Jammies

joe velsher

Seeing as they can make money by renting out their processing power, it seems likely they'd have some thoughts going through their heads even in a standby mode. I suppose we just don't know how their cognition looks, since it must be at least a little like ours, but inherently different.

Robin Wyatt

The height difference of Liz/Marten and then Marten/Evan is amusing. I’d like to see a height chart of all QC characters.

Some Ed

Different AI are different. It's apparently a choice they get to make.

Some Ed

No, software written to intentionally mimic people like me. I feel more present on this page than I'd like to be.

i like it

not much different than home

Canopus

Do AIs sleep (and dream of electric sheep)? Don't they just plug in and recharge?

Ursus Ridens

They take anthromorphosis seriously. (Did I just invent that word??)

Ursus Ridens

(She's been waiting to post that since fourth grade.)

Mad Marie

C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT echo “Boot and Reboot were sitting on a fence.” echo “Boot fell off.” echo “Who was left?”

Mad Marie

Unless one works for The Sandman

Mad Marie

Do androids experience electric sleep?

jimbo

okay, the effective use the borderless panel (p4) is awesome

Zak Reichle

I'm somewhat bothered by the sudden realization that some AI do not have eyelids.

Zak Reichle

I am..... totally fine with that. 🤔

DaddyUmbreon

Sleepy security is bad security XD

OldGoat

He boot-up routine is running slow.

Leak

When AIs sleep they're probably just null-titasking...

Karvil

Her Security Senses were tingling after sensing a Disturbance... needs some fine tuning, those.

Christopher Wolfe

Why would she be groggy and sleepy if she’s an AI? Slow boot-sequence after going into hibernation mode for the night?

Sean Kinlin

Maybe it's just that their skin polymer sticks together when the eyelids are shut for a while, and it has to be pried open? At least on the chassis models where the eyes can close.

Todd Ellner

AIs have eye boogers?!

Czarzhan

Not just the word bubbles, but that line at the base of their neck.

Captain Button

Sleep-patrolling!

Chauncey

Some AI strive to live the most organic lifestyle possible. Beeps has a whole morning routine that includes a shower, teeth brushing, and workout. Evan might be similar in that practice

Miyaa

Now you’re just challenging Jeph to make Beeps & Roko even cuter.

jimbo

okay, Evan aka Evanescent https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4938

Kriss Pang

For reference, they first appear in comic #4937!

enchantedsleeper

Their hair looks pinker in this strip xD

enchantedsleeper

I absolutely did NOT recognise Evan in sleepwear

David Paul

One more drink and Liz will totally use Evan as a jungle gym...

Phillip

For anyone else who was blanking on who Evan is, they are the Security Officer who was sweeping Marten and Claire’s room. Who also offered Marten a granola bar or fruit leather while talking to Moray’s Ai Jellyfish boss.

Opus the Poet

The word bubbles say Evan is an AI, but the situation and body language say otherwise.

Diptych

Evan, are you asleep and dreaming you're a Girl Scout?

Uniquitous

Marten is going to continue to probably be the most mature person in any given interaction. That will take some getting used to.

Sean Kinlin

To get to the other side!! 😃 ... wait, no....

Sammitch

Ok, I'll bite. Why is Evan half-asleep, in her jammies, outside the bar?

Zak Reichle

Huh? What?

Zak Reichle

Evan should wear her hair down more often, she looks great! Cute jammies as well. Beeps and Roko are no longer the most adorable AI's in sleepwear.

Carl Fink

I'm pretty sure "listening" is not her best skill.

Bill Silvia

Sounds like Liz wasn't listening.

Yelling Bird

Do Androids Dream of Electric Martens?
