Wikipedia: "An affogato /ˌɑːfəˈɡɑːtəʊ/, /ˌæfəˈɡɑːtəʊ/ or more traditionally known as "affogato al caffe" is an Italian coffee-based dessert. It usually takes the form of a scoop of semisoft cheese-flavored or vanilla gelato or ice cream topped or "drowned" with a shot of hot espresso." Me: Um, cheese-flavored gelato? WTF?

Tonight's Episode: Hugenormous solar eruption causes the robots to freeze up for a few hours (except, of course, the mil-spec Bubbles, who was designed to survive tactical EMP), leaving the humans to sort things out in the streets during the subsequent widespread blackout. Oh wait...

Panel three gave me *feels*....

David Howe

Mr Burny's behavior is proportional to the quality and sincerity of the offerings you make to it...

David Howe

No, but Faye plans a spoiler and flame decals...

David Howe

"Wait, why is there suddenly a vacancy again?"

David Howe

Possibly the usual aversion of CoD to Starbucks abominations, or just they are out of vanilla ice cream?

Mad Marie

Agreed! (Although the crop top might not be sufficient armor in the event of an exploding espresso incident)

Pete

It's a coffee shop, not a dessert bar. Also there's spiders in the ice-cream, probably?

Cogspace

They only accept payment in the form of Nitrous Oxide.

Patrick Crutchley

Oh that is affogato priced “NO”. Why is affogato “NO”?

It's only fun in the comix...

I feel jilted. In all the years I've used my CoD coffee mug, I've never had a coffee maker explode. I'm missing out on the full CoD experience.

(Takes a sip from many-years-old CoD coffee cup) Sigh...

Not saying it has to happen. But the jump in CoD strips lining up with the recent uptick in coffee shop with breast milk memes on Twitter gives a great opportunity for any CoD versions with Dora berating someone for asking for it. Or “Mommy Milkers 420” embracing it.

Tim Keating

I miss Penny and Raven. Haven't seen them in a loooong time.

Jim Feldman

I think they did, sort of, but it disappeared into another dimension.

sometimes i really want more of an artsy-manual job where i can where jeans+docs+crop top... business clothes are so uncomfy...

Hopefully I got the right link here: https://youtu.be/AO3wvsnunJk

It just says “talk to Bubs”

Damn I miss scenes here. Happy you wrote these Jeph!

Cynical Tea Drinker

*sees bottom item on the board* How much for good advice?

Kristina

Sudden flashback to when most of the webcomic took place in this coffee shop 😌

Leak

About yay times?

Bagge

It MIGHT not happen

Lucretiel

This is a pretty funny thing for her to be nonchalant about given what a disaster it was last time back when Faye worked there

OldGoat

I'm kind of surprised that CoD doesn't have an AI coffee machine as a regular character.

Andrew

This is one of those clues to ask what happened to the last guy, isn’t it.

Jim Feldman

I thought Bubs was going to rebuild that

Daniel S

Having the espresso machine redecorate your face is a Coffee of Doom rite of passage.

Gotta admire Jeph’s commitment to the pintucks.

Ray Cornwall

In storyline, how often HAS the coffee machine exploded?

Don't you mean EXPRESS...no wait, I see what you did there

Rich Holmes

OR PEOPLE

Bruce Steinberg

It is such a cute outfit!

Yelling Bird

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? SINCE WHEN DOES THIS COMIC HAVE A COFFEE SHOP IN IT?

BobC

I've had a coffee machine espress its dissatisfaction with how I was operating it...

If we assume the upgrades Raven installed hold true to our current understandings of quantum super-positioning then there is a non-zero chance of that happening.

Theory, Dora's current outfit wasn't originally black

Pejo

"This has all happened before... and it will happen again."

Jackie Horn

I wonder if the dinosaur espresso machine will make a comeback.

Anthony Gaglianese

Knowing this group, various appliances being capable of spontaneously exploding seems fairly reasonable. Valid concerns like this are why I have a particular bumper sticker on my car:"I don't WANT you to get hurt, I just want to be there when you do."
