Negative Influence

What kind of monster doesn't cry at the end of every Vin Diesel movie?

Lessthan

So is your profile pic

Brobot!

Charlie Lawton

Love this layout for a 5-pane comic.

BobC

already trying to break that record for whatever the bug's name was

Lucas Werkmeister

What would be really hilarious is if Yay really is a fan of Christopher, but doesn't want anyone to know. Just like they played it cooooool when meeting Hercules https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4235

Nicolas Demers

Other AI? And humans too, why not?

Nicolas Demers

here's hoping that Yay ensures that Christopher is never heard from again.

Joe

I know I should feel sorry for him, but that's some non-consensual selfie taking right there, so buddy has it coming.

kupo

Press F to pay respects to Christopher. We were together for but one page yet our time together was so sweet.

I am the captian now

Well, that's one approach to polyamory. However, you ought to have that death wish looked at, soon.

Sleepy John

Yeah, they're more of a Peltier device...

Leak

Rip Christopher

Lucy

Oh look, an AI I don't instantly like. It's the oblivious "they heard of me so they must be a fan" that rubs me.

Aleks

Just to break the wall a bit...I don't even understand how an AI "influencer" is even a thing. Who are they "influencing"?

Jim Feldman

I really like it to come home from work and find an E-Mail for the newest QC Strip :)

Krestus

And Christopher was never seen again...

PixelThis

I would have said "Not possible", but ya know what? I think he did.

Joseph Bonnar

I came here to make a thumbnail reference. Thank you. :-)

Mooster

Very well, thank you.

Ohh Crap Guy

How does Christopher's Thumb Cam work?

Scotty

Unleash your inner giant squid, Yay!

Mark

I heard a a hungry allosaurus in the distance

He has no idea how quickly every mention of him can be wiped from the internet...just a Yay eyeblink away....

I don't think Yay should be too worried about that photograph. It's just a thumbnail after all.

Summer Sudbrink

Christopher is blissfully unaware of how close he is to torment beyond imagination and/or utter obliteration. I kinda love him a little bit for that.

Foal Papers

The look on Yay's face is absolutely perfect.

Jp

unwelcome physical contact

ezazel

"Christopher.exe performed an illegal operation and will be terminated."

Leak

Also Melon: Yay's a [REDACTED]. Nobody knows what that is but apparently it's also not a big deal!

Leak

Yay's gonna ship them SO HARD...

Leak

Butt RUBS i believe

Brad Kirkwood

assuming she just doesn't delete Christopher, that hiss can be an annoyed cat or a burning fuse

Brad Kirkwood

Poster next to the door - "Free Butt Hugs"???

Digi

Utterly convinced of their own godhood - considers people as amusing playthings - ostentatiously disdainful but also weirdly needy about companionship... IT'S CATS ALL THE WAY DOWN ...I think Yay is what happened when all the internet's cat memes became sentient. Oh no.

Stephen Wells

Well, I guess the body of this one-off gag strip character that will never show up again will never be found... :P

Leak

Last panel makes me wonder if Yay's core programming is actually based on cats, not people. That would explain a lot.

Stephen Wells

Yay allowing Roko to bully her is so much fun

Somebody Else

Oh my gods I love him

Logan Nix

Roko's smug face in panel 2 is perfection.

Daniel Blom Paulsen

We can only hope

SilverbackRon

Christopher is kind of terrible and I don't think we will miss him after Yay does what Yay is about to do to him.

SilverbackRon

Yay has more than enough power to simply delete Christopher's selfie. Piff, it just simply doesn't exist. Not that Yay couldn't use a more direct method, like removing the offending camera-thumb. Snap, it is no longer attached.

SilverbackRon

Melon and Pintsize must never meet.

Absentia

i don't think Yay's a fan.

Absentia

As a side question, did Jeph make Melon cuter?

Miyaa

Yay is allergic to exposure. Like a Vampire with light. Hence the Hissss...

Jeffrey Henley

He's o r a n g e

RadiusUlna

And then kicking it in the goolies

Todd Ellner

Yellow tank top and Green shorts? Please Christopher…

Daniel Rydberg

omg the Monster Factory reference, I love it

Danielle Church

Where's Crushbot when you need him?

Chris Warren

It’s really hard to say “hiss” without… hissing.

KCkittysnores

Gordon?! Gordon’s too good for him.

KCkittysnores

Ahahah I love imagining an influencer AI. They would be really good at it, presumably, since they could know all the things at any moment, or at least many of them

Chelsea

And into Roko’s luvvvvvvv nest.

KCkittysnores

I just wanna make out with Yay tho

GodsInTheCogs

Yesssss, more himbos. Good, good. Also Yay in the last panel 100% embodies my best friend.

Josh Moberly

Chris deserves everything Yay will do to him.

Miyaa

Oh I hope not.

Miyaa

Well, Melon *did* blow a hole in Roko's ceiling with the volcano model, so it's legit that she might be suspected for this event...

Hugh Eckert

His parents have Monster Factory sprays.

Chloë Salzenberg

Are we about to have a long storyline on the developing romance between Yay and Christopher?

TV4Fun

Hey, Gordon needs love!

William Cole

An Influencer

Nicolas Dao-Phan

An influencer AI 🤣

HillaryGayle

Is this neighbour the impetus for Yay to move out of their pod?

Mad Marie

BTW Yay Hissing still has me chuckling.

