Office Politics

BobC

What's that? Sorry, I didn't hear you. I'm toner-deaf.

Kerin Schiesser

Remember, many robots are sponsored into society with human friends. You never know when your embarrassingly biological roommate might come along and need to use the facilities, right?

The Broken Nomad

Um, why is there a restroom in that place? Didn't know 'bots need to.., ahh, expel fluids 'n stuff..

Clifton Royston

I assumed it was about needing to put in the toner cartridge, and the implications in a world where any machine might be sentient. That’s what prompted my joke above.

Trigon Manthree

PC Load Letter? What does that even mean?

Sleepy John

Pint size would squat on the paper and extrude documents. PDF = poop dis file.

Yeah, I'm a little confused by that myself... Anyone here have any insight into that?

Bruce Steinberg

Let me guess, they are going to have to fax the paperwork.

Daryl Sawyer

Robot, again, *you have the Internet in your head*. Look up the instructions.

Nemo of Utopia

Seriously, they all need to learn how to install a Gorham toner cartridge. You can't get a damn thing done when dealing with the government without filing forms in hardcopy.

Joe

you don't have to turn it off. just turn it on ...

RobertC

Considering May's recent events/exploits in the comic...

Summer Sudbrink

It looks like a black and white printer so obviously any joke about it will be off color.

Derrik Pates

Stop lookin' up my can.

Daniel Rydberg

I really like the off-white color on the printer that really signifies it’s old age.

I am obtuse. What is going on with the text at the bottom? "I'm going to fuck the printer." Huh?

Daniel Rydberg

Is that before or after you turn it off and on?

Edmund Schweppe

Printsize!

Erik Hawkinson

To be fair, installing a toner cartridge can be quite the task.

Grant Swire

I am actually surprised that there isn't an anthro PC that just poops or vomits up documents.

Clifton Royston

If you're not printersexual, it's really difficult to put a toner cartridge into a printer that's loudly moaning "OH YES SLIDE IT IN DEEPER."

Bagge

Why else would it be called paperwork?

Bagge

We've all worked with that person.

Joseph Bonnar

Ok. It is time. NELSON!

Czarzhan

An AI-run office, and the paperwork is *actually* on paper??

Magic Chopstick Games

Beepatrice rumblings intensifying

Huntokar

lp0 on fire

Mitchell Sealy

So far I'm pretty sure Beepatrice is the only other employee we've met. Are there any other confirmed employees?

J.M. Hall

This is our printer, Dot. Dot Matrix.

Kajsa Anderson

Flashback to the Family Ties episode with the talking camera... "Load film now"

Michael Boettger

Obviously an older printer. If it had an AI in it, it would tell you how.

Summer Sudbrink

Are we sure that printer’s name isn’t Dot?

Andrew

Also, do either of you speak postscript?

Andrew

"Jeph, you promised never to post that!"

GearaDoga

I'm getting the distinct impression that Roko will wind up in charge of this whole operation just by being the only competent one of the bunch...

Samantha Yeaman

Her withering look in the first panel gives me the impression she KNOWS we all saw her ass and she's not impressed.

LH

better get used to that pose in the last panel May, you're gonna be doing that a lot

z

... This is some kind of bizarre Turning Test, isn't it? Trying to find out if there's intelligent life out there by seeing how you can drive it mad.

Dean Reilly

Always use protection when installing a toner cartridge.

Gary Walker

I'm guessing they've never had a client before.

Alcaria Swain

I don't feel like I understand this one

Miyaa

Call Crushbot, that printer needs to be crushed.

Lord Crusade

Oh my god....
