Terrible

hmm
no sir
I dont like it...

>>149012537 (OP)
Holy shit things might be actually happening

Also what the fuck is up with the alcove that green couch is in

>>149012537 (OP)
just fug the loli already

please let things happen

>>149012811
Designed for Claire to sleep on while listening to Marten fuck his new girlfriend.

>>149012862
which one he's got four

Dr. Loli is going to drunkenly kiss him in three panels, Moray already slept in the same bed as him and copped a feel, Zlata wants him to violate her warranty and Rent-a-cop is in the same waiting room

I love that Claire's issue here is shes working too hard, shes too good at her job, shes too competent

>>149012537 (OP)
Is this a flashback or
did the fagboi ACTUALLY leave a drunken doktorloli unnattended to go and get the tranny in person when a simple call, nay a fucking text message, would have sufficed?

This thing is still going on????
I remember like a decade ago people across the entire site made fun of that one tranny panel.

>>149012862
Would be nice if she could change her arm's into onaholes or maybe dildos

Obviously everything is going to be Fine(tm) by Friday, but man I wish something would happen.

>>149013205
There's speculation that the guy making these is about to break the curse. The tranny has been getting absorbed into vaguely described work as bookkeeper for an entire city, and Marten has had a lot of chemistry with this 19 year old genius with poor social skills.
>>149013291
Based.

>>149012537 (OP)
Hold on... something is actually happening? I never thought I'd see the day.

Marten is going to end up fucking the slime girl because she is the closest thing to a mother figure the midget needs and Marten is already the daddy figure.

>anons excited something is happening
You poor fools, this is going to be a monkeys paw
>tranny is the one that breaks up with Martin, Martin vanishes from the story
>tranny is the new MC and those resumes for team members are going to be our new supporting cast

IT'S UNHAPPENING

>>149013478
dude we already had the Claire arc and Jeph got so bored with it he was going to write out Marten just to wring some juice out of it. We WANT Claire to be the instigator after a misunderstanding because it lets things end with no one being the bad guy.

>>149012537 (OP)
This will be resolved within 2 strips and nothing will happen

>>149013733
I'll take that bet.
It'll be dragged out for at least 10 strips, and also nothing will happen.

>bitchboy wants cuddles at a specific sleep time
>just give me 6 hours to catch up
this is a big fucking nothing, gamers did a all-night session just to see the end of a videogame and then they spend the next four-five days fixing their sleep schedule
so what

>>149013111
Plausible excuse to appease the tranny fans. Claire girlbossed so hard that Marten is no longer worthy of her.

>>149012537 (OP)
at least he did different perspectives in the room I guess
Also has jeph never worked a day in his life?
How the fuck is some random ass pretend librarian/coffee shop worker supposed to understand how to manage and organise a city
this is a genuinely really fucking stupid storyline

>>149012862
Would it be cheating if she took her arms off and the skinny faggot uses them to fist his own asshole?

>>149016570
Do you have to use the slur version, faggot? You ARE a fan of this webcomic after all

>>149017972
what?

>>149017972
Evil must be called out at every turn you fucking axewound.

whenever claire shows up the IQ on these threads drop like 80 points

>>149012537 (OP)
This is stupid. The Dorktown was doing just fine without the Librarian. It's not gonna explode if she postpones some of her tasks, or at least the chances of it's explosion won't get any higher. There's literally no reason to rush.

>>149013307
> into vaguely described work as bookkeeper
Her job is to create stable and productive means of communication between different science teams, because right now communication is not only lacking, but also almost impossible. They are all way too wacky. Librarian is just a title.

sex with loli!

where the FUCK is the slime girl

>>149018369
Not to give Jeph too much credit but that's kind of the point. The jellyfish is clearly running the show and just needs a human in place as a smokescreen that performs mild actuarial work. Look at how there were multiple pages of Marten talking to Moray about how she's acting like a ditz but secretly keeping everything working, and her being rightfully insulted about what this would imply about her. This is the inverse; Claire is burning the midnight oil on shit that doesn't matter, and lacks the introspection to see what this does to everyone else.

>>149012537 (OP)
Marten dumps Claire
starts dating Dr. Loli
finally happy
end series

>>149020477
the human isn't a smokescreen; the jellyfish is too autistic to handle shit on a normal level. claire is implied to be doing useful work. but doc loli is the superior hole.

>>149020539
That's what's being stated by the text, but look at every single moron on this island. Autism is not the limiting factor here. The jellyfish already has an infinite Moray supply and the ones we've seen have varied in temperament and ability, being used for exactly this sort of communication and grunt work. I don't doubt some level of genuine project management is being performed by Claire but what's more plausible; a super AI can't run a laboratory without the administrative assistance of a random barista 700 miles away, or a super AI knows about a couple 700 miles away who is closely affiliated with multiple AI in military grade hardware, other superAIs, the Ellicott-Chatham family, and several high-profile social media stars, and so wishes to have those individuals very tightly within its dragnet.

