Arthur...

Files

Lord Crusade

Well.... that explains a lot.

gatherer818

Oh. That explains... A little, anyway.

Miyaa

We need more pinstriped robots!

Spoogle McGee

It's a literal Beepocracy.

Miyaa

Also, one thing I learned very quickly in working for a local nonprofit organization how little people answer to a boss. You need some organization, but it is often surprisingly flat.

OMG I am 100% on board with the insanity that is about to ensue

Yonatan Zunger

What I love here is how alarmed Roko is on discovering that Beeps is the end of the reporting chain. I sort of think many people, on meeting their god, may end up with her expression in panel 4.

Alcaria Swain

I hate how attracted I am to Beeps

Michael Boettger

Um...how would Arthur actually draw this proverbial straw?

Anonymous

Poor Beeps. She really does need someone like Roko.

James Cooper

It's surprising that Roko hasn't had an inkling that Beeps was the boss. Doesn't seam that there is much personnel and I assume it's either a local NPO or at least a local branch of a larger one. I know the local things like the Lions club or vet's club in my area is only got an handful of people running them.

Rob McBobson

Clearly, Arthur knows about the Peter principle. If you promote people who show competence, then in the end they'll be stuck at a position that they're not good enough at to get promoted from.

Bailey Tighe

Honestly, Beeps looks like a yoga instructor with those clothes. I wonder if she would be good at that...

Grace Kieser

When did his name change? I thought the little pink Pintsize guy was Nelson, and Arthur was Melon's roommate.

Bagge

Sounds like SOMEONE is about to get the short straw...

Yep, this just reeks of plot-twist where something bad happens and Roku (now "in charge") gets left holding the bag.

I assumed Roko assumed it was a local branch of a larger NPO. I am thinking either this means it's just a local NPO or it's the head office and OMG.

Yep, he was named Nelson as of #3954: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3954

Brad Kirkwood

so either there's TWO little pink guys that work there (possible as Nelson seems to always wair a bowtie and arthur is wearing a necktie) or the writers forgot his name

Valraven

Honestly, it's amazing the place wasn't on fire when Roko first walked in. Maybe Arthur is just really capable with a fire extinguisher.

Valraven
>>32884482

Or, Arthur and Nelson are the same AI who realized they can draw two paychecks from this job because Beeps would just take at face value that there are two, Pint-size model AIs who she differentiates by whether they're wearing a tie or a bowtie.

Minzoku Bokumetsu

that's... exactly how I would end up the boss D=

BioYuGi

God this explains so much

kaitou

Some are born to lead, some have leadership thrust upon them and others just get the short straw.

Joseph Bonnar

The expression on Roko's face in panel 4 says everything possible about this particular strip. Bravo, Jeph!

Joseph Bonnar

Thought I remembered the term "shortstraw" from another comic... http://flakypastry.runningwithpencils.com/comic.php?strip_id=762

And being in management is a headache. Better to be a valued employee, so long as you get listed to, and have a manager who just lets you get on with the job.

Valraven
>>32885445

I used to read Flaky Pastry and can't remember why I stopped. Did it have a hiatus?

Blakey

Aw, poor beeps. I hope I'm more competent than she is but I would find the situation ("guess what, U R in charge now!") at least as horrifying as she does.

Thomas Halpin

Did we ever find out how Arthur got the experimental military Chassis?

Anonymous

I'm with Arthur on this one. I'd rather be capable underling instead of responsible leader.

Anonymous
>>32888688

Pintsize had a civilian chassis originally, but that was lost in a cake-related incident. The military one was (probably) designed to be externally indistinguishable from a common, harmless-looking model.

David Pipes

In retrospect, this should have been visible coming. Beeps has been trying to *hurl* her responsibilities at Roko for a while now. :-)

Anonymous
>>32892378

What about being a capable leader and having responsibility for a few good underlings?

Bagge
>>32888688

One of the many bad decisions involved in the design process of Pintsize's chassis, and everything else involving Pintsize

Ami

I'm... really fucking envious of a cartoon robot's abs. Thanks, Jeph

awgiedawgie

Called it. Beeps got the job without much of a choice.

Thomas Halpin
>>32888688

I assume it's recognizable from civilian models, because Bubbles recognized that it was a military chassis immediately.

Anonymous
>>32888688

But it's also possible that Bubbles has some . . . specialized . . . sensors.

And all that Roko wants are human abs... https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3700

In my considerable workplace experience, you get one or the other, never both.

I'm with Arthur! I enjoy being the capable underling!!

Is it just me or did Roko inadvertently stage a coup?

Anonymous

I wonder how they haven't burned down the building yet

Some Ed
>>32888688

As in "Um, why am I getting a friendly transponder signal from this bot? ... Oh, right, it's that line."

Daryl Sawyer
>>32914875

It's more like she was the hidden "true heir", with a prince regent only too eager to step down once she arrived.

Daryl Sawyer

Gosh, panel 3 Roko is pretty.

Some Ed
>>32884773

Thinking back to when we met Nelson, there was a display of at least 9 months worth of employee of the month, and at the time we all thought it was Nelson. But if Arthur is someone different who looks virtually identical except for the kind of tie worn, then Nelson and Arthur have been in fierce competition. Possibly Nelson with his paperclip versus Arthur with his fire extinguisher. Now the biggest question in my mind is why do I keep wanting to spell Arthur as Aurthur?

awgiedawgie
>>32914875

It's not a coup if the ascending leader doesn't actively seek the position, and the outgoing leader abdicates the throne.

Anonymous

Wait. Arthur? What happened to Nelson?
