The one with the "sexy unicorn man" was effectively confirmed to be Assam by Emily because she said that Assam smells like sexy unicorn man to her xD So, it's implied that it's somewhat consistent between people.

2025-02-14 10:42:33 +0000 UTCMaybe once or twice, but who hasn't?
Yelling Bird
2025-02-08 10:35:03 +0000 UTCWonder if different AI interpret different smells in different ways? Like, what one tea might be a unicorn grove for Bubbles, might be something else for Roko.
legobil
2025-02-07 07:56:25 +0000 UTCThis is only the second(?) time we've seen them interact - the first time, Ayo was much more awkward, but she'd just met Faye and she also barely knew Iris at that point. But now she's more than able to hold her own xD
enchantedsleeper
2025-02-06 08:54:44 +0000 UTCThank you @opus good to know
Andrew Mitchell
2025-02-06 08:49:56 +0000 UTC@Elizabeth Rosenzweig it's the pine smoke that makes it lapsang sochong. Without that it's just a long cut black tea.

2025-02-06 02:53:34 +0000 UTCHow...how has that not occurred to me before?
ValdVin
2025-02-06 01:34:32 +0000 UTCYes.
Ursus Ridens
2025-02-06 01:02:44 +0000 UTCI like how Ayo obviously doesn't miss a beat with Faye because she's so used to Iris xD
enchantedsleeper
2025-02-06 00:32:40 +0000 UTCOr a poster with "GOOD JOB" and a gold star on it. Just like a QC library intern 🥹
enchantedsleeper
2025-02-06 00:29:52 +0000 UTCAre you sure you didn't just wander in there by accident :D (Like Emily)
enchantedsleeper
2025-02-06 00:28:58 +0000 UTCFaye was very good at remembering Angus' order so that she could get it wrong without fail. (This is a joke, but she probably did xD)

enchantedsleeper
2025-02-06 00:20:28 +0000 UTCYou can absolutely tell that Hanners locked onto a system that worked with Ayo and has used it ever since :D
enchantedsleeper
2025-02-06 00:19:24 +0000 UTCIt’s more of a mishap with the digital brush, making Faye have a skin disease according to Jeph’s Bluesky post.

Opus the Poet
2025-02-05 21:43:21 +0000 UTCLoving both Ayo's expression in the last panel and Hanners' outfit in general...
Hugh Eckert
2025-02-05 17:59:19 +0000 UTCI'm assuming "embarrassed blush" because this is the sort of professionalism that she never mustered in that job.
Philip Masters
2025-02-05 17:41:44 +0000 UTCaaaah, validation from others, this will surely fill the bottomless black pit where my self-esteem should be, mmmmm
Sydney J Freedberg
2025-02-05 15:01:08 +0000 UTCI'm voting "blush."

Miyaa
2025-02-05 13:12:37 +0000 UTCIs it a blush or Jeph just getting fancy with shadows?
Mark
2025-02-05 12:59:53 +0000 UTCWhy are you blushing, Faye?
Amós Batista
2025-02-05 12:24:22 +0000 UTCyeaaah
Amós Batista
2025-02-05 12:23:25 +0000 UTCYesssss!!! For a while, “Are you going to be cowering? Can I join you?” was my default response to anyone who told me they were going into another room! 🤣
Melissa Wilson
2025-02-05 11:38:42 +0000 UTCElizabeth - I'm from Sydney but this is the tea I get shipped to me. https://www.mcivers.melbourne/products/lapsangsouchong
Andrew Mitchell
2025-02-05 09:55:37 +0000 UTCIs it just me or has the art been looking noticeably more detailed and expressive since Jeph took that vacay?
Elizabeth Rosenzweig
2025-02-05 09:21:32 +0000 UTCCan you make some brand recommendations? Adagio's lapsang is made with pine smoke and turns every blend it's in into hot ham water.
Elizabeth Rosenzweig
2025-02-05 09:18:11 +0000 UTCIn fact, we've had more than one "unicorn" tea, since Bubbles' original tea-vision experience was in "unicorn grove", and I think that this is the one Roko's ordering xD Even though it would be funny if she came by for uniporn sexytimes.
enchantedsleeper
2025-02-05 08:00:12 +0000 UTCIt was Assam, though 🤔
enchantedsleeper
2025-02-05 07:58:15 +0000 UTCI really love the interplay between everyone, especially now that everyone's had so many years of growth.

