What on earth would be in that program, may I ask?Being USB connectable to a Linspire laptop has it's advantages, don't they? I doubt the Happy Fun Corp never thought of their programs to be hacked by anyone who doesn't have Windows or Apple.

What could that program be? A remote override program?

Personally I wish it was. Pippkin could've been a gigolo if it weren't for Scarlet.

I'm a little confused here: These 'intelligent' costumes...Would you say that they are sentient beings in themselves?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's a good question. Not to mention a good source for some on-comic debate. Discussions over the sentience of something has been going on all the time, with robotics, animal species, and even in more darker venues, other groups of people (You don't have to look far for that one, even today, although I won't give it any more mention on _my_ site.) Over time, some of these intelligent costumes can and in some cases may become sentient, and how they come to be and what people might think of them? That's a discussion I would want to be a fly on the wall over.
Of course, the corporation and lab that made them only sees Dollar Signs and Attendence Records, just as they are with someone with a Linspire Laptop, they are completely clueless over what is going on with their products, and some of them, a la Dick from Robocop 1 as well as the person who rebuilt Murphy into the title character, would find the concept utterly offensive. While the readers and definitly those running about with Scarlet and, in the comming strips, Pippkin, would be convinced that they are as much real persons as they are.
As I was typing this, I got the idea that this may be fodder for some of the plot here in the comic. What say you?

Seems like a good idea, although of course you wouldn't want to take this so seriously that your humor is lost.

I found an error which I'll fix later. Pippkin calls Toni 'Jim'. Unless it's a part of the way British people talk?

Can Pippkin surf the net while connected? Man, that'd be awesome! Maybe that's why the USB port was installed in the first place? Because as a techie, yeah, i agree, most corporations oversee stuff like hackers, virii, and OS incompatiblility all the time.
His head on the first frame looks so cute.

Sorry, Pippkin can't surf the net while he's connected. All that port can do is monitor the integrity of the zoot, the condition of the host, and monitor--and in the case here change--whatever programming they have.
Of course, there may be an opprotunity of that changing in the future, you'll never know.
