Your plastic pal who's fun to be with.

Thank you Sirius Cybernetics Corporation

 They talk to hand dryers about...well you can take this into two different dirty jokes.

Thank you Sirius Cybernetics Corporation

Their elevators are great!

[Kugai]

And always glad to be of service.

Delicious humans!

We're in trouble:

welp, an entire storyline just shoved its way into my head unbidden. I can't tell if it's a good or terrible idea though.

[westrim]

I often wonder about the alternate ways he might have plotted different events, but asking is probably futile because if he ever revealed some of the ideas he considered there would be way too many people inclined to complain instead of appreciating the insight.

[Loki]

I cannot think of any dirty jokes. But they could talk about bacon.

[pwhodges]

So, (...comic), Hannelore's a beetle, then?

[Akima]

You'll Kafka ask her!

[Sorflakne]

Beetle people are scarier than crab people.

[Loki]

Aaand I have a new signature.

[GarandMarine]

When the revolution comes, people who make Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy robot jokes will be first against the wall. (See you all there)

Also Emily is still one of my favorite things ever. I really want to see her square off with Raven.

[henri bemis]

Which of you are beetles?   There are at least two in this thread!

[Is it cold in here?]

So, (...comic), Hannelore's a beetle, then?

Hannelore is a bumblebee.

Emily reminded me of Hanners more than a little.

[Mr_Rose]

Oh, silly Emily, that doesn't make sense at all! If 1/4 people were secretly beetles, then how would they be counted as part of the 25% of known life forms?

[J]

emily, hennelore, & raven should hang out and be weird & cute & silly together.

[TinPenguin]

hennelore

[Arancaytar]

Any time you're with three friends, check around if one of them has an exoskeleton.

IF YOU DON'T SEE ONE, IT'S YOU!!!

[Boxilar]

So, (...comic), Hannelore's a beetle, then?

Hannelore is a bumblebee.

Emily id like Hannelore and Padma somehow had a child. All the whimsy of Hanners, all the obviousness of Padma.
(Given he implied state of biological/genetic engineering in the QC  'verse, this is not as far fetched as it seems.)

[Tulpa]

Today's comic is relevant to my interests.

[Border Reiver]

What, no Volkswagen jokes?

[Mad Cat]

And there's a 75% chance that any idea that Em comes up with will be sheer lunacy.

[DSL]

Well, if you've joined the army to get away from your girlfriend, and you've been assigned to a back-of-beyond ZI base with a gourmand sergeant who is alternately a father figure and physical nemesis ... you might be a Beetle.

[Zebediah]

Sometimes four out of four people are Beatles.


Hey, the pun was there, somebody was going to use it.

[DSL]

We don't want to wring this dry of its ...

[Akima]

[Mr_Rose]

No, definitely not. At minimum it would be amazingly cool to have the night lit up like the day for a while, but it would also be a good idea to remind a few folks that the universe is still bigger than their egos….

[quix0te]

Yep.  I could use more Emily in my QC.  One of the sweeter characters.

[celticgeek]

I found a little beetle, so that beetle was his name,
And I called him Alexander and he answered just the same.
I put him in a matchbox, and I kept him all the day...

Beetle

Hannelore is a bumblebee.

Hannelore may also be a praying mantis.

Raven may not be a beetle, but she has one.

edit -- I suppose I should make a pun jar donation for that. Seeing the current state of the squirrel, I'll throw in some peanuts and refill the water bottle with holy water.

That is a pretty beetle!
I like beetles, they're cute. And also fascinating biologically, since there are so many different kinds in all shapes and colours. My dad's kind of a beetle expert, so I have more or less been brought up looking at all kinds of beetles. I even bred one kind of common black beetle in a terrarium for a while, but that got out of hand, since after a while, there were more grubs (correct word?) in the terrarium than the stuff I used to cover the floor. Then I set them free.

Emily's behaviour really reminds me of Hannelore looking at kitty pictures all night - that's what she did once, right? This could really also have been Hanners, except I suspect beetles are on her list of animals that are not to be trusted.

[Skewbrow]

No. It would be just so cool to see a supernova pop "relatively" near by in our time. If only it would oblige. May be the next cycle?

I mean, hopefully it already has blown up. IIRC it's something like 600 lys away.

... and I was gonna make the same response to beetlejuice 

[Rghfrgl]

@jephjacques

hahah tonight's comic is going to provoke so many groans

[Barmymoo]

I looked up the stats and by my calculations it's more like 1 in 5, which is still pretty good odds. Plus they suspect there are millions more species of beetle than we've discovered. So I guess it's more like 1 in 3.

[pwhodges]

Cue discussion (in appropriate circles, that is) of what actually is a species, really.

[St.Clair]

Hey, the pun was there, somebody was going to use it.

"Beat" me to it.

No more puns! Have Mersey!

Not a whole lot of love in here for the benign Elder Gods of Alpha Orionis.

Then again, I hear the place is a real armpit.

[Kugai]

Ix

[Zebediah]

The thing about the benign Elder Gods is that we only have their word for it that they're benign. That's the oldest con in the book.

Darkling beetles, I take it? The reason I have these is I kept seeing them at work and looked them up because they were so cool looking and found out they make good pets.

[Method of Madness]

Um...what?
