (No. I don'wanna move this to Quora or the Evil Disqus.)

Matt Grayson

In our next episode, May's hip is pregnant!

Carl Fink

Meanwhile May goes to Faye and Bubbles for repairs and Faye finds ... male human joint lubricant ... in the hip socket.

Bill Hall

Is not!!! Bubbles is an AI, not a mindless automaton!

Mitchell Sealy

I don't understand why she's so skeptical? One of her best friends is practically married to a robot.

She was right, at least, about the scissoring ;)

Bill Hall

Always tell the truth - if they don't believe you, whatever happens is *their* fault!

Dylan T

With all the shit that Dora deals with nowadays, wouldn't Sven's answer be more sensible?

Michael Boettger

Seven's reputation precedes him. He's like the boy who cried wolf of Northampton, MA.

Extremely minor error - the comic number says 4092.

That was just about enough information for Dora (if she weren't insisting on her version) to guess that Sven is having something with May.

Peter McDevitt

it was a DIFFERENT kind of "scissoring."

Alexander W Couzens

Hey, glad to see Dora and Sven are on speaking terms again!

Kinda Squirrely

Honestly, he'll never get anything done with feeble lies like that. Go with something more believable, like being attacked by an Emu with a Cloaking Device.

Well, you do have form in having that kind of ex that might decide to make a voodoo doll with your hair...
