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?

2019-06-14 15:19:33 +0000 UTCI have no idea if she would be really good or really bad at it. I'm pretty sure t wouldn't be in between.

Michael Boettger
2019-06-14 01:12:29 +0000 UTCBeepatrice 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
2019-06-13 22:13:51 +0000 UTCWhich one? Roko? Beepatrice? Or May?
Joseph Bonnar
2019-06-13 17:20:18 +0000 UTCStory 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,

2019-06-13 16:52:51 +0000 UTCSometimes, that really is all it takes.

2019-06-13 16:50:50 +0000 UTCbureaucracy montage? waiting in line and filling write only forms in triplicates?
Ariel Rosenfeld
2019-06-13 16:50:35 +0000 UTCTo be fair, the odds that May would have tried the "asking nicely" option without being prompted are effectively zero :)

2019-06-13 13:14:21 +0000 UTCSame. Exactly what I needed first thing this morning.
Dilemma01
2019-06-13 13:13:25 +0000 UTCGiven 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.

Nemo of Utopia
2019-06-13 09:03:16 +0000 UTCOr maybe this is Roko's unsubtle way of saying she wants to give Beep a Sombra Boop?
Andrew
2019-06-13 07:45:13 +0000 UTCBeeps... 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.

SpookyPenguin
2019-06-13 06:33:56 +0000 UTCIt's okay. It's physically impossible for May to ask nicely, so she needed Roko's help in that anyway.

2019-06-13 05:59:57 +0000 UTCAsk her about her job, ask her about her job, ask her about her job
Bagge
2019-06-13 05:19:25 +0000 UTCBe fair May - you would never think of it yourself.
Bagge
2019-06-13 04:59:01 +0000 UTCI 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
2019-06-13 04:49:09 +0000 UTCSo, wait, has this organization helped anyone yet? Ever?
Thomas Halpin
2019-06-13 04:37:28 +0000 UTCWait. 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!

2019-06-13 03:23:14 +0000 UTCMay, it's not just about asking nicely. It's about <i>the right people</i> asking nicely.

2019-06-13 02:51:14 +0000 UTCYou mean Roko? IIRC, it's an AI rights advocacy group.

Thisguy
2019-06-13 02:44:21 +0000 UTCIf May had her way it'd be a Fighter Jet.
2019-06-13 02:26:35 +0000 UTCI 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)
2019-06-13 02:23:35 +0000 UTCShe 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
2019-06-13 02:12:04 +0000 UTCOh 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
2019-06-13 02:06:11 +0000 UTCThat look on May's face in the last panel, along with her line, made me laugh SO HARD.
Czarzhan
2019-06-13 02:05:05 +0000 UTCThere 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.

Magic Chopstick Games
2019-06-13 01:46:51 +0000 UTCYes, but she DOES hide it well. An example: Except for May (and Momo) Dale and Marigold wouldn't be together.
Joseph Bonnar
2019-06-13 01:46:20 +0000 UTCIs May capable of being nice?

Bill Hall
2019-06-13 01:42:56 +0000 UTCThis 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
2019-06-13 01:36:48 +0000 UTCIβm just looking forward to seeing May in a new chassis.
Populuxe
2019-06-13 01:34:19 +0000 UTCShe 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.

2019-06-13 01:33:47 +0000 UTCLmao, oh May. If all you had to do was ask ...
Gordon Johnson
