What kind of monster doesn't cry at the end of every Vin Diesel movie?
Brobot!
Love this layout for a 5-pane comic.
What would be really hilarious is if Yay really is a fan of Christopher, but doesn't want anyone to know. Just like they played it cooooool when meeting Hercules https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4235
here's hoping that Yay ensures that Christopher is never heard from again.
I know I should feel sorry for him, but that's some non-consensual selfie taking right there, so buddy has it coming.
Press F to pay respects to Christopher. We were together for but one page yet our time together was so sweet.
already trying to break that record for whatever the bug's name was
Rip Christopher
Oh look, an AI I don't instantly like. It's the oblivious "they heard of me so they must be a fan" that rubs me.
Just to break the wall a bit...I don't even understand how an AI "influencer" is even a thing. Who are they "influencing"?
Other AI? And humans too, why not?
I really like it to come home from work and find an E-Mail for the newest QC Strip :)
And Christopher was never seen again...
How does Christopher's Thumb Cam work?
Very well, thank you.
Unleash your inner giant squid, Yay!
Christopher is blissfully unaware of how close he is to torment beyond imagination and/or utter obliteration. I kinda love him a little bit for that.
The look on Yay's face is absolutely perfect.
Also Melon: Yay's a [REDACTED]. Nobody knows what that is but apparently it's also not a big deal!
Poster next to the door - "Free Butt Hugs"???
Butt RUBS i believe
Well, I guess the body of this one-off gag strip character that will never show up again will never be found... :P
I heard a a hungry allosaurus in the distance
Last panel makes me wonder if Yay's core programming is actually based on cats, not people. That would explain a lot.
Utterly convinced of their own godhood - considers people as amusing playthings - ostentatiously disdainful but also weirdly needy about companionship... IT'S CATS ALL THE WAY DOWN ...I think Yay is what happened when all the internet's cat memes became sentient. Oh no.
Oh my gods I love him
Roko's smug face in panel 2 is perfection.
Yay allowing Roko to bully her is so much fun
Yay has more than enough power to simply delete Christopher's selfie. Piff, it just simply doesn't exist. Not that Yay couldn't use a more direct method, like removing the offending camera-thumb. Snap, it is no longer attached.
assuming she just doesn't delete Christopher, that hiss can be an annoyed cat or a burning fuse
i don't think Yay's a fan.
Yeah, they're more of a Peltier device...
As a side question, did Jeph make Melon cuter?
I would have said "Not possible", but ya know what? I think he did.
Yay is allergic to exposure. Like a Vampire with light. Hence the Hissss...
He's o r a n g e
So is your profile pic
Yellow tank top and Green shorts? Please Christopher…
omg the Monster Factory reference, I love it
Where's Crushbot when you need him?
Yay's gonna ship them SO HARD...
Ahahah I love imagining an influencer AI. They would be really good at it, presumably, since they could know all the things at any moment, or at least many of them
I just wanna make out with Yay tho
Well, that's one approach to polyamory. However, you ought to have that death wish looked at, soon.
Yesssss, more himbos. Good, good. Also Yay in the last panel 100% embodies my best friend.
Chris deserves everything Yay will do to him.
Well, Melon *did* blow a hole in Roko's ceiling with the volcano model, so it's legit that she might be suspected for this event...
Melon and Pintsize must never meet.
Are we about to have a long storyline on the developing romance between Yay and Christopher?
Oh I hope not.
An influencer AI 🤣
An Influencer
Is this neighbour the impetus for Yay to move out of their pod?
And into Roko’s luvvvvvvv nest.
Whelp. Now we see if the evolving into a being of great power but even greater restraint holds. I admit the old Yay probably would have casually dodged the grasp of the unknowing Robo and warned it off directly w/o speaking. The new Yay appears to keep things real-time in deference to Roko and will suffer minor offenses to its sensibilities. Christopher will probably get a pass.
BTW Yay Hissing still has me chuckling.
In my mind, Yay is just saying the word "hiss" rather than making the noise.
It’s really hard to say “hiss” without… hissing.
I was hoping to see fangs or claws or hair standing straight up or something in that last panel. Hissing is pretty good, though.
