alc40:
So the last 2 comics have mentioned an Arthur off-screen, but we've previously only seen Nelson (the small pink AI). I was thinking that Melon's orange roommate must also work or volunteer at the organization, but when I went looking I found that the leader of Faye's support group was also named Arthur. So now I'm kind of curious which Arthur works there, or if he's someone else entirely.

Good question. Maybe Jeph meant Nelson?
EDIT: typo fix and time for bed.

How is "the kid" going to do the paperwork while Beep's getting pens if he doesn't have a pen? :psyduck:
BenRG:
Beepatrice doesn't know either! She's making this up as she goes along! Stress and embarrassment doing their dark work!

She avoids managerial work but is more than happy to perform tasks like go out to buy stationary. I can only assume that some position swapping will come sooner or later.

--- Quote from: Tova on 16 Feb 2020, 00:04 ---Childhood obesity is reaching a point of public health crisis and presumably only exacerbating the issues facing the US healthcare system. But let's by all means have a discussion of breakfast cereals aimed at children consisting of roughly 50% sugar. :psyduck:

The poll was an exercise in absurdism.

Fair enough. Sorry if I came across as cranky at you. I'm definitely cranky at the companies that produce this stuff masquerading as breakfast cereal. Among other such companies. I did work in the US for a couple of months at one time, and one of my enduring memories was how you had to go out of you way to find decent bread not stuffed with sugar. It drove me crazy.
--- Quote from: BenRG on 16 Feb 2020, 00:42 ---As a type-2 diabetic, finding a breakfast cereal that is not essentially toxic for me is a struggle and I have to actually travel several miles to find a retailer that sells low(er) sugar options.

That sucks. You have my sympathies.

I figured the 'vegetable based cereal' option was clue enough to it being absurdist. Perhaps I should have included 'pop based on vegetables' to drive the point home.
