Method of Madness:
Actuator?
TheEvilDog:
A play on actuary.
An Actuary is someone that analyses data and works with statistics, using mathematical skill to assess or predict the probability of an event happening and its financial consequences. The decisions of actuaries can affect thousands of people so it is a well-paid job, with a lot of responsibility.
Is it cold in here?:
Bubbles's problems are unresolved. She has to get a job, rebuild her life, and find a way to deal with her anger at Corpse Witch. She is off to a good start on the last of those but it will take years if her psychology is like ours.
Eminence Gris reminds me of a quote.
--- Quote from: Captain Kirk ---Above all else, a god needs compassion!

(And don't you wish you could have heard that addressed to Q in Patrick Stewart's resonant voice?)
It's noteworthy that Robot Jail is "horrible" and that Corpse Witch eagerly chose it in preference to what Albino Architeuthis was doing to her. A slap on the face to get someone's attention wouldn't have that effect.

Almost used "Actuary" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actuary) for the legal role, but the technical (literally, technical) seemed more appropriate. :)

It really DOES feel like Jeph decided 'running long, time to wrap this up' and wrote this strip.
Huh.
Well, hopefully next bit will be better....
