Yelling Bird

Note to self: Move to Cubetown.

Andrea Andrew

I’m imagining that she sounds like peridot from Steven universe.

Tannerbot

These are pintsize's people.

Noise

Those expressions are very Peridottish, true.

Wynn Donivan

THAT'S IT! That's the precise voice I was thinking her lines in, thank you!

Captain Button

So they're like the Terminator, only with coffee instead of life.

Panic Blitz

“Forget it, Marten. It's Cubetown.”

Captain Button

A perfectly normal *amount* of social skills, but are they distributed in a normal fashion, or min-maxed with a dump stat?

Miyaa

Do goblins need coffee?

Amanda N

As a coffee-loving introvert, “enough pointless chitchat, come with me if you want coffee” sounds like high-key flirting 🥰

Sario

They are my new favorite

Ted Van Roekel

This feels like any research heavy college campus I've been on.

LH

is min-maxing a social skill something a reasonable person would do?

LH

Cubetown is concentrated QC, all the things we love about QC in greater than reasonable densities. instant QC, just add water.

Bill Silvia

It's "This friggin town" to the third dimension!

Fart Captor

Ugh I wanna marry the goblin 🥺

Fart Captor

I wanna smooch their gobliny little face

Richard

I would be conflicted—totally in favor of "enough pointless chitchat", but I don't drink coffee.

Obliviontoad

The future will be a coffee economy.

Richard

Stealth was the dump stat.

Zig Justice

I, too, have a perfectly normal amount of social skills. . o O (All of my life experiences, which consistently demonstrate otherwise, have to be flukes.)

Sean Kinlin

If everyone in Cubetown is unreasonable, they must make a lot of progress there.

Sean Kinlin

In panel 5 I'm getting a Lucy Van Pelt vibe from this character.

MikeT

No goblin eyes? She's learned to blend in!

Drazi

@Frat Captor, I would start to get concerned about you, except I agree. 🏳️‍⚧️♥️

Drazi

Please tell me you are on Mastodon. We need to be friends.

Tudza

Forget it Jake, it's Cubetown.

HillaryGayle

Honestly I want to go to Cubetown so bad. SO BAD.

Doug DeJulio

Main difference between Cubetown and my real-life environment right now is, fewer people in Cubetown are masking.

Captain Button

The WWII meme, because they are always peering over walls in the same fashion.

mammalsounds

Spoiler: it's gonna be some secret AI-Science-Grade coffee and blow his mind. Claire will discover him shambling the streets rambling incoherently about tasting notes that sound like maths equations and poetry.

Shane Wegner

The ship where Martin reasonably declines this sailed back in…mmm…maybe around when he worked out his agreement with Pintsize.

Captain Button

It is coffee Agatha Heterodyne made in Mechanicsberg.

Fart Captor

lol, I'm @FartCaptor on both Twitter and mstdn.social

Todd Ellner

Claire of the Clayre would blast her with Charter magic past the Final Gate

Todd Ellner

Is there any character introduced in the last few years -above legal age of course - you HAVEN'T wanted to marry?

Pejo

Fart Captor's resentful horniness is the wind beneath my wings

Pejo

FEWER are masking in Cubetown?? Seems about the same ratio to IRL to me.

William Cole

I still think Claire & Marten need to flee Cubetown with maximum haste, but maybe they could adopt Dr. Goblin, Ph.D., there are bring her back with them.

Michele Williams

I understand and absolutely love that reference. Faye is at least a minor Spark.

Nicole Widrig

I’m still waiting for more animals shaped robots, the jelly CAN’T be the only one! 😹

David Paul

Great-grandfather. Their father is Wilson from “Home Improvement”.

Ron Hamann

Resentful Horniness is the name of my new Pink Floyd cover band.

David Paul

Fart Captor is in line, they’re just trying to bulldoze their way to the front of it.

SpookyPenguin

My social skills come up to here *indicates with hand*

Bill Silvia

Is this masking in the "pretending to be neurotypical" sense or the "cough on other people when I'm sick" sense?

Fart Captor

Well, Todd, some of the new characters have been boys, so yes 🤢

Sparky

It will be what dreams are made of. Probably is also true that Cubetown needs all of their friends along with our couple.

Mad Marie

Some would argue that those are equivalent.

Mad Marie

…hard to forget Cubetown, though…

Mad Marie

The prior comic lacked a dump stat.

Andrew

And the other terminators are being sent back to switch people to decaf?

Mad Marie

Canadian goblins require more, because it’s metric.

Simran Khalsa

We did see a horse (I think) in the Cubetown background at least once. Plus there’s the spider (Gary?) from the ai support group in previous arcs.

