She's becoming the Miles O'Brien of the cast. Also glad marigold's hair is safe. I love her.

At will employment is one of those things that sounds good in theory, but is horrible in practice.

How does one get ones hand stuck in a printer?

orangejuicenut

Somebody get that girl some bread. Maybe pumpernickel.

Dylan T

It *does* look cute tho

Grace Kieser

At least she knows a good place to get her hair regrown!

Socially appropriate greeting, Melon!

I demand the restoration of Roko's hair & a Union Robotics scene to go with it.

Elberik

Only sounds good if you don't know it also means "boss can fire you because reasons"

At this point, I think that I’ve gone from “Damn you Willis” to “Damn you Jeph"

Daniel Rydberg

Oh, How nice! A break from cow-sonas and Renee-Dan! ♥️

Adam Friedlander

Roko has a good handle on the relevant enjoyment law.

I ONCE GOT MY COCK STUCK IN A PRINTER! IT WAS FUCKING GREAT! THE PRINTS WERE LIKE A FLIP-BOOK!

It's a cute hair cut, but she needs to visit Bubs and Faye post haste to get her hair back.

Chef John recently put up a YouTube video for Japanese style milk bread. Maybe Roko can binge that. https://youtu.be/8N1BXksM-8Y

I know your tweet was about a future strip, but I also love the idea that Roko and Melon are the original cast and any memories we have of a coffee shop with an improbable name or some girl with hips and glasses are probably an application of the Mandela Effect.

So the HR department, Becky, is an AI, who may be discriminating against another AI? Quisling!! And I forsee a visit to Union Robotics for hair replacement.

If we only touched stuff when we knew what we were doing we’d never lose our fingers

The "I'm really trying" face in the last panel is perfect.

Someone get the AI branch of the IWW in here, stat!

If it was the owner's son that replaced the fired employee it might not be HR's decision but the owner's. The owner might be telling Becky to keep her circuits capped.

Aw I loved her signature ponytail!

Dammit Jeph I didn't need to know about your neck fetish

Danya Michael

To paraphrase Momo, "back in the vat she goes!"

BobC

Hair today, gone tomorrow.

Populuxe

Aw, look at Melon consoling Roko. And she’s right. Roko’s hair is cute.

Absentia

On the plus side She is super cute tho

Mandy Hoskins

My poor sweet Roko can't catch a break!

A. J. Alfieri-Crispin

Um, can’t she change her hair at will, or is that too much of a RTFM issue?

Anonymous

As I recall it requires doing a handstand with your head dunked in a bucket of solution that would dissolve human flesh. But that may just be for Momo's model.

Writing labor issues into this comic touches my heart. Thank you, Jeph.

Brent

Rip beautiful long hair :(

Yelling Bird

WAIT... THEY HAVE FUCKING ROBOTS, BUT STILL HAVEN'T FIXED THE 'AT-WILL EMPLOYMENT' BULLSHIT!?

MiqoRems

Unfortunately, it turns out the technology generally exacerbates the problem of people being monsters, not solves it.

Bagge

I'm sure beep enjoyed being rescued

Shane Wegner

What's Melon's job? I feel like it's something vaguely annoying like "uses spare processing power to unconsciously daytrade Dogecoin for a small profit or something." ...or maybe something cute, like one of those professional dog walking services?

Thisguy

I’m glad that Australia has Unfair Dismissal laws.

Lisa

I am guessing it's not a coincidence that this comic is running as the PRO Act is gaining steam?

Ben Russell-Gough

So... okay? Anything really happen here other than Jeph reminding us that he likes girls' necks?

ezazel

aw, poor droopy Roko

So in this universe we got human and super human level AI but Massachusetts is a work at will state?! How did that inversion happen?

Mark

TBH, while it might grow on me (as it were), at the moment it seems like an unflattering style that Roko is otherwise attractive enough to get away with.

Mark

While I would very much like to see darling Roko find someone to caress her with breads (I still have difficulty in imagining how that might work), Jeph doesn't give much screen time to the characters in boring stable relationships these days (e.g. Dale and Marigold), so we might lose her if she did. Of course, she has this job to infinitely and entertainingly frustrate her.

Mark

I'm sure the IPA-influenced Coalition would try to introduce this BS if they thought that they could get away with it.

If you have a crusading hero, you need a dragon to crusade against. The thing about dragons is that they remain arbitrary and implausible in anything other than fighting fantasy universes and even if the 'dragon' in question is political in nature.

I looked up „At-will employment“ on Wikipedia and there‘s barely an equivalent entry in any other language? - Fact is, I don’t understand the concept at all at this moment, but, seems fishhhy 🐠

Cole Blackblood

Basically, an employer can fire you without any real good reason, and just label it as "this isn't working out" or the like. And unless you have proof of discrimination, you can't fight it.

Aaron Schulz

Man I missed Melon and Roko.

Ruth Merriam

Cranky Roko is seriously adorable.

Oh, Roko... *hug*

Rodrigo Ourcilleon

Please dont ruin Momo’s hair. Her style is perfect for her!

Jim Feldman

How many "Becky" HR departments are there out there? Ours is little more than an IVR with recordings
