Pretty sure the role of ‘Neighbor Bob’ in the Pearls universe is to represent all the various sensitivities that people get worked up over. Personally, I find it much easier in life to just be a curmudgeon that everybody with sensitivities will usually avoid. Does that make me more like Rat?

Not terribly sure than an A.I. ‘person’ in a comic strip is a major threat to homeland security —just yet. So far most A.I. ‘people’ have been created as attractive young women in swimwear on the net to interest geeky guys.

I DID say to show her GENTLY you’re interested. If her response is ‘Get lost, you creep!’ I agree you should take the hint and look elsewhere. (Fortunately in my case, she was interested that I was interested in her, and that kept the relationship going.)
Don’t give up Pig. Keep showing her (gently!) you’re interested and you’ll eventually win her over. Same thing happened with MY college sweetheart and we celebrated our 50th with our kids and grandkids last month.
