Terrible
This is how Hep thinks business works

Please OP, regale us with how the IRL Cybernetics repair industry actually works.

Stop posting this, faggot shill.

>"Starting today my daughter that posted the TikTok video is CEO!"
>The entire board: "Ha ha ha ha we can enact the clause where we nominate whoever because we now have audio and visual proof he's compromised. Thank you nameless CEO! FutureTech will miss you and name a campus after you. Maybe the campus where we make robo-bussy."

>shill

This is just retarded, almost too retarded by QC standards. She's gotta be knocked out. She's gonna wake up from being passed out from all the screaming she did.

>>149427850 (OP)
this is dumb, she can just say "no" on top of it

>>149428043
We're making fun of it, faggot, you dont have to read the thread

Unexpected plot twist.

>>149427850 (OP)
>This is how Hep thinks business works

that depends entirely on which way he tries to spin the outcome from his soapbox, assured that his understanding of the production of wealth is expressed here.

but then, none of his commentary makes any sense as played out in his comics. an AI singularity would be so many order of magnitude better at gaming a system than an organic person, and wouldn't be limited to a silly thing like a lifespan(which he still hasn't addressed in his AI world narrative) as to be encumbered on the wealth it could amass.

>>149427850 (OP)
What
the Fuck

On the other hand, we can hope that this is a way to shove her out of the plot, even if it is retarded.

Don't you mean full of faggots
also the mighty faggot scene is scrubbed from frinkiac dangit

>>149428123
It could be just a pr move to seem "with it", whatever that is, while the CEO has very little actual power and is essentially a figurehead with a golden parachute attached(golden parachute not included for the carnaval queen)

>>149427850 (OP)
lmao
In a comic about gay robots, this feels the most like a "jumped the shark" moment

>>149427850 (OP)
Oh cool. She's "poor" for like 3 days, then gets made the head of FutureLife at the drop of a hat. There's ZERO shot that Geoph lets Ahn fail.

Is this guy from backwards-land?

>>149428465
It is to big to fail. As we see with the wealthy like Musk who are just share holders. They can fuck up upwards and still live a good life. Its a class thing, an as we are witnessing in current times. They have different rules than everyone else. Wealth simply allows you to run away and pay off anyone.

Everyone is even more retarded than the norm for QC, and that's saying something. I have zero faith in this plotline, and the fact that it has "stakes" just means we won't be getting back to Liz x Marten for weeks.

Does money exist? Or is it all social credit?

>>149428637
Official QC lore says it shouldn't exist but it does anyway.

third panel

>>149428902
8th panel. 3rd would normally imply it if not for him retardedly saying there's no reward.

>>149428989
fifth panel

>>149429016
"Hopefully this will turn you into a caricature of capitalism like me."
Yeah, that's not a reward.

>>149429016
>>149429064
Whoops I was looking at the 6th panel. Well, working 80 hours a week with douchebags who hate you is also not great in itself.

Fathers absolutely do not work this way

>>149429498
Kek, do you think anyone who writes webcomics had a present father?

>>149428056
So you missed the part where he can actually blackmail her?

>>149429671
Touche.
I'll amend that to 'Enjoyed having a present father.'

>>149427850 (OP)
Wow he’s crazier than she is. This makes no sense, more than usual. This makes negative amount of sense. I worry that if I try to think about how Joph got to the point of thinking of this, I might lose some of my own common sense and become more stupid.

>>149428618

This part happens so quickly and abruptly that I think it would be more weird if he DID notice.

>>149429954
Clearly the claims of drug abuse and mental issues were him projecting his own issues.

>>149429695
Or they just ingratiate themselves with Anh using her severe daddy issues, ignorance, and naivety as an in and use their influence to lock out her dad. Though given that his company has a board of directors it means it has shareholders who probably aren't going to respond well to all this.

Agreed, this is one of the worst dialogues he's written in a while. It's like you can see when he both needed to actually think something through but then put the same amount of effort he does when he is just writing riffs between Marten and the harem girls where the chemistry actually does just come easily apparently.

>>149429954
The apple doesn't something something?

>>149430030
Having a board, means having shareholders, actually explains a lot of what's probably wrong. Most of what people see in the news that is "bad capitalism" is acts done by public companies.

>>149427850 (OP)
Is that supposed to be her dad? He looks the same age as her. I guess the little gray streaks are meant to make him look old? He has the face of someone under 30.

Best solution that will never happen:
Ahn accepts, board agrees, Ahn posts another rant about 'bringing justice' and liquidates the company. Donates all her profits to AI charities. Ahn Dad looks bad, FutureLife is gone, Ahn has to deal with robots who lost their FutureLife support plans, Hannelore's dad smiles because a competitor is gone, and of course, Spookybot sees all this from the internet window and smiles cryptically.

I can excuse it here because they’re asian.

>>149432111
I never read this comic. All I know is that A) it has robots and green aliens(?) in it B) the characters have dumb names like "Prendergast Wilkson-Brookley" C) it's a drama strip, not a humor strip

>>149432092
All of the appeal there is in the implication that this is a part of a grander plan that neatly ties many components together to work towards some solid narrative. And everyone who reads this comic knows that’s not Keph’s style.

>>149432131
>Prendergast Wilkson-Brookley
Okay that's funny

>>149432155
Anh accidentally causing a hostile takeover of her dad's company by Hanners' mom is actually a very reasonable progression of events given the circumstances.
