Well, I don’t have a copy of the story to hand myself. So you could troll me with a subtle Objectivist parody of “The Velveteen Rabbit” and probably get away with it.
Me: “Honey, tonight can you pee on me while saying ‘Service is my only joy'”?
Wife: “I thought you were going to stop looking at those freaky porn sites?”

Urine is funny! Urine is funny!
Can’t overrule her water cooler
Program, dude!
Her smile is sunny! Her pants are runny!
She pees on guys! To her surprise,
They think it’s rude!
Humidity condensing,
Then dispensing, so coy!
And you will hear her then sing
That her only joy is service, boy!
Urine is funny! So, Bubbles honey,
Just pee with glee!
Don’t ever stop!
(I’ll get a mop!)
Look, guys, she’s not human, she’s an android drone. Likely all that comes out is just water…maybe contaminated with a little motor oil, but that’s all.
I was wondering about the pincushion and scissors. Was Unity sewing something onto herself again? Then there was that game she used to play with Dr. Lee…
So, when we first saw the intelligent water cooler, I would have have never guessed she would receive one of the more interesting character arcs in the strip, and still wouldn’t have guessed even after her sex scene…
Having just read a comic book in which Groot tells a story, the possibilities are quite endless. All of the elements are there, since the comic provides the visuals which explains what each iteration of her words actually mean.
That said…since Bubbles is in a purely mechanical android body, wouldn’t her pee be just water with soluble impurities from whatever else she’d been ingesting? Still a bit of a shock, if she’d been eating garlic hummus or something…
What’s “mad” about using a 600-meter vortex of heated, damp air to generate energy? After all, what could possibly go wrong in creating a mini-cyclone and drawing the energy out of it? Oh, wait, I just envisioned a few. Not sure about the atmospheric physics calculations, but I think you’d want to build these well away from cities. I don’t think such an artificial cyclone would be self-sustaining for very long, if it did get out due to an outer wall failure in an earthquake or such. The size in the article is about 1/6 the size of the smallest long-functioning tornadoes, but a few minutes worth of whirlwind could still be destructive. I think the main danger would be in case of a multiple disaster scenario, like a containment wall collapse due to an earthquake in which a wildfire is also triggered. Hmmm…if you see a new SyFy movie called “Firenado,” you’ll know they read this comic.
U.N.I.T.Y. and an overly helpful fembot with, er, control problems. That’s a recipe for a restaraunt to take a dive in all the ratings. The other customers probably weren’t too happy either.
Aside from that, Sweetheart’s expression in Panel 2 is quietly heartbreaking. You can practically see the words she wants to say trying to leap out of her.
Back at the company I’m sure the general consensus was ‘Eh, we’ve had worse CEOs’
Actually, “watersports” is a thing. Not MY thing, but still.
yeah, but (despite the name) it’s not supposed to involve actual *water*.
Well, it’s mostly water…
Well, ain’t that a pisser.
That’s got to be a difficult apology using only “service is my only joy”.
“Is only service. Service. Joy?”
For some, it is downright golden!

Yeah, Velveteen Rabbit references over here are pretty much automatically redundant.

Well, I guess if you are impersonating a human being it’s a lot easier to accept someone who avoids sex than someone who never goes to the bathroom.
Why are the good girls always taken?
Thanks a lot.

I love the quaint tea service juxtaposed with the quaint sewing tools which are no doubt used to attach not-so-quaint undead body parts!
BarGamer: more typically referred to as a ‘golden shower’
But in her case, probably not golden.
Totally off topic, but despite the fact that it might turn out to be actually practical:

BELONGS in a webcomic about mad science.
Making an artificial tornado to be a power plant is almost as cool as splitting atoms to run your city.
Look, guys, she’s not human, she’s an android drone. Likely all that comes out is just water…maybe contaminated with a little motor oil, but that’s all.
Still…
At this point, I’m worried she’s contaminated with Unity. Altogether more troublesome: Nanites are worrisome things.
Okay, I love the tomato pincushion. Nice touch. Sweetheart and Unity have such a cheery looking kitchen.
I was wondering about the pincushion and scissors. Was Unity sewing something onto herself again? Then there was that game she used to play with Dr. Lee…

This is the first time in a long long time I’ve genuinely “ROFLMAO” at a webcomic. thank you for that. 🙂
Can you imagine how easy a Bubbles/Groot crossover story would be to write?
Please, someone fill this void in all our lives.
Go for it, or Shaenon will draft you into a Caliban crossover.

Fire tornadoes are an actual thing that exists, although I think only one has ever actually been filmed, incidentally proving their existence.
