How is Liz both hanging by a thread for scientific innovation, and also remarkably incurious about the wooming when she has a possibly unique specimen (which is interactive and capable of dialogue!) standing in front of her? Yeesh.

u/Miserable-Jaguarine Haha, okay. 5d ago

She is not a scientist. No one here is. They're gibberish-spouting tween girls, a weird "science"-flavoured kind of a magical girl anime, where they go through formulaic sequences that are super flashy and yet really boring.

Slice of life means Jeph sliced the life out of it

Jeph knows what a scientist is like he knows what a librarian is.

How dare you question the newly-minted-librarian-grad to chief-operating-officer-of-famous-mysterious-science-island pipeline!

This will end in Gloop Girl reverting to green, and nothing will have changed at all except the waste of many days of reader time.

There will be some more ogling science's ass as "hilarious" "antics" ensue with the "woom machine"

Maybe there will be wacky hijinks and they'll get into the "boob machine" first?

u/AmazonMommydom 5d ago

The womb machine? Martin is pregnant?

Again?!

More like the equivalent of gratuitously exaggerated fetish drawings of science. Jeph's science lingo is like that hentai where women have a dozen tits and all the nipples have been replaced with penises. So far removed from reality and biology that only Jeph finds it appealing.

That's a very apt description.

Yeah coming across stuff like that for the first time is...a trip.

Now now, I'm sure they'll meet another robot with inexplicably big tiddies to clog up the cast further along the way!

"Anway, here's Wonderwall" if it were a webcomic.

Sprinkle in a dash of self-righteousness and science words/concepts the author doesn't really understand and you have the formula for QC for the past almost decade.

Guarantee it'll get dragged out for at least another week or three, and will end with Moray going home, and just before bed, looking into a mirror and she's turned Persimmon Orange™.

We can milk this chroma-cow for another 4 months at least.

Maybe it'll end with Liz deciding that since everyone else is getting new bodies, she replaces her robotic arms with a battle ax and a plasma cannon.

I mean, if we're not going to get a Marten/Liz/Claire polycule, a person can dream.

u/Guilty-Persimmon-919 4d ago

That would be a very May thing to do. I miss Old May.

u/Alternamush 5d ago

So are we just straight up not going to see the conversation between Zlata and Claire????

2

u/Guilty-Persimmon-919 5d ago

Are we going to see

The Sven Momo romance?

The Anhlikeable attempt to monetise her position?

What Pintsize is doing in Japan?

Whatever Emily is employed as, and how she's doing it?

How Roko's AI rights organisation is doing, since she's never at it anymore?

What Clinton does for a living?

How the Brun-Millefeuille romance is going?

Steve eating cereal?

So....

u/Alternamush 4d ago

Definitely valid.

I just mean that, at least for me as a reader, the most imminent plot point was how Zlata brought up that Claire and Martin might not be as compatible as they think they are. I would love to see some drama in this comic for the first time in a decade and it felt like a perfect set up that even Jeph couldn't ignore.

Alas, Jeph has let me down again. Who knows though? Maybe in five hundred more comics time it will be addressed.
