Kevin!
I know I'm a few days late to the party on this one, but the arrows the word boxes in the rest of the comic seem to be pointing at specific things, and the one about her attitude toward morality is pointing sort of at her, ahem, lower torso area. Is her morality module in her butt? Is this just some really stealthy butt joke from Jeph?
Michele Williams
Maybe it IS Gary?

I want more spookybot in regular QContinuity. They could fix Momo's hair! More trivial uses for unfathomably powerful technological capabilities! MORE!
Sarah Manx
This really is one of my favorite character designs. :)
Rudolph Gerber
By the speed this was drawn and posted I think Jeph would have voted for this one too....

Well, if Melon had to lose to someone, I guess Spookybot is a good choice.
Krista Elliott
Spookybot is hopelessly smug but I still kind of love them. They showed real kindness and sympathy toward Bubbles after she found out her memories were gone. That alone puts them in my good books.

AI Greyhounds! ?! As others have mentioned, those could be AI speech boxes. Always wanted a dog who could self-introduce without all that butt-sniffing.

"Unlcear" should be "Unclear".
Peter Jensen
"Spookybot or the dogs?" "Yes"
Philip D Jones
Yay greyhounds! I had two of them. The first had a five year racing career, which is pretty remarkable. His owners refused to put him down; waited for a rescue. He was a 72-pound Pure-muscled snuggle-bunny. He loved to run. My second left the track with a stress fracture, which killed any interest she had in running. She was the most beautiful dog I’ve ever seen . Spent her days lounging on the couch and eating like a pig. Never gained an ounce. I miss them both.

Your vote matters whether you win or not
David Days
I think Corpse Witch has a good idea...
Trigon Manthree
Spookybot's speech balloons are round...
Chuck Dee
Would you really want to chance finding out?
Tim Eldred
Using nigh-limitless power to mostly poke and prod at humanity and AI, largely out of curiosity, and see what shifts or tumbles. I really like this concept.
Charlotte Grubbs
What would they do if I called them Spoopybot.
Rob McBobson
On a board game site, I call myself "Queen Michael." Somebody asked me "Are you a boy or a girl?" I responded "Probably. Lots of people are."
Rob McBobson
My favorite won! Democracy does work!
Nancie
I suspect that if I asked whether they are female or male, that the answer would be No.

Some of the best dogs are rescued greyhounds. Very sweet, affectionate, and are willing to goof around doing nothing except a few minutes of frantic running once or twice a day. Spookybot liking dogs of any sort is a good point, not a bad one.
Matthew
I VOTED FOR THIS! MY VOTE DOES MATTER SOMEWHERE! WOOT!
Matthew Foweraker
Spookybot terrifies me. The fact that they like pedigree dogs, particularly one with inbred health issues, does not help.
Emma Humphries
Jeph, do you know @Wolven? You two could have a fruitful discussion about Spookybot.
Bagge
That seems like a correct assessment of the smugness factor.
Jeffrey Nonken
Something like "Slartibartfast?" ...I SAID it wasn't important.
Hugh Eckert
Generally not a good idea to name dogs after Elder Gods but I think Spookybot could get away with it.
Will Weaver
They’ve got legs for daaaaaays
Kaarchin
Doggies!
Matt Grayson
Spookybot is post-grammar 🙃
The one verb not preceded by a pronoun is singular, so only one of them likes greyhounds and they're plural, or all of them like greyhounds and they're singular? This is the most important issue of my day
My mistake. Henry has a Corpsegrinder and a Witch, but no Corpse Witch.
Corpse Witch is Bubbles's old boss, now in robot jail. If I recall correctly, she is named after one of Slick Henry's sculptures in Mona Lisa Overdrive, but I may have made that up.
Celine Chamberlin
Corpse Witch was the nasty AI who forced Bubbles to work for her and stole her memories. Purple lady.
jeff fearnow
I could look it up but...wasn't He/She/It called Corpse Witch for a time? Or am I mis-remembering the innocent era before we had our bandwidth consumed with daily political histrionics?
Manuel Schumacher
"Close the door quietly, or you'll wake up Azathoth." Classic.
Douglas E. Smith
If you're going to have the moral ambiguity to dispense justice for crimes, yet still be unconcerned about the invasion of ANY privacy, then you have to have so much certainty that you are right in all things that smugness is an absolute requirement. So damn smug!
Matt Grayson
Those are all speech balloons... I hear the dogs saying their names. Even the leggings have an opinion.
Ben Russell-Gough
The Collective, ladies and gentlemen. The power of Q but, fortunately, also a similarly juvenile and mischievous mindset. God knows what would have happened if they were ever genuinely malicious in intent!
I still suspect that the spookybot collective is somehow related to Gary.
Abhayakara
It was never not going to win. Come on! :)
All style, no morals. Kind of like Oscar Wilde was God. Which would explain a lot, come to think of it.
I did not realize how strongly changing font would convey sound but now i know better. AZATHOTH is best dog.
Carl Cravens
Greyhounds!
Paul Cantrell
I voted for this and I am not disappointed.
Summer Sudbrink
Creepy snake eyes: Possibly a result of hating Ben Stein. Or wanting to impress Sam.
Kriss Pang
Mr Smooches is awesome!
MsMythchief
Spookybot!
The Shadow's Lair
Ahhh my favourite
Everett Bradshaw
AZATHOTH. Best dog name ever.
Vanestus
Adorable Greyhounds!
Chris Olstrom
Most impressive turnaround, dude. Super fast!
Matt Grayson
Yay!
