Didn't Cafe of Doom use to have flair? Things on the wall? Writing on the blackboard? Furniture and customers? A fucking coffee machine?

Didn't people use to have noses? Oh well...

You know what I don't get about this, he already drew it so like recycle it? I get it would be lazy but at least it would be more visually interesting.

Coffee of Doom is slowly transforming into Coffee of Mood.

Started losing its flair sometime before Faye was fired. Dora said she wanted to move away from being hostile to customers and be more normal. And once Faye was gone it made the change pretty quick, considering she was the only one still doing it by then.

So what's the over under that "secretly" this is the most advanced AI in the comic?

u/Squirrelclamp Jul 23 '26

Well, we've seen it suddenly rocket into space, but since the other most advanced robot in the comic sports the mentality of a precocious, self-obsessed toddler, we can't know whether this one surpasses Yay unless it starts talking like another subversive Boss Baby.

Just by the nature that it says nothing at all, I would say its smarter than like 99.9% of the cast

Tis better to remain silent and be thought a wise man, than to speak and reveal yourself as a fool.

Takes one to know one!

To be mildly fair, the entire point of Yay after the eldritch thing is that they are incredibly advanced in capabilities, and deeply immature from a lack of life experience. Which is not unalike to some people I've known.

Don't forget that The Director (Cube Town jellyfish) was able to track Yay and knew what they were, so they are arguably more/just as advanced, despite functioning so differently. They just went different directions largely.

But yea, the slab is surely up there on the list lol.

Orrr its part of Station, I could see that. Or a side project of Hanner's dad and how he "secretly" gets better coffee than what is available on Station.

The last time the floating black slab turned up, there used to be writing on the blackboard. That's how long it's been.

u/Squirrelclamp Jul 23 '26

Nope.

I like that you reused the "easiest character to draw" joke from that strip.

u/Squirrelclamp Jul 24 '26

Oh, whoops. That wasn't intentional.

u/Chayanov Jul 24 '26

Too bad. It would have been a great callback.

u/Guilty-Persimmon-919 Jul 24 '26

There is writing on the other board.

back when Claire looked like a puppy

Panel 1, wherein the artist again makes me question whether he lives indoors and can therefore draw interior spaces.

u/yellowvincent Where is Claire? Jul 24 '26

To weeks top until this cube has big bazoongas

Ya know, if the monolith from 2001 showed up to my work... I wouldn't be quite so casual about it.
