It's Happened Before

Wikipedia: "An affogato /ˌɑːfəˈɡɑːtəʊ/, /ˌæfəˈɡɑːtəʊ/ or more traditionally known as "affogato al caffe" is an Italian coffee-based dessert. It usually takes the form of a scoop of semisoft cheese-flavored or vanilla gelato or ice cream topped or "drowned" with a shot of hot espresso." Me: Um, cheese-flavored gelato? WTF?

Ursus Ridens

Tonight's Episode: Hugenormous solar eruption causes the robots to freeze up for a few hours (except, of course, the mil-spec Bubbles, who was designed to survive tactical EMP), leaving the humans to sort things out in the streets during the subsequent widespread blackout. Oh wait...

Panel three gave me *feels*....

Rykka Maddox

Mr Burny's behavior is proportional to the quality and sincerity of the offerings you make to it...

David Howe

No, but Faye plans a spoiler and flame decals...

David Howe

"Wait, why is there suddenly a vacancy again?"

David Howe

Possibly the usual aversion of CoD to Starbucks abominations, or just they are out of vanilla ice cream?

David Howe

Agreed! (Although the crop top might not be sufficient armor in the event of an exploding espresso incident)

Mad Marie

It's a coffee shop, not a dessert bar. Also there's spiders in the ice-cream, probably?

Pete

They only accept payment in the form of Nitrous Oxide.

Cogspace

Oh that is affogato priced “NO”. Why is affogato “NO”?

Patrick Crutchley

It's only fun in the comix...

I feel jilted. In all the years I've used my CoD coffee mug, I've never had a coffee maker explode. I'm missing out on the full CoD experience.

awgiedawgie

(Takes a sip from many-years-old CoD coffee cup) Sigh...

Not saying it has to happen. But the jump in CoD strips lining up with the recent uptick in coffee shop with breast milk memes on Twitter gives a great opportunity for any CoD versions with Dora berating someone for asking for it. Or “Mommy Milkers 420” embracing it.

I miss Penny and Raven. Haven't seen them in a loooong time.

Tim Keating

I think they did, sort of, but it disappeared into another dimension.

Jim Feldman

sometimes i really want more of an artsy-manual job where i can where jeans+docs+crop top... business clothes are so uncomfy...

Hopefully I got the right link here: https://youtu.be/AO3wvsnunJk

Pooga

It just says “talk to Bubs”

Gary Walker

Damn I miss scenes here. Happy you wrote these Jeph!

*sees bottom item on the board* How much for good advice?

Cynical Tea Drinker

Sudden flashback to when most of the webcomic took place in this coffee shop 😌

Kristina

About yay times?

Leak

It MIGHT not happen

Bagge

This is a pretty funny thing for her to be nonchalant about given what a disaster it was last time back when Faye worked there

Lucretiel

I'm kind of surprised that CoD doesn't have an AI coffee machine as a regular character.

OldGoat

This is one of those clues to ask what happened to the last guy, isn’t it.

Andrew

I thought Bubs was going to rebuild that

Jim Feldman

Having the espresso machine redecorate your face is a Coffee of Doom rite of passage.

Gotta admire Jeph’s commitment to the pintucks.

KCkittysnores

In storyline, how often HAS the coffee machine exploded?

Ray Cornwall

Don't you mean EXPRESS...no wait, I see what you did there

OR PEOPLE

Rich Holmes

It is such a cute outfit!

Bruce Steinberg

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? SINCE WHEN DOES THIS COMIC HAVE A COFFEE SHOP IN IT?

Yelling Bird

I've had a coffee machine espress its dissatisfaction with how I was operating it...

BobC

If we assume the upgrades Raven installed hold true to our current understandings of quantum super-positioning then there is a non-zero chance of that happening.

Theory, Dora's current outfit wasn't originally black

"This has all happened before... and it will happen again."

Pejo

I wonder if the dinosaur espresso machine will make a comeback.

Jackie Horn

Knowing this group, various appliances being capable of spontaneously exploding seems fairly reasonable. Valid concerns like this are why I have a particular bumper sticker on my car:"I don't WANT you to get hurt, I just want to be there when you do."

Anthony Gaglianese

And it'll happen again!

Vilinda

Clearly she replaced it with a brand new one... that explodes!

Andrew Mitchell

Is that the last time we saw Penelope, aka Pizza Girl’s twin sister?

Miyaa

I expect the spider population has had time to regenerate by now, as well.

Leaflemming

Love to see Claire taking a job there, I've missed the coffee shop!

Seidmadr

Pretty sure the gunpowder adds flavor

Ting

Technically IF isn't a lie, it's a vague understatement!

But she replaced that explodey machine when Faye was still "dating" Sven!

Grace Kieser

*maybe* dora should invest in a better, less explosive espresso machine???

Violet Elizabeth

. . . Nope. It's WHEN. https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1258

It's not if it happens it's when it happens is a common theme in many jobs

Michael

Don't forget the face shield as well.

Michael Boettger

It's all been dOoOone before!
