Jeph would never stoop to prostituting his art for mere filthy lucre!

Brad Knowles

So, is Jeph selling xkcd shirts now? ;)

Bagge

Motorhead

Bagge

...That's actually a practical use for it. We asked. We were answered.

Joel Bateman

I'd pay for the third.

Joel Bateman

Maybe she wore the oven mitt?

Shawn K. Younkin

WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE SEX PISTOL??

Eric Rucker

Wait, but she can only give pinchy handjobs at best. Brings new meaning to snake bite... (https://www.sheldonbrown.com/brandt/snakebites.html)

Dolan

I think that's just the pigs snoot but it's super cute either way

Bagge

...they are not wrong

Joseph Bonnar

Agreed. :)

What is beginning to trouble me is the possibility that all human society is in fact a secret petting zoo for AIs, who actually run all the world's business but keep us preserved in our natural habitats because we are just so cute and fluffy.

Stomat

Secret Petting Zoo could be the title of that sex tape.

Bagge

You know what, I really like that way of thinking. There is no reason why the imaginary petting zoo wouldn't be a paradise for the animals. Shame we can't visit, though. It's just a bit upstate, but it's secret. I'm sure mr snuffles will love it there, with kind people and lots of toys and animal friends to play with...

Secret, not underground. You are free to imagine them paying taxes, undergoing inspection, and everything a petting zoo might do. They don't advertise, is all. Just as well, since they are imaginary as well as secret, and imagined by imaginary people as well as imaginary.

Bagge

It's very punk

Bagge

That's problematic in itself. Animal ownership, treatment and transport is highly regulated for a reason. Several reasons.

Bagge

...but not sorry.

MikeT

But not sorry

:O the horse is NIBBLING ON HER HAIR and the pig has the most gorgeous little smile I'm all out of squee today.

Dean Reilly

The Secret Petting Zoo, where an exclusive clientele pets the rarest animals using the latest techniques. If you want quantum entanglement petting with a Siberian tiger, this is where you go.

Andrew Tate

Ooh! Oooh! T-Shirt!!!!

Andrew

But is it their final form?

haggis_mchaggis

I would pay good money for a print of that final panel.

Cleo Schmitz

It doesn't have to be in a basement to be an underground zoo... just lack the proper permits.

Mark

I had forgotten about Momo's new 'do.

Captain Button

She can't have been having sex, there would have been more sirens and screaming...

Evgeniy Semyonov

Interesting that nobody even think about something as simple as sex (especially just with one male partner). May have crafted quite a reputation for herself. Really interesting to watch how it will play out in the end. May probably have some serious character development arc ahead of her.

Colin

I approve of marigold’s XKCD shirt

Bagge

Honestly, I have all sorts of animal welfare concerns for why an underground petting zoo would be a terrible idea. And let that be a lesson - adorable does not always equal good.

Joseph Erhard-Hudson

Possums, raccoons, skunks, frogs....

Bagge

She did pet Sven's snake all right, 'mIright? hurrhurrhurr... sorry

ysth

It was in the secret basement of the illegal AI fighting facility, but once that closed the petting zoo had to too; there's a certain atmosphere of transgression needed to support such a thing. The owner moved all the animals into their one bedroom apartment and May, suffering secret petting withdrawal, tracked them down.

Bagge

"This fuckin' town"

Elf Sternberg

Momo, too. And her eyes in that last panel ! ! !

What that's not google

alpaca butt

Minzoku Bokumetsu

I WANNA GO D=

Luke Stark

Is it bad that everyone else is focusing on how to embarrass May, but I'm wondering if there's a way to make Marigold's xkcd shirt meta in some fashion.

Noise

I know it's an "expected drama" violation, but I'd really just rather that May finally comes out of a situation happier than when she went into it.

Shawn K. Younkin

Marigold is looking crazy cute....

LH

I don't think sven counts as a furry creature. he keeps himself pretty trimmed.

Joel Bateman

Oh, she was petting something alright. Heh

Pete Hanson

I'd go to an all-night petting zoo fer sure!

Captain Button

Terry Pratchett identified the crime of "whitemail" where you threaten to reveal something like this.

The Shadow's Lair

this is too wholesome lol

Grant Swire

its so nice and good.

Adam Friedlander

Big same, though

Pavel Curtis

Me too!!

Seth Aaron Hershman has they she pronouns

Just remembered Momo has a huge crush on Sven. This can only go well.

Kyle Major

Well I bet she patted something

John Fiala

Well, they're not wrong. That would embarass May a lot.

Chris Gallaty

There was likely, in fact, petting though...

Summer Sudbrink

Not that kind of petting.

FoxDren

An all night petting zoo does sound awesome. Though I guess it would have to be nocturnal animals.

Samantha Yeaman

Marigold and Momo have literally ascended and become anime characters in panel 4.

Miyaa

If an alpaca determines you are smaller than an alpaca, they will rough you up. So I wouldn’t advise Momo to go to an alpaca farm.

JD

May rather admit to sleeping with Sven then let them think that she goes to a petting zoo to pet animals

Charlotte Grubbs

I forgot how cute Momo is with the baby bangs.

Kajsa Anderson

Embarrassing May does seem like it might be tricky

orangejuicenut

HERE WE GO THE MOMO DRAMA WOOOO

If this a thing please tell me

oh my god BABY

z

May secretly volunteers at a pediatric cancer clinic and actually offers wonderful help and assistance.
