WCDT Strips 3426-3430 (27 February - 3 March 2017)
BenRG:
I might be massively over-interpreting today's strip but I wonder if Jeph is planning to ring in some changes and explore some of what an AI's life is like through the eyes of Roko Basilisk. It must be tough being a cop, as Hannelore unintentionally proves in today's strip. Being an AI (therefore likely having perfect recall and being perceived as being an inflexible law-enforcement machine) can only make a difficult job more difficult.
Yeah, and then there's the issue all cops have where people interpret small talk as an investigation! :-P
I'm trying to work out what Roko's nervous smile in panel 2 might mean. She's definitely seen Bubbles' chair but it's hard to tell what she's thinking. I suspect that she's nervous about being in a place where someone who, just very recently was a suspect, is clearly a valued customer and maybe even a friend.
On second thoughts; she's reacting in disbelief about 'unicorns'. It's definitely that. I mean, Roko always sees kitsunes when she sniffs tea!
Oh, BTW, unless the AI have their own police organisation, Roko's badge should look something like this:
shanejayell:
One also wonders what she's HEARD about COD, the passive aggressive insult coffee shop. Could be understandably wary....
BenRG:
I think that Hannelore has suddenly realised that hallucinogenic tea could technically be viewed as an illegal substance or at least potentially so. Is this an idle inquiry or is this a vice bust?
oeoek:
The slight smirk of officer Baselisk in panel 2 has me grinning; somehow the humour of a giant battle-bot sniffing tea and seeing unicorns in her spare time hit me hard this time.

*LOL*
Best description of that subplot yet....
:-D

Should be an easy pitch to the tv networks; I'd watch that... (and probably be deeply disappointed by the watered down clean version they would make of it).

She wants tea.