Christopher is kind of terrible and I think I love him
Christopher is kind of terrible and I don't think we will miss him after Yay does what Yay is about to do to him.
Same Yay
Hsssss lol
Jeph doesn't joke around with these names. That guy's name is definitely Christopher Christopher Christopher Chistopher
"... and in today's episode, the role of Doctor Mandible will be played by Christopher"
I can't wait to see how Yay! messes with Christopher in revenge! This gonna be goooooooooood.
What’s the odds that Yay can delete themselves from every digital picture that’s taken of them?
I was thinking the same thing.
he ded
We can only hope
I love Yay
Next, he attacks Faye while she's standing next to Bubbles. The following strip shows what's left of him as a surprise in Steve's cereal box.
I predict Christopher is the first of TWO new characters! Because none of the existing characters could possibly ship with him.
Hey, Gordon needs love!
And that's how Christopher's final post was a post-mortem lesson on consent and personal space!
Gordon?! Gordon’s too good for him.
Yay, new friends!
To borrow a line from elsewhere, "If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention." I can't imagine *anything* good happening to poor shallow Christopher in the next.... well, forever. Thou shalt not mess with the Yay, but he didn't know that, poor soul.
Of course, "they" have the power to stop any being in its tracks, but they are reluctant to use such power. We'll see.
And that's how Christopher's social media accounts got deleted
Their vampire sense will go off and a program will erase them from that photo
Their* Yay is enby
🤘🤣🤘
Christopher is now an ex-Christopher
HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSs Also, Roku's face in the second panel is the best.
Dammit. Why am I simping for a Robro?
But Yay didn't go 'Woo!' ☹️
I'm sure they're just hissing because that's how they prefer to present for Christopher's audience, with which they are familiar.
Oh no
Christopher needs to learn about personal space, asking, and whether or not he would like to try out Pintsize's old case with all limbs removed
I want a thumbcam
It has to be feasible
OOH! PASTY-BOT IS EVEN SEXIER WHEN THEY'RE PISSED-OFF!
Not named “healthy relationship bird” for reasons
Great. A named character. Which means....he's permanent.
Hope not.
Christopher unknowingly grabbing the tiger by the tail there.
And then kicking it in the goolies
I can't help but hear the above text in the voice of the announcer from the WWE Monster Factory episode. "Christopher... Christopher... Christopher... CHRISTOPHER!"
Bad Jeph! Don’t tell us the names of soon to be deceased entities. We might start caring and 1. Influencer, and (MUCH more important) 2. Made Yay hiss.
It’s gonna be a hard sell to make us like Christopher, but we saw Clinton through…
The Pebble here is a pretty reasonable dude.
His parents have Monster Factory sprays.
welp, rip chris
I wouldn't be surprised if Yay doesn't appear in photos. Either that or they just instantly hack & delete everything.
Or both
Christopher has made a fatal error
"Christopher.exe performed an illegal operation and will be terminated."
I suspect that photo - and much of Christopher's data - will find itself mysteriously corrupted.
Omg brobots are my new favorite thing
Ironically I have a new pet peeve.
And Melon, sweetie, these things happen, you are not to blame.
...Sometimes. Maybe.
The last panel has me cackling.
Oh crap! This may be the first time Yay has been photographed. There goes their anonymity.
Oh please! Like they couldn't alter/delete that photo any time they wanted.
I have the feeling that Christopher will live to regret this moment.
If he's lucky. If Yay hadn't been softened by hanging out with Roko, Mellon, Elliot, and Hercules his arm probably would have fallen off before it was fully extended.
....I'm currently contemplating the ethical dilemmas that could come from having a Clinton-like cybernetic hand with a camera in my thumbnail. Yep, still would be worth the liability.
The Liability of being able to spy on everyone with your hand? Edit: Also, if your hand had a mic, it would actually mean something when you tell someone: "Talk to the hand!"
Get em, Yay!
Uh...hey...there a reason why Christopher's follower count is now...negative?
There's no need to cry when you've got Family. XD
I was going to make this comment. *tip of the hat* 😂
Don't we all cry at Vin Diesel movies. Right?
Yes, for the money we'll never see again.
The light! It burns us!
Take it to the bank boys, this ones just like bart
I am the Bart man now
Christopher the Ro-Bro.
