Marigold is *adorable* in the last panel! 💛
May knows that words with a "k" sound are funny.
Wasn't that a bit in a Walter Mathau movie (in his later years)? "Pickle is funny. Tomato. That isn't funny."
We have a description comic of May. Now, with a new chassis a real possibility, could we get together and all beg Jeph for a new description comic of her? https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3035
I dunno, I'd be up for the Brun Chronicles as well... https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3230
Monkeys and typewriters
So this storyline (and in general) has me wondering what AIs need in order to sustain life. May has a job and lives with Momo, Marigold, and Dale ... I assume she shares in the rent and electric bill but split 4 ways that shouldn't be too bad. There would be taxes (of course) but beyond that and possibly internet I can't think of what they absolutely require. Is May still paying off her initial body? We know from various comics that those are expensive. Are all the AIs we see with jobs actually basically indentured servants working off their equivalent of student loans? Are there exploitative AI taxes that eat just about everything they can earn leaving only just enough for small closet and a trickle of electricity unless the find a human sponsor? Am I really thinking way too much about a silly comic with robots?
Yes. Please think of the catgirls.
Strangely enough, May's unbelieving comment is now part of my profile pic elsewhere ... :D
"Fucking Macaque"; a spiritual sequel to Yelling Bird
I LOL'd. Hard! XD
"Site developed by Hooting and Flinging LLC."
Code us a site, you're macaque man Code us a site tonight Well, we're all in the mood for a charity And you've got us feelin' alright
and we all lift together
Hardly ever.
What, NEVER?
I will have you know we spent almost two hours re sequencing that macaque's genetic code so he could write code for us!
Code monkey get up, get coffee, code monkey go to job.
Good one!
Is that a slur against humans?
The macaque jokes write themselves.
In panel 4 her eyes should be mirrored dollar signs
Eight plus one is infinite for sufficiently sideways values of eight.
Holy crap. Who the hell took away the monkeys' typewriters and gave them web editors?
Well, where is anyone going to find a typewriter in 2020!?
I love Marigold's priorities!
I can hear the white noise and processor grinding to a halt in panel 4. We all <3 you, May
Always trust Brak's mom.
fighter jet body, here she comes!
Fighter jet booty?
It's HARD to believe that something went right when you're so used to everything going wrong. It's easier to believe that the information is wrong.
Like our current American society.
Code Money get up, get coffee, Code Monkey go to job...
Code Monkey go to boring meeting, with boring manager Rob.
Marigold *has* been working out. And anyway ... what's wrong with a website coded by a monkey? Haven't you ever wanted to have macaque and eat it too?
GDI
In fairness I have completely judged a website entirely based on its bad layout and it’s coding. Even if it provides an otherwise great service.
At least the gibbon wouldn't had reached for React right out of the box.
Very specific - I feel your pain :-)
No, disbelief in this situation is expected. I just hope that it hits May that she will have to repay this kindness by a bit more proactive contribution to society.
Um. This is May we're talking about. Her contributions to society are going to be mostly fascinating new swear words. Although with Sven's assistance, I wouldn't put it past her to come up with new sexual positions and/or techniques either.
Where do i sign up to see that AI chassis?
Do code monkeys still like eating Fritos? Asking for a friend.
Not only Fritos, but Tab, and/or Mountain Dew!
Sven is an in-demand songwriter who gets paid like a boss, and Hanners is super loaded. There's probably enough in that fund to buy her a Philomena Model G with a custom F-16 fighter jet back tattoo and human standard genitals.
... with her own *actual* F-16 to fly it in.
I had a hope for what May's reaction might be, but THIS is more suited to her personality! ^_^
One time I hired a monkey to take notes for me in class. I would just sit there, my mind a complete blank, while the monkey scribbled on little pieces of paper. At the end of the class the teacher said "class, I want you to write a paper using your notes." So I handed in a paper that said "hello my name is Bingo, I like to climb on things, can I have a banana? Eek! Eek!" I got an F. When I told my mom about it she said "I told you never to trust a monkey!" The end.
Hi Brak.
Sorry to break this to you May, but there are a lot of people who think highly of you. In spite of your being an off-putting goblin.
1. May's purely adorable, so less of the "goblin" stuff, bucko! and 2. I forgot what #2 was going to be.
Now we’re going to say “macaque” all night again. Well-played.
One milllllllion dollars
tee hee she said a word that sounds like "mah cock"
Ze Frank..."No, that can't be right. That's too long to be mah cock." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZ4cadzCZUI
I love that foul mouthed blue skinned AI.
this is how i want to enter every room/conversation from now on.
It's sad this is what we have to rely on in our society as well.
It does seem a little bass ackward that we don't have any form of universal health care and the solution is a GoFundMe of some sort. Especially since most people already pay into Medicare/Medicaid from their paycheck....
An infinite number of monkeys maybe...
What's the number Is it twelve? I like that number
It's at least 12, maybe even *13*
All right! They did it.
AUGH SO PSYCHED
THE SUSPENSE
