And you are in Wikipedia under Von Neumann Probes.. Good Job.
I wonder how many times QC is on Wikipedia like that
Don't fret, Bubbles... Kaye used GorillaGlue™
I'd been imagining all day that Fay would just have dug out a vintage 1990 "hangs on the car door in the window slot" cup holder from a gas station that has a daisy applique on it or something.
This whole week's storyline has been so deliciously random and I love it
New theory. That was a drone dispatched by station for a well-check on Hannelore after directing a kinetic strike.
Pretty good theory. All the other drones will be so jealous about the cup holder
Distributing caffeine to poor innocent Von Neumann probes. :)
It's not going to space, it's bringing coffee to its friend, the world's greatest trapeze artist.
I don't think coffee will function in the cold vacuum of space either. Ice coffee maybe.
I guess it depends on the nature of the spiders.
The fact that it can't (or won't) communicate but has a fully functional system for financial transaction probably says something profound about capitalism.
It seems to have got everything it wanted out of the day.
Next week, the Slab makes breakfast for a stunned Steve & Cosette after it reveals to Cosette that she’s expecting twins. Steve is stunned that the Slab is using a wok to fry bacon and eggs. “When did I get a wok?” Steve ponders.
Taking bets on if this is Spookybot’s original body.
I can’t help thinking all of this week’s strips are in actuality the final random electrical impulses of the various AIs in the wake of last week’s EMP blast. ….
Can't decide - was that First Contact, or was it First Coffee?
First Contact, SECOND coffee.
I'm waiting for our expert in "helping satellites to make friends" to already be well acquainted with and a personal confidante of the slab
I would be sad if this is the last time we saw FBSEALH, but on the other hand, making this the last time we see FBSEALH would be such a boss move.
Was I expecting to become emotionally invested in a floating black slab? No Am I absolutely emotionally invested in the floating black slab's character development now? Damn right I am!
There's coffee in that nebula.
With coffee now safely in the cup holder I'm sure the floating black slab emitting a low hum will make the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs.
I... did not expect FBSEALH to get this level of character development
.... or at least not for a few more dozen strips.
I suspect that the "name" is the equivalent of an IP address, rather than something in the vernacular.
I for one welcome our latte-drinking softly-humming overlords.
The alien vanguard is a lot nicer than I was expecting.
We might be amusing to them
I want to know how much they paid
Hopefully enough that Faye and Bubbles will be scared at how much and consider getting an assistant like Marigold.
Maybe Pintsize had a change of heart and traded his body in...
You're really killing it lately, Jeph!!!
My god... it's full of coffee...
I'D LOVE IT IF THOSE TWO APPLIED SUCTION CUPS TO ME! ALSO, BOO! I'M A FUCKING GHOST!
I'M SO INTRIGUED. AI is so diverse.
But seriously, Velco is ALWAYS superior to a suction cup unless you need something completely and totally removable.
... and in the shower, because, you know, velcro would mold quickly!
Okay I have QUESTIONS 1. How tf did it pay 2. With what currency 3. BUBBLES HOW DID IT PAY
The Questionable 'Verse has a Robot PayPal that can be used between any AI, apparently.
I wonder if someone on board Station has a crush on Hanners and built that to try and ask her out. But even in orbit Hanners still leaves that person tongue tied.
Jeph, you know your stuff better than I ever will but maybe consider adding a sound effect to panel 1 for when the floating black slab pays?
Can’t wait until the somewhere in the background of a strip someone gets hit by a failing latte
Giant Space Baby now has its latte
Huh, I hadn't thought about the fact that suction cups don't work in a vacuum
Ooh do we have the Deus Ex Machina for all their financial woes?
It's a shame Sam wasn't working, FBSEALH could have gotten a bitchin' spray!
It has one, but it's black on black.
Ask Yay about Hmmm - they are more likely to know than anyone, and they love showing off.
At least it wasn’t looking for a blue whale to satisfy it’s mission.
Coffee for Tilly?
Lattes don't work in space, either. Just sayin'.
No, they just work differently
🥳
Just a happy glow
god i hope this is never explained. a new pizza girl for a new era.
I appreciate that Faye is dumb like me and did not even remotely consider that suction cups don't work in space
How often does that come up for you?
Cue that suction cup detaching and hitting someone in Something*Positive in the head. I think that's how these things work?
Man, haven't read that name in a longass time
We hardly knew ye. Hope they left Faye and Bubbles a lot of money.
"I must go now, my people need me."

I’m not ready for this new character’s storyline to be over!!!
I eat Von Neumann probes for breakfast. The box never runs out!
Farewell, new friend 👋
*New* New friend.
