Mandatory Quest

What if there isn't even a mop at all?????

Mandatory Quest

Comments

maybe the real mop is the friends we made along the way

Sydney J Freedberg

Faye going full Kratos "Find. It." on Ahn was not on my bingo card, it is nontheless delightful

lazymagpie

This is also what Faye did when that pushy AI wanted to use them as an unlicensed therapist, heh xD

enchantedsleeper

Bravo 😂

enchantedsleeper

Possibly xD

enchantedsleeper

The uselessness is a feature.

legobil

Just like anything is disposable, if it can be thrown away.

Melissa Wilson

Anh MTM reference? Nice!

Melissa Wilson

Nope; buying one is cheating! Theft & barter are both valid options, though.

Melissa Wilson

Lizzie has one, in Allison Shabet's apocalyptic "Dead Winter" webcomic

Call me Ishmael.

They don't, especially for small businesses. But this thread is about the accident insurance that the business itself needs to carry, since otherwise it would be directly on the hook for anything that happened... which here could be a lot.

Yonatan Zunger

Question as a non-US person. Do companies have to provide health insurance for people? Given how little Union Robotics makes I just assumed that Faye was uninsured. It does bring up the important question to whether Faye fixes Bubs if anything goes wrong with her chassis.

David Durant

No one specified "decent".

Michael Chui

There is no mop. Only Zuul.

Hugh Eckert

Just ask Stanley Spadowski.

Sean Kinlin

Sometimes it's just about feeling heard and respected. I'm willing to bet if Anh answered anything other than "Yes" Faye would have kicked her to the curb so fast! But regardless of anything else, she's not the type to turn down a free intern (as long as they knows who's boss).

Dalmeir

I'm not sure Anh is floofy enough to make a decent mop. That won't stop Faye from trying though.

BookBeard

Resentful mopping

Bagge

I dunno. She may develop a certain zen acceptance of grunt work. (It'll probably be a new experience for her, after all. (As in, the tale of the woman who was offered the choice of death or dishonour, and chose death on the grounds it'd be a new experience.) Or she may just grit her teeth and bull through long enough for her previously unsuspected (by Faye) skills to manifest themselves. As to why Faye is doing this - look, an unpaid pair of hands to do things like mop up has to be very hard to refuse. And she's just established that she can get shot of Anh any time she proves actively deleterious to the business.

Philip Masters

Every mop is a battle mop, if you're desperate enough.

Raymond Dannelly

There are ways to make Faye enjoy to mop the floor. One 3-step example: 1. Take the Anh. 2. Turn them up-side-down. 3. Mop until dawn.

legobil

She’s gone Super-Fayeahn !!! Hover 9000 etc.

Ísabel Pirsic

Not entirely, recall Dora didn't technically fire Faye until after the hospital bills for her alcohol poisoning were covered. (Jeph had to slightly rewrite a post about May's problems when we pointed this out.)

Captain Button

Unpaid internship?

Jon Wilson

Is it a battle mop?

Jon Wilson

In their world they have universal insurance even in the United States firmly proving that questionable content is it in a completely fictitious universe.

Satya

Perhaps they are one and the same. What is a mop if not a big floppy absorbant spoon?

BookBeard

Tell me Ahn doesn't have the best insurance money can buy.

Doc Gumby

Or… You are the mop?

Melissa Wilson

The spiders are essential for flavoring coffee!

Melissa Wilson

Which Ahn will INTERPRET to mean she's been hired. :) And that will be enough to trigger next weeks drama.

Joseph Bonnar

@bookbeard I can perfectly imagine Anh being found in a corner clutching a tall blonde mop, lost in an erotic haze :)

Stephen Wells

...and when you're done with that, here's several bushels of freshly picked corn; shuck 'til you

Mad Marie

"Did you mean to say 'Google Maps'?"

Mad Marie

Schrödinger's mop?

allanfranta

Donovan?

Mad Marie

Anh is gonna make it after all.

Chris Warren

This... this has gone Very Badly (tm).

Kith penDragon

Faye might want to rethink this. If Anh isn't being paid, she's not an employee, so she isn't covered by their insurance.

Dean Reilly

Regret telling Anh to mop? I'm being flippant, but Faye hasn't actually committed to anything. She hasn't hired Anh; she just told her to mop.

enchantedsleeper

For, like, a day probably.

enchantedsleeper

Faye's secret is they haven't got one, so Anh has to go to the store and buy them a new mop.

SilverbackRon

Dammit Sean! hahaha

SilverbackRon

Moo! Hah. Didn't even see my typo.

