jheartney:
Hanners is the first character in the comic to lawyer up with Roko. Smart gal. Faye and Bubbles should be glad they aren't in the slammer.
I have to wonder about what Jeph is up to bringing Roko back after that storyline ended. Will this comic add "Wacky AI Police Procedural" to its genre list? (We already have "Slacker Soap Opera," "Fun with Robots," "Slackers in Orbit," "Rom-Com with Dom Mom," "Alcohol Dependency Drama," "AI Fight Club," and "Revenge of the Deux Ex Machina," plus others I've probably forgotten.)

It used to be that you would have to collect six tokens from cereal boxes and then send them to the police department and they would send you a nice shiny badge, viola, you're now a police officer.
Now you have to feature in a Police Academy movie. *Shudders*
Tova:
I was reminded of this passage.
--- Quote ---“I’m a private detective.”
“Oh?” said Kate in surprise, and then looked puzzled.
“Does that bother you?”
“It’s just that I have a friend who plays the double bass.”
“I see,” said Dirk.
“Whenever people meet him and he’s struggling around with it, they all say the same thing, and it drives him crazy. They all say, ‘I bet you wished you played the piccolo.’ Nobody ever works out that that’s what everybody else says. I was just trying to work out if there was something that everybody would always say to a private detective so that I could avoid saying it.”
“No. What happens is that everybody looks very shifty for a moment, and you got that very well.”
--- End quote ---
So, what am I saying? As a double bass player, I will leap to Roko's defense and suggest that she probably didn't provoke that reaction because she is "pathologically un-subtle."
