As I understand it, suits haven't really evolved in the past 20-odd years. Anyways, if you have any particular type of suit from one of these decades, feel free to shout it out, And if you wish to elaborate on color. For example; a brown zoot suit or a black pinstripe suit.

[Gyrre]

Okay, poll is back. Noticed I had a duplicate entry for the 1940s and only gave one option.

Another example would be denim suits (not sure when those came about, but the have).

Beeps rapping has the same vibe as Hanners talking about 'DJ Phalliz'

[_Islanio]

Is that a Ukraine's flag at Gregor's?

[shanejayell]

Poor Roko. I can't see this ending well.
Wonder if Yay will turn up? Has Beeps met them, yet?

[Perfectly Reasonable]

Is that a Ukraine's flag at Gregor's?

It is indeed. Slava Ukranini!

I wonder what Beep's idea of a Girls' Night Out will turn out to be. We've seen Roko absorbing drunken packets at a bar back when she was a cop. (3695) Didn't seem exactly frolicsome. Of -course- Yay will horn in. Turning up uninvited is their secret power.

If you take art shifts into account, same posture and expression as well.

[Farideh]

New comic.

Maybe just take it to the police? If nothing else, someone might've reported it missing.

[_Islanio]

80% sure, so there's a 20%... nevermind.

Either way, some sort of eldritch horror will be summoned. There have been enough close calls in the QCverse that eventually it’ll all end up with tentacles. And not the “friendly” line that Pintsize dreams of.

[Gyrre]

80% sure, so there's a 20%... nevermind.

It's probably fine.

[DaiJB]

Possibly-human-skin-bound Bibles?! Is it just me, or is this comic getting weirder in a more and more chaotic way as time goes by? Not that I'm complaining, I like weird   
It's just that if Northampton is turning into Sunnydale, I'd like a bit of warning...

Regarding the poll: Personally, I hate suits, for multiple reasons. To me, they are proof that the western world has lost all sartorial creativity, with men wearing essentially the same formal attire for well over a century. Furthermore, when I am forced (usually by tradition and peer pressure) to wear one of the horrible things, I either have to wear something off the hook (i.e., something that doesn't fit) or pay exorbitant rates for a rental (because there is no way I am going to spend that sort of money to buy something I hate wearing).
Therefore, I would personally wish to relieve Bubbles of the burden of having to put up with wearing the wretched things at all - BUT, if she had to do so, I would go way, way back to the Victorian tailcoat, as it is possibly the most military-looking outfit, and I can visualize Bubbles in both military uniform and fatigues (and she rocks them both!).

[snubnose]

Jeph sure likes trolling us.

On the suits for Bubbles:

A 1940s, Zoot Suit in bright colours that compliment her dark red skin.

Victorian.  I watched Nicole Rudolphe's Youtube videos recreating Gonzo's outfit from a Muppet Christmas Carole.  At the time I could imagine Bubbles wearing it.

[JohnTheWysard]

One early English translation of the Bible was called "The Wicked Bible". The printers left out the word "not" in the 7th commandment: it read "Thou shalt commit adultury."

[hedgie]

Ever since I found out about that one, obtaining one of the remaining copies is on my list of things to do is I ever win the lottery.

[shanejayell]

Roko: "For some reason I want to go GROOOVY."

Beeps: "Here is my boomstick!"

[TV4Fun]

Is it just me, or is this comic getting weirder in a more and more chaotic way as time goes by?

Naw, it's always been weird and chaotic.

[Perfectly Reasonable]

The Night Out will soon attain critical mass. I wonder what venue they'll pick. Strip club maybe?

( those woods are the ones that border on the old quarry and the abandoned mall )

About 2/3 of the way through this video, my computer ... turned itself off.

[Farideh]

Comic's up.

Well... That took a turn.

[shanejayell]

USB glory holes. Huh.

Roko not looking at Beeps changing made me stop and go 'Why would robots care about modesty?' Tho I guess as they're surrounded by humans, they just kinda picked it up....

[sitnspin]

Roko has a very strong attachment to her body, it makes sense that she'd place a lot of weight on respecting other people's.

[Farideh]

I was wondering why Beeps was wearing a bra, and then I remembered her morning routine.

Some of these are suits from within the given time periods.


