WCDT Strips 3411 to 3415 (6th to 10th February 2017)
miados:
geeze for some reason todays comic has made me think that creepy bot is hot and i dont know why.
TV4Fun:
Wow, seriously? This latest comic wraps everything up so neatly, it seems almost self-aware of how Deux ex Machina/God Mode Sue it is. This better be setting up for something bigger. Otherwise, Jeph just set up this whole bubble plot only to wrap it up in the most trite way possible. I mean really, why bother creating this dilemma if you're not going to go to the effort to resolve it without cheating? I really hope there is something more to this.
Perfectly Reasonable:
"A cube of compressed scrap metal was removed from the intersection of 5th and Anderson, where it had been obstructing traffic. Authorities suspect another pointless student prank."
Steve puts down the paper and pours more milk on his cereal.
That's more like how I wish this had been handled. I will be pleased if SpookyButt returns to the shadows, never to be seen again.
Now I like seeing more of Jeph's idea of AI society. But there is a story bending power imbalance in having the likes of SpookyButt around. Like the days of Greek myth when gods interfered with the lives of humans on a regular basis. Want more of Spooky? Be careful what you wish for.
---------------------------------------------------------------
And the new comments make no sense, which means "a new comic has been posted -- you may want to review your post."
Ok, one more appearance by Spookybutt. Then into the shadows.
So has Punchbot had a day job as a CPA all this time? Dang, the hobbies some folks have!

Justice systems in which the accused have a choice of confession or torture are generally considered not good things.

It is, however, a solid basis for a religion.

Only by some. And even in those of whom it is usually associated, the belief is not universal.
