Not sure exactly what to say here... As always, there is much going on both above and below the surface. The argument that 'the Boss' has always been a benevolent individual and truly means no harm to the now sentient dolls is an interesting twist to the story. Of course, since we've not been privy to all of his activities or thoughts, we can only take what we see at face value. Possibly an opinion from Carmen, possibly truth or possibly... A very carefully crafted tale designed by a truly Machiavellian mind to accomplish some as yet unrevealed goal. Wow, that sounds pretty heavy huh? Of course, it's been a pretty intense story since pretty early on, even with the funnies and fantastical elements. We hope that Carmen speaks truth and that soon enough Renee will realize it and see how her own perceptions were warped by her singluar vision of reality. But that sort of thing can either be a long time coming,usually after a total train wreck and destruction on a near biblical level.
I always love reading your deep thoughts & considerations, UTBH. Your comments have actually helped steer storylines in this strip!
Carmen speaks pravda about the Boss. Much of this story is about subjectivity (perhaps this is why so many of the characters say "Y'know that, right?"). And you know what they say about opinions...
There's still so much about this strip I find confusing. For one thing, why is the the Russian chick named Carmen? Shouldn't it be Natasha, or Ivana, or something a bit more Russian?
Do they eat? If so, does their body convert food to silicone? Do they have to breathe? Drink fluids. Piss? And, they're all Sex Dolls. Why is there so little sex going on?
Now it gets interesting. I've always wanted to take a look inside a sexdolls' head office. Obviously, there's more in there than just a wire that pulls the ears together. But how easy is it to insert arbitrary fake memories there?

Great use of lighting. Especially how it compliments the colors of the speech balloons.

That very interesting concept is explored in the Blade Runner franchise. Thank you for your loyal support, Othosmops!

The Girl with the black hair and glasses reminds me of Megan Fox. ^^;

The actress who plays Carmen in this episode will be flattered by your comparison! Thanks for reading, HawkandFlowAdventures!
