Did I miss #3831?
Did #3831 not get posted to the Patreon?
Doesn't look like it
Crazy thought: what if this leads May to join the police force in some expertise area, like how they might have really good counterfeiting guys work as their counterfeiting expert or really good hackers join the good guys? This also would be the closest May could get to her original dream of being apart of the military like Bubbles was.
She is an embittered wannabe fighter jet with god-tier forensic accounting skills! She is a lonely bread-lusting beat cop with an urge to make a difference! Together they FIGHT CRIME!
Please post the patreon updates, even if they're late! I rely on them to read the comic, since the RSS is so delayed. I didn't initially realize there was a comic between the last update and this one.
Yup, this
I think that there's a queue of people waiting to give Roko a hug so can May please get out of the way?
Jeph, don't worry about missing Saturday, but I tend to read QC exclusively in my mailbox now, so if you miss any in the future, can you post them here anyway? I acceidentally read these out of order, because I didnt see your note till I read the comic :(
You might want to fix the typo in panel two before posting to the site ("enalaved" vs. "enslaved").
Don't count on it. Have you any idea how many typos have not been corrected in the strips over the years? (I don't have any idea either - I didn't bother to count them) I like to think of it as an occasional reminder that there is an actual <i>human</i> drawing the comics.
Yay, Roko character development! I mean, beyond the whole baked goods thing.
Yeah, it looks like the May arc was an introduction to a Roko arc. Will she quit the police and get a job at The Secret Bakery?
Jeph, I only read QC on patreon now - can you link to the previous strip if you're not going to put it up here?

I think May has earned that bonus parole point
Real parole points or not, her face appears like she genuinely cares, even though she might not admit it. So she is probably earning some kind of bonus points with the local law enforcement officer, which can't hurt her in the parole department. And it's always better to have cops who are friends, rather than enemies.
Roko's being a little too hard on herself. All police officers are bound to the legal restrictions of their job. Perhaps she feels bad because she was originally targeting Bubbles and Faye in an effort to bring down the operation without realizing why Bubbles was compelled to work for her.
I really feel bad for Roko. She needs someone to share this stuff with. May is not that person.
I’d been wondering about Roko's professional life. She might miss some crime, but she cannot be expected to enforce the law singlehanded — in a big community like hers, she should be just one cop in a much larger working group. Except for her burly AI drinking buddy, we haven’t seen them, but they must be around ... perhaps she and Burly are the only AI cops in town? And feel lonely because they’re supposed to magically nose out AI crime? In which case, her police department needs some waking up.
I think she feels responsible because the robot fighting ring was her jurisdiction and she missed a whole lot of the details
Roko, there are limits to what anyone can do and it seemed to me that Corpse Witch had gone to a lot of trouble to protect herself by way of corruption. Stopping her was always going to be difficult for one junior cop to do alone against that sort of structure.
Having missed the previous strip, I read this thinking Officer Roko was just having an argument with her tea induced vision
The strip is up on the QC site.
Oh, good! I was afraid you were visiting our North Carolina coast when the hurricane struck.
Would Roko have permission to sit in Bubble's chair, I wonder? Perhaps she commandeered it in the name of the law.
Pretty sure Bubbles wouldn't mind. Getting some Faye-booty has really mellowed her out.
He lives!
I smell a cop x ex-convict shipping!
I don't think so, myself. However, I can see May being the person that tells Roko some things that she needs to hear but most people feel constrained by her office from telling her.
advdvsVsdv i cant spel
It's ok, nobody wants to be enalaved by grammar nazies.
Enalaved??? You mean Enslaved Jeph?
Hey Jeph, I think there's a typo in panel 2 - is that supposed to be 'enslaved'?
also typo. "Enalaved"
