    Did she pick that one because it was the drone with the shoes?

    So. Sweetheart’s vehicle-of-choice is male, caucasian, and built like a GQ model with a chin you could moor boats on. INTERESTING. VERY, VERY INTERESTING. She picked a dominant human as she sees them, the top of her cultural pack; why no, I’m not reading anything into that at all. O_O

      What? No man-bun sticking up? How are we going to tell when someone else is driving this drone?

    Not only can she reach the shelves, she has opposable thumbs to open the cans!

      I’m not sure she needed thumbs to do that before, but you’re right, this will increase the efficiency of the process.

      And use the pencil sharpener. But that’s Unity’s role, isn’t it . . .

      Is there anything else that Sweetheart might want to do in this male drone body?

    How does Unity say “brain glaze” without drooling?

      Her usual brain glaze comes from the Honeybaked Ham store.

    My instinctive mind voice for this drone was Norm the Robot from Pheneas and Ferb. Now it is stuck there, forever.

      The best part is that I’m seeing the episode where Norm takes initiative conquering the city… he was singing when I read your comment XD

    The Raggedy Ann heart is perfect.

    Is that the best Sweetheart could do in drone selection?

      I doubt it. I’m starting to have a suspicion what the “hundred dresses” are going to be…

        Well, they were prototypes…and the final drone seemed kinda buggy…so Sweetheart might have to go through them all before finding one she can live in—live with.

    Trust me, Sweetheart, that’s a mixed blessing. Wait until little old ladies begin stopping you in stores and asking you to get something down off the top shelf for them.

      I’m one of those old ladies, and I want my own drone!

          Well, an old and female one.

    Soooooo we have a big pile of remote-controlled human-shaped robot bodies… and a disenfranchised minority of a few thousand sapients?

    I mean, the obvious solution is to just use all those robots to make literally everyone look like normal humans. Build more if you have to. Since the initial huge pile was apparently created on a whim.

    The only problem with this solution is the webcomic has no reason to exist if all the characters can pass as normal.

      Unity can’t pass as normal (as a concerned citizen once pointed out), and she’s already human-shaped. I don’t think the future of the comic is in danger.

      Incidentally, all I was saying about the drone Sweetheart chose was that it has a wig which looks a bit too much like a wig for someone who wants to command respect rather than sniggers.

        I was reacting to the strip, not your comment. Sorry for the confusion.

    I’m with Unity on this one, I am powerfully uncomfortable with Sweetheart in a dude bod.

    Something about a guy looking like that going by the name “Sweetheart.” Something… I’m not certain what… but it sounds like failure waiting to happen.

    So yesterday we had Discount Scully, and now we have Bootleg Mulder?

    (Or potentially, Counterfeit Konstantin?)

    Brain-glazed! Dunkin’s newest flavor– it’s what’s for breakfast! Now also in Crullers and Donut Holes.

    I have a suspicion Sweetheart thinks this drone body will make for a good date night with Unity. I don’t think Unity will feel the same way.

      Is Unity even into guys? I know she said she liked Remy’s southern charm, but didn’t she at one point suggest that she wasn’t actually attracted to him physically?

    Unity sure doesn’t look happy at this development. And that body really doesn’t suit Sweetheart. When she borrowed Bubbles’ body, it did suit her, so it’s not just the ‘human’ thing. I guess she just doesn’t look right as a guy. Oh, and I figured she would dress better than that, although that may just be what Ginny had to fit the drone and she plans to go shopping next.
