THE GREAT NOUN ADVENTURE RETURNS!
Every June, patrons on Patreon suggest nouns and I combine them in unique ways. See the results!
In other news…
First, this comic is brought to you again by the two stalwart supporters The Lurker and Jeremy, who are both Mayor of Pucksburg again. Maybe you’re generous enough to join them! CHECK OUT THE PATREON!!!
As for this comic…
I think most people saw this one coming from last week’s comic. But yes, we are dabbling our toes just a little into the sci-fi side of things. Heck, for all these years, people have been asking, “Where are all the other mythical beings in this universe?” What they should have been asking was, “Where are all the robots?”
I don’t aim to please. I sometimes aim to confuse.
Ahh the childhood dreams of a young faerie.
So sweet hahahaha
It’s a cribbed line from Oscar Wilde’s “The Importance of Being Earnest.” Only the severed head part is my addition.
Oh my, Phoebe’s swimwear gets smaller every year
Hey, I’m not to blame for the changing whims of fashion.
Yikes, I have to admit if that’s a robot that Puck punched, then who’s controlling it?
My guess: evil AI overlords.
Well, not that it’s not attached to her body, she can forget her head.
Would look really good over a mantle somewhere.
Ancient Fairy – 1
Evil Robot – 0
Seriously, I know tech can be rather fey like, or even eldritch itself, but its still a baby dipping its toes in the shallows. It does not know the Deep Magic.
Of punching people in the face.
Honestly, tech loses a lot of its power when you have direct access.
I had a wierd thought during the week. Last week, I reffered to the robot being AI, not a robot. Yes, robots may run on AI, but we reffer to the physical body as a robot.
Somehow, I feel that these days its preferable to refer to something as an Evil AI, rather than Evil Robot. Probably because AI is here, and an issue.
It’s an evil AI robot. And unlike many current robots, this one is self-contained, a la most classic sci-fi stories of robots.
Now now Daphne, don’t go losing your head over this! Remember, you love it when a plan comes together!
Daphne does not like surprises.
Daph? What are you doin’? Stop panicking. Stop it right now. In with the good air and out with the bad.
Man, those are dark eyes. That explains a few things.
Does it explain a few things? Or does it pose more questions? Enh, probably both.
I would like to have met her when she was a child.
It would have been a LONG time ago.
