This feels like a Night Vale reference. If you see the Librarians, do not make eye contact. Also, don't run; that way you won't be out of breath when you start screaming.

So happy to see the 2010 reference ("All these worlds are yours except Europa. Attempt no landings there.") For those who haven't read / seen it, I'd highly recommend. The movie lacks the beauty of the first (Kubrick!) but it has its moments and I do really enjoy it.

Captain Button

Or suffer my curse!

“Picking up”

Matt Grayson

Too many posts. Has anyone mentioned "Coffee black, full of stars"?

Ursus Ridens

So...is it related to the Black Monolith? (Cf. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHWs3c3YNs4)

Ursus Ridens

Quoi?

Sleepy John

I wonder what Bubbles would think of it. It's a AI in a body with zero points of articulation?

Richard

I hope tomorrow's script is Dora whacking it with a club...

Miyaa

If this turns out to be true, you should go out and play the lottery tomorrow.

Some Ed

If you want me to go to that link, you're going to need a less disconcerting way to frame it.

Some Ed

I'm pretty sure most of us know Ursula here.

Some Ed

Before touching the monolith... QC tech level is a bit uncertain on this point. There's also a question of whether Claire would actually *want* to, though that might be more clear to me if I were more obsessive about the comic. After touching the monolith, yes.

Bagge

Just let it talk to the register in peace

jimfromtx

Now I'm wondering what circumstances Hanners *would* order the orbital strike o.o

David Howe

Emily would just get the Slab its drink....

Summer Sudbrink

I bet it likes its coffee dark.

Summer Sudbrink

Flo for short.

"Coffee... black... very black..."

Jon Guyer

In fairness, that low hum is not the most disconcerting sound it makes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAZRM3my10A

Sean Morgan

This makes me think Dora should make an effort to hire an AnthroPC for these situations...

William Handrigan

Also what immediately came to my mind.

Mitchel Huffa

Delivery Slab is picking up coffees for it's friends (and also for money).

Miyaa

Raaammmeeesss! (The man in charge! The man in charge!)

The AnthroPCs have all evolved: Pintsize shows up in next panel twirling something bone-shaped in the air. Or, you know, *bone*-shaped.

OH MY GOD. IT'S FULL OF BEANS!

MikeT

They're from Jamac.....I mean Europa

Brooks Moses

Nah, looks more like about 1:3:6. It's a _little_ monolith, short and stout.

DrummerGeek

And now, the weather.

Peregi Tamas

Finally, someone else who remembers DORD!

Martin Krikorian

Are it’s dimensions in a ratio of 1:4:9?

Nicolas Dao-Phan

Reeetuuuuurn the slaaaaab

sjlxndr

We are now the monolith who says "ickyickyptangboingwoop"!

Daniel S

*thus spake zarathustra intensifies*

Timothy Roller

C'mon, throw the slab a bone.

Thomas Halpin

"Return the Slab!"

Rémi Beaulieu-Dubé

I am digging the Sakurai-Sensei crown of flying sweat.

Nobilis Reed (personal)

Also check out the last two items on the menu, "Advice" and "Good Advice" --N

QC is fairly psychedelic most of the time, but this is a turn for the bizarre that I had not expected. --N

Brian Mann

However, it only pays in cereal. Steve is strangely ok with this.

Eric Sieck

My god, it’s full of coffee!

Bruce Steinberg

How about the Shame Orb?

Alacrity Fitzhugh

Just watch out for flying bones.

Can Claire reproduce? Otherwise it seems a little pointless for her to be touched by the monolith...

We definitely do not have normalcy...

Mitch Megaw

Obviously asking for earl gray with almond milk. I don’t understand the confusion.

R L

Call Yay.

doorbender

I’m afraid I can’t do that Slab

William Cole

Not far, you just have to find the right old oak door.

