Breathtaking Innovation

I love Winslow's line in the last panel. He seems to have a good grasp of what May is like.

Dude, you gotta socialize your healthcare or when it gets older it'll keep barking at other people's healthcare and you don't want that. Wait no, that's dogs I'm thinking of. SOCIALIZE YOUR DOGS! (Preferably with me)

May actually seems pretty down for "making stuff better for everyone". I don't think she's actually an arsehole, she just behaves like one as a sort of defence mechanism. And I can see Hannelore's dad possibly fixing May's immediate problem by just giving her a job that comes with AI healthcare. Although this might give her worrying access to fighter plane bodies :s

An AI without a body would be very vulnerable. "We are closing down this division and thus this server, you have a week to get a job with someone else and get downloaded to their server before we shut this one down and sell it for parts."

From a distance, the right to correct embodiment seem much bigger than socialized healthcare. I would more put it to the level of "right to a correct habitation". It's also very different if there is a theoritical right to a correct body without actual consequence if it fail, or if AIs can sue something to get a new body. (from a country with socialized stuff)

Synonyms for poo might be involved

May's got reserves of vocabulary that she hasn't even touched yet.

Why do the robots have what appear to be *two* coffee machines? And how do I sign up to work there?

Healthcare and horny robots is the future liberals want

I would like to live in QC America please

The hardest thing I have to do is to keep my ol' alligator mouth shut and not fan the flame wars. But having read what Jeph said, I'm gonna do just that. :)

I wish for a world without the pumpkin man

Is there some kind of like, inter-dimensional portal that would lead to the QC universe?

Thank you for qc amirca

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a block function in Patreon for other commenters.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Dora say she wouldn't file Faye's firing from Coffee of Doom until the insurance went through after she went to the hospital for alcohol poisoning? If so that would mean that at that time insurance was still tied to employment.

This is an answer for everybody who is commenting about the earlier strip, where Faye was kept on as an employee to allow insurance coverage. Jeph is creating a wonderful, interesting, and very complex story. I will NOT criticize him on anything until I am SURE I can do better, and unless I have PROOF of that. Which ain't gonna happen. (Translation, I done lost my rights to bitch at Jeph.)

Whether she's intending to or not, Roko is being a good lawyer for May here. A lawyer's responsibility is to her client, not society at large (even though society is hopefully helped by the lawyer's efforts for her client!). Roko's doing right by May: her focus is on helping May, and she's asking how May wants to proceed. So interesting to see a former cop turn basically into a defense attorney overnight!

Fuck everything else, I want a full strip of just May, swearing. :)

One of my favorite things about QC is the way Jeph shows us what a better world looks like. Today we're seeing it in the big things, but how often do we also see it in the small - in the way people relate to each other, work on their traumas and issues, take care of themselves and each other? I want to live in the QC world; to get there, we're going to have to make it ourselves.

Let's assume that they just copied Canada.

TBH, AI's probably run the economy in this world, so my bitching about socialized stuff not working on the last comic was probably pointless since an AI-run tax/social benefit system is probably highly efficient. Edited:

Awww... It's so nice to know the human QC characters get good healthcare! I would be very happy living in that world. (The robots are cool, too.)

I mostly wish I lived in QC America just because of the robotics technology

Beeps will get more than she bargained for. This could be life-changing...

Well ya, you have AIs, you better run things right or they will make you!

I have socialized medicine and it's great 👍👍

#Bodycare4All Until all of us are free, none of us are free! Stand in solidarity with our AI siblings!

I just had a lightbulb moment... May has been in the comic a lot longer than anyone thinks! Prior to her current body, she was an AI bird... a yelling bird!!! :O

I've always wanted to see May curse like Sydney does in Grrl Power. That would certainly help Beeps.

phd stands for Pretty Heinous Dictionary

What is fiction if not a place to indulge your ideals?

So... What's the name of the Beepatrice/May ship? Maypatrice or Bay? Bay seems appropriate, because it could be pretty... explosive.

its nice to take a break and imagine a better place. i love QC america

Yay(not spookybot) the story gets back to May. Also I'm expecting a full page of cussing

She's Michelangelo when it comes to swearing!

It isn't <i>completely</i> socialized, since Dora thought it was important to keep Faye technically employed until after the emergency room bills for alcohol poisoning came through.

Just the AI made me want to live in the QC universe. And now eccentric billionaires that actually want to help society? Now I'm in even more.

Sooo.... how does one move to the QC America? Asking for a friend.

I hope this leads to May going up to station, and then experience the laser demonstration that Marigold experienced. “This is the greatest day of my life!”

I'm Canadian and I want to live in the QC world Q_Q

I'm hoping for a string of curses so powerful it melts all earwax within 30 meters

May's Profanasaurus, 3rd Edition.

Now, I really wish we all lived in the Questionable Content world!

Be careful of what you ask for?...

i was hoping the qcverse would have socialised healthcare, thank you jeph <3

Ooohhhhhh... I can't wait to see May's response.
