What's that? Sorry, I didn't hear you. I'm toner-deaf.

BobC

Remember, many robots are sponsored into society with human friends. You never know when your embarrassingly biological roommate might come along and need to use the facilities, right?

Kerin Schiesser

Um, why is there a restroom in that place? Didn't know 'bots need to.., ahh, expel fluids 'n stuff..

The Broken Nomad

I assumed it was about needing to put in the toner cartridge, and the implications in a world where any machine might be sentient. That’s what prompted my joke above.

Clifton Royston

PC Load Letter? What does that even mean?

Trigon Manthree

Pint size would squat on the paper and extrude documents. PDF = poop dis file.

Sleepy John

Yeah, I'm a little confused by that myself... Anyone here have any insight into that?

Let me guess, they are going to have to fax the paperwork.

Bruce Steinberg

Robot, again, *you have the Internet in your head*. Look up the instructions.

Daryl Sawyer

Seriously, they all need to learn how to install a Gorham toner cartridge. You can't get a damn thing done when dealing with the government without filing forms in hardcopy.

Nemo of Utopia

you don't have to turn it off. just turn it on ...

Joe

Considering May's recent events/exploits in the comic...

RobertC

It looks like a black and white printer so obviously any joke about it will be off color.

Summer Sudbrink

Stop lookin' up my can.

Derrik Pates

I really like the off-white color on the printer that really signifies it’s old age.

Daniel Rydberg

I am obtuse. What is going on with the text at the bottom? "I'm going to fuck the printer." Huh?

Is that before or after you turn it off and on?

Daniel Rydberg

Printsize!

Edmund Schweppe

To be fair, installing a toner cartridge can be quite the task.

Erik Hawkinson

I am actually surprised that there isn't an anthro PC that just poops or vomits up documents.

Grant Swire

If you're not printersexual, it's really difficult to put a toner cartridge into a printer that's loudly moaning "OH YES SLIDE IT IN DEEPER."

Clifton Royston

Why else would it be called paperwork?

Bagge

We've all worked with that person.

Bagge

Ok. It is time. NELSON!

Joseph Bonnar

An AI-run office, and the paperwork is *actually* on paper??

Czarzhan

Beepatrice rumblings intensifying

Magic Chopstick Games

lp0 on fire

Huntokar

So far I'm pretty sure Beepatrice is the only other employee we've met. Are there any other confirmed employees?

Mitchell Sealy

This is our printer, Dot. Dot Matrix.

J.M. Hall

Flashback to the Family Ties episode with the talking camera... "Load film now"

Kajsa Anderson

Obviously an older printer. If it had an AI in it, it would tell you how.

Michael Boettger

Are we sure that printer’s name isn’t Dot?

Summer Sudbrink

Also, do either of you speak postscript?

Andrew

"Jeph, you promised never to post that!"

Andrew

I'm getting the distinct impression that Roko will wind up in charge of this whole operation just by being the only competent one of the bunch...

GearaDoga

Her withering look in the first panel gives me the impression she KNOWS we all saw her ass and she's not impressed.

Samantha Yeaman

better get used to that pose in the last panel May, you're gonna be doing that a lot

LH

... This is some kind of bizarre Turning Test, isn't it? Trying to find out if there's intelligent life out there by seeing how you can drive it mad.

z

Always use protection when installing a toner cartridge.

Dean Reilly

I'm guessing they've never had a client before.

Gary Walker

I don't feel like I understand this one

Alcaria Swain

Call Crushbot, that printer needs to be crushed.

Miyaa

Oh my god....
