Oddly enough, I'm against the time jump this time for one reason: We've got something (or even possibly two somethings, depending on how Jeph wants to deal with them) to tie off.
Firstly, I really think that we will see Faye's first night at the Support Group, if only to set up that set of characters for later use.
Secondly, with the set-up, I'd really like some degree of closure with whether Dora is going to mend fences with Faye quickly or if we're going to have to deal with a prolonged and strained silence between them.
Shaggy doesn't drive though. But...if Claire's Daphne Marten has to be Fred. Or Claire has to be Velma(She is kinda a amalgam of both). But then what are Faye and Steve going to do? My fanfiction is filled with holes!Faye is clearly the curmudgeonly "obvious" suspect that turns out to have been the feds/cops/real ghost under cover all along and Steve can be Victim#1.
Shaggy doesn't drive though.

So I picked "Robot apocalypse" in the poll, not realizing it would be Pintsize's personal apocalypse.
I seem to recall a strip way, way back about anthroPCs huffing WD40.
What's the WD40 for? (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=35) and Clean Pipes (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=246).I'm feeling really dumb and I still don't get why Pintsize is about to get whacked by Faye.
I'm feeling really dumb and I still don't get why Pintsize is about to get whacked by Faye.
I kinda want to see Faye make a new chassis for Pintsize. Could be interesting.
Faye developing a career building custom AnthroPC bodies would make for an interesting plotline, but we've seen no indication she knows anything about electronics. On the other hand Raven might be able to handle that end, but I have a hard time imagining Faye working with Raven as just a duo without Raven driving her crazy sooner or later.

Eight-ish months between 1310 and 1311, according to April's timeline (http://i.imgur.com/W769ehM.png).
Where DO baby anthroPC's come from, anyway? Cloned off a master AI, with a few randomized parameters to start them with a unique personality? Grown into sentience from a basic neural net? Programmed as a custom personality by a master roboticist? Or,

However they're made, if Faye started making Dino-Chassis for them, the comic could turn Jurassic Park.

The mechanics of this are unknown. I'd guess that the AI are either pseudo-randomly generated or designed by someone competent who us unlikely to screw it up or violate ethics, most likely the AI overmind.

I think it's generally assumed the QC era is post-singularity.
So it's possible that anthro-PCs understand how they are made, but humans don't.
what is the singularity?
what is the singularity?My definition is a point in time when AI becomes self-sufficient and intellectually superior to humans, in effect making humans obsolete. Depending on the AI agenda, humans might be exterminated, or kept as favored pets. This is not necessarily a Bad Thing, as humans have proven themselves to be incapable of running the world in a peaceful and sustainable manner.
Well, Faye should not do any welding in their apartment, so she needs somewhere to work. My suggestion: Use the band's practice space (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1985). Also, there might be interesting synergies between music and welding, perhaps leading to a future performance show.
So? "Fire Hazard" is Faye's middle name!
what is the singularity?
"The Singularity" in terms of computer science is the point where artificial intelligences designed by other artificial intelligences without human intervention are more sophisticated and efficient than their human-created equivalents. It is at that point that AIs would be considered a separate species with a separate existence and place in the global ecosystem of intelligence from humans.
So? "Fire Hazard" is Faye's middle name!
Are you sure? I thought it was 'Pugnacious-Peach'!

It would explain why the Singularity has occurred so quickly even though Dr E-C's first significant breakthroughs only happened about two decades previously (based on what Clinton said and the fact that young Hannelore named at least two of the AIs associated with the space station) if there was a degree of 'evolution' with each new iteration of AIs. Very quickly, 'biologically' generated AI algorithms would have surpassed human-coded ones for sophistication and efficiency.You've nerd sniped me, here. Experts in the field of AI have, for the most part, estimated that the period between the rise of AI on par with humans and the rise of superintelligent AI will be quite small, indeed. Even if it's just mixing and matching better and better algorithms, the ability of AIs will increase. Heck, maybe the most intelligent of AIs collude to breed their code together in new and fantastic forms.

i'm with you. I didn't know there was a word for that.
Poor little guy. I find it sad (and rather telling about his home life) that his first thought is destruction, rather than ascension. Maybe she was going to build him a new chassis?
Edit: Whoops, beaten to it by osaka.
And yeah, I take back my call for a time-jump until we see Emily and Clinton's disastrous date.