Darnel D Cooper

Whelp. Now we see if the evolving into a being of great power but even greater restraint holds. I admit the old Yay probably would have casually dodged the grasp of the unknowing Robo and warned it off directly w/o speaking. The new Yay appears to keep things real-time in deference to Roko and will suffer minor offenses to its sensibilities. Christopher will probably get a pass.

Darnel D Cooper

In my mind, Yay is just saying the word "hiss" rather than making the noise.

Danya Michael

that's a monster factory reference!

Ace of Hearts

I was hoping to see fangs or claws or hair standing straight up or something in that last panel. Hissing is pretty good, though.

Christopher is kind of terrible and I think I love him

Merle Blue

Same Yay

The Bird

Hsssss lol

Jeph doesn't joke around with these names. That guy's name is definitely Christopher Christopher Christopher Chistopher

"... and in today's episode, the role of Doctor Mandible will be played by Christopher"

FE

I can't wait to see how Yay! messes with Christopher in revenge! This gonna be goooooooooood.

Andrew Mitchell

I was thinking the same thing.

Uh...hey...there a reason why Christopher's follower count is now...negative?

Chad Freeman

What’s the odds that Yay can delete themselves from every digital picture that’s taken of them?

Thisguy

he ded

Ray Cornwall

I love Yay

Fart Captor

Next, he attacks Faye while she's standing next to Bubbles. The following strip shows what's left of him as a surprise in Steve's cereal box.

Matt Grayson

I predict Christopher is the first of TWO new characters! Because none of the existing characters could possibly ship with him.

BobC

Yes, for the money we'll never see again.

BobC

Of course, "they" have the power to stop any being in its tracks, but they are reluctant to use such power. We'll see.

Chas Simmons

And that's how Christopher's final post was a post-mortem lesson on consent and personal space!

MiqoRems

Yay, new friends!

Andrew

To borrow a line from elsewhere, "If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention." I can't imagine *anything* good happening to poor shallow Christopher in the next.... well, forever. Thou shalt not mess with the Yay, but he didn't know that, poor soul.

Their* Yay is enby

Grace Kieser

And that's how Christopher's social media accounts got deleted

Ed Marshall

Their vampire sense will go off and a program will erase them from that photo

Kyle Major

🤘🤣🤘

Carrie

Christopher is now an ex-Christopher

MikeT

Hope not.

Matthew Van Gangelen

It has to be feasible

doorbender

Not named “healthy relationship bird” for reasons

doorbender

Ironically I have a new pet peeve.

Matthew Van Gangelen

HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSs Also, Roku's face in the second panel is the best.

Onyx

Dammit. Why am I simping for a Robro?

doorbender

But Yay didn't go 'Woo!' ☹️

Dean Reilly

I'm sure they're just hissing because that's how they prefer to present for Christopher's audience, with which they are familiar.

Thomas Halpin

If he's lucky. If Yay hadn't been softened by hanging out with Roko, Mellon, Elliot, and Hercules his arm probably would have fallen off before it was fully extended.

Andrew L Butula

It’s gonna be a hard sell to make us like Christopher, but we saw Clinton through…

KCkittysnores

Oh no

Dylan T

I was going to make this comment. *tip of the hat* 😂

Christopher needs to learn about personal space, asking, and whether or not he would like to try out Pintsize's old case with all limbs removed

Drazi

I want a thumbcam

David F

OOH! PASTY-BOT IS EVEN SEXIER WHEN THEY'RE PISSED-OFF!

Yelling Bird

Great. A named character. Which means....he's permanent.

Joel Bateman

Christopher unknowingly grabbing the tiger by the tail there.

Runhildr Zaetl

I can't help but hear the above text in the voice of the announcer from the WWE Monster Factory episode. "Christopher... Christopher... Christopher... CHRISTOPHER!"

Or both

Matt Grayson

Oh please! Like they couldn't alter/delete that photo any time they wanted.

Czarzhan

...Sometimes. Maybe.

Bad Jeph! Don’t tell us the names of soon to be deceased entities. We might start caring and 1. Influencer, and (MUCH more important) 2. Made Yay hiss.

Jeremy

The Pebble here is a pretty reasonable dude.

Ariamaki

welp, rip chris

Tamara Macadam

The Liability of being able to spy on everyone with your hand? Edit: Also, if your hand had a mic, it would actually mean something when you tell someone: "Talk to the hand!"

I wouldn't be surprised if Yay doesn't appear in photos. Either that or they just instantly hack & delete everything.

Elberik

Christopher has made a fatal error

Daniel Burnett

I suspect that photo - and much of Christopher's data - will find itself mysteriously corrupted.

Matt Grayson

I am the Bart man now

Jeph Jacques

Omg brobots are my new favorite thing

Emily Jane

And Melon, sweetie, these things happen, you are not to blame.

Michael Boettger

The last panel has me cackling.

Jenea Ylinen Fredrickson

Oh crap! This may be the first time Yay has been photographed. There goes their anonymity.

Michael Boettger

I have the feeling that Christopher will live to regret this moment.

Ted Van Roekel

....I'm currently contemplating the ethical dilemmas that could come from having a Clinton-like cybernetic hand with a camera in my thumbnail. Yep, still would be worth the liability.

Anthony Gaglianese

Get em, Yay!

Mr. Ifrit

There's no need to cry when you've got Family. XD

Phillip Brierley

Don't we all cry at Vin Diesel movies. Right?

Alex Mullenix

The light! It burns us!

Niskara

Take it to the bank boys, this ones just like bart

Hope

Christopher the Ro-Bro.
