Yelling Bird 2.0

I do not miss Yelling Bird at all. Padma though. I do miss Padma.

bring back yelling bird

borkkorb

what kind of institutions do your friends work at Jeph; post docs are much comfier, this is grad student work. Then sam would get yelled at for not already knowing to get coffee and missing a learning opportunity

Man, they really need something more comfortable than that table if they're going to keep getting walk-ins for lower body repairs. So far we've seen a dodgy ankle, a ... missing butt ... and a broken leg, and they all just gotta perch awkwardly on a tiny workbench?

Somebody Else

No, Rokwinsom.

Joseph Bonnar

Panel 4, Sam obviously recognizes Faye’s expression should be categorized under “13 seconds from Grim.”

Bill Hall

EMUS ARE FUCKIN SCRAPPY, MAN

Dylan T

Five bucks says "the gentleman" disappears within a week but "greenie" becomes a regular character as part of the gradual roboticization of QC. Or so one can hope anyway.

Rich Holmes

Yelling bird was stupid. It was awesome.

Daryl Sawyer

No Yelling Bird? Aw, Dammit. :(

Churchill (formerly TeaBear)

Someone <i>did</i> comment on her blushing... about 6 hours before you did. No one else really felt a need to after that one.

awgiedawgie

Hahahaha...I would say you're overthinking it, but Sam DOES have a way to just FALL into trouble.

Shawn K. Younkin

I get the impression the Jeph universe is one where robots can be anatomically correct in all ways but lack a nose for stylistic reasons. I'm sure there is a version of pintsize that is able to do the things pintsize wants to do.

"If that model has no nose, I am curious what it *does* have that would warrant privacy..." oh, yes, a *preference*. A sense of embarrassment (well represented, btw.) That would do it. Obviously, anatomy isn't really the point. It's just common courtesy, and not for someone else to decide.

Uhh, yeah that's a broken leg alright *shudder*

James Dore

Greenie is upset because she’s wearing oil-stained underwear. Should have listened to Mom....

Sleepy John

Sending Sam out on her own with a riled stealth emu in the area seems like a bad idea.

Dean Reilly

Why no one comments about the green bot's blush in panel two? Of course it could be just because they don't want to undress here, but on the other hand - Bubbles makes a very intense impression on other AIs, that's for sure.

Evgeniy Semyonov

It's right there, don't you see it?!

But... where is the Emu?

Bagge

Hope Sam and Winslow meet while Sam gets coffee

Daniel Burnett

Nothing could scare me more than the second coming of Yelling Bird. I'm still reeling from some of those tweets, Jeph!

Well.... he DOES seem a little interested, but... What about Winslow? He seemed just a little intrigued by her while they were bonding over emu listening skills....

Kerin Schiesser

I need to mention this: If the green bot stays in the strip long enough to become a regular, who do we ship her with? Her coffee drinking friend?

Joseph Bonnar

ugh I love the characters in this comic so much I can hardly handle it. &lt;3

Creepy Cat Lady

The real intern "game" is to give them only $5 for $8 in beverages.

BobC

Broken, or bent. I'm assuming it's some kind of metal alloy. I just flashed on Bub's removing the dermal cover and muscle analog material, taking a torch to it, heating it cherry red, then straightening it - all while the patient looks on and someone (Sam perhaps?) swoons.

OldGoat

And if you want a little humour, and maybe a reason or two to envy/pity/ignore any postdocs you may know, check out this article: https://www.sciencemag.org/careers/2013/11/postdoc-special-kind-hell

awgiedawgie

And I like how in the second panel, her leg does indeed appear to be broken. Bubbles may need to remove her trousers using scissors.

awgiedawgie

I am now curious how the shop is actually laid out, and how much privacy it affords the, um... patients. I mean, when they first moved in, wasn't it little more than one big open room?

awgiedawgie

Good catch. Yes, she was.

awgiedawgie

The emu is Yelling Bird's Final Form.

Hugh Eckert

I'm glad it wasn't Yelling Bird.

Andrew Mitchell

Was she in a skirt earlier?

Pat

That is one of the best fucking things I have ever read!! Hahahahahah!!! Thanks for that.

Shawn K. Younkin

LOL- the guys realization that....yes, I need to leave for this, coffee WOULD be good.

Shawn K. Younkin

We were called schlepps.

Matt Grayson

Bubbles in panel 2... 😍

They are now in a wacky mismatched buddy movie, "Emu On The Run."

Captain Button

nice fakeout with the title, there, Jeph

Matt

Emus don't muck around. We in Australia had a war with them once… and they won. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_War

Pat Allan

I love how the Android lady blushes at the notion of removing her pants, and Faye gets her assistant out of the room. LOL

Andrea Andrew

millenial interns represent

SpookyPenguin

I was so sad when there was no yelling bird. I miss yelling bird so much 😭

Arraine Siefert

Also, I am curious what effect the tea will have on her in this state.

Erin Hartshorn

I was actually expecting Yelling Bird.

Scott Vogel

He's waiting outside, keeping the bird out of trouble. (She's fine with him: He's not /studying/ her.)

Czarzhan

Winslow didn’t come with them? Or is he still talking to the emu? … Maybe the emu kicked her because she tried to move the emu away from Winslow?

Erin Hartshorn

The thing about the emu strike was that she never saw it coming.

Czarzhan

The Emu Strikes Back? A thread to our softest boi?

Max D S

Wait, where was Winsliw when this happened?

Michael Boettger

I've never seen a place where intern isn't pronounced "gopher" 😛

gatherer818

AND THEN THEY FU- wait

Joel Bateman

The Emu strikes back!
