No they don't.
Brian
They call him Dolphin Jack
Don Whiteside
Pfft cows turn themselves inside out all the time
Brad Knowles
Sorry, who is Barry?
BobC
Because those French have a different word for EVERYTHING!
Bagge
I'm more worried about Barry
Brian
At least the cow is the only recognizable part of the gore. Maybe there were more bumps on the way to the shop.
Gary Walker
If you think the cow is in bad shape, wait until you see the Jimbo.

I'm seeing a major intestine on one shoulder, and a hoof on the other, and I'm trying desperately to envision the turn (pun intended) of events that had to have transpired.
Paul Parten
Yeah, that dislocated finger made my stomach turn, urgh.
Gore cw woulda been nice :(
Brian
Where do people still call them βabattoirsβ?
Am Queue
How to tell I've been playing Diablo3 recently: I immediately tried to envision the 'bot as one of those spinny things from the Dhalgur Oasis.
Kuragari
Haha a paperclip for Basilisk. Good for getting CDs out of drives without powering them on, too. XD

My theory is she works in an abattoir, wasn't looking where she was going, and fell into a carcass.
Maurice Kessler
I want to work for these people.
How do you know that the robot killed a cow " accidentally"? It's possible that the robot's *job* is killing cows, and being covered in blood and guts is a daily occurrence. She just bumped into a cow in a weird way while working, and dislocated a finger. Hence how casual she is about needing to be hosed off.
I feel bad for the cow. Hitting a dear usually damages a car badly. Cows are bigger than deer. Robots are smaller than cars. What is this robot made of anyway? Why does this robot have so little affect about killing an animal accidentally?
Czarzhan
I kind of thought she wasn't looking where she was running.

For the old Jeph, I would have taken the gag as-written. But for the new Jeph, I would suspect there's some thought going on in the background about dangerous robots, cattle slaughter (cows aren't cheap!), an angry farmer, and Roko's former associates like O'Malley lurking around.
Reyn Goldfur
Right? Like, was she in a vehicle, or does she secretly have Bubbles-tier strength and forgot about it?
Al Hunt
It should have moooooved.
GragSmash
"Bumped" .. I am highly uncomfortable with the level of disconnect between that word and the results.
John Ridley
I have been laughing for 2 minutes about that and I suspect will be for a while yet.

"& a paperclip to reset Basilisk." π
Gary Walker
Ray Kurzweil's "The Age of Visceral Machines."
Grace Kieser
No! Bad!
In the same way that we could be merely surprised at the sight of wires and metal parts, but faint when facing a bloody hand.
Czarzhan
I notice that Roko reacted to the disembodied robot arm, was surprised but otherwise unaffected by the cow gore, then fainted at the dislocated finger.
quarridors
Ye gods, that offal! π£
Miyaa
That cow had it coming.
Captain Button
Might be consent issues there...
Brooks Moses
Indeed. Questionable, even, one might say. My headcanon is that the cow was already being butchered, or was at least already deceased, and you cannot convince me otherwise.
Andrew
Not sure a paperclip will work, better call Elliot for a fresh croissant to bring her around.
BobC
And, in Roko's case, the total loss thereof.
BobC
Holy cow. Srsly. Talk about "bodily integration"...
Thomas Boys
You know, it would be kind of amusing if her name was Kattel D'estroyer or something like that.
Peter Jensen
Well, that leg so elegantly draped over her shoulder does look more like a horse hoof than a cow hoof (cow hooves are split in two roughly equal size parts). Though it might just be the angle.
Poor cow. =(
Ralf Paul
I'm somehow glad to see that the immensely high-tech world of QC still has paperclip resets.
Mitchell Sealy
They're certainly going to have a disproportionate presence in the AI repair shop.
Bagge
That's a very cute model of robot. Shame about all the gore
Mordaeus
That's an amount of gore I never expected to see in this comic. Not that it's bad, just surprising.
Anyone else hear the pac man dying sound when Roko passed out?
ysth
Don't think of it as blood, think of it as rad sprays
Pete Hanson
I'm beginning to think that androids and robots make up more than half the character population of QC now.
Dean Reilly
She's pretty sure it was a cow, everything was kind of a blur. It might have been a pantomime horse.
gatherer818
I had to reread the paperclip part, then it clicked and I swore at the memory of those annoying buttons on every router ever.
Mitchell Sealy
That is a powerful thoughtless robot. Here's hoping cows are all shes been bumping into.
Poor Roko....