Wow, that sounded pretty harrowing, and those photos are pretty crazy. I hope Jeph decides to treat himself to a hotel tonight instead of trying to drive straight home. And that's my concern for his safety talking, not the comic.
Couldn't both talk and reach the same conclusion?
Anyway, comic's up. Marigold appears to be borrowing Claire's facial expressions in panels 3 and 5.
But the real question on my mind is... who will make the traditional banana smoothie?
And I imagine Penelope and Cosette weren't nearly as bummed out as the others.

I can see it now, Faye builds station a chassis so he can hang out with Hannalor; Faye takes the 4 mill from the deal, and goes full Count of Monty Christo on Dora. In the end, having driven Dora to ruin, and putting CoD out of business, Faye personally runs the bulldozer that levels the building as Dora watches on, and once the lot is cleared, Faye turns it into a parking place for her brand new Elio.

I think some definitions of the "Singularity" (such as SF writer Charles Stross's) envision a so-called "rapture of the nerds," wherein human consciousness and machine consciousness converge so that we can upload ourselves into "the cloud."

Oh, it's rather telling about Pintsize's home life, all right, or at least the life he gives his roommates. There's a reason he's playing Blanche but giving Stanley's line ("We've had this date from the beginning!" A Streetcar Named Desire, Tennessee Williams)Raoul! Long time no see! I'm not sure how far the reference to A Streetcar Named Desire works though. That line precedes Stanley's rape of Blanche.
And then BC continues: "I like your style. Let's do lunch. I have a business proposal for you."

Pintsize huffing WD-40... That's a real call-back, and he's only made himself more inflammable, which could be dangerous around Faye, even without the cutting torch. But how does he get his fix without pressing the button on top of the can?
Good. No timeskip. I'm firmly in that camp, because I think that there's plenty of story to be told. I'm not sure we need to *see* the support group, but maybe we get to. But I'm very interested in Faye trying to keep herself busy outside of that, and also see development.
Did Dale end up moving in with Marigold? I forget how that diversion ended... Maybe it's going to come up right now?
It's been established that Marigold is selfish and self centered.

I thought the same thing, and now I can't find other strips where they're standing side-by-side for comparison.
Platform shoes let Hanners stay that much further away from dirt!
"This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship."
At this point I think it's mostly Hanners doing the giving, being a very good friend to Faye. Faye is lucky to have such a good pair of friends as Marten and Hannelore. Right now they're what's keeping her alive and viable. If she makes it through, she'll owe both of them a lot.
Now, am I the only one who thinks that everyone at the group is going to think that poor Hanners is the one who wants to enrol? She looks more the sort, compared to Faye!Interesting thought, with possibly hilarious consequences. I guess the attendees will be a bit concerned about the crowbar.
It seems like Faye has been reaching out to Hannelore a lot lately
Jimbo is a possibility, although he seems not to have a drinking problem. He just drinks.
Aww, Hanners is so sweet!
"I used to be an alcoholic like you, until I took a crowbar to the knee."
*skyrim-shot*
Isn't a crowbar more a tool for breaking into the liquor store?

It helps that Hanners is unattached. There's nothing for Faye to be envious about (remembering that the loss of Angus is among her current troubles), it means that Hannelore has more time available for Faye, and because Hanners is not ready for a sexual relationship with anyone (and may never be) she is generally willing to devote more energy than most to being a good friend to everybody. Plus she already has a good track record in being fairy godmother to most of the QC cast.