Zig Justice

The is no Mop or The Mop is with the Spoon

Rev. Eric Hébert

Maybe. How long do we think Anh will last doing grunt work? (Or any work?)

djellafine

Oh, this should be interesting.

djellafine

In my day, you were sent to the Stores for a ball of Whitworth thread - a bucket of blue steam - or a Long Stand. If you knew about the Long Stand, you could disappear for up to an hour!

Charles Hirst

I do (and did) various things for dramatic societies and some charities/good causes - free. Every so often, someone would expect me to do the same things for them privately and get quite upset if I wouldn't, so I started quoting rather large fees. That way, I wasn't refusing to help them, they were too mean to pay for it.

Charles Hirst

Also, I’m glad to see Faye has that in her. I realize I’ve read this comic for a good part of my life when I thought “wow, yes, this used to be you” and I am so glad it’s not anymore

Mr. Ifrit

Oh no, Faye, what is you doing? I was so happy in panel 2 and 3 when it looked like she was sticking to her guns but no. I guess we’re doing this.

Eleanor

I need someone to threaten me the way Faye did. That energy would truly make me question my place in life. Our Disaster lesbian just tanked a Faye nuke.

Mr. Ifrit

...I'm pretty sure mopping is easier with a mop

Bagge

I love that for all her bitching, Faye picks up just as many strays as Marten

Bagge

Not the floor mop, the dust mop for God's sake!

Ben R

Schrodinger's Mop.

YoPaulie!

I thought the moo only exists when you go through the portal.

Carrie

Cannot forget to file the TPS reports, Union Robotics has been negligent on having the documents ever done.

Carrie

😂🤣🥲

Carrie

I didn't know what SNS was either but Brent's comment immediately made me think of the Pokémon games

Pejo

Then she'll just have to get a mop.

Professor Harmless

Social Network Service - just social media posting essentially!

Kristina

Nope, she's hovering several inches off the ground out of sheer rage.

BookBeard

It means you have refined tastes

Fart Captor

I dunno what you mean by SNS but I keep thinking Sword and Shield (not the pokemon game)

Brent

I hate myself for this but what’dya figure the chances are that Ahn’s good enough at SNS to drum up some business?

AlexKorobeiniki

I think I'm going to like Ahn.

Gerry

It’s easy, just use Mopquest.

Summer

Is Faye standing on her toes in panel 3?

Stewart MacWilliam

Ah, a fellow graduate of the Harry Tuttle School of Revolutionary Plumbing.

Captain Button

Since all MY favorites are the trash characters as well, I don't feel qualified to answer your question.

Joseph Bonnar

A good tactic to use when they won't stop with the demands to buy. I've never faced somebody that rude myself, though, and thank Om for that.

Joseph Bonnar

Why do I have a powerful urge to play Ultima Underworld?

SpookyPenguin

Faye makes much progress, earning experience, leveling up, gaining new feats (business and relationship acumen).

Michael Steamweed

Feed 'em enough coffee, and, yeah, they get pelts.

Michael Steamweed

Ah! So _that's_ where the mop is!

Michael Steamweed

It is all about the journey. (and the spiders)

Michael Steamweed

True slashers / shippers wouldn't let _that_ stop them. Threesomes commence!

Michael Steamweed

I pulled a similar tactic with a (very) pushy house flipper who walked door-to-door in my neighborhood and wanted to buy my house. After a month of his crap, I told him, okay, I was willing to sell: five hundred thou (note: said house was not worth that). And every single day I saw him again, the price would go up another hundred thou. He finally left me alone.

Michael Steamweed

First there is a mop, then there is no mop, then there is.

William Cole

Reminds me of when I used to work at a bike shop back in the late 90's. This guy would come in every day and demand that I sell him my car, which was not for sale at any price. As time went on he became more and more adamant that I sell it, but he also wanted it for as cheap as he could get it, so he'd say things like; "Man, you should sell me that dirty old beater. What do you want for it?" "It's not for sale." "Seriously, what do you want for it?" I began to dread him coming in, but we sold him a lot of stupid shit for more than it was worth, so we wanted to keep him as a customer. So one day he starts in with his shit I told him I'd sell in for ten. "Ten THOUSAND? For that old thing?" "No. Ten MILLION. Cash." That bought me a few days of not having to deal with him.

Yelling Bird

All of the trash characters are my favorite, what does this say about me?

Kristina

(glad I'm not the only one who noticed)

Doc Gumby

and STACKED

Minzoku Bokumetsu

If Faye were single, panel 4 would be the start to sapphic bdsm slash fics I'm sure of it

Aerin Moriarty

Follow the magic reindeer fairy to find The Mop Of Mopping.

