TRVA123:
Why is everyone so excited for Faye to get another barista job? I mean, meh? There's nothing wrong with that line of work, but I don't think Faye was ever super into it.
She should go to the art gallery, ask for an advance, and then make something. She could probably live comfortably on a comission a month.

I really doubt that, barring deliberate joke on Jeph's part- the rationale behind not hiring AIs had at least something to do with allowing humans to work at least SOME jobs while AIs performed the ones only AI could do. Otherwise the AIs would be responsible for a lot of human suffering from unemployment and homelessness, and I really doubt they'd be okay with causing such a state of affairs. In addition, Faye would almost certainly not be qualified for any job specific to AI, and THAT would be the objection rather than her being human. Again, barring a deliberate joke, and I would expect that to be retracted in the next panel or comic.
Kiloku:
To read the early comic or not to read, that is the question.
I feel so damn conflicted :psyduck:

Def think it's food in her vomit, not pills. To many irregular shapes.

I don't know if people *want* her to get a job in another coffee shop it's just that she has shown talent for two things. Being snarky and welding. The only work experience she's shown has been the Coffee of Doom. As far as going to an art gallery and asking for money... I don't see that working. At all. There's a reason 'starving artists' are a thing. She had that one job literally fall into her lap and she could barely be bothered to do anything about it. That doesn't happen to most artists, who tend to spend years working at low paying jobs before selling anything.
Then again, this is a world where Sven can churn out a terrible song and get paid tons of money, and Jimbo makes a comfortable living writting about steampunk werewolf princesses...
