What kind of monster doesn't cry at the end of every Vin Diesel movie?

So is your profile pic

Charlie Lawton

Brobot!

BobC

Love this layout for a 5-pane comic.

Lucas Werkmeister

already trying to break that record for whatever the bug's name was

Nicolas Demers

What would be really hilarious is if Yay really is a fan of Christopher, but doesn't want anyone to know. Just like they played it cooooool when meeting Hercules https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4235

Nicolas Demers

Other AI? And humans too, why not?

Joe

here's hoping that Yay ensures that Christopher is never heard from again.

kupo

I know I should feel sorry for him, but that's some non-consensual selfie taking right there, so buddy has it coming.

I am the captian now

Press F to pay respects to Christopher. We were together for but one page yet our time together was so sweet.

Sleepy John

Well, that's one approach to polyamory. However, you ought to have that death wish looked at, soon.

Leak

Yeah, they're more of a Peltier device...

Lucy

Rip Christopher

Aleks

Oh look, an AI I don't instantly like. It's the oblivious "they heard of me so they must be a fan" that rubs me.

Jim Feldman

Just to break the wall a bit...I don't even understand how an AI "influencer" is even a thing. Who are they "influencing"?

Krestus

I really like it to come home from work and find an E-Mail for the newest QC Strip :)

PixelThis

And Christopher was never seen again...

Joseph Bonnar

I would have said "Not possible", but ya know what? I think he did.

Mooster

I came here to make a thumbnail reference. Thank you. :-)

Ohh Crap Guy

Very well, thank you.

Scotty

How does Christopher's Thumb Cam work?

Mark

Unleash your inner giant squid, Yay!

I heard a a hungry allosaurus in the distance

He has no idea how quickly every mention of him can be wiped from the internet...just a Yay eyeblink away....

Summer Sudbrink

I don't think Yay should be too worried about that photograph. It's just a thumbnail after all.

Foal Papers

Christopher is blissfully unaware of how close he is to torment beyond imagination and/or utter obliteration. I kinda love him a little bit for that.

Jp

The look on Yay's face is absolutely perfect.

ezazel

unwelcome physical contact

Leak

"Christopher.exe performed an illegal operation and will be terminated."

Leak

Also Melon: Yay's a [REDACTED]. Nobody knows what that is but apparently it's also not a big deal!

Leak

Yay's gonna ship them SO HARD...

Brad Kirkwood

Butt RUBS i believe

Brad Kirkwood

assuming she just doesn't delete Christopher, that hiss can be an annoyed cat or a burning fuse

Digi

Poster next to the door - "Free Butt Hugs"???

Stephen Wells

Utterly convinced of their own godhood - considers people as amusing playthings - ostentatiously disdainful but also weirdly needy about companionship... IT'S CATS ALL THE WAY DOWN ...I think Yay is what happened when all the internet's cat memes became sentient. Oh no.

Leak

Well, I guess the body of this one-off gag strip character that will never show up again will never be found... :P

Stephen Wells

Last panel makes me wonder if Yay's core programming is actually based on cats, not people. That would explain a lot.

Somebody Else

Yay allowing Roko to bully her is so much fun

Logan Nix

Oh my gods I love him

Daniel Blom Paulsen

Roko's smug face in panel 2 is perfection.

SilverbackRon

We can only hope

SilverbackRon

Christopher is kind of terrible and I don't think we will miss him after Yay does what Yay is about to do to him.

SilverbackRon

Yay has more than enough power to simply delete Christopher's selfie. Piff, it just simply doesn't exist. Not that Yay couldn't use a more direct method, like removing the offending camera-thumb. Snap, it is no longer attached.

Absentia

Melon and Pintsize must never meet.

Absentia

i don't think Yay's a fan.

Miyaa

As a side question, did Jeph make Melon cuter?

Jeffrey Henley

Yay is allergic to exposure. Like a Vampire with light. Hence the Hissss...

RadiusUlna

He's o r a n g e

Todd Ellner

And then kicking it in the goolies

Daniel Rydberg

Yellow tank top and Green shorts? Please Christopher…

Danielle Church

omg the Monster Factory reference, I love it

Chris Warren

Where's Crushbot when you need him?

KCkittysnores

It’s really hard to say “hiss” without… hissing.

KCkittysnores

Gordon?! Gordon’s too good for him.

Chelsea

Ahahah I love imagining an influencer AI. They would be really good at it, presumably, since they could know all the things at any moment, or at least many of them

KCkittysnores

And into Roko’s luvvvvvvv nest.

GodsInTheCogs

I just wanna make out with Yay tho

Josh Moberly

Yesssss, more himbos. Good, good. Also Yay in the last panel 100% embodies my best friend.

Miyaa

Chris deserves everything Yay will do to him.

Miyaa

Oh I hope not.

Hugh Eckert

Well, Melon *did* blow a hole in Roko's ceiling with the volcano model, so it's legit that she might be suspected for this event...

Chloë Salzenberg

His parents have Monster Factory sprays.

TV4Fun

Are we about to have a long storyline on the developing romance between Yay and Christopher?

William Cole

Hey, Gordon needs love!

Nicolas Dao-Phan

An Influencer

HillaryGayle

An influencer AI 🤣

Mad Marie

Is this neighbour the impetus for Yay to move out of their pod?

