--- Quote from: PHDrillSergeant on 30 Jul 2013, 11:41 ---This is one of the first QC story arcs I haven't enjoyed. Specifically, it really stretches the boundaries of what we expect from the QC universe, even taking into account sentient AIs and holographic glasses. The idea that a company would pay someone $1500 to try out a demo of a criminal ai who berates you for days is just ridiculous to me, even in a comic which has featured a robot who glues pubic hairs to his face. the holo AI is written very boringly in my opinion, and each strip here is terribly predictable.

I don't much care about the logistical details regarding the demo, but I agree that I don't like the story line, and it's largely because I cannot take May seriously as a character.

This is also very true. And Jeph has had a few oddball characters that were hard to take seriously (Emily being another one that I generally dislike). May, on the other hand, feels scripted to be as vulgar and annoying as possible, which even if it is intentional, is very off-putting.
This week has been the first one that I skipped several QC updates in a row.

Jeebis. I think my brain had a little hemorrhage from reading through all 80 of those (both lists back to back) in one sitting.

Speaking of boob socks, I saw a real-life shirt with boob socks this afternoon near my office. Seriously, it must have had some elastic in the fabric, and there was a gather in the middle of the chest. It was still nowhere near as ridiculous as what you see in comic books, but all I could think about when I saw that woman was that she was wearing boob socks.

Someone would even wear one? They sound like they would be incredibly uncomfortable.

Welcome to the the world of women's fashions as designed to appeal towards attractiveness. (note: values of attractiveness may vary from individual to individual, your mileage may vary.) Seriously, we live in a culture that prizes appearance over comfort, especially in women's fashion.