Captain Button

Faye: “Bring me twenty spider pelts!” Anh: “spiders…don’t have pelts..?” Faye: “BRING ME TWENTY SPIDER PELTS!”

Magic Chopstick Games

And your 27B/6, gotta have that

Magic Chopstick Games

Shine ‘til you whine

Magic Chopstick Games

A wise man once said The mopping is easier Once you accept There is no mop.

Shinymelon Fearnow

As she brandishes the mop, a goth barista jumps out of the shadows and casts magic missile. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1172

BookBeard

My brain tried very hard to come up with a Ship of Theseus joke to follow this up, and failed.

Noah

Panel 4 is vintage, old school Faye

Michael Boettger

Wash 'til you... squash?

Doc Gumby

Just look for the quest marker, Anh.

Stewart MacWilliam

Or, Logan, a hydrodynamic BATTLE spatula with port and starboard blood grooves and turbo slashy mode!

Joseph Bonnar

Faye? You are SO going to regret this. (Unless Taigan is right about her putting Ahn in a holding pattern for Bubbles.)

Joseph Bonnar

Upon finding that it is tall and thin with a floofy top, she is immediately reminded of Hanners and promptly forgets what she was doing.

BookBeard

If she does it right it will.

Opus the Poet

Maybe it's just the mood I'm in on this Sunday. But, man, I really need my regular QC, y'know? This one really made me happy.

David

Google lensing the entire place

Not that Patrick Foltz

That's the top of the pineapple.

Not that Patrick Foltz

Cut to six minutes later, Anh covered in blood, surrounded by flames and weeping over the shattered remains of a mop.

BookBeard

I'd better fill one of those out, it took me a minute...

Doc Gumby

The spotted puculent perhaps?

Doc Gumby

Dust 'til you... combust?

BookBeard

"Seanh" is the Irish spelling of "Sean."

Sean Kinlin

Try to realize the truth: There is no mop.

Call me Ishmael.

or a hydrodynamic spatula with port and starboard attachments and turbo mode 😁

Logan Nix

A mop must be acquired. Purchasing one is cheating & will result in prompt expulsion.

Melissa Wilson

That comes next. "No, that's a _right_ handed mop. Go get me a _left_ handed mop!"

Michael Steamweed

Should've sent her out to get a left-angled drill bit.

Uniquitous

The moo both exists and does not exist until you measure for mop

Zig Justice

Level 1 gotta start somewhere. After she gets the mop, then she gotta kill a spider. Gets 10 xp.

Michael Steamweed

Then it's an infinite loop of mop-finding. Unless you have a break counter.

joe velsher

Faye wisely holding onto that final "fuck off" card until she and Bubbles can talk about it. She's come a long way since the early days of the business. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3456

BookBeard

Schrödinger's Mop

Captain Button

"Seanh" - Serves you right.

Call me Ishmael.

Weepy Sweeping is just going to require more mopping!

Zak Reichle

Muuuuuuch better. Good work, Faye.

Maurice Kessler

I came here to say that. Well done.

Hank Heyming

Seanh Yes!

Zak Reichle

It's in the potted plant!

Not that Patrick Foltz

God damn, that whole "holding the card" line went fucking hard. I Love that

Lord Crusade

I think she’s just putting Ahn in a holding pattern until Bubbles arrives and can make the grownup decisions.

Taigan

"When you're done with that, Ahn, sweep 'til you weep,"

ValdVin

Anh googles what a mop looks like.

Sean Kinlin

Sean yes.

Wynn Donivan

Use the Mopfinder app on your expensive-as-hell phone, why not?

Doc Gumby

And don't forget to get form ID 10 T!

Edward Clayton Andrew

I have long suspected mops do not actually exist.

Rich Holmes

Ahn is gonna cut her finger with a broom. And remember, Sam needed a die grinder to do that.

ValdVin

When has hazing ever led to anything bad happening, ever?

Shawn K. Younkin

Sean NO.

Miyaa

Custodianh

Sean Kinlin

The real mop is the friends we punched along the way.

Matt Grayson

Mop 'til you drop.

Sean Kinlin

Oh no. Bubbles is going to have a fit when she arrives. Maybe Ahn too when Sam comes in and asks Ahn for her help.

Miyaa

Faye, is hazing really going to solve your problems?

Bill Silvia

The mop is a lie.

Celine Chamberlin

There is no mop.

Andrew Mitchell

Your first unpaid task as unofficial employee is to find the mop that may or may not exist

Zig Justice

Faye was being nice, not even asking for a left-handed mop
