Hang In There

Chris Heg

I know, it took me a long time to make that break.

Clifton Royston

I actually liked the earlier version, with the translucent overlays, in the Patreon email. I suppose if it was confusing readers, then it makes sense to go to a more conventional comic version, but I liked the more experimental visual language.

Easy to say. Hard to do when it's the only life you know now.

Mark

Ah. I was wondering why there was no comic on today's page. I could delete my QC RSS, but it reminds me to come to Patreon.

FYI, boss, this appears to have ended up on the site as number 3636 instead of 3836, overwriting a comic in the middle of the arc with Tilly and screwing up navigation. Thought you should know.

Craig Parks

Holly, that is an awesome font! Thank you!

Matt Grayson

You're right, of course. I was just trying to set up the image of B armed with bread and tea.

Diptych

Eh, she just acknowledged that Bubbles was being kept as a slave in her own jurisdiction and that she'd been powerless to help her. I can't see her picking a fight with someone only recently liberated from slavery.

Matt Grayson

I think she *is* feeling vindictive and will pick a fight with Bubbles over the trash can incident. Bubbles, master of all weapons, will defend herself with a loaf of Sourdough and a mug of Assam tea.

Originally, the “vindictive type” thought bubble was a montage of her face and the words overlapping translucently.

awgiedawgie

I didn't think the original looked <i>un</i>clear.

Diptych

I dunno; not to get conspiratorial, but cops have established methods of dealing with overly-conscientious would-be reformers.

Alex Thompson

Dental plan!

Dolan

Lisa needs braces!

Ami

So long dental plan

Craig Parks

I’ve heard of helvitica type and San serifs type but what does vindictive type look like?

P

What was the edit? I don't notice anything different.

Chris Heg

If your job is making you hate yourself you should probably leave. Just sayin'

Sleepy John

So... what type IS she?

Peter Jensen

Okay, cool, but speakin' from experience, making a dumb impulsive decision <b>also</b> starts with that exclamation ...

Ben Russell-Gough

"Luuuke... Use the Force Luke! Let go!" "What? Damn it, wrong character's flashback!"

Chris Crowther

I have no idea where this is going.

Matthew Foweraker

The problem is people like her are one of the few ways the system could get better.

jeff fearnow

Just think of a baguette.

Diptych

Or, she recognises that her own lack of vindictiveness was the only thing stopping her from doing something unethical to Mae, because cops have power that they shouldn't.

Yep... I’ve had that exact moment after hearing “you should just quit”

Ben Russell-Gough

Or, as we found out, the talking toilet paper dispenser.

Ben Russell-Gough

You know what would I like to know? I'd like to know what triggered this response in Roko. What was she seeing on that screen that is making her feel that she's being asked to be vindictive?

Anna Phylaxis

I guess, when it comes down to it, *I* was Roko's Basilisk..... ;P

Bagge

Nice touch with the input cables instead of the keyboard

BobC

She wishes it was a raccoon.

Miyaa

Well maybe not in that sense.

Joseph Houk

Vindictive. She sees being a police officer as needing to be "vindictive", because cops are supposed to "go after" the bad guys with ill humor.

Jessie Cook

I need sleep. At first I thought that was another cop at the next desk with the same chassis. Now I'm wondering how often that happens...

Andrew

"Officer Basilisk, you are fined one credit for a violation of the verbal morality statute"

Grace Kieser

If I remember right, his name's O'Malley!

Populuxe

Is that poster in the background Chiyo-chan’s Father?

R L

It's gonna make sense tomorrow. For now? Puzzld af

Adam Friedlander

I'm puzzled too. Maybe it disturbs her how much power she would have to mess with May if she were inclined to do so?

Krista Elliott

Oh, I hope this doesn't mean Basilisk is going to fuck over May...

Kyle Major

Oh cop bot not this day

David Rivette

Not sure why that phrase triggered that response in her

Lord Crusade

Good for you Roko!

Something's snapped there. And I think it's her attitude about the job.
