A Dime A Dozen

Is there a twist coming up? Roko was forced to change bodies and hated it. Will May be similarly reluctant? Sure, maintenance could be cheaper but still - a new body?

Brian Leahy

Morgan Freeman: It was not, in fact, all it takes.

Trigon Manthree

I have no idea if she would be really good or really bad at it. I'm pretty sure t wouldn't be in between.

Bagge

Oh, I'd completely forgotten that sequence! Thanks.

A side gig for May?

Michael Boettger

Beepatrice probably isn't the one to talk to in that department. Somebody break out their heavy gun: NELSON! https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3954

Joseph Bonnar

Which one? Roko? Beepatrice? Or May?

Joseph Bonnar

Story ends with Roko agreeing with May: having experienced incompetence and corruption both in the police and in the ostinsible help organization, she concludes that everything and everyone do, in fact, suck,

Daryl Sawyer

Sometimes, that really is all it takes.

Daryl Sawyer

bureaucracy montage? waiting in line and filling write only forms in triplicates?

Ariel Rosenfeld

To be fair, the odds that May would have tried the "asking nicely" option without being prompted are effectively zero :)

David Howe

Hey jeph :3 I can do the indexed listing of all comics make a nice link page with places and characters people can browse through and story arcs it'll be funnnnn

Same. Exactly what I needed first thing this morning.

Dilemma01

Given current dynamic Roko will either leave or get in charge of this whole group. Either way it can help her with a) getting better understanding of her life goals, and even b) her BDD. Oh, and I hope May will get her "bomb rack" either way.

Evgeniy Semyonov

I love Rokos change in facial expression from panel 2 through 4 😂

Daniel Rydberg

The right people asking the other right people nicely*

Daniel Rydberg

oh my gosh I love every character here SO MUCH.

Creepy Cat Lady

Oh my god will it EVER!

Nemo of Utopia

Or maybe this is Roko's unsubtle way of saying she wants to give Beep a Sombra Boop?

Andrew

Beeps... Has NEVER actually DONE any of this before... Has she. This entire organization hasn't ever done this before... Have they. Oh, boy. This will be interesting to watch, at the very least.

GearaDoga

i loled

SpookyPenguin

It's okay. It's physically impossible for May to ask nicely, so she needed Roko's help in that anyway.

ASK THE WOMAN ABOUT HER JOB

Dylan T

Ask her about her job, ask her about her job, ask her about her job

Bagge

Be fair May - you would never think of it yourself.

Bagge

I would be so happy if they just ask nice and the person was like "what you should have been out of that temp body months ago!"

Kyle Major

So, wait, has this organization helped anyone yet? Ever?

Thomas Halpin

Wait. I think I can predict the future: Roko is wearing a "beep Boop" shirt. And just introduced May to Beepatrice. She must have a sister Boopatrice. That's my prediction!

BobC

I want May to get the biggest bondonhonkaroos

A sheep

May, it's not just about asking nicely. It's about <i>the right people</i> asking nicely.

awgiedawgie

You mean Roko? IIRC, it's an AI rights advocacy group.

awgiedawgie

After 5 weeks of screaming.

Thisguy

If May had her way it'd be a Fighter Jet.

I have to say, one of the things I find most interesting about QC is robot culture. I bet if May had her way, her new body would include a generous amount of silicone...

Nobilis Reed (personal)

She asked...just not nicely lol. And who can blame her--it's hard to be nice when THERE IS A GIANT HOLE IN YOUR FACE AND YOUR ARM IS OFF.

Danya Michael

Oh my...is our angry blue robot about to get a chassis upgrade? Will Beep and Roko succeed in their jobs? Will Roko ever feel comfortable in her new body? Find out next time on Dragon Ba.....I mean, Questionable Content!

Joel Bateman

That look on May's face in the last panel, along with her line, made me laugh SO HARD.

Czarzhan

There was some strip at some point that asked that question. Clinton was at a sitdown restaraunt and his AI companion stepped away to the washroom. He asked his google glasses what an AI would be doing in the washroom but it's implied that all that popped up was nasty nasty porn.

Mitchell Sealy

I don't remember what she does for work now. What is her new job?

Alphones Armorman, suitperson

Question: do AIs use the restroom? And if so, how does Crushbot find a toilet sturdy enough to withstand him?

Miyaa

Red = Firary Yellow = Sunny Blue = Angry?

Miyaa

I'm feeling the rumblings of an "uh oh" with Beepatrice :\

Magic Chopstick Games

Yes, but she DOES hide it well. An example: Except for May (and Momo) Dale and Marigold wouldn't be together.

Joseph Bonnar

Is May capable of being nice?

drone r0m-3

May is fixin’a rage quit ...

Bill Hall

This body has enough problems that I don't think she'd stay in it just to please a sexual partner. The battery thing has been compared to some pretty severe human medical conditions. If you were living with Narcolepsy and somebody offered you a cure, but then that boy you boinked last friday said it made you less sexy, would you continue passing out at odd intervals just to please him?

Mitchell Sealy

I’m just looking forward to seeing May in a new chassis.

Populuxe

She did ask her case worker to pay for her repairs earlier. Her arm had fallen off making her work very difficult, and they still said it was a no go.

Mitchell Sealy

Lmao, oh May. If all you had to do was ask ...

Gordon Johnson

be fair, May, it's not like that would ever occur to you!

Matt

The Three Primary Personalities, shown by the three Primary Colours!

Mike de Jong

I suspect that will not be all it takes.

Sam Johnson

And so begins with the AI power hour!

Andrea Andrew

Start by looking for the Standards of Work (or whatever the local equivalent is). Usually, you can find the first steps to go from there.

z

Cue May getting a new body, Sven telling her he liked the old one just fine, and wacky hijinks to find the old one before it gets processed for disposal.

Benzy

Well at least she's very cute and I love her, so she's got that much going for her

Fart Captor

I'm sorry but Beepatrice is just the BEST name ever.
