should've sent a card

If Spookybot wanted to be friends with ME, I would be running so hard and so fast that all RINCEWIND would see of me would be my back vanishing into the distance...

Y’know, I think Spookybot wants to be friends.

Matt Grayson

My € k€y is totally m€ss€d up :(

I've decided to also speak in square speech bubbles. This is harder than I had anticipated.

And then Steve’s smooth collies attack Spookybot & defeat them by their pointy elements and their shocking cuteness.

Miyaa

Fay and Bubbles should be there any moment now.

Sleepy John

BoTh ArE bRoKeN...

We have some evidence that Spookybot isn't as much of an ass as they pretend to be... and given their multiple bodies, that use of a non-gendered pronoun got kinda weird.

Mark

Excuse me, Mr. Jacques? Don't keyboards have *two* shift keys?

Evelyn

(Except 30 days of AOL)

Adam Friedlander

So they can dream of electric sheep :)

Andrew

I still wonder; why do AIs need to sleep?

Andrew Armstrong

I see what you did there

Rudolph Gerber

Spookybot's posterior motive is clearly that they just want to see the butt emblem

Fart Captor

I think she does it when she's stressed out and angry

Fart Captor

Why does Roko let her accent slip when spookybot is around?

Dylan T

Narrator: Spookybot didn't skip all the smug oratory.

Bagge

next comic: spookybot watching through the window while Steve eats cereal.

There are multiple Spookybots. Perhaps some are earlier models with the AI "accent" or vibe or whatever the square actually represents.

Verteiron

Will SpookyBot talking in rectangular speech bubbles now be canon?

Paul Britt

I trust Spookybot(s) about as far as I could kick The Rock, which is to say, NOT AT ALL. My spideysense is tingling.

Denise Webber

More like ASSthetic amirite

Imppala

Or it could be him trolling us all. That would be cool, too. :)

I just realized that the reason Jeph took this swing on the arc might just be this: Roko is a strong person who has been through some rough times. Her interaction with Spookybot (who is NOT a nice person at all, at all) might server to remind both us AND her how strong she really is.

Some things I never want to know, Rich, and the answer to your question would be MANY of them. :)

Nothing comes for free...

MikeT

I would hope so... After all, Spookybot has that EVIL DROID reputation to uphold.

This raises the question of what do Spookybot have on their butt

Rich Holmes

I suspect an ulterior motive. If this was a real sympathy visit, Spookybot would have brought a gift.

Dean Reilly

Spookybot is so amazing and has an amazing sense of style.

Raven Razor

Image seems to be broken on Patreon?

Joshua Thomas

Something tells me what's coming next is a job offer.

Spookybot has Dora hair!

Ted Van Roekel

Pretty sure Spookybot is a they.

Ted Van Roekel

Aw that makes me happy

Brian

Wait, why is Spooky Bot speaking in square bubbles now? They used to speak in round bubbles.

JD

For them, polite and sensitive!

Matt Grayson

I think we just got trolled lol

Leona

Okay, what are they *really* here for?

Giant Speck

Have you turned it off and on again?
