    Man, Dr. Lee gets, uh, I’m trying to think of a nice way to say “mildly sexually harassed” and I’m not coming up with anything, but lady seems to come in for a lot of unwanted sexual attention despite her pretty clearly expressed refusals. Anasigma must have a lousy harassment policy, which, uh, can’t say as I’m surprised.

      And that’s simply because the sexual harrassment video is shown AFTER the shoe video…and brains don’t process well immediately after seeing that. Anything after it just rolls off like water off a wingtip.

        My company keeps sending me to sexual harassment training, but won’t let me use it. Apparently, A_Sig wants a better return on their training budget.

    tune: “Kiss Is on My List,” Hall & Oates

    You confess to me that you’re a robot
    But it’s not true
    How am I to believe anything out of you?
    I don’t see why you should want to seduce me so bad
    I must condemn lesbian stratagem. You’re a cad!

    But when the merlot begins to flow
    And lights are low
    There’s only one thing that I really know:
    That my bi-curious side
    Will ignore how you’ve lied

    Because you kiss (you kiss) with rubber lips
    And yet that kiss (that kiss) I can’t resist
    Because you kiss while you persist
    With nefarious plans

    And when you kiss (you kiss) with rubber lips
    You’re Vulcanized, from lips to tips of nips
    So kiss me hard, if you insist
    While my horizons expand

      Your spoof and Eddurd’s are about on par! One problem: Violet has no nips.

        According to Jeff, she’s anatomically correct, and I figure he should know:

        All y’all’s need to work on your excuse-creativity before you decide to become fembots.
        However; personally, I think Nick switched from “all-knowing” to “snarky and deliberately provocative without regard for facts” without missing a beat. He does that. I bet Violet actually has nipples.

          That’s good for her. Otherwise there would be no way to recalibrate the gyros when they get off kilter as Nebulous mentioned a couple of days ago.

    “I don’t know when I’ll be with you like this again – I only have this shift on Wednesdays!”

    …anyway, how on earth does GODOT know who was piloting the Violet B-Bot?

    (TUNE: “And I Love Her”, The Beatles)

    She’s coming on to me,
    She has a crush …
    What trick has Violet Bee
    To make me blush?
     Lips of rubber …

    I said, “There’s nothing real,
    You’ve always lied!”
    But then, she makes me feel
    Quite warm inside!
     Lips of rubber …

      Those tender lips
      Of neoprene
      Have never been
      So inviting …

    This creepy female ‘bot
    I had despised …
    But then she gets me hot
    With vulcanized
     Lips of rubber …

      I was about to recommend Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl” as the obvious choice for a mash-up…but there wouldn’t be any reason to change the lyrics, would there?

    Dear Ginny doesn’t seem so much harrassed in this strip as deeply confused, perhaps conflicted.

    “Okay, you’re a good liar.”

    Does VL mean that VB is good at telling lies, or that VB tells lies in a good cause?

    That’s just what someone trying to seduce you for the sake of some stratagem would say!

    Remember the old government rule: Speak a lie loud enough long enough, and it becomes truth.

    Of course, in this case, press the lie against Ginny’s lips long enough, and it becomes reality. The wine helps.

      Will the gratuitous sex scenes be drawn out, if so I’ll like to order a crate of the next volume of Skin Horse. Or, better yet, make only one copy of a sexual graphic novel and auction it on E-bay… my bet is with the winning bid, you’ll be able to buy San Fran.

    WAAAAAAAAIIIIIIT A MINUTE.

    Is that Tip piloting Violet right now? The puppets, the offhand remark about a career soldier playing a namby-pamby therapist, the unexplained absence until after Tip has gone offscreen, the sudden interest in Dr Lee in “that way”, and the remarks about “you caught my attention some time ago” and “I don’t know when I’ll be with you like this again”… It’s all got me speculating.

    But at least it stoppe dme from writing the Katy Perry filk that today’s installment inspired me toward, so you’re all welcome there.

    I’m remembering now that Violet Bee threatened to HARM Virginia if Nick ratted out her mechanical-ness… maybe she just wanted a chance to confess on her own terms? Or she’s seducing Virginia just to piss off Nick. XD

        That would make sense. Robots aren’t likely to have the necessary glands to desire sex for it’s own sake.

      Or it could be different shifts. Maybe the person driving the USS Bee who made the threat and the person driving the Bee now are different! 😉