Mad Marie

that fraternity never had a chance.

Leak

In fact, just flee immediately, do not pass Goblin, do not collect 200 damage...

Drazi

I'm Drazi@social.drazisil.com for anyone who wants to add me on Mastodon. 🏳️‍⚧️👋

Stephen Wells

Come with me if you want to latte.

Stephen Wells

In retrospect this is very close to how my wife acquired me. It worked out pretty well!

Stephen Wells

Peak QC will be when Bubbles and Moray meet at the coffee shop to discuss why they have buttholes. So, Thursday probably.

Light

In my head she sounds like Power from Chainsaw Man.

Mark

Will he be knurd?

Robert Wrigley

Being a "Reasonable Person" is something you need coffee to achieve...

Rob McBobson

Ooh, just as I'm rereading GG, too! Delightful! :)

Rob McBobson

Fun fact: The Swedish translator of that novel didn't get that "knurd" was "drunk" backwards, and used the word "knurd" instead of the Swedish equivalent "lluf".

David F

I also have a perfectly normal amount of social skills

Miyaa

Didn’t know Girl Genius got translated into Swedish.

David Durant

It's too late. Claire's already accepted that she's effectively going to be the COO before heading on to world domination.

ValdVin

Marten is very well-supplied with friends who insist they "have a perfectly normal amount of social skills". Marigold, Hanners, Clinton, Emily... And now he has one more.

ValdVin

Totes jelly. I have to bend my knees to get my hand to indicate the proper level.

Andrew Diseker

Please tell me her name is Kilroy…

Bagge

We can all note that Marten didn't walk away. Seems like he has adopted another one

OldGoat

Kilroy, it would be quicker if you'd just say, "I'll lead you to coffee if you're buying." She clearly need a fix.

Clifton Royston

Punching people is her actual dump stat. She ends up bluffing a lot.

Clifton Royston

Followed from @wandering.shop! Happy to follow any of you happy loons on Mastodon who want to share.

Clifton Royston

I think we've seen an AI octopus back in Northhampton too. Edit: Oh, and there's the AI robot humpback whale that *should* have been Marten's life companion instead of Pintsize, except all the sensor readings were thrown off because Marten was terrified of Gary the AI spider. (That's way *way* early in the strip.)

Clifton Royston

She's lying. She actually has perfectly Poisson distributed social skills - they appear out of nowhere from time to time, at random intervals.

Clifton Royston

It does have that St. Charlie vibe to it doesn't it? And, years too late, I finally got the Charlie joke.

Captain Button

Hey, the essentials of life should not be enslaved by capitalism! (Don't tell Dora I said that.)

Captain Button

"Normal" as in perpendicular to everything else?

Captain Button

"Faye is at least a minor Spark." Cubetown's problem is a classic "Too many Sparks, not enough Minions." situation.

Captain Button

There's also Ms. Chatham's robo-polo-horse.

Leak

Then ask Station to dough Cubetown from orbit - it's the only way to make sure...

Clifton Royston

Step 1. Figure out how to turn yourself into a cartoon character. Step 2. Move to Northampton &/or Cubetown Step 3. Get Dora to help you plan your poly marriage to every single one of the new non-male human & robot characters. Step 4. Happy ever after. Sounds like a good plan to me

Clifton Royston

Followed! I had to put @drazisil@social.drazisil.com for it to actually find you.

YsabetJustYsabet

Oh gods, now I hope her name really IS Kilroy. Too perfect.

Clifton Royston

Huh. Your reply is in my inbox but not showing for me here. I've seen that before; Patreon has at least a short-term consistency problem. (ACID) Anyway to answer the question that hasn't yet appeared: It's tempting to pose as an E3v1l H4x0r, but I just tried searching "@social.drazisil.com" and you popped up. If you hadn't, I would have tried @drazisil anyway, as the domain name looked like a personal instance.

Drazi

I deleted the question, because I tried twice, and posted under someone else both times. Good to see that Patreon is just being Patreon.

setite

People who think they are invisible absolutely DON'T need more coffee.

David Paul

I find it easier just to use my foot. The awkward glances help me to lower my foot as I re-evaluate.

jonesnori

I'm jonesnori at wandering.shop

Ursus Ridens

"...no reasonable people here..." So, the alt-Northampton fairy lady, VespAvenger, and (I suppose) Pizza Girl didn't make the place unreasonable enough, Jeph?

OldGoat

But @David W, there are many, invisible and otherwise, who decline to recognize the chasm between want and need.

Chewbacca

Forget it Marten, it's Cubetown...

Jim Feldman

Shouldn't that be "Jake"?
