FBSEALH
good tipper
Comments (75)
I just want to congratulate Jeph on drawing the monolith with the proper 1:4:9 proportions, or at least a reasonable approximation. I read and re-read 2001 and 2010 so many times as a kid. Love this reference.
I hope this is never explained
Good cosmic horror never is!
I like my coffee like I like my slabs: bold, black, and mmm-mmm-Mmmm!
I LIKE MY COFFEE LIKE I LIKE MY BODILY ORIFICES! HOT, WET, AND WITH MY WANG IN IT!
you don't want the Black Slab to tip 50% though. The latte will slide off.
hahaha, that was a terrible, wonderful joke
It came all the way from Europa for a cup of coffee.
You can't get Coffee of Doom just anywhere.
Floating Black Slab Emitting a Lavender Halo is going to be pissed off when the orders get mixed up.
Why does it feel like the order is a dirty chai?
Love the wave indicating motion.
I heard slab tipping was pretty popular - now I know why...
Those vanishing points seem odd to me...
The slab bends space-time
gotta tip good when someone FINALLY gets your order
first day on the job and Claire's already rackin up the cash for the ol CoD. well done.
Lil' Monolith knows that the best way to promote humanity's evolution is to tip generously.
Hypothesis: this is actually Yaaay's true form
counter hypothesis: it's Yay's little sibling.
I don't know what Hannelore complain about. It's their most hygienic customer yet.
Now you just made me imagine it in the shower... HOT!!1!eins
So, it's a Shame Orb's younger cousin, Slab of Slight Confusion. I wonder what their whole family tree looks like.
Black and rectangular, I assume.
Ok but why do they qualify it as "the black slab emitting a low hum?" Are there other colored slabs? Slabs that emit other sounds?
Absolutely. There's also a few that are just completely silent.
Give it to us straight, Jeph. One month from now they'll be in a non-binary relationship with Pintsize. We know where you're headed.
Digital Entities can't be in non-binary relationships unless they use analog computation substrates.
Did Hanners summon the FBSEALH by drawing it on the 'Be Nice To A Robot Today' flyer?
the MMMMMMM is satisfaction.
Is this the first time we've seen the actual price for good advice, and it's of course?
(It's not. It's visible in 4631.)
Also easiest character to write dialog for
The invisible emu's dialog is easier to write.
I like how claire thought to perch it on top of the monolith!
Did it just teleport cash into the till or did it do an wireless thing? One would be odd, the other would terrify even Yay.
Couldn't it just have an NFC interface like my credit card? Or even Venmo? I can believe the cash register responds to an incoming Venmo.
The next candidate for "easiest character to draw" is "Invisible NB Pansexual" who is really self conscious about it so they proactively warn people out loud when they're nearby.
In the year 2525 if Jeph is still alive, if AI can survive, they may fiiiiiind, everyone is a floating slab. The end.
Also sprach Zarathustra, just sayin'
MMMMM, it’s like “Ook” but for black slabs instead of Orangutan librarians
The Librarian would demand a banana smoothie here. Made with the hammer.
so, is this the first QC character to have an actual action figure? https://www.amazon.com/Toynk-Science-Fiction-Collectible-Monolith/dp/B01MEETRTD
VIVAT GRENDEL!
OOOoooooOOOOoooo! I AM THE GHOST OF YELLING BIRD!
Yelling Bird! Are you trapped inside that floating censor bar that just bought coffee?
I appreciate that the floating black slab appears to be proportioned as 1:4:9, as is proper for floating black slabs. An easy detail to mess up!
In the first three dimensions, anyway…
Slabbie is my new favorite character
So... who was the PREVIOUS easiest character to draw?
I'll have a guess at Pintsize Classic
Maybe the hum is just the only part of Slab's communications that human ears can percieve?
Love how Dora gets to what's important - Floating Black Slab emitting a low hum that tips well.
I have a new favorite character
Very good tipper.
This is Yay's dad
Now I wanna see Hanner's speardsheet *(spreadsheet)
The speared sheet is the one that Hanners dropped the knife onto last week.
Shaped like that, of course it will tip well.
ba-dum-tish.
This was an odd diversion
Had to do sumpin cool for Claire's first day
Is he trying to impress his boss, like Gordon?
Oops, that was Gary.
Um, what exactly will they be doing with their latte?
It’s picking it up for Emily. They’re working on a project together at Smif.
Claire is the cutest and must be protected at all cost
Jeph entered his cubist phase in 2021, comic historians later note.
Further evidence of sentience: recognition of human social norms.
Jeph.
All hail Slab, new star character of the comic! 🙇♂️
Lol what even is going on
FBSEALH finally got their drink. It's extra important to tip well when you can't otherwise communicate and the barista actually got your drink order mostly right.
Comic title is FBSEALM?
Floating Black Slab Emitting A Low Hum (FBSEALM). Not sure where the M comes from tho, I guess cause all it says is MMMMMMMMM
