Either she's his girlfriend and he's just a complete asshole, or she's his girlfriend and he's being a sarcastic jackass(this is the only "good" scenario), or she's a clingy type who calls herself his girlfriend even though he's not into her at all and he's either set boundaries she ignores or he just doesn't really care if she invades his space like that.

No matter what, this comic sucks.

Maybe their relationship is fueled, in part, by sarcasm and thats just part of their dynamic. By being sarcastic, he's actually demonstrated that his battery has recharged.

[–] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 10 points 10 months ago

Except, they included his uncharged battery in most frames.

This is the case it was badly conveyed.

He's smiling in the last panel.

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Good take. That’s the only way I can get any wholesomeness out of the comic. Otherwise it just feels awkward and bad!

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Or that batteries don't actually work like that

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Well, batteries only charge when you plug them in. (hint hint)

Yeah, "subverting" basic human love is just depressing

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I'm very much feeling the last scenario. She seems incredibly clingy.

Yeah, I'd downvote it, but it is currently showing 666 net votes, and that captures how I feel about it even better.
