This one's got a surprising dip in likes -- I suspect it's cuz of some tech glitch in delivery, but also --- maybe the turnaround does not resonate with the people having similar issues (true for me, I'm sorry to say) ?

Peter Jensen

This storyline and particularly this page has some really great faces.

Solomon Garland

That's what weed is for! And the next day she'll be back to normal...

enchantedsleeper

It needs to have a little motif of Ragemode Liz by it.

enchantedsleeper

I only saw today's comic so I thought we went from headpats to "good talk". Then I checked the main site and realised I'd missed a strip.

enchantedsleeper

What about "The Burnout Bar"? Employing solely burned-out baristas. Though, that's a little sad for Marten xD

enchantedsleeper

I think she's wondering if Liz is going to turn green and grow massive.

fx_in_mind

I love this insight.

Carl G Knoblock

It's the first one where she doesn't look angry or bored.

Ye Olde Phart

Spite is such a great fuel, ecofriendly and 200% renewable!

Thisguy

Oh good. It wasn’t just me.

Okay, little gremlin woman, you just said something I thoroughly admire. POINTS.

Doc Gumby

Vulnerable, she looks!

Or maybe she finished with it. I mean, there are some projects that can only be taken so far, and then it's this thing that you've made. I mean, on the one hand one has projects like Wolfram Mathematica, which has been used by its creator in many additional wonders. And on the other hand, you have things like Conway's Life, which doesn't feel like it has the same potential. Sure, there have been a lot of people who have made a lot of interesting patterns with it, but it's not exactly a spring board for anything else.

Love the surprised look on Iris' face in panel 3. It's the first time she's been put on the back foot in a long time.

Some Ed

Wow, looks I like got into the job market just in time. When they hired me, they were just looking for 24 year olds with college diplomas and 50 years of experience. I was fortunate enough to find one that was grudgingly willing to accept a 25 year old with the ability to snow their interviewers. To be clear, I gave confident, incorrect answers that they did not know were wrong. That said, they were also answers to questions that were leading into sections rather than important in their own right, and while I could have probably handled those sections just fine, being able to skip them gave me more time to figure out answers for the parts that were really hard. Although, one answer I used to skip a section was actually accurate. They started with, "Are you familiar with vi or emacs?" I responded with, "I actually submitted code to the nvi project that got accepted, but not until after I found out about vim, which already had that feature."

Aback, she is taken.

And now we know how Dutch Elm disease came to be.

Geniuses ARE a dime a dozen in cubetown...

Constantine Hannaher

Thank you all for the confirmation, I brought it up in case the creator had missed a checkbox or the like. Your replies have created a notification which makes the post easier to find :)

Mark

I don't know if it's Patreon or Dropbox, but there's one creator I follow whose pieces display as Dropbox-downloadable files, and recently they've been displaying for about a second then being replaced by the incredibly informative error message "Error Something went wrong."

Simran Khalsa

*hugs* (virtual hugs on offer if wanted, the external recognition of self can sometimes be shocking)

Liz reminds me of me ~20 years ago. I was an IT student back in the day, but as one of my teachers said, "Employers are looking for 18 year olds with 50 years experience." Ended up having to settle for warehouse work, and been with my current job these past 16 years. I miss the studies, but I probably would have cooked my brain in a business environment.

David Paul

GOBLIN LIZ SMASH EXPECTATIONS DUMPED ON HER BY PARENTS, ACADEMIA, SOCIETY AND SELF!

David Paul

I'd buy it!

David Paul

Same here. No notification for this page, but got one for another webcomic I follow (Children of Eldair).

David Paul

Liz, as head of R&D, develops the virus. Hannelore releases it.

Stephen Wells

Marten can call the coffee shop "The Genius Bar" and employ solely genius baristas :)

Onyx

GOBLIN LIZ SMASH

Chris Vermeers

I was recently reading an article about strong language in Dutch. Apparently, they rely heavily on disease metaphors.

alphanor

Yes!!!

Bagge

I'm still rooting for Liz as barrista in Marten's coffee shop

Bagge

That's right, you horrible little goblin. Dig yourself out of your hole out of spite. You will show them. You will show them all (how to live a good life)

Dracon Atrox

"When reality doesn't match your expectations, the problem isn't with reality." I need this on a shirt, a hat, a bumper sticker, a poster, etc. ASAP!

Fart Captor

Liz is basically me with robot arms and short

Joseph Bonnar

Yes, Liz should be terrified.

Joseph Bonnar

Patreon being patreon, I think.

Yelling Bird

It's kinda scary how much I relate to Liz.

Captain Button

In five years, Liz Releases The Virus.

Captain Button

In Panel 1 she was thinking things like "Computer: Arch" and "Computer: End Program."

Captain Button

Probably Patreon being glitchy. Like that for me too. It's happened before.

Kai

Same here, shows up in the home tab but not the notifications tab

Viktor

Look, Iris, your choices are your own. Just saying, you have options.

Constantine Hannaher

Is this weird or Patreon being Patreon? No email and no in-app notification for this post.

BookBeard

Eventually Liz will realize that genius isn't a thing you do, it's a thing you have. It rises to surface when something catches your interest. The reason she's stuck in a rut is because she's narrowed her definition of genius to the things she's done with it previously, which she has clearly gotten bored with. She needs to find something she enjoys doing, then she will be a genius at that.
