Acing The Interview
Added 2025-02-26 01:40:19 +0000 UTChmm the preview still looks weird even though Patreon support told me the issue had been "fixed"

Apparently she's just doing this spontaneously, which is maybe worse.
Stephen Wells
2025-02-28 11:40:25 +0000 UTCThrow in a good offroad truck and 3000 acres of swampland and we have a deal!
Joseph Bonnar
2025-02-28 07:05:25 +0000 UTC@enchantedsleeper that’s an excellent guess. 😝 He couldn’t speak to the skills we needed & started scrolling social on his phone after that, so we called the interview short.
Melissa Wilson
2025-02-27 11:56:46 +0000 UTC@John Anderson Yes; it’s a canned response I practiced back when I was a corrections counselor. Flattering someone can be an effective way to deviate from a topic one doesn’t feel comfortable with; I was trained not to take the bait.
Melissa Wilson
2025-02-27 11:54:46 +0000 UTCGood job Jeph, I actually laughed out loud at how awful Anh was here :D
fx_in_mind
2025-02-27 06:54:47 +0000 UTCyou surely mean the Ahnti-Marten ;)
Jimmy Thorsell
2025-02-27 04:20:33 +0000 UTCMuch more of Anh, and Faye will give Claire a run for her money in the "lift glasses, rub bridge of nose" sweepstakes.
ValdVin
2025-02-27 03:24:48 +0000 UTC... She came out to her parents and was disowned / thrown out, wasn't she?
KiTA
2025-02-27 01:40:53 +0000 UTCjust can't see how this DOESN'T end with a shovel, a tarp and some duct tape.
Jim Feldman
2025-02-27 01:30:19 +0000 UTCMan, it took me *way* too long to get that reference!
David Durant
2025-02-27 01:12:48 +0000 UTCBut I'm guessing they didn't get the job xD
enchantedsleeper
2025-02-26 23:50:32 +0000 UTCCamera pan across to Pintsize, looking impressed, taking notes.
enchantedsleeper
2025-02-26 23:47:56 +0000 UTCI was actually thinking you meant panel 3, which I would say IS a boob stare from Anh xD
enchantedsleeper
2025-02-26 23:44:55 +0000 UTCThe preview fixes for me when it’s been uploaded for a while

Miyaa
2025-02-26 23:23:03 +0000 UTCAnd somewhere, someone is making a new TV Trope entry. Not me, I don’t know how to make a new page on there.

awgiedawgie
2025-02-26 23:13:49 +0000 UTCThe expanded version is looking blurry on desktop (Mac). :(
joFinndian
2025-02-26 22:05:56 +0000 UTCDepends. If they’ve got half a brain, even a rich person who inherited their money will realise that *someone* has to manage it. Usually, that means they hire someone — but it’s possible that their parents made sure that they learned the basics, mostly to reduce the risk of getting scammed.
Philip Masters
2025-02-26 21:52:19 +0000 UTCSeems to work fine on mobile btw, for anyone having issues viewing still!

Hugh Eckert
2025-02-26 17:12:50 +0000 UTCI don't think Anh is really Faye's type. Not anymore, anyway. [Sven and Angus off-screen looking dejected]
Mikey Bear
2025-02-26 16:45:19 +0000 UTCThe preview was blurry yesterday, but all look fine to me now. So issue is at least partly resolved?
Raymond Dannelly
2025-02-26 15:52:38 +0000 UTCYou're quite generous in assuming that the very rich categorize servants as "people". Servants are more of a thing that happens around them.
BookBeard
2025-02-26 15:50:59 +0000 UTCThe really rich only know 3 types of people: Family, Peers and Servants. You figure out where you are on that list.
allanfranta
2025-02-26 14:30:59 +0000 UTCShe did say, in the course of her drunken ramble, that she didn’t think her parents loved her. They may have been somewhat uncool about her bi-realisation without going full never-darken-my-doorstep-again; stack that with her whole identity crisis and the subconscious view of the east coast as the place where all this started, and fleeing home this way could seem kind of logical to her.
Philip Masters
2025-02-26 13:53:05 +0000 UTCYeah just keep digging that hole
Eric R Queen
2025-02-26 13:51:22 +0000 UTCAh, that explains the suitcase and the need for somewhere to stay. It wasn’t clear that home was a continent away.
Philip Masters
2025-02-26 13:46:31 +0000 UTCI'd assume that, as one who has inherited rather than earned and saved money, money management is her least likely useful skill.
Rich Holmes
2025-02-26 13:41:31 +0000 UTCRegarding no longer being able to view at full resolution: Got a note from Patreon support saying "We're working on a user experience for that which will be even better than what you used to have, meanwhile enjoy the one that's worse than what you used to have." Or words to that effect.
Rich Holmes
2025-02-26 13:40:00 +0000 UTCI’d assume that money management is her most likely useful skill, but presumably her claim to know all about robots has *some* basis in reality. Inherited tech talent, despite her air of inherited-money uselessness? Inside knowledge of next-generation technological developments?
Philip Masters
2025-02-26 13:37:28 +0000 UTCThat’s head down but eyes *up*. Aggressive expression for short people.
Philip Masters
2025-02-26 13:34:48 +0000 UTCChip stains and grease, but it's silicon chips.