>>149018386
how do scientists not know how to communicate? like just pick up a phone nigga

>>149018369
It's actually not, much as Jeoffe doesn't understand jobs or human psychology.
This is Claires first ever real job straight out of university. Rather than the Assistant Librarian at a small library for experience she's suddenly what appears to be COO of a combination Research Institute and town. The imposter syndrome would be huge. Overworking, particularly focusing on details that don't matter but are easy to manage is classic. It's also the classic track to a quick burnout.

>>149020870
> This is Claires first ever real job straight out of university
Damn… Alright, it's understandable then. Did Marten ever have a job? Doesn't he get what's going on? Now it looks like he isn't forceful enough and it's hurting both of them.

>>149020602
Well, the first one is textual while the other is conjectural. Claire isn't actually doing anything outside the scope of her degree (operations-focused Library Science degrees are just really specific business and database management degrees) with the bulk of the work being her having to create a department from scratch while integrating existing systems and organization. The Director interacts with people by literally ripping out a chunk of its IQ and offloading communication to a subprocessing unit that has repeatedly been shown to be barely capable of the task.

>>149020921
He had a sinecure position as a library associate which is where he met Claire, now he runs a halfassed coffee shop that survives due to lack of competition.

>>149020602
>a super AI can't run a laboratory without the administrative assistance of a random barista 700 miles away
as has been established, it is literally too autistic to do things in a way that is observably reasonable at our level. the jellyfish's whole thing is being so autistic that it comes up with neat things. the morays only exist -because- it is too autistic to be a librarian.

>>149020870
>Overworking, particularly focusing on details that don't matter but are easy to manage is classic.
I wish Jeph was conscious of this so we could get Claire hyperfixating on a literal bike shed.

>>149020602
I would be very impressed if this was revealed as the actual reason behind the biggest shift in the comic's history.

>>149021085
Whether it meant to or not, the Director clowned on Yay Newfriend so hard that they spazzed their intolerably smug selves clean out of the story, and for that it has my eternal respect.

>>149022019
Claire burnout arc 100% incoming

>>149012862
How did Dr.Loli whipe her ass before she got robot arms?
Did she wear diapers?

>>149022964
How do low-IQ fetish posters always gravitate to the incorrect spelling "whipe?"
It's notably autistic.

>>149023139
The same people who write 'wacky' as 'whacky' and 'psych' as 'sike' I bet.

>>149023139
>>149023186
Or they watch too much Family Guy and think CoolHwip is peak comedy.

>>149023139
I've seen retards on multiple boards type "wala" when they mean "voila"
Giving India internet access was a mistake

>>149023186
sike is grandfathered from the 80s

>>149023225
Buddy, I lived through the 80's and we spelled it 'psych' because it's short for PSYCHOLOGY.

>>149022964
How did she get her robot arms to begin with?
Was she born with nubs or was there a chainsaw accident? Presumably she didn't voluntarily cut off her own arms to attach robohands.

>>149023260
if you lived in the 80s and didn't live under a rock, you'd know that it was popular for a time to intentionally misspell words. sike, kool, krazy, a lot of k for some reason, XTREEM

>>149023323
I think it was mentioned at some point that she was born with thalidomide baby arm nubs

>>149023370
It wasn't cool, it was just marketing.

>>149023422
marketing works to make things popular, dunno who said cool.

>>149012537 (OP)
Marten my man, if you are so desperate for the futa cocks just slide under the desk and hive her a blowjob

>>149023323
You've seen how she looks at Evan. Dr. Loli started early.

>>149020500
Not even the end, just the next lap, the next loop.

Remember why he was in Seattle or wherever? He dropped everything and moved there in order to be with a girl, and then it didn't work out.
Why is Martin at Cubetown or whatever? Because he moved there to stay with his partner, and now that might not work out. This would be appropriately cyclic for him.

>>149024124
I still think the very last comic should be, Marten gets dumped, walks back into the dark apartment, flicks on the light, and
>Hey Pintsize, I'm home

>>149020921
>Did Marten ever have a job?
Marten had a nonspecific administrative office job at the start of the comic, and then moved on to working at the library where he met Claire.
He has significantly more practical experience with what Claire's doing than he does.
Both working and wrangling tard AI.

Moray will win the Martenbowl because she can simply absorb the other competitors

>>149024468
>Liz asserts dominance over Moray by drinking her then shitting her out

>>149022964
>>149023323
Guess that explains why she was unpopular, sneaking around school smelling like shit.

>>149017896
>Also has jeph never worked a day in his life?
lol, no. That's why the jobs he shows are coffee shops and streamers.

