"Oh, I see. Then everything is wrapped up in a neat little package!" edition

DEUS EX MACHINA

Honestly I ain't even mad.

I thought this comic was about interpersonal, slice-of-life shit. Is that a robot? What the fuck is happening in Questionable Content?

meanwhile, in stabby's OTHER scifi abortion...

I don't understand this setting.

neither does the author

So I don't read this unless it's posted on here.
Did they fuck yet?

nope

The only one getting fucked is Marten.

>What the fuck is happening in Questionable Content?
JJ is financially and emotional dependent on QC yet he's hated it for years, it was just supposed to be a side project while he did music shit, but he was the right empty douchester with the right vapid comic that dropped the right hipster music references, and now it makes him money but the triny to jump through the hoops of his SJW fandom has over burdened his broken lil hipster brain and after stabbing himself in two separate incidences he's been keeping his demons suppressed with ever higher doses of psychiatric drugs, and he's beginning to hit tolerance ceilings.

And it's up in the air whether he likes it or not.

There have been robots from day one. The comic is set in an "alternative present" with much more advanced technology.

With a big tranny dick

mostly he just threw them in as a weeb reference and avoided developing them beyond the cliché tiny lolrandom mascot character that every web comic had in the early 00's because sluggy freelance was their gateway web comic.
till he went through the tranny arc and got lost trying to be dramatic without making his redit followers yell at him.

...

Marten is still a character?

Let's be clear. This is a post singularity setting in which the American human population is on friendly terms with beneficial strong AI, and yet at least one war has been taught with active AI participants (in mechanized armor divisions), yet is never discussed and apparently a secret AI underground power structure that no one, not even other AIs, criminal, or military knows about.

Think of all the interesting stories that could take place in this setting. All the humans that are left are kept in the dark, as the AI controls the world, the wars were actually the culling of populations in Africa, India, China and the ME in an effort to limit human use of Earth's finite resources while AIs ready themselves to strip the planet bar and go interstellar. Humans in America, blissfully ignorant as the AIs control all media and communication.

I'm so happy Jeff Hacks is writing this story about....Fucking nothing.

There's actually a good chunk of post-singularity tech in the background. Hanner's dad pretty much launched the whole thing: Fully realized AIs, nanites, orbital colonies, whole nine yards.

So little of this tech comes into play in lieu of the slice-of-life coffee shop stuff, which is kinda sad. The only time it really comes up is as subtle metaphors for racial issues.

...oh snap. Are you me?

Having some robot apocalypse/uprising thing going on while a group of humans is playing through a slice-of-life VR thing, with hints of what's actually going on cycling in occasionally would actually be interesting. It'd be like the goofiest campaign of Eclipse Phase or something.

He's ascended to demigod now, he refuses to appear in the strips and when he does you can read in his eyes that he knows the truth about this world.

you want JJ to write poorly about interesting shit instead of poorly about nothing at all? that's the opposite of not writing about anything which would be the best case scenario.

...

You should have put a spoiler alert on that.

...

...

I'm a little ashamed that made me smile.

oh wait

faye is unemplyed

i know she has been for a few pages now but it just hit me now that the arc is over

what will she do

Get her job at the coffee shop back.

They're all crashing at Marten's and then they'll eventually get hired somewhere.

Somebody just post the porn of Faye and the Robot.

...

I HOPE TO GOD WE GET BACK TO BRUN SOON

I've been so sick of this robot drama since it started

I bet Jeph doesn't even remember that Brun exists.

okay, now take it back down

based

That is a clockwork orange look if ever I've seen one.

Poor boy's snapped

This is the only reason why I come here, thanks.

Why can't jeph draw that breastplate properly?
You'd think someone that is paid to draw would at least be able to give us some fanservice.

Those fucking dead eyes

I'm not familiar with what you're talking about. I can whip something up real quick tho since it's Valentine's Day...

The this comic even mention hipster music anymore?

It's supposedly vaguely post singularity, but AI are still new enough that society is still adjusting to them, and technology hasn't actually changed much.

So it's kinda like the Marvel Universe setting, where there's really fancy technology being developed by people, but it's generally not been shared much with the world at large.

I need more

No, it's all robot bullshit and pandering to Tumblr with non gender binary demisexual brown girls

Ok

Das it maing.

Can we go back to Memory Tapes and Fiery Furnaces references?

hngg so much better than the source material

Thanks, for whatever reason I like to draw things that nobody else wants to draw.

aww now they can finally be together

based

Please, draw Faye doing maintenance by tightening the bolt in Bubbles' spine frame with a torque wrench, as if she were doing the massage.
"Pop!"
"Yes...that's the spot..."

Here's a quick sketch

you are an American hero


unless you're not

I'm certainly American.

I met him once when I was 16, he barely looked human he was so infinitely defeated

DUDE.
YOU.
ROCK.
HAVE SEX. LOTS OF IT.

Noice

bless you

My pleasure. I also went ahead and toned down the highlights on this pic I made a long time ago

Dude! I'm not saying I don't love your sketches, I actually have a huge art-boner for sketches, but you polished the fuck out of that drawing.
Quick question, were you the one that posted a Shezow sketch wip on the drawthread some time ago?

I saved a few of those

Thanks. here's the drawing before I added the details and such. I think I still have the sketch around somewhere.

Which shezow pic?

>Which shezow pic?
Must of been someone else.
I'm not even the OR, though.

Your Faye has the perfect lips for a footlong or two.

...

Well, I've drawn several shezow pics, but most of the notable ones were drawn by other artists.

...

...

JJ must be patting himself on the back really hard for this

>nazi moon base confirmed
Deus ex machina literally Hitler
Also why is one dusting glass?

JEPH JACKS DOES IT AGAIN

I dunno, why do they have dogs?

in space, nobody can tell them they're good boys

>thank you
>you're welcome

ok i really liked that but who is this guy?
is that hanners dad? i dont remember what hanners dad looks like. i dont remember anything from that space arc except i think marigold almost scored?

That guy is the hologram for Station, the giant sentient space station and one of the most powerful AI in existence.

Except for this random new character that is so super secret, yet says hi to everyone personally to wrap up silly shady deals

has station appeared in any strips since the space arc?

Recently. Hannelore said she'll go talk to Station, then two comics later Station comes back to say it's way beyond his abilities to fix, then two comics later androgynous robot Q pops in to resolve everything.

oh cool thanks

i missed the threads with the first 2 pages and i dont like going to jephs site to give him views

also don't forget he's "trans" on the inside and this mental defect is destroying his psyche

>people on Sup Forums unironically find SJWtumblrdyke-mode faye attractive
this board is the fucking california of Sup Forums
it needs to break off and sink into the ocean

Calling it; Jeph is now pandering to the Anti-Trump crowds to gain new brownie points. Did the same thing with outing Claire when Bruce Jenner came out as a woman and called herself Catlyn.

Girl-Type Robots! Interfacing with each other and not with yooou

But aren't they sisters?

Oh, I think so? Granted, I don't think that's stopped anime and fan artists before. They also interface with three dude bots to become Bootleg Godmars.

What about not c3po? Anyone want to interface with her?

>that feel when the porn parodying the comic has more heart, better art and is funnier than the real strip.

because r34 artists who do it for fun enjoy it, JJ Hates the comic and himself.
