Multiple anything is weird and messed up

But can still lead to wacky hi-jinks

'Twould seem there may be merit to the 'ironic-nickname' hypothesis for where "bubbles" came from.

Tiny cute deadly things are more frightening than large uncute deadly things because of the incongruity.

Remember that. Watching Faye KO a Federal Agent and Dora 'Monstering' him outta the Apartment was fun.

So, now will we see Bubbles and Pintsize trading War Stories?

I thought it was a mistake, but apparently font is a legitimate alternative spelling of fount.

There really was a raccoon!

OH!

I totally thought that was Corpse Witch spying on them a few strips back.

Lilac seems to have come down with a bad case of Villain Decay.

This reminds me of Ghost in the Shell where the tachikomas converse about how humans trust them more than the human looking AIs because they don't feel like the tachikomas are trying to replace them. Perhaps that was the original thinking behind the Pintsize models until they realized if people thought they were too cute they might get killed in the manner that Bubbles alluded to and preferred big intimidating chassis despite the obvious perception people would have.

Its the Uncanny Valley in full effect.

As in "baptismal font" or "font of wisdom".

"Happens every day". "This frickin' town".

Bubbles doesn't seem to lie so while it was a bit of misdirection it was ultimately true.

Am I the only one hearing the Inspector Gadget theme song running through my head while Officer Lilac is chasing the raccoon?

Y'know, the worrying thing is the possibility that Renee wasn't being facetious. It really does happen all the time in Northampton. Then you really need to start talking about quantum comedic instabilities where, if something is potentially funny, it will happen, no matter how mathematically unlikely!

Mr Jacques, for me at least, is getting a fine selection of laugh out loud episodes lately, and without seriously compromising main progress of the tales.

I think that Raven explained this perfectly. Can't argue with science

missed opportunity for a robocop joke. "dead or alive, you are coming with me"

JimC · « **Reply #115 on:** 21 Oct 2016, 12:00 »

Crazy speculation of the week... It is in fact a AI/Robo Racoon (clearly the tech exists for an AI that size by Momo's original chassis) and its being used by an associate of either unidentified big fish or Corpse |Witch to distract Officer Lilac...

Kugai · « **Reply #116 on:** 21 Oct 2016, 13:54 »

An interesting theory but I think that that IS a Raccoon, so it's more likly hijinks ensued when Lilac fell out of the bin.

Zebediah · « **Reply #117 on:** 21 Oct 2016, 20:47 »

Let's split the difference. It's a cyborg raccoon. His name is Rocket.

I just want Raven and Emily to meet and build something together.

Of course, that might be the end of the Questionable Content universe (and maybe the beginning of Alice Grove?)

Law enforcement has raccoon problems in our universe as well.
