Out Of Hibernation

Agatha needs to... no, I can't say it or Jeph won't do it.

FunkyTuba

Not noticable except in profile (see Millefeule in #4211).

but irregardless is a word... even if it does mean the same as regardless https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/is-irregardless-a-real-word-heh-heh

Irregardless is not a word. Just 'regardless' is what you need.

Nick Hodgson

Love Agatha already!

George Wilson

More Agatha! (please)

Douglas E. Smith

listen. robots can do anything they want with their face irregardless of the rules of material design. let them do what they want

Valk

That's just the shape of her face, and sideways-anime-mouth is new too

Dustin

In panel 1 and panel 6 Beeps has a nose. What gives?

Philip D Jones

GIANT ROBOT BEAR 2020. hell, it beats anything else in the running!!

Joe

hellooooooo Agatha!!

Joe

It's obviously *not* the emu, because that's standing behind Beeps.

Some Ed

Don't you mean...*bear*acter? :D Or even "bear-arctur". Double pun, quadratic fun!

Clarence the Liar

But is it REALLY Agatha? Or is the the emu, in disguise!??!? I have no idea why that popped into my head, but I figured I'd share it with you all.

Alex Borders

I love Agatha!

Allison Hastings

The bear and the maiden fair?

Zach Elwyn

AHhhhhh! Agatha is adorable. I'm in love.

I love Agatha and want her to do well in her aspirations.

Merle Blue

Jeph...how long have you been waiting to introduce Agatha?

Dev

I feel like bubs and Agatha would make for the perfect hug....

Typical, 95% of comments are "OMG cute robo bear!!!: Am I the only one who wants to know what she is custodian of? Is it the building, like landlord? Is it the money that they get? Or is it just custodian as in janitor? Or am I just confused because I associate the word 'custodian' more with the phrase 'legal custodian' than I do with just 'cleaner'.

Thisguy

I'm pretty sure Claire could only bearly contain her excitement about Agatha.

Nice to meet you, Agatha

Kherbellos

Now Roko should offer Yaaaaaay a job.

I want to see Bubbles wrestle Giant Robot Bear!

it might be redundant but maybe Crushbot could help May out? If he's still insured.

jimbo

Beats the alternative

Jon Guyer

Giant Robot Bear shirt, oh pretty please!

Scrimmy Scrim

I think she want to solve the actual problem that is the lack of budget for felon AI with no shortcuts, so politics it is

Ariel Rosenfeld

Agatha may be a bit large for a human, but as bears go, she's actually a bit on the small side, not giant.

awgiedawgie

Does she write mystery webcomics?

awgiedawgie

Hello big cuddle bear!

So, tomorrow Roko takes Agatha along to that bureaucrat. Bureaucrat confesses everything, May gets her new chassis, and all is well in the world?

Lars Gottlieb

This new character gives me paws for thought

Autistic Observer

Remember folks, bears do look cuddly even during swiftly switching your organs form "internal" to "external", kindly assisting you in shuffling off this mortal coil. A custodian has to preserve and care, after all. :)

Ye Olde Phart

Hopefully Agatha also gets the peanut butter treatment on Jeph's twitter

Hello Agatha!

Igor Mosyagin

I wonder if Agatha knows Scruffy...

Ernie O'Dell

boooooooo

LH

Does the bear eat sandwiches and escaped from a robot zoo? Has the bear and Penelope met before?

Miyaa

She does, doesn't she?

Joseph Bonnar

I thought the position of cute cuddly giant AI in QC was already taken...

Don't worry about Agatha. Once you're used to her, it's like she's bearly even there.

John Fiala

Now I am completely living for Agatha meeting Bubs

Yuu Yi

I have a good feeling about Agatha, folks.

Thomas Halpin

Of course! Agatha is you, the life size teddy bear, no?

Michael Boettger

Hello, Agatha, hello!

Hugh Eckert

Jeph trying to compete with the Jedi Wookie...

Chuck Dee

Joseph Bonnar

Bagge

Custodian of what?

Thisguy

Ashley Thomas

OMG I love Giant Robot Bear!!!!

David Perez

Is her name Agatha Grizzlie?

Jon

Agatha may be my new favourite character!

LifeSizeTeddyBear

Fine. I'll die for the fridge

and Hulk? Smash.

Brian Leahy

Agatha is too sexy. Why so over sexualized. Too porny. /s

Oh, hey Agatha.

Edward Clayton Andrews

Hi Agatha!!!

BeatButton

His name was originally Nelson, but Jeph forgot and messed up the name.

Grace Kieser

I HAVE A NEW FAVORITE CHARACTER

EnterTheHero

Nobody knows custodians exist. It's great but also bullshit.

Bear hugs It was right. there.

R L

Hello giant robot bear!

drone r0m-3

Yonatan Zunger

What about Fridge?

Captain Button

I don’t wanna be dramatic or anything, but I would die for Agatha.

The spider AI that worked at the placement service that Marten met Pintsize.

Czarzhan

I thought his name was Arthur, not Nelson. Did I miss something?

Agatha is my new favourite character, thanks.

Samantha Yeaman

I hope Agatha gives good hugs to those who want them

KingAtticus

OTOH, bubbles has someone to work out with now!

Michael Boettger

I want Agatha to be my new best friend.

Celine Chamberlin

I think I like her now.

Joel Bateman

Great, someone else for me to fall in love with. Just what I need.

Giant robot bear, huh? Well that's a first. Don't recall ever seeing AI animals, have we?

Michael Boettger
