Tomorrow's comic will be the end of an era. Regular strips will resume on Tuesday.
So that's it? He's just gone?Be kind to your fine-feathered friends.
*breaks out the champagne*
One less cloaca-head spouting abuse at the world.
far less, well...terrible. (I mean, if you don't count the skulls and the almost certain genocide. ...)
This does seem a bit like banger racing in Ferraris, given what we know about the cost of chassies.
Beside's, Momo's chassis was a fancy near-lifelike custom Japanese model. I'm sure the models we see fighting are more like Fords and Chevies than Ferraris.
Do robots have "junk", and if so, why?

No, they don't have 'junk', at least those sorts of chassis don't. You've just learned something very disturbing about the level of anger in Faye.

You're welcome. :)
Getting a thrill out of violence doesn't require anger.
No more comics about smooching, just comics about ROBOT FIGHT from now on forever.
Since Bubbles has a different text font in her speech..uh..bubbles, than the other robots/AIs, I keep reading her voice as sort of 1980's/early 90's computer vocalization (like Joshua from War Games, only more feminine).

I'm thinking now of the old Benny Hill sketch of two professional wrestlers going at it in the ring, only the conversation ranges from "How's the wife and kids, Harry?" to "Come over Thursday for tea, then?" "Yes, that sounds lovely."
It's nothing personal
That's fucking awful, dude.
Is there some connection between robots/ anthropcs and Cronenberg? The only other time I remember someone saying 'Cronenbergian' in QC it was Pintsize with his thumb-limbs.
working out the behind the scenes mechanics of your universe even if you never display them...but even if he doesn't show the details, the fragments he does show us will consequently have a depth and consistency that will make it all look more real.
Roh Ro.
I suspect Bubbles could do with a therapist - or a friend. Jeph's pretty good at characterisation, and the few times I've seen someone say something like that, something pretty darned horrific had happened to cause it.
COMIC
So. Marten just had another one of those brief moments of clarity where he realizes how profoundly weird his life is.
I can't confirm or deny it, but the comic is numbered 2030, rather that the 2020 it should be.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.
[...] pantera bread
:laugh: :lol: i am sort of hoping pantera bread becomes a character's shirt design some time this year!

3020.
And I applaud Jeph for mentally researching the background behind sentient AI fighters.Quote from: Jephworking out the behind the scenes mechanics of your universe even if you never display them

The new comic is quite good and maybe the '2030' is a reference to look back at 2030 and see how it is a bit similar ; maybe Faye will hear from Angus soon, I am not sure who in New york could fully appreciate his nuances. looking forward to the possible visit from Angus and he can attend one of the matches!!
No concerns about the fact that half the rent now comes from dubious sources?

He might come round to that, but actually it's Faye's problem, not his.
It's not like he's receiving stolen goods.
If it is exposed that Faye's rent is coming from illegal sources, the landlord would be held responsible for not carrying out reasonable checks to verify that he was not receiving 'immoral earnings'.Does that apply to earnings from any crime, or just prostitution?

That may be exactly the idea. Some brothels are run as "hotels" for the prostitutes, who just happen to use it as their workplace as well. That way you punish the pimp/madam.Just so. I recall reading that landlords can, or at least could, be prosecuted for "keeping a disorderly house (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disorderly_house)", which usually meant allowing their building to be used as a brothel. But paying the rent with money earned in a shady manner outside the house? I don't know.
Anyway we know Marten is not above insurance fraud.
He's touched so many lives, and I think he's rubbed off a little on each of them.
EDIT: Oh, and Tai's friend. Was her name Delilah?
We haven't seen the landlord since they signed for the place.
It's interesting that we've never seen Marten's landlord, or any apartment manager/maintenance person the apartment might have. You'd think Pintsize's shenanigans would have led to at least one instance of someone showing up to paint a wall, fix a broken door, etc.
I actually think that's the broker, so SCW may still be correct.I thought that at first too, but the subsequent comics solidified it as the landlord, for me, anyway.
