Good to see May and Winslow got things sorted.

So will we catch up with Clinton and the Secret Bakery crew, Coffee of Doom, or Union Robotics first few customers.

It was a trip getting halfway through this comic and pausing to briefly argue with myself about the likelihood of this being a canon strip before moving on to see more definitively guest-artist style.

Congratulations to Jeph, of course.

As for the poll, I wanna say Portal 2. The co-op section, where they have to learn to mesh their clashing personalities and learn to work together to solve puzzles under the abuse of an omnipotent voice that sounds, to their ears, disturbingly like spookybot.

It will be even more disturbing because they never actually met spookybot, but they will recognize the voice anyway.

I think it's for the best that Bubbles buys up the assam stock.  Something like that could fry Winslow's brain if he tries it.

Post by: BenRG on 28 Aug 2017, 00:12
You know, I'd really like today's guest comic to be adopted into canon. Not only because I'm a Faye/Bubbles shipper but because I'd really like more 'spirit quest' tea-induced hallucinations of truth (or at least consciously-suppressed thoughts and desires) and then see Bubbles trying to work out how much validity they have and what (if anything) she should do about it.

That said, seeing Faye's Ponysona (http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Ponysona) probably would have freaked her out in a big way.

Congrats, Jeph!  And an awesome job, Danielle Corsetto (http://www.stuckat32.com/), especially on Bubbles and Spookybot.  I didn't realize that wasn't drawn by Jeph until the last two frames.

Agreed but Danielle's art style has always been very similar to Jeph's in many ways.

Finally, let's not forget to say 'Congratulations' to Jeph. I wish you and your new spouse have many years of happiness together.

The video games listed in the poll... half of them I've never heard of, the other half I've never played.  I am, though, reminded of another comic's arc where someone (while clearly dreaming) found themselves in TES:Oblivion, along with another major character.  After a strip or two of 'this game isn't even multiplayer!', they split up.  I can easily envision Winslow and May in a similar situation in Skyrim.  Winslow, after his initial disbelief, would become resigned to making the best of the situation and start out following the main quest.  May... is May.  She'd be off like a shot, and by the time Winslow's meeting the Jarl for the first time, she's already being chased by angry NPCs and livestock from three or four holdings, and accidentally burned down Winslow's next quest location on the way.

Post by: Tova on 29 Aug 2017, 18:37
I don't believe there is a single lead character. It's an ensemble cast, with different characters taking the stage depending on what story Jeph wants to tell next.

I would still like to see Marten develop new goals in his life via some kind of epiphany, and begin the work to achieve them, but there are plenty of other good stories being told and I'm happy to wait.

Pretty much. Marten might have been the original character, but with the largest focus of the comic split between the apartment and Coffee of Doom, its obvious that the comic has a large ensemble cast. Which is really handy for a long running comic. Jeph can swap out characters for stories and have the freedom to develop them that doesn't require constant appearances from certain cast.

World Wide Ladies Robot Wrestling? It could work but never with Pintsize in control. No offence, Pinty, but I don't think that you've got the right candidates for the kind of female fighting that you'd want to see!

You know... Even if this doesn't work out as a wresting troupe, I think that they might be able to make this work as a Kick-Ass 2-style super-vigilante group! That said, I don't think that Northampton is quite ready for such a band of crusading heroes! :lol:

Prediction: Brun lent Pintsize the harpoon gun for reasons best left unexplored.

Maybe Punchbot is non-binary/agender/other? Maybe people just assume male gender because of the lack of curves on their chassis and Punchbot just doesn't bother to correct them when they do? Pintsize did start with "Ladies and whatever" and all of the others he was talking to have identified themselves as female, so....

We do know from early on that non-binary is one of the possible settings for AnthroPCs.

How does Punchbot do sexy 80's lady wrestling though? Chassis mod?

Or is Punchbot actually female?

We could have a second trans plotline...

I'm not even sure if all of the bots actually have a gender in the first place beyond convenient pronouns when dealing with humans.

We also have other examples of AI having unisex chassis such as the older plotline about Pintsize and his freakout about not realizing that his one date was also male

Well, Jeph's back and Claire... I don't know. Is anyone else thinking that there is something weird going on here? Claire is approaching Renee with an expression that suggests that she's looking for a hit of something decidedly illegal! Maybe that's just Claire (I don't think we've ever seen her buying baked goods from a family store before). It just seemed weirdly out-of-context. Maybe I don't get Claire as well as I thought I do.

Meanwhile, Brun is still subsisting on day-old goods and I'm pretty sure that can't be good for her, long-term. That said, her expression in panel 3 is hilarious: "Does... Does this mean I'm not the special one anymore?" Panel 4 is funny too; Brun seems to be wondering to herself if there is an upper limit of free day-old pastries she can eat that no-one told her about previously and maybe fretting that she'd transgressed some unspoken social boundary (again).

Well, at least Brun is being honest.

She literally wouldn't be Brun if she wasn't being honest.

Almost thought this was another guest strip - new look for Claire.

Good new look; Jeph seems to be getting a handle on how to draw her with shorter hair.

She likes that she gets them for free; she has no income.  And Claire wants them because they are half price; she is a grad student.

It's a complex equation and there's no obvious answer but I think that Claire is in the position today where she needs to work it out: Just when being polite to someone by listening to them talk (even though you have no interest whatsoever in the topic) become being condescending and rude? I'm not sure that Brun is the sort of person who needs to be soft-soaped like that, worse she has a very absolute definition of honest behaviour.

Of course, I might be guilty of being too cynical here. It's possible that Claire really is a trivia sponge and loves hearing people rattle on about their hobbies and interests.

Frankly, Brun comes across as sweet on a certain childish level in panels 4 and 5. Either that or she knows perfectly well that doing this will freak out Claire and this is direct revenge for humouring her!

Maybe I'm not cynical enough, but I didn't see any lying in Claire's statements.  Maybe I'm projecting because I would probably love to hear Brun talk about clocks too, because even though I'm not interested in clocks necessarily, hearing someone like Brun talk about their passion IS interesting.  Brun, of course, has probably heard the "no really it's okay keep going" line before from people who ARE just being patronizing, but IMO that's not what Claire is doing.

I too am happy to assume Claire is being honest unless there's a reason to believe otherwise. Brun obviously believes her by the last panel, too. So, I'm the other way around from BenRG, although maybe I'm just terribly naive.  :roll:

Yeah, I'm with the "Claire is being sincere" camp. Sort of.

I think she's not feigning interest. She's probably also not super into what Brun is talking about. But she's interested enough not to be annoyed or anything.

I often listen to what people find interesting, even if it's not my favourite subject in the world. A person genuinely passionate about something can *make* it interesting. Passion is contagious.

I also think Claire is being sincere - not because she's interested in clocks, but because she likes Brun and is willing to listen to her new friend talk about her hobby.

And I also think Claire is having to consciously and deliberately suppress her desire to pump Brun for information about where things stand between Brun and Clinton. Claire's being good and not meddling in her brother's business. But if Brun brings Clinton up on her own, Claire will jump at the chance to talk about it.

Not Northampton, but the Willard House & Clock Museum (http://willardhouse.org/) is in North Grafton, about 70 miles away. And the American Clock & Watch Museum (http://www.clockandwatchmuseum.org/) is in Bristol Connecticut, only 60 miles away.