Darnel D Cooper

BTW Yay Hissing still has me chuckling.

Darnel D Cooper

Whelp. Now we see if the evolving into a being of great power but even greater restraint holds. I admit the old Yay probably would have casually dodged the grasp of the unknowing Robo and warned it off directly w/o speaking. The new Yay appears to keep things real-time in deference to Roko and will suffer minor offenses to its sensibilities. Christopher will probably get a pass.

Danya Michael

In my mind, Yay is just saying the word "hiss" rather than making the noise.

Ace of Hearts

that's a monster factory reference!

I was hoping to see fangs or claws or hair standing straight up or something in that last panel. Hissing is pretty good, though.

Merle Blue

Christopher is kind of terrible and I think I love him

The Bird

Same Yay

Hsssss lol

Jeph doesn't joke around with these names. That guy's name is definitely Christopher Christopher Christopher Chistopher

FE

"... and in today's episode, the role of Doctor Mandible will be played by Christopher"

Andrew Mitchell

I can't wait to see how Yay! messes with Christopher in revenge! This gonna be goooooooooood.

I was thinking the same thing.

Chad Freeman

Uh...hey...there a reason why Christopher's follower count is now...negative?

Thisguy

What’s the odds that Yay can delete themselves from every digital picture that’s taken of them?

Ray Cornwall

he ded

Fart Captor

I love Yay

Matt Grayson

Next, he attacks Faye while she's standing next to Bubbles. The following strip shows what's left of him as a surprise in Steve's cereal box.

BobC

I predict Christopher is the first of TWO new characters! Because none of the existing characters could possibly ship with him.

BobC

Yes, for the money we'll never see again.

Chas Simmons

Of course, "they" have the power to stop any being in its tracks, but they are reluctant to use such power. We'll see.

MiqoRems

And that's how Christopher's final post was a post-mortem lesson on consent and personal space!

Andrew

Yay, new friends!

To borrow a line from elsewhere, "If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention." I can't imagine *anything* good happening to poor shallow Christopher in the next.... well, forever. Thou shalt not mess with the Yay, but he didn't know that, poor soul.

Grace Kieser

Their* Yay is enby

Ed Marshall

And that's how Christopher's social media accounts got deleted

Kyle Major

Their vampire sense will go off and a program will erase them from that photo

Carrie

🤘🤣🤘

MikeT

Christopher is now an ex-Christopher

Matthew Van Gangelen

Hope not.

doorbender

It has to be feasible

doorbender

Not named “healthy relationship bird” for reasons

Matthew Van Gangelen

Ironically I have a new pet peeve.

Onyx

HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSs Also, Roku's face in the second panel is the best.

doorbender

Dammit. Why am I simping for a Robro?

Dean Reilly

But Yay didn't go 'Woo!' ☹️

Thomas Halpin

I'm sure they're just hissing because that's how they prefer to present for Christopher's audience, with which they are familiar.

Andrew L Butula

If he's lucky. If Yay hadn't been softened by hanging out with Roko, Mellon, Elliot, and Hercules his arm probably would have fallen off before it was fully extended.

KCkittysnores

It’s gonna be a hard sell to make us like Christopher, but we saw Clinton through…

Dylan T

Oh no

I was going to make this comment. *tip of the hat* 😂

Drazi

Christopher needs to learn about personal space, asking, and whether or not he would like to try out Pintsize's old case with all limbs removed

David F

I want a thumbcam

Yelling Bird

OOH! PASTY-BOT IS EVEN SEXIER WHEN THEY'RE PISSED-OFF!

Joel Bateman

Great. A named character. Which means....he's permanent.

Runhildr Zaetl

Christopher unknowingly grabbing the tiger by the tail there.

I can't help but hear the above text in the voice of the announcer from the WWE Monster Factory episode. "Christopher... Christopher... Christopher... CHRISTOPHER!"

Matt Grayson

Or both

Czarzhan

Oh please! Like they couldn't alter/delete that photo any time they wanted.

...Sometimes. Maybe.

Jeremy

Bad Jeph! Don’t tell us the names of soon to be deceased entities. We might start caring and 1. Influencer, and (MUCH more important) 2. Made Yay hiss.

Ariamaki

The Pebble here is a pretty reasonable dude.

Tamara Macadam

welp, rip chris

The Liability of being able to spy on everyone with your hand? Edit: Also, if your hand had a mic, it would actually mean something when you tell someone: "Talk to the hand!"

Elberik

I wouldn't be surprised if Yay doesn't appear in photos. Either that or they just instantly hack & delete everything.

Daniel Burnett

Christopher has made a fatal error

Matt Grayson

I suspect that photo - and much of Christopher's data - will find itself mysteriously corrupted.

Jeph Jacques

I am the Bart man now

Emily Jane

Omg brobots are my new favorite thing

Michael Boettger

And Melon, sweetie, these things happen, you are not to blame.

Jenea Ylinen Fredrickson

The last panel has me cackling.

Michael Boettger

Oh crap! This may be the first time Yay has been photographed. There goes their anonymity.

Ted Van Roekel

I have the feeling that Christopher will live to regret this moment.

Anthony Gaglianese

....I'm currently contemplating the ethical dilemmas that could come from having a Clinton-like cybernetic hand with a camera in my thumbnail. Yep, still would be worth the liability.