Graydon Armstrong
2025-02-26 11:49:30 +0000 UTCMy guess is that she is doing a whole "journey of self discovery" thing, but knows probably two-fifths of bugger all about humility and/or other people.
David Paul
2025-02-26 11:09:17 +0000 UTCyesterday the preview looked like it didnt render properly like if you set youtube to 240p, couldnt even read the text, it looks way better today, but i think i see what jeph means, but at this point it could just be confirmation bias thats making it seem blurry XD

Alasdair Mackintosh
2025-02-26 08:14:23 +0000 UTCThe skill is tax evasion.
Bill Silvia
2025-02-26 07:53:21 +0000 UTCThat’s a very tolerant response.
John Anderson
2025-02-26 07:50:50 +0000 UTCI may lack Jeff’s keen eye, but not today’s and yesterday’s looked fine to me, on Patreon and email.

2025-02-26 07:38:21 +0000 UTCI am not sure. I don't really see Jeph writing an intolerance story line, but he has repeatedly surprised us all with his storytelling skills.
SilverbackRon
2025-02-26 07:27:51 +0000 UTCBoob stare in panel four...
Anders Rapp
2025-02-26 07:24:46 +0000 UTC@ Andrew You Keep Using That Word, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means (Actually true)
SilverbackRon
2025-02-26 07:20:57 +0000 UTCAnh is the Bechdel pest
BookBeard
2025-02-26 06:50:51 +0000 UTCYou also can't spell fremesis without "rife mess", which seems appropriate given the state of Anh's life.
BookBeard
2025-02-26 06:46:57 +0000 UTCanh is fantastic. it’s so rare for female characters to get to be completely insufferable on their own merits (as in, not in a way that is intrinsically linked to a man). i hope she gets even worse. i love her

2025-02-26 04:51:21 +0000 UTCYesterday's is OK for me. Might be yours is cached.
Rich Holmes
2025-02-26 04:49:54 +0000 UTCOh Jesus 😂😂😂😂 You have to be fully familiar with Fays personality to realise just how frighin' hilarious this strip is. No wonder Bubbles' Faye radar (Fayedar?) is pinging right now... I mean, I live in Australia and I can feel the explosion brewing from here!! 🤣🤣
Shannon Woodbury
2025-02-26 04:46:42 +0000 UTCAh! I did say of various temperatures. He be chill, but Martin has his messes.
Edward Clayton Andrew
2025-02-26 04:42:59 +0000 UTCHey I laughed. I really should have though, that was awful! 😂😂
Shannon Woodbury
2025-02-26 04:42:52 +0000 UTC...Martin? Probably the most chill and normal of the whole bunch. 😂
Shannon Woodbury
2025-02-26 04:41:40 +0000 UTCAnd remember, you can't spell fremesis without emesis!

