I did, too! The wall cracks and rubbish strewn about don't look very VIP. Which, I suppose, is the joke :D

Still can’t get it to zoom. Using patreon app. Will have to try browser I guess.

At first I thought they were stuck in the line outside and had been there so long they hand-made a "VIP Room" sign.

Patreon have made 'improvements'.
Means I have to open the image in a new tab to see everything, but at least that's an option and they don't require one to dig into the dev tools for that - yet.

I could imagine the emissary of the Giant Ai Squid might react unexpectedly fearful or apprehensive regarding the AI Architheutis.

Usually I have to click on the image to 'open' it, then I can zoom in on it. This being the practice both on web or on the iOS app.
If you aren't able to open it that way, there might be something wrong with your browser or app. Might be worth checking extensions or updating your blocklists if you have them (or disable them temporarily and see if it fixes it).

Possibly because its existence only started 20 minutes ago when Yay called to reserve it and the bartender scrounged up a sharpie.
BookBeard
2024-08-19 13:13:47 +0000 UTC
Drinks, cleaning liquid, the sky is the limit. Yay seems to be unperturbed by it, and considering their sensor array, it can’t be that bad, right…?

I look forward to see how they fare with part 2 of the plan: "Befriend the single most friendly person in the club, who actively tries to befriend everyone."
My guess is... that it will be entertaining

The probably-a-condom-wrapper on the floor next to a sanguinary puddle is a bit disturbing (although it could be a puddle of oil of some sort, or even a puddle of rust rather than containing iron compounds in circulatory system fluid).

Off topic…. But why can’t I expand the comic anymore. Sometimes the text is too small and I have to expand it to read but that feature is gone?

The fact that Spookybot consider Moray to be The Cubetown Avatar is wonderfully hilarious. We are in for a treat when they meet!

I bet the personnel at the club is only vaguely aware of its existence.

They would either ADORE or HATE each other xD So hard to decide.
enchantedsleeper
2024-08-19 10:30:19 +0000 UTC
NB pretty sure Yay still uses they/them pronouns, even though there was one strip where Roko used she/her that makes it a bit less clear

Possibly she does know literally everything going on but is still finding it boring because the people she wants to acknowledge her are not acknowledging her.
Brooks Moses

I just can't stop laughing at how much Yay managed to fuck up a plan that literately just was "go to the club"
Bagge
2024-08-19 07:16:25 +0000 UTC
Yay doesn't need to break the law to spy on the main room. Christopher is in there, which means it's probably all being live-streamed anyway.

I love the QC AIs, although they seem exactly like humans with artificial bodies… but how does super stealth hacker Yay sit in the same building as a robot club and not know literally everything going on in the main room? There’s no wireless traffic between all those AIs?? There’s no clubnet? That just seems crazy. Why would they ALL be relying exclusively on audible human speech?
Spike McLarty
2024-08-19 05:30:41 +0000 UTC
What a mood. What an environment. This might be my favorite QC in a long time. And that is saying something, considering all the high quality comics Jeph puts out non-stop.
legobil
2024-08-19 05:20:54 +0000 UTC
Eh, going by the looks of it - if this were a human club, it'd reek of P... D:

I figured she was along for preemptive damage control or at least to be able to start damage control immediately after the damage happened.
Michael Phillips
2024-08-19 02:10:31 +0000 UTC
Didn't Yay make a whole thing out of being surreptitious before arriving and insisting on being seen as a VIP? It's almost like they don't really know _what_ they want...
David Durant

I take it from this that Yay is not too good at recognizing irony yet, even if the irony is not deliberate.

Oil probably.
Thisguy
2024-08-19 01:32:14 +0000 UTC
This strikes me as extremely Culture. In a truly egalitarian society you can be Very Important if you want but others will probably shun you. Love it when Jeph brings back the Banks ❤️

That room really takes me back. I went to bars like that in college, After I graduated I did security for a few entertainers in bars like that, and now my place kinda looks like that.
Yelling Bird

It does seem like they make sure to not have more than one seen outside at once.
Damian

They already did, but Jeph thought it wasn't a Very Important Makeout Session.

If the two of them are going to sit alone in a room, they could have done that at Roko's place, and it would have been cleaner.

2024-08-19 01:09:50 +0000 UTC
And a pittance at a Kinko's for a sign that looks, if not Very Important, at least Important.

Just make a belt from part of the velvet rope and wear it as a portable VIP area.

Yay does have more than one body, yes? Or do they not allow them to leave the house?
Drazi

Seems to me Yay could stay in the room *and* go downstairs.
Rich Holmes
2024-08-19 01:05:20 +0000 UTC
Then again, the whole thing about being a Spookybot is that you don't let anyone know how important you really are.

If they just VACUUMED the VIP room and picked up the trash, it might get more use. Just sayin'.

They should stay a bit longer to be safe and just make out to pass the time
