Thank you Jeph and BenRG for saving my daily shot of QC !
As for Bubbles failure to see how shit would improve the situation: EVERYTHING feel better after a good bowel movement...
BenRG:
If I was asked to say what I thought today's strip was about it's this: It's about Roko's relationship with SpookyBot (isn't this the first time that they've been named in canon?). You see, I'm thinking that Roko is genuinely scared of SpookyBot and the way she hides behind Bubbles in panel 5 proves it, in my view.
I suppose I can get that. I mean, how happy would you or I be if the local equivalent of Loki or Q decided that we were interesting or funny enough to spend time playing with our lives? I know that I wouldn't like it at all! I really think that a mortal's life isn't intended to sustain the interest or attention of whatever your universe's trickster god turns out to be without considerable damage. Perhaps this is also another indicator that Roko is the 'everyman' for this phase of Questionable Content - our surrogate through whose eyes we see and understand this fictional universe because her perspective is not different from ours.
I do think that Bubbles believes that she has a handle on SpookyBot and maybe that sense of understanding makes them less an unknowable mystery. To Bubbles, SpookyBot is just a very, very powerful and intellectually different AI but, in their ultimate essence, not that different from her. Would that make her the AI equivalent of a Humanist?
No, I'm not expecting SpookyBot to jump out at any point. Be they Q, Loki, Coyote or whatever, they're never there when you expect them to be! That's all part of the mystique of the role!

No QC today? Is JJ alright?

I think Corpse Witch took one out of a client (with permission, no less) to show Fay.

3008, when Fay applied for a job with Corpse Witch.

Presumable the site problems during the morning prevented Jeph from posting at his regular time. A strip for today has been posted on Patreon.
