WCDT Strips 3176 to 3180 (14 - 18 March 2016)
Method of Madness:
I'm pretty sure we wouldn't be judging Corpsie so hard for this strip if it were just this strip. Her manipulation of Bubbles plus this, though? Judging is fair game, I'd say.
jwhouk:
Another thought: Bubbles may have a whole bunch of her share of money socked away, unspent, that she got from working at the Fight Club - along with any VA benefits she may get since her discharge from the military.
She might be able to simply buy CW out, open an AI repair shop, and have Faye help her out.
Just a thought as swords fall and KY Jelly flies...
Omega Entity:
I think it'd have to be an obscene amount of money for CW to walk away, especially if her returns are as good as they seem to be. It doesn't appear that the fighters pay for their own repairs, or at least we've never seen them do it - which means that those costs are quite possibly easily absorbed by the club itself.
Neko_Ali:
At least some of the fighters seem to live at the rink themselves, outside of Bubbles. Or at least they spend a bunch of their free time just hanging out there when not working. Which seems kind of unlikely... I suspect Bubbles isn't the only one that Corpse Witch uses her 'Humans will never really understand us/will fear us' trick on. I'm sure of course she charges an entirely reasonable fee to provide these poor, downtrodden AI with a place to recharge and store what meager belongings they possess, and only charges them a nominal fee for repairs from the damage they suffer during their fights. All the while keeping the entirely large profits made from the betting on the matches...
No, I'm seriously thinking CW is running a racket here on those 'poor downtrodden' robots she's 'helping'. The whole 'I provide a place for AI who are having trouble making it in the world' is a nice sounding cover story to make it seem like she's doing a kindness. But recent interactions with Bubbles and Faye really make it seem like she's just here to profit of making robots fight one another, while keeping a pretty tight reign on them. Something that was a lot easier to do before an outside force (Faye) started disrupting things. I don't think today's comic was Corpse Witch worried about profit. I think it was a subtle message and warning to Faye not to step out of line any more.
JJCalem:
Honestly before this strip I was doing a decent job at giving Corpse Witch the benefit of the doubt, but now I am convinced that she is selfish and only cares about the fighting ring and profiting from it.
