Questionable Content 9: To kill a Yelling Bird

[Marnath]

They have a right to want to drink it, sure. And they can go get it from another coffee shop. Remember that a big part of Coffee of Doom's branding is the impertinent sass of their baristas, so this sort of test, in a "you want a super-complex yuppie drink, go to Starbucks' derisive way, is entirely something I can see Faye doing and getting away with it regularly.

Literally! It happened a lot, just look in the archives.

[Fawkes]

And because the rules of QC-world are crazy, having terrible customer service gets you more business! It's not a bug, it's a feature!

Nah, its hipsters that are crazy. They find the rude sass to be trendy and unique.

[Knaight]

I am in two minds about the test.

Because, first, a coffee order like that is a disgrace to good coffee.

But the customer has a right to want to drink something that tastes like a milkshake if they want too.

Hm.

Ordering something that isn't on the menu is hardly a customer right, and that 187 degrees exactly thing is just ridiculous.

You'd be surprised...

[Admiral Squish]

You'd be surprised...

See also: Ed Debevic's. Their motto is literally "Eat and get out!"

[The Glyphstone]

Precedent. It's not just Faye, this is literally how they train new employees at CoD.

[Wildstag]

So I know I'm incredibly late to the party with this observation, and it's not even on topic, but I just realized the brick joke with Raven. See, when Sven is first introduced, Marten says something about "picking up hot lady physicists", and Sven replies with "do those even exist?". As it turns out, Raven is studying physics in 1510, and Sven makes comments about her attractiveness but unavailability.

It's a 1200 comic brick joke, but it's still kinda funny now that I think about it.

Get her a bigger chair, Hanners, she looks like a adult in a grade schooler's seat.

I don't think they have any bigger chairs.

[Ravens_cry]

This interaction delights me!

[Dorath]

That's some tea.

[Emperordaniel]

I like Bubbles' new look in the last two panels.

[Cikomyr]

I had that happen to me once

[The Glyphstone]

Didn't Angus also have a giant over-reaction to his first drink at CoD? I think they may have bought their drink machine from a secondhand Heterodyne clearance sale.

[eee]

What's in that 'tea'. is what I want to know. The DEA may want to know, too...

Maybe this is Agatha's world, in the future! Things have calmed down, and the wackiness diminished but is not gone. It would explain the advanced science in some areas, like robotics and space travel. Hanner's father is obviously a Spark... and she might be, too, but she's stuck in the breakthrough process and that's what's causing her troubles... and perhaps one of the others is even Agatha's descendant! Raven, I note, seems to have sending objects through time down pat...

We do know that there is a "philosophical journal" named Questionable Content in Mechanicsburg...

[eee]

"Perfect! It's a PERFECT cup of tea!"

The Heterodyne side of the Force is STRONG in this one.

Not to derail the thread - much - but you reread those strips knowing what we know now, and it's a whole 'nother ball game.

[Emperordaniel]

Bubbles took off her trench coat today.

[BLoody D]

Zomg Soo funny

[Kato]

I don't know why but having the proper(ish) size scale between Bubbles, Emily and Faye due to them standing next to each other is weird. I can't quite say why, though...

[eee]

I assume this is a Thor vs. the Destroyer reference...

Faye's slouching.

[Cikomyr]

That's one bouncing rack

[eee]

Panel 3 is adorable.

Panel 4 is scary.

Wowser, that's a lot of recoil.

In the last two panels you can see Faye thinking "Flake... flake... flake..." non-stop.

[The Glyphstone]

Berf indeed, Emily. Berf indeed.

[SaintRidley]

Emily and Dora's faces in panel three are super adorable.

Berf.

[Lethologica]

I feel like Emily's faces in 'berf' panel and the next panel are a reference to something, but I can't put my finger on it.

[Iruka]

I wish I had enough hair to store stuff in it...

[Kato]

I wish I had enough hair to store stuff in it...

I didn't even notice that... But I think pockets and such are more useful.

Though, I wonder if necromancy is something you can do in Hogwarts... I mean, just minor stuff, like rats. Considering spirits live on in photographs anyway. Or as ghosts...

[memnarch]

Realistically, anything larger than a pen or pencil tends to fall out if you're not careful. At least, that's what I've found personally.
