That's *not* a macchiatto. Those only contain a dollop of foam atop espresso. No milk. Starbucks has really screwed with too many perceptions.

Good for you, Guest Emily.

Rocketbutt is the Poochie of the QCverse.
(I know Jeph and everyone call it Buttrocket, but I prefer Rocketbutt and it's never been called either in-strip so there :parrot:)
Wow, early-early comic. And they're still talking.It's okay. He used ButtRocket to thaw himself out.
Poor Pintsize.
Less related: What is dord, and why did Jeph reply with "does" when I sent him an email containing only that word? I think we have a mystery on our hands.
b) Even if it is, this wouldn't be the first social circle (or the first millionth) to accept most of the foibles of everyone in it, and promptly eject those goobers who are really in-your-face with nonacceptance.

Rocketbutt, you'll always be/Home sweet home to meeeeeee...
Unless you can recreatva sonnet that follows both the terms of the title while fitting requirements of a 'country song.'
(Mention trucks, jeans, or tractors.)
Country music sonnet? Sounds like a challenge! Shakespearean, Petrarchan, Onegin, or Other?
[/url]
'Other.'
Try Cash.
I personally dislike every country singer that came after.
Jeez louise, Marten and Faye would be horrible pet owners
Today's strip sounds exactly like the (repeated) conversation I had with my wife when we first met. Only 2 differences... I had another reason to quit drinking, and there weren't any AnthroPC's in the freezer.
Jeez louise, Marten and Faye would be horrible pet owners
Is this news?
Fuckinh Pintsize barely survived, and he's a goshdanged robot.

Actually, I think working at the Secret Bakery would be just fine because bills need to be paid.
Having, basically, given up on the daily grind to pursue my dream of webcomicing, I can tell you that not treading water is ENORMOUSLY stressful. Given everything Faye has to deal with, I think something stable is in order.
Next comic: Pinterminator "DO. YOU. LIKE. PORN?" KABLAAM!
Underground robot fighting tournaments? Post Singularity, are these still a thing? Well, Underground, duh.
Underground robot fighting tournaments? Post Singularity, are these still a thing?
Okay maybe this is me or... I think that we can be sure that Jeph is reading this forum. Why? Because today's strip more-or-less summarises all the debates we've been having on the subject of Faye's new job. I take that as a tip-of-the-hat to us. It will be interesting to see where Jeph takes that thread.
No Marten, no. Faye working at The Secret Bakery would be a bad idea for so many reasons.

Given what we know about AIs in QC, I'm sure that the fighters are all volunteers who like it!

Of course, I do think she ought to explore options first. It's only been a few days, and Marten is giving her a chance (a chance a lot of people would not get). You certainly should try to make the most of it, when that happens. But you've got to be ready to do what you have to just to keep your head above water.
If you find a pace you can maintain (i.e. figure out how to float rest) treading water is exactly what you have to do until you figure out which direction you can swim in. It's no good picking the direction you want to go if it doesn't lead to the dry ground you want to stand on (or doesn't lead to dry ground at all).
I'm constantly challenged by the thought that I've made a terrible mistake, doing what I'm doing. I can't imagine trying to keep moving forward and battle addiction while trying to hold myself together in the face of abandonment issues and depression.
Pintsize is a laser!?
"BEEP. BEEP. NEGATIVE TEMPERATURE ERROR. PLEASE REBOOT."
I've never heard of anyone with a sexual kink featuring robot dinosaur coffee makers.

I'm struggling to think of a single one, to be honest.
Rule 34 obviously applies but in an interestingly different way: Look long enough and you will find someone who is sexually interested in anything, no matter how horrifying it may seem to nearly everyone else.You're thinking of Rule 36.
It isn't the same, though. As welder, she can work a stable job in an established business, and while she wouldn't be making art or murder-chassis, she can get paid a lot more than as barista, and might even be able to negotiate better terms. (I'm still a little disturbed over how easy she could get fired, without any kind of security or compensation or anything, and apparently she didn't get paid holidays as assistant manager. And it was only because Dora didn't file the paperwork right away that her healthcare still covered her - that's just horrible.) And it would be a job doing what she's good at - she might be good at making coffee, but her interaction with customers would be very out of place at any other place than CoD.
On another note: That one felt very classic - funny and serious at once, driving the plot forward, with a punchline provided by our favourite seabiscuit. Awesome!
Might we see DeathBot again? THE KILLBOT WITH NO INDOOR VOICE?

Thpeaking of thickening, can you imagine Faye and ... Whatzername, Renee? ... Working side by side, informing people things are on fire and comparing notes on Angus?

Renee is apparently a 'bizarro Faye double,' if I remember the original line. It'S not a direct quote, it wasn't specifically about Faye/Renee, but the Secret Bakery staff as a whole.
This could be very interesting, but it would invite me to wonder exactly how precise a personality clone Renee is, whether that goes all the way to drinking habits, because that would be a spot of friction. Until they hit that snag, though, I'd be LOVING it

A personality clone of a different race isn't "bizarro" (unless you're either racist or bizarro not racist.)
It's not bizarro-world, just alternate-universe (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1845). And Hannelore's doppelganger is obviously Fairy Girl (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1844).
Personally, I'd like to know more about neck-tattoo guy.
Fairly girl is Penelope's third personality. (Her second personality is Penelope)
Renee was not Faye's personality double. Padma was. Renee was Faye's physical double. Padma was closer to Faye's personality double.
The Bakery cast was a lot of the core cast all muddled together. Thinking about that group, I kind of don't see Faye working there. While that would definite bring more of the support cast back into focus, Elliot, Renee, and Hipster lumberjack aren't really anything and I'm not sure Jeph will want to draw all those baked goods.

Padma seems to imply that their personalities are at least somewhat similar in the final panel of strip 1859 (http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=1859). And the few times we do see Renee she seems to be kinda Faye-ish. I don't see Faye and Padma's personalities as being similar, either. To be blunt Padma is way nicer than Faye and easy-going. Faye's crass and hard to get along with even for people who like her.
I've never heard of anyone with a sexual kink featuring robot dinosaur coffee makers.
Actually, I was watching a video on YouTube last night where a seriously freaked-out woman was telling her colleague in some detail about all the human/dinosaur porn there is on the Internet.

I believe the exact quote concerned all of Secret Bakery.
It was from Marten, about how similar the two places were. If this is a racist statement, it's on Jeph's part.
Well I'll say this for Pintsize. He doesn't hold grudges.
I think that Pintsize is more perceptive and understands Faye a lot better than most humans sometimes.