>>149022964
Handless people sometimes just use their feet to help with that sort of thing. It takes practice and flexibility but it’s not crazy impossible, especially if they’ve been doing it since toilet training as toddlers.

Or, yknow, bidets make things easier too.

>>149013185
I assume this is their room, so he was going here anyway.

>>149024427
what are the odds the AI knows this and hired Martin then Martin asked for some make work for Claire?

>>149025675
We were robbed of this ship.

Meph, you still have time to reveal they exchanged numbers and are developing a long distance relationship behind the scenes.

>>149017896
>Also has jeph never worked a day in his life?

He's been living off fan donations and merch sales for the last twenty years, he has no idea what the modern job market or work environment is like

>>149026579
So, what, she just hoped every singe toiled she went to had a bidet? Or enough room for her poopgymnastics?

>>149026773
Fair bet in some countries and she's Dutch-Canadian.

>>149023323

Born with a birth defect. Which means she probably had an aid with her that took care of stuff like wiping.

>>149026836
>ywn be Dr. Loli's personal butt wiper

>>149026696
No one in that family has any chemistry or worthwhile character traits. They are smug and miserable people.

>>149014593
Technically we’re only seeing one night of this sort of thing going on, but do you really really want this particular arc to stretch out to the three years’ worth of pages it would take to show the characters experiencing this repeatedly over the course of two canon weeks, just so it could not be a nothing burger? Or do you just want a little timeskip where Marten makes an offhand comment that this is one example of an ongoing problem, so we can get to the part where they therapy speak at each other for a bit and then make up, and then we can all get back to nothing ever happening?

>>149026884
>smug and miserable people
So what I’m hearing is: Dr Loli would fit right in.

>>149026884
More importantly, every one of them takes it in the butt.

>>149026931
Different flavor. It's like trying to get a cat to hang out with a pug.

>>149026931
Clinton was a more engaging character when he was an insufferable douchebag because it meant Claire's shitting on him was actually funny.

>>149026970
>implying Aurelia isn't on a regime of hormones to stave off menopause as long as possible while having a strict creampie only policy
The next major plotline should be Clinton's roommate knocking up his mom.

>>149026773
I’m sorry to be the one to have to tell you this: but yeah, using public toilets as a disabled person sucks. And that applies to a lot of different disabilities, not even just fetishy ones. Live long enough to become old and feeble, and you’ll get to experience it first hand.

Luckily Doc Loli lives in a weird fantasy scifi setting where she not only could go get herself some robot hands as soon as she wanted them, and not only could the toilets be more advanced, but sometimes they might even be sentient.

>>149027000
Fully agreed. Someone who was an absolute dillweed but also willing to call Claire out for every instance of bullshit was refreshing.

>>149027027
I once was late to a gastrointestinal appointment because I had an IBS flare right beforehand and their bathroom was out of toilet paper. Had to wipe my ass with the fucking waxpaper toilet covers.

Fun fun fun

>>149026971
>t. never seen Milo and Otis

>>149027024
It will be by me! Time to give Aurelia the hetrosexual child she always wanted.

>>149027045
You have my sympathies but damn.

>>149027045
Relatable. The pain of being in the same building as your GI doctor but winding up late because you had to spend 15 minutes in the bathroom there is so frustrating. They need a button in there that says "Hey I'm a patient I'll be there in a bit."

>>149027265
>>149027045
Solidarity. One of the cruelest situations ever I had was that the waiting room for for my colonoscopy appointment had one single occupancy bathroom and you couldn’t really go to another part of the building easily after you got checked in. So not only do half the people in there have some form of IBD but you’re all still dealing with the leftovers of the prep. That alone made me change providers.

>>149021085
Claire is so autistic shes thinks shes a woman, so that makes her even more qualified

just burn out my colon already god

Terrible

>>149027730
Uninsured yeah, insured you can get them for $30. I've got like, six of the fuckers at various levels of expiration.

>>149027730
Hannelore’s family are bajillionaires. She works as a part time barista and lives in a shitty apartment for fun, but she can still afford whatever she wants whenever she wants it. Even if she’s trying to live independently without her parents’ help, her dad probably still accidentally gifts her tens of thousands of dollars in just birthday card money without thinking about it.

>>149027747
Claire hasn't had a nose piercing since page 4820 as best I can tell. No idea when the gauges came out.

>>149027659
Deodorant, Hanners?

Some industries still use faxes even now.

>>149026224
that's not true. there have been a ton of jobs throughout the comic, and the comic was started partly as a way to complain about his former job of being an office bitch.
>so many coffee shops and streamers
the hell are you gonna hang out if it isn't your friend's cafe or your friend's house

there is so much bad about this comic and you had to go and pull shit out your ass

I changed this post to be about fisting as I was writing it because I was ashamed but the truth is the idea of using her detached still warm prosthetic hand to jerk off is giving me a throbbing boner.

Nobody else? Just me? Okay.
