Around the house we sometimes joke about “thumbies” for situations like this. Thumbsona?

Michael

Matin is just having his own conversation

Yamtaggler

I see people on Facebook referring to their children as their “Skin Children” (as opposed to Fur Children, it’s in a pets group) and it never fails to creep me right the fuck out.

Skinsona sounds like an AI Hannibal Lector.

Dave Van Domelen

In the Kevin & Kell webcomic, where everyone is an anthropomorphic animal, there's a "human" fandom that's set up like furries. I forget if they're called Skinnies or what.

I suspect you can have a fursona of an exceptionally hairy dude (or woman, I suppose).

Anonymous

Technically there are AI furries. We did see a giant robot bear, plus there's Gordon and Reggie.

I did not need “skinsona” in my mind! 👀

JD

Do I want to know what tubgirl is?

Noise

And then there's scalies (reptile and dragons), and pretty much any sort of term people latch on to. The thing that bothers me about furries isn't the animal personas, it's the poor research.

Pejo

I totally called it! Everyone who said Aurelia was trolling owes me a cookie. 🍪

Panic Blitz

We have such sights to show you…

Skinsona, flesh apparel, meat mask. Yeah no option sounds good.

Michael Boettger

Scary thought: Aurelia's Webcam is on. And now her fans think Claire is her. And Claire gets all. This. Unwanted. Attention.

Kuragari

What was Buffalo Bill's skinsona?

WTF is wrong with people!? Obvi those are furless babies as opposed to fur babies. Geez

Tannerbot

Not gonna lie, I have definitely gone onto tangents like Marten has.

Elberik

It's always funny seeing normies try to work through the furry fandom.

Nutjob

I mean... PlaneSonas. (Don't go digging)

Nuclear Bob

Of course you can’t help making Aurelia’s butt cute.

CaseyAEC

It boggles my mind that Marten didn't know what vtubers are. I used to think that he and I were similar, passive go-with-the-flow. But Martin doesn't explore the world to see new things.

Ok, did I miss something, or is my memory shite? Tubgirl incident? Do I want to know? Because I sense flavors of TwoGirlsOneCup....flavors...wrong word

Heather King

DO NOT GOOGLE! It’s 2 girls one cup, only it’s one girl, no cup, in a tub getting the just right angle.

Orion Rhine

I really wish I could find it again (if only to prove to myself that it wasn't a fever dream) but I once found a bunch of screenshots about a techno-organic virus that turned machines like cars, planes, and tanks into living creatures. The details were actually quite clever like how a tanks turret could no longer turn 360 degrees due to the meat and nerves that grew into it and how armor plate gained pores. Then there were more disturbing details like "ports and probes" and half human half jet fighter children. I know I saved the screenshots, but I have no clue which of my hard drives I saved them to.

Orion Rhine

You have a wolf fursona? Fine, everyone has their own oddity, it makes the world more interesting. You are the "alpha" of your own pack and brutally punish your "betas"? Do you have any idea about how wolf social structures actually work? The whole alpha/beta/omega structure was debunked years ago. Wolves do have a social hierarchy, but it's actually quite loose and really only applies to organization while hunting. One of the worst arguments I ever had, mainly because he kept resorting to howling whenever he was proven wrong.

I believe Skinhorse (or Narbonic) used Thumbies to describe transgenic animals with human personas.

Yohannon

Wouldn't an AI pretending to be human be assuming a persona?

Anonymous

Too late. I googled. TIL about tubgirl...

lilibat

It puts the lotion on its skin...

Onyx

Oh fair, that makes sense. Also, I WAS RIGHT.

Onyx

And I love that her reaction is about the craftsmanship of the suit. She is just so cool.

KapsLocked

Ironmouse coined the term Fleshtuber for IRL streamers in the past week

Andrea Andrew

Is it wrong that I want to see Claire’s mom get involved in a romantic relationship?

Daryl Sawyer

> Skinsona sounds like something a serial killer would have. Or Pintsize.

MikeT

Martin needs a pipe and dressing gown if he's going to drop deep and meaningful musings

Anonymous

Now I have that Knack song in my head. Muh-muh-muh-muh-muh-muh-MY FURSONA!

Karvil

I think we see the logical conclusion of AI's with skinsona's in the video game Kenshi with the Skin Bandits and their Peeler machines.

pseudoclever

Very good “ack” face for Martin in panel 3.

i like how the girls are just ignoring martin's tangent. also silence of the lambs is transphobic and bad.

Fiorabunny has been using that for a while now to describe when he's not using the V-tuber sona.

Tune in next time when Jeph trolls us that "there ain't no AI party like a Lemon Party"...

Tub girl. Man that takes me back....

Onyx

She's having fun with college boys, she may not be into a relationship at the time lol

Anonymous

Thanks for the reminder, Jeph.

But I do appreciate that Marten is channeling the audience on an important topic.

Marten are you high?

Bagge

OK, but IF Aurelia tries to be a furry she would have such a GREAT costume

Anonymous

"sona" is the word for "knowledge" (and related concepts) in Toki Pona.

Boots McGoot

strong suspicion that AIs with humansonas were briefly considered, and rightly rejected, for the strip. Good looking out Jeph

jimbo

okay, had to google tubgirl. Urban Dictionary commented .."While the feat must be applauded for its impressive combination of acrobatics and imagination, it cannot be denied that it is one of the main contributors of the increase in America's dependency on antidepressants. "

Was like oh Marten, no. Then Martin also realized oh Marten, no.

Randall Norman Pick

Not that Melon has a skin suit, but she does sort of try to approach a human lifestyle abstractly.

Ace of Hearts

I wonder if there are there any AI's whose body is a furry body. Like for them it's not a costume they are just raccoon.

Mad Marie

The cylons are among us

dragonkittyrawr

I love this little conversation Marten is having with himself

Drakoo Dreamer

Do AI's put on like fat suits to pretend to be human? Pretending to be a fat american, 'eating' a cheeseburger, Murica!

Anonymous

i'm imagining the chat when she tells her fans "hi today my kids told me about furries, it sure looks like fun :3c" and the mass meltdown

Jared Cyr

Do you want an AI Buffalo Bill, because that's how you get an AI Buffalo Bill...

Taellosse

I just love it when 1 character off to the side has an almost entirely different conversation from the others in the comic, all by themselves.

Diptych

It's true! It's kind of fascinating how it was -aware- it was being transphobic and bad, but didn't quite have the tools to understand how, or the courage to simply be about something else instead.

Clinton's mom has got it goin' on.

Marten's brain is broken.
