Considering the whole tea sniffing thing it may not be all that abnormal for AI. Even in human society their are some common fetishes that people are less willing to share.

Stoodmuffin

Sure, miss BREAD FETISH

Satan

especially when you spot the Unipiper and the cat rapper hanging out together, with the kitties.

Marie

I really like the way you draw animals!

Ted Van Roekel

Derrik Pates

Yeah, I was gonna say, "says the AI with a bread fetish"...

I have this strong sense that they're in a scarcity tipping point society: there is absolutely no need for any scarcity economics, but there still is due to inertia. That said, La Li Lu Le Looo is the reindeer's estate trustee, and that reindeer's an heir to billions. At least, that's my headcanon.

Some Ed

There isn't actually anyone who *is* what 80% of the population thinks is normal, however. Also, I think, thanks to the Internet opening people's eyes to things, I think that figure is now down under 60%, and with any luck it'll be below 50% real soon now and we can get the damned self-repressing assholes out of our government!

She clearly wants there to be a set of norms to which people conform. This is just fine, so long as she widens her notion of what counts as acceptable conformity. Unkindness and injustice, right out; unusual tastes, habits, and beliefs, what the hell. When my German Shepherd was a puppy, I took her all over the city, because they are bred to be conservative and suspicious of anything they haven't seen before. I made sure she saw every kind of people, and, of course, they were sweet to her because she was a puppy. Now she's all, "Oh, a one-legged man with a feathered hat propelling himself on a skateboard with ski poles and singing. Does he have a tennis ball? No? Carry on, then." I hope that something similar happens to Roko.

Given Roko's bread fetish, I wouldn't be so quick to classify her as "normal" ;)

Holly Nelson

I’m wondering- Roko was not a happy police officer, but she was a police officer, and not a rookie. Hard habits of mind to break. I’m wondering how she will respond to the world, without the responsibilities or authority of that position. More frustration, but in the opposite direction? Hmm...

David Howe

Perhaps if you think /you/ are the only normal sentient being in town, your yardstick is faulty? :)

Dean Reilly

Obviously the remnant alien AIs solved the lightspeed problem by building a probe containing all of their knowledge and experience and sending it to Earth. When it arrived, it constructed a bunch of bodies for itself, moved into an apartment and adopted a bunch of rescue greyhounds.

Thomas Boys

I can't imagine how she could afford one of those things, let alone 3. They're very deer.

Grant Swire

Whats the argument for them not being in a post-scarcity society? Because I'm sure reindeer hoverboards is not it.

Brian

Excellent callback jeph, A+

Bagge

That reindeer is pretty chill

Clifton Royston

One of my favorites, from a comic series of sheer genius. Some of his comics make me cry every goddamn time.

Clifton Royston

And becoming bored as all fuck with them.

Bruce Steinberg

Also, someone needs to send Roko this month's bonus comic.

Bruce Steinberg

I'm so happy to have La Li Lu and her reindeer back! 'Tis the season!

Sleepy John

The majority is always sane.

Traded her wings for wheels on her feet!

Gary Walker

Where are her wings, Jeph?

pilgrim3

I define normal. The rest of you are weird.

Captain Button

Yes. Next question?

Peter Jensen

You're not exactly in the middle of the bell curve there, Roko. But then <a href="http://www.viruscomix.com/page500.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">have any of us ever met a "normal" person</a>?

BobC

The best you can hope for is to be median.

BobC

The next new QC character should immediately be renamed "Fred Bucker" and shipped with Roko. OK?

BobC

Of course THAT's not normal! But add water and heat and it's completely normal.

BobC

The next new QC character shall immediately be renamed "Fred Bettish" and be shipped with Roko. Amirite?

Ron Braithwaite

You know if I saw that here in Portland, I wouldn’t bat an eye. After the Unipiper, that pair aren’t really that unusual.

kaitou

...which doesn't work on any of my (or anyone else's?) clothing.

Snake, this town belongs to,... THE PATRIOTS

I have no idea, but I need to know now!

Errol Cavit

I think it's reasonable to assume that the boards have better-than-here sense and avoid capability

Nicholas Lopez

WHO ARE THE PATRIOTS!?

MiaKitty

I love that both her and the fluffybutt have their eyes wide closed.

ysth

Panel 1, sign on left, middle line: Erase fur on bears????

ysth

Normal is a dryer setting

There's no such thing as a normal person.

z

There's a story in there-Roku finding a coffee shop with the "normal" sapient beings out there.
