Ah, we are getting a better taste of how weird the QC setting is this week. Excelent.

Joel Bateman

Oh. I know the Floating Slab that Emits a Low Hum. We went to school together. Pleasent Slab.

Chris Giesy

A customer service newbie's worst nightmare.

Michael

It just takes them awhile to figure out thier order.

Hope

So now we know QC ends with a space baby

Michael Boettger

The mini version of the monolith from 2001? That emits a mood elevating hum?

Anonymous

ah, the monument is here

Maybe all they need is an old bone to throw in the air...

Simon Green

I, for one, welcome our new caffeine addicted, low hum emitting, monolithic overlords.

Carl Fink

Floating?

Anonymous

Oh good! You're back!

…except Europa. Atempt no landing…oh can I get a double shot mocha to go.

Douglas E. Smith

Oh good, a Monolith. Just when you thought the QC singularity helped avoid the whole Hal 9000 bit... still good to know even star children need coffee.

Yonatan Zunger

I suspect it wants a single espresso. I'm not quite sure why, but it seems appropriate to a floating slab who emits a low hum in much the same way that tea is appropriate to a robot.

Next time, Claire leaves Marten for the clipart monolith.

The first time it showed up, a chimp killed Sara by hitting her over the head with a bone (the allosaur scavenged her remains). So Dora knows to get away from the monolith ASAP.

Ted Van Roekel

Ah, it's Welcome to Night Vale crossover week! Lovely!

Mad Marie

The espresso machine begins singing “Bicycle built for two”

Yay, meet Monolith That Emits a Low Hum. Monolith, this is Yay.

Anonymous

Look, it is C&C Music Factory! (A thing that makes you go hmmm)

Miyaa

Does Marten knows his Xbox is hitting on Claire?

Shawn K. Younkin

Welcome to your first day Claire!!!

Captain Button

Last time we invented murder. This time...?

Matt Grayson

"Dora! It wants a decaf proto-human with a side of femur. Wasn't that last week's special?"

Mad Marie

All…your…worlds…are belong to us.

Miyaa

Tomorrow the monolith visits Steve and gives him his next assignment: find out who stole $8 million worth of maple syrup from the Canadian maple syrup reserve.

Czarzhan

If one side of the slab becomes a doorway and Alice Grove steps out, I'm outta here!

James Redekop

Floating Slab that Emits a Low Hum? Any relation to the Black Cube of Darkness?

Anonymous

Any chance of it being a probability device in need of a strong cup of tea?

Mad Marie

“Open the Keurig pod bay doors, Hal-nelore.”

Sean Kinlin

Nice callback. Will Jeph unite all stories into a single QC-verse?

kaitou

It's full of something, but I don't think it's stars.

Sebastian

A censor bar in search of a Pintsize

Dean Reilly

'You also made grammatical errors here, here, and here.' 'COMMENCE THE OMEGA SANCTION.'

Shawn K. Younkin

We invented TOOLS the first time... that we used to HELP with murder... we had already created murder by then.

Jim Feldman

Came here for the 2001 references and was not disappointed

Paul Britt

I really loved Alice Grove. I found her strangely hot and attractive....

Andrew

Thus Spake Dorathustra

Ace of Hearts

Call Emily, she can't make the situation worse

Mad Marie

Emily enters and promptly begins speaking to the slab in hummspeech. “They said that they need compensation for use of their likeness on the ‘Be nice to a robot’ poster over there on the wall.”

Is... is that from Night Vale? Just how close is the QC setting to Night Vale?

Trip Space-Parasite

I always thought Night Vale was in the Southwest, so at least a couple thousand miles?

Jeremy J Nickurak

Every day we get closer to a crossover with my favorite OTHER Jacques' comic. That's right. It's time for DORD. (Seriously though, Alice Grove was wonderful too though)

Some Ed

Hannalore knows the need to qualify. So which of the other Monoliths have also visited Coffee of Doom? Silent Monolith, Monolith that emits a high pitched squeal, Monolith that Rick rolls, or some Monolith I haven't met?

Anonymous

Call Yay.

Obviously asking for earl gray with almond milk. I don’t understand the confusion.

Anonymous

Can Claire reproduce? Otherwise it seems a little pointless for her to be touched by the monolith...

Eric Sieck

My god, it’s full of coffee!

Anonymous

However, it only pays in cereal. Steve is strangely ok with this.

Nobilis Reed (personal)

QC is fairly psychedelic most of the time, but this is a turn for the bizarre that I had not expected. --N

Nobilis Reed (personal)

Also check out the last two items on the menu, "Advice" and "Good Advice" --N

Rémi Beaulieu-Dubé

I am digging the Sakurai-Sensei crown of flying sweat.

Timothy Roller

C'mon, throw the slab a bone.

Daniel S

*thus spake zarathustra intensifies*

sjlxndr

We are now the monolith who says "ickyickyptangboingwoop"!

Anonymous

Are it’s dimensions in a ratio of 1:4:9?

DrummerGeek

And now, the weather.

Brooks Moses

Nah, looks more like about 1:3:6. It's a _little_ monolith, short and stout.

MikeT

They're from Jamac.....I mean Europa

Anonymous

OH MY GOD. IT'S FULL OF BEANS!

The AnthroPCs have all evolved: Pintsize shows up in next panel twirling something bone-shaped in the air. Or, you know, *bone*-shaped.

Miyaa

Raaammmeeesss! (The man in charge! The man in charge!)

Anonymous

Delivery Slab is picking up coffees for it's friends (and also for money).

Anonymous

This makes me think Dora should make an effort to hire an AnthroPC for these situations...

Jon Guyer

In fairness, that low hum is not the most disconcerting sound it makes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAZRM3my10A

Jon Guyer

"Coffee... black... very black..."

Summer Sudbrink

I bet it likes its coffee dark.

David Howe

Emily would just get the Slab its drink....

jimfromtx

Now I'm wondering what circumstances Hanners *would* order the orbital strike o.o

Bagge

Just let it talk to the register in peace

Some Ed

Before touching the monolith... QC tech level is a bit uncertain on this point. There's also a question of whether Claire would actually *want* to, though that might be more clear to me if I were more obsessive about the comic. After touching the monolith, yes.

Some Ed

If you want me to go to that link, you're going to need a less disconcerting way to frame it.

Miyaa

If this turns out to be true, you should go out and play the lottery tomorrow.

Richard

I hope tomorrow's script is Dora whacking it with a club...

Sleepy John

I wonder what Bubbles would think of it. It's a AI in a body with zero points of articulation?

Ursus Ridens

So...is it related to the Black Monolith? (Cf. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHWs3c3YNs4)

Matt Grayson

Too many posts. Has anyone mentioned "Coffee black, full of stars"?

Anonymous

So happy to see the 2010 reference ("All these worlds are yours except Europa. Attempt no landings there.") For those who haven't read / seen it, I'd highly recommend. The movie lacks the beauty of the first (Kubrick!) but it has its moments and I do really enjoy it.

JourneymanWizard

This feels like a Night Vale reference. If you see the Librarians, do not make eye contact. Also, don't run; that way you won't be out of breath when you start screaming.
