Edit: Whoops, beaten to it by osaka.

And yeah, I take back my call for a time-jump until we see Emily and Clinton's disastrous date.

Oh, it's rather telling about Pintsize's home life, all right, or at least the life he gives his roommates. There's a reason he's playing Blanche but giving Stanley's line ("We've had this date from the beginning!" A Streetcar Named Desire, Tennessee Williams) I mean, for heaven's sake, Pintsize actually got Marten to loom. That takes some doing, and we all know how short Faye's fuse is even when she isn't going cold turkey.

Questionable Content: the comic that occasionally reaches for links with fine literature but never forgets its roots in fart jokes.

swapna:
Probably he expects to be turned into a toaster... or something ;)
And I love how he eats the WD-40. Pintsize-Jokes are back!

Also, re: time jump: I agree, it's time. i'd rather have the Faye/Dora talk in a few weeks comic-time anyway when stuff isn't that raw any more and Faye has found a job which gives both a different perspective (Dora isn't responsible for taking away her livelihood any more) and Dora, too - Faye hasn't been her employee for a while by then. I wonder if they could work as friends without the Coffee of Doom - they don't seem like they'd hang together without working together. Their personalities and interests are too different.

Perfectly Reasonable:
On making AIs--

My head canon is that it is a very computationally expensive process. Way worse than minting bit coins. If it were simple and easy, once we had a competent and compliant AI it would be copied endlessly and it would be in -everything-. Cigarette lighters. Toothbrushes. Instead every AI is a distinct individual with idiosyncratic quirks.

Also Rule of Funny.

Gnomeybum:
I wonder what laws there are regarding the permanent disassembling of anthro-PCs. Seeing as the singularity hit, and there have been efforts made to introduce civil rights for robots, wouldn't it be considered straight-up murder at this stage, if Faye really did have ill intentions?

Wow! Be safe, Jeph! It looks like trying to drive home today may have very nearly been the last mistake that he ever made!

--- End quote ---

Wow, that sounded pretty harrowing, and those photos are pretty crazy.  I hope Jeph decides to treat himself to a hotel tonight instead of trying to drive straight home.  And that's my concern for his safety talking, not the comic.
