Michael

Just be yourself, it's worked so far.

GregD

I think Yay is possibly a force for good here. Their desire for romantic farce aside

Anonymous

That is absolutely part of his appeal.

paradon->paragon

A Paradon is a type of dinosaur that epitomises the very essence of being.

Ooh, farce seems fun

There is going to be a day when Yay! manages to annoy the WRONG person and discovers, "Hey, so this is what being punched in the face feels like! Let's not do it again because it HURTS!"

Michael Boettger

Elliot, you're good enough. And listen to Yay. They can probably synthesize advice from Ann Landers to Ask Emily. And they're probably right enough about this.

LH

i suspect Yay is immune to physical force, so to have this effect it would have to be an *emotional* gut punch. ... and now i kind of want to see that storyline.

Michael Voorhis

Panel 3: paradon ---> paragon?

SpookyPenguin

Elliot, more adorable than the cat. That's hard for a cat lover like me to say, believe me!

Dean Reilly

Eight drunken Spookybots show up at the bar looking for trouble, to give Elliot the maximum opportunity to appear confident.

Funny you should say that, 'the chasm of romantic farce' is my wife's nickname for my -- HEY WHAT'S THAT OVER THERE

At long last it's come to this, Jepf? Esperanto?

Oh lord, we already have one Don, we couldn't survive two!

I was thinking the same thing. Did a Google and a paradon is a type of viola lol

You're good enough, you're smart enough, and doggone it, people like you.

awgiedawgie

Well, since a chasm is a deep hole, I shudder to think what part of you that's your wife's nickname for.

Kenneth Carlile

Wow, it's got to be such an advantage to be an AI when playing with cats... claws can't possibly hurt as much!

I think you misunderstand - the Paradons were an elite regiment of Italian Special Forces raised in Sicily. During the early stages of the Second World War, they were dropped behind enemy lines to buy up businesses and offer special insurance to local military forces which would have a variety of unfortunate accidents if (or sometimes even though) they failed to pay. Unfortunately, after several remarkably successful campaigns, the unit had lost so many of its members to internal attrition ("friendly fire" was a particular problem) that it had to be disbanded. Most of the Italian government of the time survived the dissolution of the unit, but Benito Mussolini was severely wounded and walked with a limp for the rest of his life.

Yay is growing on me. Slowly.

Damnit, I come here for the questionable content, not life advice! 😜

Paradon: Accusative singular of Parado in the Esperanto language. Parado = stopped in Esperanto

Reasonability? Is that a word? Is that a new word? I think 'reasonableness' would be more appropriate.

Bagge

Did someone say 'Wacky hijinks?" Yay said 'Wacky hijinks'!

OMG that side-eye Yay is showing in panel too. And their look of mischief as they deliver that final line. Amazing work Jeph. You just know we come here for our daily dose of romantic farce.

Lisa

I really enjoy Yay's combination of spot-on analysis of humans' interactions coupled with her inability (or unwillingness) to play by human social norms. She's being tactless in panels 2 and 3, and if she had previously established a pattern of communicating politely, it would be rude and insulting. But since it's her, it's reassuring. In any case, Elliot seems a bit reassured. In general I enjoy how Jeph writes a diversity of communication styles that reflect characters who process ideas differently from each other.

I'm sorta surprised she didn't offer to play the role of bread dough.

Michael Boettger

I can just see what would happen if Clinton met Yay, fanboy meets godlike AI. Faye might have to talk him down.

Stomat

Yay romantic farce!

Nicholas Kratzer

The "chasm" of romantic farce is such an apt description.

I'm totally going to name an album "The Chasm of Romantic Farce"

Uh... Is Elliot slimming up too?

"paradon" (panel 3): 'paradox' + 'mastodon' =an improbable creature, outdated by time and circumstance i.e a suave confident bisexual near-virgin

Wolfger

Did Yay just flirt with Eliot? Or am I projecting?

Flounder

I think they're more interested in the prospect of chaos.

David Pipes

"Paradon"? :-)

Cathal Mc Ginley

I love Yay's eyes in panel 1, and that paw in panel 2

Ack

I think that's supposed to be paragon.

CaseyAEC

I wonder if Yay knows where they are.... a comic...., as in Genre-Savvy.

Since when has Yay developed a neck vent?

The character growth of Yay is such a joy to watch.

Super true! But also: Yay is a 'they' not a 'she'. Just a heads up! :)
