I knew about the partnership with the bakery, where Officer Basilisk keeps buying her bread. What I don't think I've ever seen before is the counter display for the baked goods.

Gregory Norris

I think they have a partnership with a bakery. Maybe the secret bakery, don't remember. I think it was after a break up when one of the characters was looking for a different place to hang and discovered a bakery.

Puppymaster

I wasn’t ready for the level to this comic.

Brad Knowles

So, wait -- now Coffee of Doom has a counter display with baked goods?!? When did that happen?!?

Grace Kieser

I don't think it's that simple, or Winslow wouldn't have balked at leading the therapy group. Also, Bubbles' memory wipe wouldn't be considered taboo if they can just download new stuff. I think they still need to learn just like we do

Bagge

Well, we know from Momo there were quite a lot of old fashioned learning involved (Although she DID download the library catalog... including the erotica section) If nothing else, learning to navigate the social fabric of a new workplace is a work in itself.

Andrew Diseker

As long as she's productive, and doesn't just loaf around.

awgiedawgie

"Last-reel surprise"... You're giving away your age a little there.

Somebody Else

May in panel 2 and 3 is just the best. Keeps getting funnier the more I look at it.

Jeffrey Nonken

She also has the gift of perspective. Both are excellent problem-solving skills. Now if she could just learn a bit of tact...

Jeffrey Nonken

May has a gift of getting directly to the core of an issue. And then kicking it in the nuts.

Laura-Kathleen Redman

I am suddenly very envious. I bet an AI switching careers could be as simple as downloading new software and they're set to go, but I would love if Jeph showed us Roko exploring AI education and career training. :)

AI Cops Are Bakers

Ben Russell-Gough

Those who become a rule-bending maverick who go around bringing justice by any and all means necessary, without fear or favour and telling the bureaucrats at city hall that, if they don't like their methods, they can sit on it and spin until they feel better? In Northampton in 2018 there are no more trials, no more lawyers and no more juries. They have become obsolete. One woman is The Law. JUDGE ROKO - Coming 2019.

2 good kinds of cops you know, ones who quit and, uh

Bagge

When you roll 20 on Persuasion and waste it on a silly random encounter at the inn

Jaime Suzuki

the Pygmalion of bread (?)

Lars Gottlieb

Lots of Europeans apparently follow Jeph (o:

Matthew Harris

Or a baker

Anna Phylaxis

yay, finally i can identify with Roko in any way or be fond of her as a character!

JD

May’s new career path as a motivational speaker reveals itself

Thomas Boys

And so began Roko's new career as a baking and fetish blogger.

Lene

It's these occasional bouts of unbridled positivity that keep me reading QC every day.

Rob McBobson

Last panel would make a neat T-shirt.

Dan Curtis

middle of the night is when I ponder most of life's questions

Ben Russell-Gough

I think that Roko was about 99% of the way to that decision anyway May. You just made her think about the look on her boss's face when she quits. So what just happened is that you inadvertently encouraged her to think of the bright side of her decision. The girl doesn't know it, but she's a lot like Pintsize! She just isn't conscious of what a good counsellor she can be! You know, there could be a last-reel surprise. Maybe, on her way to quit, Roko saves someone's life or (accidentally) busts a major perp and rediscovers her joy in her work. Or maybe something weirder like SpookyBot suddenly hiring her as their agent on the inside in the Massachusetts State Police.

Diptych

I have this theory that Jimbo the pulp speculative fiction writer is just Jim the baker when he's drunk. That or they're half-brothers.

Diptych

All Cops Are Becoming knitting supplies retailers

Nicolas Dao-Phan

Aren't AIs grown in this universe? If that's the case, nothing is reprogrammable for them.

Nematrec

Bake bread?! L-lewd!

Philip D Jones

And what are we doing at 1:00 am worrying about this stuff?

Gigglebyte

Actually- that would be true for humans too. There's abbreviated programs for law enforcement seeking an MSW depending on work experience. You still have to get your practicum hours, and supervised hours for licensure but its a thing.

Philip D Jones

Also, for an AI is sexual orientation reprogramable?

Philip D Jones

If a social worker needs an MSW degree, can that be accomplished for an AI with a few minutes of reprogramming? She may need supervised practicum, but surely re-education can be abbreviated.

Gigglebyte

Man don't be a social worker Basalisk... We still have to work with cops and I dunno that I can tell you that there's any less beating your head against a brick wall of bureaucracy

Brent Catherman

Hope the Secret Bakery is hiring.

Am Queue

Maybe Roko can be a Parole Officer and help ex-cons who are being discriminated against. Or she can just go bake bread.

BobC

Roko loco?

Bagge

I'm not sure that will earn May any parole points.

Ilana

Can't wait for Jeph to join the #AbolishPolice movement :D

Chris Crowther

Sometimes what you need in life is just someone to tell you what it is you actually want to do, because until they do you might not realise that's what you want.

I think May was really shocked by the response to her advice. I mean REALLY shocked. Dale, meanwhile, well... Smart man. Hiding behind the counter was wise.

Grace Kieser

Social workers also have to have masters degrees

Ian Wolfe

Good for her! People should like their jobs.

Stoodmuffin

... neat

Onedavewreckingcrew

Miyaa

What

Grace Kieser

Welp, now I need a neck brace because I got whiplash from that turnaround!

Dahlia Rose Israel

YES. I am so shipping Roko and May now. Like superhard, like I never knew I needed them until now but I SO DO

Emma Humphries

All cops are bakers?

Paul Grodt

AND THEN, THEY FUCKED.

Chuck Dee

Dale. That is all.

Mitchell Sealy

Social workers engage with a lot of the same elements of society as police officers, but they're not allowed to gun down anybody who looks at them funny. It's kind of like Hard Mode Police Work.
