Wonder if this is a deliberate decision by JJ or if he forgot about that?

He and Faye talked about it.

I'd forgotten about Chaos Loaf. Damn, I AM getting old!

--- Quote from: BenRG on 08 Nov 2019, 08:47 ---Such an explanation would, of course, raise the spray to the status of 'fine art' with the automatically-assumed increase of fee by about a solid order of magnitude.

Ah yes, the least understood but most often encountered kind of artist. The one with what we shall delicately call the B.S. degree.

Was it an art deco grating or some older?

Save Union Robotics! What publicity stunts are needed?
1. Get Marigold's help to seriously upgrade the shop's on-line presence and SEO - 12 (34.3%)
=2. Free cosmetic upgrade consultation with Faye. "We'll make you unique!" - 5 (14.3%)
=2. See if they can get a charity gig doing zero-profit repair work for low-income synthetics & then persuade clients to purchase optional extras - 5 (14.3%)
=4. Get Roko, Punchbot, Chimevera and other satisfied customers to do on-line endorsements - 4 (11.4%)
=4. Live-stream major rebuilds (not only would there be an audience, I'm sure synthetics would volunteer to be the subject!) - 4 (11.4%)
6. Ask Crushbot or the Cloaked Emu to hang out outside the shop; the customers will soon be streaming in! - 2 (5.7%)
=7. Take May up on her 'dancing with a sandwich board whilst handing out fliers' idea - 1 (2.9%)
=7. "Say 'Bubbles Sent Me' and you get a FREE Sam Bean original spray!" - 1 (2.9%)
=7. Other (please specify in comments) - 1 (2.9%)
Well, a clear and interesting winner this week! Interesting because, whilst I agree it's the most sensible option (and in-universe pretty intuitive; good Google, Ask and other ranking equals greater interest when you're dealing with electronic customers), I would argue that it's the least sustainable as a plot arc. One or two strips talking to Marigold plus possibly one or two others for wisecracks about the whole thing and then that's it beyond the Wiki noting that Marigold is the webmaster of 'unionrobotics-repairs.biz'.
Contrast that with, say the option about May being a singing and dancing publicist. You could literally have a strip a week of the latest weirdo (or member of the cast) who approaches May with some 'witty' observation!
Ah well, no-one ever said these things were scientific!

No. Plainly meant to keep stuff out of the ventilation system, period.
'Functionalism', if anything.
