    The artist could’ve drawn feet instead of all those fingers, but would they have really communicated the alarm and distress of a surprise unicorn hug? No, no they would not. Thanks for going the extra mile on panel 3.

      I mean it’s pretty easy to draw hands when you make the fingers like banana peppers.

        Now I have to start referring to fingers as “bony meat peppers”.

            That’s what Unity says.

    Oh snap, we never knew what happened to those three other copy A. I. s, will they go to lovetron too?

      If they’re in the same matrix it’s unavoidable. Whether they necessarily have any idea that they are going is a separate matter. 🙂

        And whether they care or not is a third matter…

    Looks like Baron has solved the problem of hugging without hands. 🙂

      But you just need arms to hug.

    Why is Baron upset? Isn’t he going to Lovetron with Aimee?

      He is, but his best friend Nick is staying behind.

        *Thinks about how well Baron actually gets on with Nick*
        *Thinks about how well Baron gets on with literally anyone else except Aimee*
        Yeah, that tracks, actually.

    Does this make Aimee the second girl to touch Nick after Dr. Lee?

      I suppose that depends on your definition of “touching”. Cuz all sorts of females – starting with Unity and Sweetheart – rode around inside Nick’s helicopter body. Unity even nailed her head to the console once (well, once that we know of). I bet Nick had a few choice words to say about those nail holes.

        I suppose I meant “affectionate hug.” Looking through the old strips and I found Nera Vivaldi gave Nick a big happy-to-see-you-in-a-human-body hug. Unity was also fairly friendly round the same time.

        Pretty sure Nick’s mom was the first.

          We don’t know what happened in the OR the day he was born.
          His Mom could have been the 3rd or 4th.

            Oh yeah, the stork may have hesitated to give him directly to the mom!

      That was exactly my thought.

        Then my wife looks over my shoulder. “Oh, that’s cute. Nick goes ‘oof.'”

    Good rule for group hugs; make sure one of the participants is not three times your size and quadrupedal before initiating.

      I will try to remember that tip, should the circumstance ever come up.

    The two of them won’t make the wedding. But a group hug is pretty tough sledding. One hugger onrushing is heavy and crushing two others in a move that the others were dreading.
