WCDT Strips 3411 to 3415 (6th to 10th February 2017)
blt:
On one hand I wish this plot had gone on for much longer to bring it to a satisfying conclusion.
But every day this week I find myself thinking Jeph should have ended this trainwreck the strip prior. Which is really disappointing because I love stuff about Bubbles.
BenRG:
Well, my respect for Roko, already high for being able to retain a serious demeanour around the 24/7 Vaudeville act that is the QC gang, gets higher. She's going to look a gift horse in the mouth if that horse doesn't make any kind of logical sense and behaves in a way that makes her feel a tool in another being's hand. She'll take the confession because it means a villain off of the streets but it leaves open the possibility that there is an even worse Black Hat is on the streets; after all, what else could have intimidated Corpse Witch into effectively asking for shelter in Robot Jail?
I'm not sure how she'll react to Bubbles and Faye's explanation of what they thinks Spookybot is. I've got the feeling that she's going to end up becoming a robotic Fox Mulder, ruining her career by trying to prove the existence of an AI bogeyman that very few beings seriously believes exists and those that know better are generally too terrified to admit that it exists.

It is fundamentally impossible for someone not to look better in uniform. It's a function of 'neat and well-maintained'.

This is an interpretation of that strip that seems now to have been debunked by in-strip canon.

So, when you saw that today's strip was continuing this arc, was your face like Skullkid's at minute 03:20?

"Trapped", Basilisk said. And it's pretty straightforward to trap someone in a place they were already in.

And frankly, given that CW's confession came under duress, any conviction obtained with it is probably invalid. (Not that that ever stopped the conviction of small fry like CW.)
--- End quote ---
As others have pointed out, a confession illegally obtained under duress will stand if the defendant is too scared to challenge it, so it's academic.

Bubbles presumably crushed the edges of the can and its lid together, locking the lid in place. I'm still surprised that Basilisk would fit in a standard-sized dustbin in the first place. She must be very flexible. I'm pretty small, and I'm not sure that I could scrunch up enough.