But I get the feeling something like this from the 1840s would be more to your tastes.


But then there's stuff like this from the late 1700s


EDIT: typo correction

[hedgie]

I was wondering why Beeps was wearing a bra, and then I remembered her morning routine.

Even if she doesn’t need the support, it’s quite possible that she doesn’t want chafing.

[Farideh]

True.

[justaguy]

I really like the pattern on Beeps's dress!

What is Roko doing in panel 2? Is she trying not to look at Beeps putting on her dress? But in the previous panel she's looking at Beeps in her underwear without seeming uncomfortable at all.

[sfsdfd]

So er… in today’s post… what’s the pink thing on Beeps’ dresser?

It looks very much like a souvenir from her last job.

[Fhqwhgads]

I logged in specifically to say, Jeph is getting seriously good at clothing.

Thought only I had noticed hehehe

[Torlek]

Presumably Beeps took her bra off since the straps aren't showing under the dress. Or maybe Beeps thinks it's going to be that kind of night and she's going full commando under the dress.

[hedgie]

I think that it's because of unpleasantness of her thoughts of that place.  Either that, or wondering why in the world Beeps would need to install a SCSI[1] card (for those really wild nights).

[1] hardcore kink, but you can fit up to 16 devices on a daisy chain.  You just hope that the ones at each end are self-terminating.

[Farideh]

Comic!

I love Roko

No, curiosity. NO.
This is an internet thing. You know better.

[hedgie]

Back before SATA-connected drives, or even the PCI connected ones, SCSI was the only way to connect devices if you really wanted speed.  It was (is) also quite expensive, and rather finicky.

[_Islanio]

Man, I still have for working SCSI drives, as well as a PCI adapter. They're identical, rated at 4330 mb. Got from an old server, for a retro project I still didn't take the time to it.

[Timemaster]

Wow, now I‘m really curious for Rokos dress. It makes me think of an old Taylor Swift song:

“Only bought this dress so you can take it off.“
Taylor Swift: Dress (2017)

Ah, tech stuff.

Sorry 😳
I learned to curb my morbid curiosity the hard way.
[Thankfully i avoided that video.

[Mr_Rose]

On the one hand, Jeph is teasing us hard but on the other hand we have new information about Roko; she likes Lemurs.

[DaiJB]

Well done Mr Jacques, you have cunningly ensured a large readership next Monday, all agog with curiosity as to what it is that Roko will be wearing next week  - besides Lemur-print underwear...

edit: Arggh!! A major Brain Fart here - my work-week ended a day early this week, so part of my alleged brain thought it was Friday... 

[pwhodges]

Monday?  It seems likely to me that tomorrow will be the day we see it.

[St.Clair]

Wow, now I‘m really curious for Rokos dress. It makes me think of an old Taylor Swift song:

“Only bought this dress so you can take it off.“
Taylor Swift: Dress (2017)
 

any Taylor Swift song is "old"?
a song from 2017 is "old"?

 

[bhtooefr]

[1] hardcore kink, but you can fit up to 16 devices on a daisy chain.  You just hope that the ones at each end are self-terminating.

Only on wide SCSI, though.

Narrow SCSI, there's only 3 ID bits, so you only get 8 devices on a chain, including the HBA. (IIRC, in SASI, the HBA doesn't need an ID, though, and early SCSI devices had to work on SASI HBAs. But, I think SCSI intended to allow multiple HBAs on a single bus, which SASI can't do.)

[hedgie]

True, I had forgotten about those, probably because I never had to deal with it in things that I owned. Mine were all either U160 or U320.

Edit: And yes, part of me thinking that it could be robot kink is that it is typically pronounced "skuzzy".

[Timemaster]

any Taylor Swift song is "old"?
a song from 2017 is "old"?

Every song turns „old“ automatically six months after release. 

Anyway, I just noticed: Beeps is AFAIR the first robot shown with proper toes. Even Rokos old body and Millefeuille are toeless. And I don’t remember Mays new body to have any. 🦶

[_Islanio]

She's one of the many noseless AIs tho

[Perfectly Reasonable]

Why is Roko channeling Marigold? That -is- Roko in there, is't it?

( cool dress beeps )

[Mr_Rose]

She’s… not? I don’t understand how you got here from there, sorry.