Maybe I'm looking at this from the wrong angle, but I think it has more to do with the fact that Hanners is the anti-Faye. Faye's typically snarky, defensive and prickly, but when things get difficult she shuts down (or goes for the bottle). Hanners is patient, sometimes kind to a fault and borders on timid, but when things get difficult -- or when Faye gets difficult -- she doesn't put up with people's shit. I think Faye respects (and kinda needs) someone who can not only go toe-to-toe with her, but whose friendship and motives she trusts.

A thought has just occurred to me. What will Sam's reaction be when she arrives at CoD and finds out that Faye has been fired?
I just want Sam to meet Claire so she can have another big sister to hang out with.
Although Faye lets Sam make swords, so Claire is already at a disadvantage in the "cool older sister" competition.
She's ALREADY an older sister, and not a cool one, especially, at least not to Clinton.
All frogs, in my mind, have french accents. It's like, a thing
Excuse me, but there's a Michigan J. Frog here to see you.
Hey, it's not Claire's fault she has a dorky little brother!

I've been waiting for Jeph to get to this part of the story since the newspaper article! This is kind of exciting. :-D
I wonder if Jeph will have whacky characters in the group, or if he'll take more of a serious approach to it. Probably a hybrid of the two, based on his experiences.
Anyway, the whole alias thing caught me by surprise. I know Faye is skeptical about the group, but Hanners isn't! Maybe she just wants to feel incognito? I wonder how this will play out; if any characters revealed in the group end up being "full time" cast members, they'll likely have some qualms with Jane suddenly not being 'Jane' anymore. Not to mention the baroness' name...
Is Arthur just a walk-on character, or is he another red haired guy like Angus there in the strip to freak Fay out once she take time to notice?
She's just not very good at coming up with aliases.

PLOT TWIST Arthur turns out out to be Angus' long lost brother.
Is Arthur just a walk-on character, or is he another red haired guy like Angus there in the strip to freak Fay out once she take time to notice?
He actually is Angus, playing the greatest role of his life: that of an Angus lookalike whose slight resemblance to Faye's old boyfriend will unnerve her a bit, even as his group therapy (and, later, one-on-one) sessions help her to heal. Even though their relationship is, of course, that of therapist and patient, he will nonetheless use his unholy ACTING. TALENT. to get close enough to Faye that she finally opens up and realizes that maybe, just maybe, she can trust another man again.
And then he'll break her heart the way that she broke his.
Hanners probably parked the crowbar by the entrance, in order not to look too conspicuous.
Regarding Hanners' pseudonym: Any clue?
:mrgreen: Somehow, Arthur reminds me of Clinton. Hopefully, he is less creepy. Arthur might be a recurring character (and a prime target for shippers), we just do not know yet. Also, what is his background?

Red haired? Are you color Blind, that guy's a blond. Maybe a honeywheat blond in comparison to Hannelore's more platinum shade, but still a blond.

Panel 1: (Extreme close up of Faye's sad, ashamed eyes)
Panel 2: (slight zoom-out to full face)
FAYE: "Fuck. I... I don't even know where to start."
OTHER PERSON: (speech bubble from off the side of the panel) "Take your time; there's no rush."
Panel 3: (Faye is sitting in a simple metal-framed deckchair in a room)
FAYE: "My... My name... My name is Faye Whitaker and... and..."
Panel 4: (Wide angle; Faye is sitting in an arc of chairs with serious and sympathetic people sitting around her, applauding; Faye is covering her face with her hands; there are 'AA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholics_Anonymous)' posters on the wall behind her).
FAYE: "... and... and I'm an alcoholic."
I'm thinking either an existing character (and I'm still hoping for Mrs Augustus) or a new character.

I like this possinility, but I also really like the idea of Claire being at an LGBTQ support group across the hall, because I like the confusion it would cause Faye. It might be difficult to do that without coming off as transphobic on Faye's part, so I understand why Jeph might not go that route, but it would be interesting.
Claire's presence at an LGBTQ group wouldn't necessarily mean she was trans*.
Can they get addicted to things?
He would have to go in the creeps's group anyway.