Some Ed

Hannalore knows the need to qualify. So which of the other Monoliths have also visited Coffee of Doom? Silent Monolith, Monolith that emits a high pitched squeal, Monolith that Rick rolls, or some Monolith I haven't met?

Jeremy J Nickurak

Every day we get closer to a crossover with my favorite OTHER Jacques' comic. That's right. It's time for DORD. (Seriously though, Alice Grove was wonderful too though)

Rob Vary

Now THAT sounds like a challenge.

Carrie

Trip Space-Parasite

I always thought Night Vale was in the Southwest, so at least a couple thousand miles?

Nathan Hevenstone

Is... is that from Night Vale? Just how close is the QC setting to Night Vale?

Mad Marie

Emily enters and promptly begins speaking to the slab in hummspeech. “They said that they need compensation for use of their likeness on the ‘Be nice to a robot’ poster over there on the wall.”

Ace of Hearts

Call Emily, she can't make the situation worse

Andrew

Thus Spake Dorathustra

Andrew

I’m thinking coffee beans.

Paul Britt

I really loved Alice Grove. I found her strangely hot and attractive....

Jim Feldman

Came here for the 2001 references and was not disappointed

Shawn K. Younkin

::snerk::

Dean Reilly

'You also made grammatical errors here, here, and here.' 'COMMENCE THE OMEGA SANCTION.'

Shawn K. Younkin

We invented TOOLS the first time... that we used to HELP with murder... we had already created murder by then.

Sebastian

A censor bar in search of a Pintsize

kaitou

It's full of something, but I don't think it's stars.

Edward Clayton Andrews

Oh, they are just the worse to serve.

Sean Kinlin

Nice callback. Will Jeph unite all stories into a single QC-verse?

Mad Marie

“Open the Keurig pod bay doors, Hal-nelore.”

Jason Wotzko

Any chance of it being a probability device in need of a strong cup of tea?

James Redekop

Floating Slab that Emits a Low Hum? Any relation to the Black Cube of Darkness?

Czarzhan

If one side of the slab becomes a doorway and Alice Grove steps out, I'm outta here!

Miyaa

Oh snap!

Miyaa

Tomorrow the monolith visits Steve and gives him his next assignment: find out who stole $8 million worth of maple syrup from the Canadian maple syrup reserve.

Mad Marie

All…your…worlds…are belong to us.

Matt Grayson

"Dora! It wants a decaf proto-human with a side of femur. Wasn't that last week's special?"

Shawn K. Younkin

Something WONDERFUL!!

Captain Button

Last time we invented murder. This time...?

Jeffrey Anderson

Just don't try ordering tea from a Nutrimatic machine.

Miyaa

Very plausible.

Shawn K. Younkin

Welcome to your first day Claire!!!

Miyaa

Does Marten knows his Xbox is hitting on Claire?

Kevin Tangney

Look, it is C&C Music Factory! (A thing that makes you go hmmm)

Elf Sternberg

Yay, meet Monolith That Emits a Low Hum. Monolith, this is Yay.

Michael Boettger

Yay walks in and says: Mom?

Mad Marie

The espresso machine begins singing “Bicycle built for two”

Andrew Mitchell

I guess it needed some way to get up to the counter

Ted Van Roekel

Ah, it's Welcome to Night Vale crossover week! Lovely!

ljdbjlasfbjk

The first time it showed up, a chimp killed Sara by hitting her over the head with a bone (the allosaur scavenged her remains). So Dora knows to get away from the monolith ASAP.

Andrew Mitchell

It's monumental

Andrew Mitchell

Valid

ERRORCODE616

Next time, Claire leaves Marten for the clipart monolith.

Yonatan Zunger

I suspect it wants a single espresso. I'm not quite sure why, but it seems appropriate to a floating slab who emits a low hum in much the same way that tea is appropriate to a robot.

Douglas E. Smith

Oh good, a Monolith. Just when you thought the QC singularity helped avoid the whole Hal 9000 bit... still good to know even star children need coffee.
