    Beginning to think her inability to turn anyone on was a feature, not a bug….

      Virginia would be fully justified in saying “This is inappropriate behavior from a team lead” and walking out.

    Ooh, a call back! (Dave referred to his “raging heterosexuality” when he noted that Artie was hot).

    It seems that referring to one’s “raging heterosexuality” = “straight, but hasn’t been on a date for months”.

    (TUNE: “Hallelujah”, Leonard Cohen)

    It seems a little strange to see
    Ms. Bee is coming on to me!
    She says that she and I would intersect well …
    A re-al woman she is not …
    She wants to show me what she’s got!
    But I am such a raging het’rosexual!
     Het’rosexual … het’rosexual …
     Het’rosexual … het’rosex-u-al …

    Now Vi-o-let is asking me
    To share in her conspiracy
    That Bee and me in secrecy would bind now …
    I have a qualm, I have a doubt,
    I have to say she creeps me out!
    She says, “Let’s have another jug of wine now!”
     Have more wine now … you’ll be fine now …
     You’ll be mine now … after wi-i-ine, now …

    The first thing that pops into mind to fix this dilemma… Gender Swapping Formula. Dave was a raging hetero, but with the formula, loved the lesbian sex.

      How would that help? Violet is a robot, I don’t think gender swapping formula would work on her. And turning Ginny from a straight woman into a gay man is hardly going to help either.

    Violet Bee has never heard of ethics, has she? I mean, a robot plying a human with wine?

    OK, I’m calling this:
    Violet Bee is in fact a sentient alien braid of hair controlling a robot body. The robot contains life-support equipment, but the braid prefers to feed off this kinda like mystic-life-energy-shizzle given off by people getting it on. (Midichlorians are involved.)

      I called sentient braid on July 20th (http://skin-horse.com/2012/there-are-a/), but now I’m inclined toward remote-controlled avatar.

        I think you were right the first time. It would explain how the braid moves contrary to the motion of her head, like in panel 2.

      That would actually be a lot less creepy than the truth.

    I got a better solution. Avatar-type remote control. The controller has to sleep, so that’s when the robot also must have downtime. And the controller is male. That also explains the cryptic “she is and is not” comment.

    It also explains the immunity to the mind control powers, because the controlling mind is too far away to effect. If it was a brain inside the mechanical shell, it would still be vulnerable.

      That speculation was thrown around earlier. I tend to favor it as well.

        Thirded. I think I was the one tossing it originally. No way is she all the way there, in any sense of the term.

      Unless the internally mounted male brain is shielded in some fashion from G.O.D.O.T.’s virtual messages.

      Except that there would be nothing stopping three controllers from keeping her up all night in shifts. No, it definitely seems to be a weakness of the body itself.

    If VB needs to commune with anyone, she should talk to Artie.

    This raises the question of whether Violet is ‘functional’ enough to get drunk? It would be funny if this ended with both of them hammered and Dr. Lee wearing another pair of extra underpants.

      If she cannot get drunk herself and is getting the other girl drunk so she can make a move on her, then that would be rape.

        I’m just saying that if it turns out Violet can get drunk, this may end up like Dr. Lee and Sergio’s previous round of drunken, non-sexual (as far as we know) debauchery. And that would be funny.

    Is Violet actually drinking that wine? If she eats and drinks, that could rule out some of the speculation about her.

    Whatever she is, she may already qualify to be a client of Skin Horse the same way Nick did. Then that federal mandate kicks in and, well, Tip, it’s all in a day’s work.

      Not really. Even Asimov’s famous R. Daneel Olivaw could socally eat and drink – but had to empty a disposal later since ‘he’ did not actually digest the food/beverage in question.

    Anyone reading this far down the comments should be aware that some of us might give out spoilers. The viewers are *really* surprised when we finally find out who Violet Bee is being driven by.

      Just because it’s far down in the comments – and preceded by some spam – doesn’t make it okay to give spoilers. There are still people reading the comic and the comments for the first time. It’s not fair to them to spoil the suspense.

      And unlike the rest of us, the newbies can catch up and get their answers in a couple days, rather than waiting years to find out.
