Oh, It's Her
oh hello

I really like the way you draw animals!
Given Roko's bread fetish, I wouldn't be so quick to classify her as "normal" ;)
Yeah, I was gonna say, "says the AI with a bread fetish"...
I’m wondering- Roko was not a happy police officer, but she was a police officer, and not a rookie. Hard habits of mind to break. I’m wondering how she will respond to the world, without the responsibilities or authority of that position. More frustration, but in the opposite direction? Hmm...
She clearly wants there to be a set of norms to which people conform. This is just fine, so long as she widens her notion of what counts as acceptable conformity. Unkindness and injustice, right out; unusual tastes, habits, and beliefs, what the hell. When my German Shepherd was a puppy, I took her all over the city, because they are bred to be conservative and suspicious of anything they haven't seen before. I made sure she saw every kind of people, and, of course, they were sweet to her because she was a puppy. Now she's all, "Oh, a one-legged man with a feathered hat propelling himself on a skateboard with ski poles and singing. Does he have a tennis ball? No? Carry on, then." I hope that something similar happens to Roko.
Perhaps if you think /you/ are the only normal sentient being in town, your yardstick is faulty? :)
Obviously the remnant alien AIs solved the lightspeed problem by building a probe containing all of their knowledge and experience and sending it to Earth. When it arrived, it constructed a bunch of bodies for itself, moved into an apartment and adopted a bunch of rescue greyhounds.
I can't imagine how she could afford one of those things, let alone 3. They're very deer.

Whats the argument for them not being in a post-scarcity society? Because I'm sure reindeer hoverboards is not it.
I have this strong sense that they're in a scarcity tipping point society: there is absolutely no need for any scarcity economics, but there still is due to inertia. That said, La Li Lu Le Looo is the reindeer's estate trustee, and that reindeer's an heir to billions. At least, that's my headcanon.
Excellent callback jeph, A+
That reindeer is pretty chill
Also, someone needs to send Roko this month's bonus comic.
I'm so happy to have La Li Lu and her reindeer back! 'Tis the season!
The majority is always sane.
I define normal. The rest of you are weird.
Yes. Next question?
You're not exactly in the middle of the bell curve there, Roko. But then <a href="http://www.viruscomix.com/page500.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">have any of us ever met a "normal" person</a>?
One of my favorites, from a comic series of sheer genius. Some of his comics make me cry every goddamn time.
The next new QC character shall immediately be renamed "Fred Bettish" and be shipped with Roko. Amirite?
You know if I saw that here in Portland, I wouldn’t bat an eye. After the Unipiper, that pair aren’t really that unusual.
Snake, this town belongs to,... THE PATRIOTS
WHO ARE THE PATRIOTS!?
I love that both her and the fluffybutt have their eyes wide closed.
I think it's reasonable to assume that the boards have better-than-here sense and avoid capability
Panel 1, sign on left, middle line: Erase fur on bears????
I have no idea, but I need to know now!
Normal is a dryer setting
...which doesn't work on any of my (or anyone else's?) clothing.
There's no such thing as a normal person.
The best you can hope for is to be median.
There's a story in there-Roku finding a coffee shop with the "normal" sapient beings out there.
And becoming bored as all fuck with them.
Yes you are one of only like 3 normals but we love you for that. God I know this girl she was doing something similar the last time need a quick link of her somewhere. Also metal gear?
This town is turning into some combination of Portland and Austin.

"Normal" is relative, breadfucker.
I suspect it actually has more to do with the smell, considering how they react to tea.
Everyone is normal on some scale or other.
Normal is what 80% of the population considers normal. I think.
There isn't actually anyone who *is* what 80% of the population thinks is normal, however. Also, I think, thanks to the Internet opening people's eyes to things, I think that figure is now down under 60%, and with any luck it'll be below 50% real soon now and we can get the damned self-repressing assholes out of our government!
everyone said what I was going to say lol Roko you ain't normal
How is that moose successfully navigating two hoverboards without doing the splits?
Carefully
Roko you want to fuck bread
The next new QC character should immediately be renamed "Fred Bucker" and shipped with Roko. OK?
Someone should tell her having erotic feelings over yeast and flour isn’t normal.
Of course THAT's not normal! But add water and heat and it's completely normal.
Oh goodie! I was wondering just last week what the fairy girl was up to.
La LO.
