My previous post was about a half-remembered sculpture; now I'm struggling to remember what strip it was Marten made a joke about "not since the surgery" when discussing having moved from California.

I _think_ it was in Coffee of Doom, but not sure that would help 🤷‍♂️

I JUST got into portal (20 years late, laugh at me) and reading about how aperture science is run by a madman who does stupid dangerous shit “for science” and the main point of contact is a much smaller piece of an incomprehensible entity sounds a lot like CubeTown except that it doesn’t make me want to [REDACTED]. And it’s good. I cannot overstate how good it is. Unlike QC, which is terrible.

Sorry if this is a nothingburger. The comic would be vastly improved by a GLaDOS-like figure who openly hates the cast and is not ‘just a gremlin who needs a hug uwu’

I haven't read the comic in a while and just trying to get back into it. I'm not sure how much time has passed in-universe, but the pace of the comic is very slow. Wouldn't the characters be in their late 30s? In my personal experience, that is an age where people start marrying and having children. It seems Dora got married recently.

So my question is, have any children been born in the comic? If so, which characters became parents? Are there child robots?

Think about it - this way, it feels in a tiny way like old friends you grew up with are still with you as you adult. Like, the characters feel real to me in a way few others in any media do, because it feels like I’ve been there for every facet of everyone’s daily life. Like people you live with and loved ones. It’s hard to read this for 20 years and not feel at least a little bit of that.

I accept my coming downvotes 😂😭
