Some webcomics are good. Some are bad. Some feature horrible people. Others feature good people, but balance it out by having horrible things happen to them.
Which are which is a judgement best left to the reader.
Questionable Content
Zlata is technically correct, the best kind of correct (particularly for the job she's after).
couple of questions for jj
1. how do the glasses stay on her face without a nose
2. why would a robot need glasses
1. Magnets!
2. Cuteness!
edit: Actually I do like the image of a noseless robot looking at themselves in the mirror after waking up in that body for the first time and thinking that something's missing from their face, then settling on glasses being the solution.

When I first saw her I assumed they were a tattoo.
But yeah, seeing as they're movable, magnets seem like the answer.

I would question why she's moving the glasses. I've made that move before when I wear glasses, it's because they're uncomfortable just that little bit or out of focus and I'm readjusting their position. Why would a robot need to do either?
Imitating humans, the same reason they do anything.
It's like Data taking a noticeable breath in before speaking, even though he doesn't breathe.
Pretty sure he has an emulation of a vocal tract rather than a synthesiser. I mean he can drink too so there’s gotta be a pipe in there somewhere, might as well be a useful one. Also he appears incapable of speech when his head is separated from his body, but that could be an energy conservation thing.
how many times you folks gonna ask why a QC robot is acting like a human
As many times until JJ decides if they're actually robots or just humans in metal bodies instead of flipflopping in between trying to have it both ways by trying to handwave AI shenanigans that are kooky if they're robots that can swap shells at will but utterly horrifying if they're people with defined senses of self.

you must accept QC for what it is and not what you desire it to be
I will accept QC if it becomes a sitcom about making a coffee shop for robots and what purpose does that possibly serve. And not until then.
We already know that; the complex organic molecules that boil off of tea and coffee cause their crude olfactory processors to glitch out and cause hallucinations and other mood altering effects. Even Bubbles’s mil spec bomb sniffing apparatus can be overwhelmed like this.
Basically it’s a drug den but more genteel.

So pretty much exactly like a coffee shop for humans (especially the earliest ones).
Wasn't Walky's mom the one blaming Amber for her dad going on a kidnap & murder spree to get her out of college, so wanted her punished by kicking her out of college? Presenting her might actually be enough get him out of his mom's good graces.

Walky makes a good point. Cartoon villains are usually entertaining.

Also kitty.

The biggest downside to deleting my Twitter account is that I no longer have access to the Cagle Cats
They only had one place it was shipped from California and it was 80 dollars for the cheapest package

I wonder how long it'll take to wander off the main sequence and whether it will end up going (super)nova.
