Okay, as no-one else has done it, I guess I've got to step up.

A spontaneous poll: What consequences might Claire's new job bring? Oddly enough, I think that all of the suggestions I make are probable in different degrees but, if I had to choose one, it would be that Marten starts hanging out at CoD again. It's just a feeling I have that Jeph wants to rediscover some of the old magic.

What do you all think?

oddtail · « **Reply #1 on:** 18 Oct 2021, 02:18 »

There are so many jokes I want to make when "thanks for the tip" was said in the same conversation that mentions blowjobs.

But I am better than that. I think.

Ha! You know, it's been so long I kinda forgot Dora was Marten's ex?

John Allenson · « **Reply #5 on:** 18 Oct 2021, 08:08 »

Boundaries!

I think that not only Martin but also Elliot will start hanging out at CoD more often.
I miss Martin interacting with his male friends and he did used to have interactions with Elliot.

Mavadotar · « **Reply #6 on:** 18 Oct 2021, 08:45 »

Dora yes!

..I can't be the only DBZA fan on here, can I?

Mr_Rose · « **Reply #7 on:** 18 Oct 2021, 13:56 »

I voted Destiny, but only because I want to see Jeph draw power armour.

notStanley · « **Reply #8 on:** 18 Oct 2021, 14:03 »

Yeah, while knowing what your problems are is the first step, the next of actually making progress can be quite difficult.

"Other":
CONFLICT! One obsessive micro-manager (Hannelore) clashes with another (Claire) over the right way to do everything in the shop...

Tova · « **Reply #10 on:** 18 Oct 2021, 17:58 »

I'm reading all of these in the voice of the Clone Wars opening narrator, just so you all know.

Awww. Elliot and Clinton are SO CUTE.

Today's comic reminds me of this:

Please don't start a beverage flame war. I drink all these drinks and more, so no judgement from me.

BTW I've noticed that the side-effect of Ben creating his first WCDT thread in awhile is that the thread title format has flipped again.

New comic.

Well, that's a nice mental image to reflect upon for the rest of the day

I like how it says 'Pocket Dimension' on Beep's bag.

shanejayell · « **Reply #24 on:** 19 Oct 2021, 18:57 »

Hey, Roko!

I assume they'll hit Union Robotics next....

Faye: "WHY does your poster have human/Robot sex?"

Being very nice.

Tova · « **Reply #26 on:** 19 Oct 2021, 22:33 »

Faye: "I like this poster very much!"
Beeps: "You know the human is offering a piggyback ride, right?"
Faye: "Oh, yes."
Beeps: "No, I mean... okay, never mind."

Yhelta · « **Reply #27 on:** 19 Oct 2021, 22:50 »

In before that "Pocket Dimension" purse is an actual item you can buy

BenRG · « **Reply #28 on:** 19 Oct 2021, 23:16 »

Was the problem all about Beepatrice's lack of artistic talent or was this the AI version of a Freudean slip? With Beepatrice, I assume the former but can't rule out the latter.

Farideh · « **Reply #29 on:** 20 Oct 2021, 02:11 »

Or both!

Today's strip reminds me of when I was on the Toronto Pride board in 2000. We had the loveliest logo of dancers forming 2000... then when we started printing them out in greyscale for the volunteer badges the colourful pattern turned into boobs.

Recommendation, run any artwork past Pintsize first

Oh no, Hannelore...

(new comic)

Farideh · « **Reply #34 on:** 20 Oct 2021, 18:58 »

It makes it better in _some_ aspects...

The speech balloons in today's comic do not have tails. Are the characters communicating with their minds? Or is it 'guess who is talking' day?

jwhouk · « **Reply #35 on:** 20 Oct 2021, 19:29 »

I think no one commented on it when Jeph put it up on Patreon yesterday.

sitnspin · « **Reply #36 on:** 20 Oct 2021, 19:38 »

You can easily infer who is speaking by the positioning.

Farideh · « **Reply #37 on:** 20 Oct 2021, 19:54 »

And also by the shape of the speech bubbles. I know

shanejayell · « **Reply #38 on:** 20 Oct 2021, 20:24 »

PFFFFFT That made it WORSE.

BenRG · « **Reply #39 on:** 20 Oct 2021, 23:07 »

Sometimes, all censorship ever proves is that 'suggestive' is something entirely in the mind.

May will probably want the sharpie "corrected" poster won't she?

Gyrre · « **Reply #41 on:** 20 Oct 2021, 23:30 »

Oh no. Accidental clanker not-quite-porn.
[not kink shaming]

EDIT: 'Clanker' is the colloquial term for someone sexual attracted to robots. It's usually not accompanied with the same derision that 'furry' tends to get used with. At least not from what I've seen.
[Sidebar: turns out a lot of folks have a thing for Starscream. Lindsay Ellis even did a video on that specifically.]

traroth · « **Reply #42 on:** 21 Oct 2021, 00:00 »

I was laughing so hard I couldn't catch my breath.

Seriously, the faces in the last panel... and Roko not saying a word in the entire comic... Just priceless.

snubnose · « **Reply #43 on:** 21 Oct 2021, 00:51 »

Yes, todays comic was quite funny.

Wait, what ? Marten and Dora SPLIT UP ? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO !

I thought something was weird about the comic recently.

Yeah, the black rectangle brings the flyer from "maybe they will fuck" to "they are definitely fucking"

And you can also put whisk(e)y in a mocha, which makes three of the four in one drink.

I really hope that Hanners didn't just nail her foot to the floor after she dropped the knife...

Also: nukes evil! Bad Hanners! No murdering your friends!