2025-02-05 07:36:19 +0000 UTCNa, you can happily remember your customers and still give 'em sass. It might even give you an edge.

Andrew
2025-02-05 06:09:57 +0000 UTCNot required on Ayo. Her own physical process of receiving validation almost self imprints them on its own.

Melissa Wilson
2025-02-05 03:29:49 +0000 UTCValidation from Hanners would fix me

2025-02-05 03:27:45 +0000 UTCI used to love reading Doc Savage books!
Dr. Otter
2025-02-05 03:27:11 +0000 UTCYes! I can totally imagine her exploring the store room of Doom, “feeling” the scene, with hands outstretched *just* like Adrian Monk!
Melissa Wilson
2025-02-05 03:25:59 +0000 UTCI give my coworkers stars, too! 🌟 I feel so seen!!!
Melissa Wilson
2025-02-05 03:20:05 +0000 UTCThese two are completely ruining CoD’s rep for sass. Faye worked hard to build that up :)
Andrew
2025-02-05 03:19:27 +0000 UTCNice from Faye must be earned & if Anh taught us anything, it’s that the fastest path to touch that particular nirvana is to be a loud, hot mess, psychosocially (+ bonus points, if you’re also a hot, potentially bi-curious heiress, accelerating toward an alcoholic blackout by drinking double-fisted).

Joseph Bonnar
2025-02-05 02:59:19 +0000 UTCYes. I have never heard of the other Monk before.
Miyaa
2025-02-05 02:56:06 +0000 UTCI'm gonna assume you mean the TV detective Monk, and NOT Doc Savage's associate, Monk Mayfair.
Joseph Bonnar
2025-02-05 02:55:19 +0000 UTCI was just thinking the SAME THING
Risa Wolf
2025-02-05 02:51:40 +0000 UTCAyo might be meant for something that involves memory recall and good detail observations. Like maybe a private detective in a Monk sort of way.
Miyaa
2025-02-05 02:51:30 +0000 UTCI've never gotten validation from any of my actual jobs. Just eventually someone comes up to me and says "GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!"
Yelling Bird
2025-02-05 02:49:22 +0000 UTCYay or Neigh. (Wow, that's taken on a whole new meaning.)

2025-02-05 02:45:49 +0000 UTCLife has been so stressful lately because *gestures broadly* I'm glad I can still be happy about Ayo getting some sweet, sweet validation.
Kuragari
2025-02-05 02:45:49 +0000 UTCFaye will never stop believing her version of "customer service" is the right one, but she can at least appreciate other modes.

2025-02-05 02:33:56 +0000 UTCBased on the replies here, Jeph could sell some gold star stickers. Maybe with a picture of various QC cast members on each one.

Andrew Mitchell

Michael Steamweed
2025-02-05 02:26:06 +0000 UTCYay is best when their full of tsundere jealousy.
Alcaria Swain
2025-02-05 02:19:14 +0000 UTCInevitably resulting in Yay crashing back in out of pure jealousy. This has much potential for disaster, I approve.

Leslie
2025-02-05 02:14:47 +0000 UTCMost workgroups are better with someone like that. Pro skills are one thing, mix of character / interpersonal balances are another. Wherever I go I strive to become The Baker.

Alcaria Swain
2025-02-05 02:09:28 +0000 UTCYou gotta take your solace where you can find it. Like, for example, in a tray of freshly baked muffins.
BookBeard
2025-02-05 02:08:47 +0000 UTCFaye keeps her sticker sheet hidden so nobody gets too full of themselves. It's full of gold stars which have "tryhard" written on them.