Sean Kinlin
2025-02-26 03:38:31 +0000 UTCOkay, wild theory dredged up from the distant past: A long time ago Marten's mom, who lived in California at the time, said she had clients who "move in the same circles" (i.e. rich people) as Hanners' mom. Now we find out that Anh's billionaire parents are California-based. I'm calling it now: one, or both, of Anh's parents are former clients of Veronica. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1831
BookBeard
2025-02-26 03:31:23 +0000 UTCOMG & now I’m flashing back to a repressed memory of a candidate I was interviewing telling me I had a sexy voice. “I don’t think that’s an appropriate topic for us to explore…would you please answer my question?”
Melissa Wilson
2025-02-26 03:30:07 +0000 UTCSend her out to do manual labor for a while. Hmm, subway tracks repaired perhaps? Oh, AHN BEEN WORKING ON THE RAILROAD...
Joseph Bonnar
2025-02-26 03:29:37 +0000 UTCNah, that still wouldn't have been the case with Old Faye. To be sticking out of a trashcan would imply that they were still in one piece.
Thunder
2025-02-26 03:28:15 +0000 UTCAnh has come out as bisexual, and figures she must also be bicoastal.
Sean Kinlin
2025-02-26 03:28:00 +0000 UTCOn the other hand, she certainly has impressive oral skills, for how much she's managing to not choke on her foot.
Thunder
2025-02-26 03:24:51 +0000 UTCI think Faye has a fremesis!
Sean Brannon
2025-02-26 03:24:01 +0000 UTC@ Graydon I concur. I’m not sure why, but I imagined it that way too, so it must be true.
Melissa Wilson
2025-02-26 03:22:51 +0000 UTCSome might say this was poorly conceived.
Thunder
2025-02-26 03:21:41 +0000 UTCThis is like watching a squirrel hop into the lion exhibit at the zoo. It might survive but only depending on if the lion cares enough to end it all.
Commodore_Perry
2025-02-26 03:19:38 +0000 UTCI suspect the fam has been deeply uncool about Anh’s recent self-discovery, but I just find her so abrasive, I can’t bring myself to worry about her. This will suck for her, but it will be the kind of suckage that will make her better.
Melissa Wilson
2025-02-26 03:16:54 +0000 UTCThis comic has had its share of human dumpster fires, but Anh might be the dumpsterest fire yet.

Melissa Wilson
2025-02-26 03:06:13 +0000 UTCShe’s just SO BAD at it (& I should know, seeing as how I make a living interviewing people…)
Melissa Wilson
2025-02-26 03:04:06 +0000 UTCI mean, she *could* actually be quite knowledgeable about robotics. She's an heiress to a tech company, it's not *impossible* that she got interested in the family business. ... but it has to be said the "and stuff" in that sentence doesn't exactly inspire confidence...

Everett Bradshaw
2025-02-26 02:58:25 +0000 UTCIf Bubbles doesn't get there soon, Faye is going to explode.
Doc Gumby
2025-02-26 02:57:16 +0000 UTCBut will the boy who likes Anh but was too shy to say anything follow her here? (Sorry, I've been rereading Megatokyo.)
Captain Button
2025-02-26 02:55:50 +0000 UTCOh, no. No. No. No. Also, absolutely not.
Maurice Kessler

2025-02-26 02:51:57 +0000 UTCWow, time in this scene really flying bi.
Andrea Andrew
2025-02-26 02:51:15 +0000 UTCThe preview's back up to 620x899 which is what it used to be. However it's still set up as attachment rather than inline, which means you can't open it in a new tab at the full 800x1160 resolution. You can download it, that's it.
Rich Holmes
2025-02-26 02:50:42 +0000 UTCWhile she seems like an idiot, why won't I be surprised if she ends up being as skilled as Corpse Witch. And while they don't seem to work on that aspect of robotic repairs, being able to could be useful.
Jared Kolbly
2025-02-26 02:48:52 +0000 UTCI didn't think there were any buttons left to push but Ahn has a genius for finding more

Carrie
2025-02-26 02:46:30 +0000 UTCI feel like bifurcation would be perpendicular to her intermediate axis (into left and right parts) and bisection would be perpendicular to her major axis (into above-waist and below-waist parts).

Hawkeye
2025-02-26 02:32:05 +0000 UTCThey talked at the weddding, and Faye realized she was insufferable like this before mellowing out
Olivier Laroche
2025-02-26 02:31:34 +0000 UTCI feel like I missed something - did they interact at the wedding or why did Faye hate her already?
Ilana
2025-02-26 02:25:35 +0000 UTCSeriously, this strip belongs somewhere amongst the Captain Slocum, Morro Castle, and the SS Eastland.
ValdVin
2025-02-26 02:25:07 +0000 UTCOr did they....
Donna Flint
2025-02-26 02:19:06 +0000 UTCWhile Anh is a terrible person, I do love watching videos of catastrophic destruction. The Beirut Warehouse Explosion, The Mount St Helens eruption, The 1989 San Francisco Earthquake, Etc... I can add this interview to the list!
William Davy
2025-02-26 02:17:11 +0000 UTCShe is vary not good at this
Kyle Major
2025-02-26 02:16:57 +0000 UTCYeah, unless Bubs has a timely arrival, I'm pretty sure this is going to end in violence...
kupo
2025-02-26 02:16:47 +0000 UTCI want Anh to get shit-faced and wake up having sex with Pintsize. Of course, if she read that dating an AI pervert was now the in thing to do she'd be all over it.
OldGoat
2025-02-26 02:16:27 +0000 UTCFaye, your face is going to stick like that!
Kenneth Carlile
2025-02-26 02:11:15 +0000 UTCFaye punches Anh out (oooo, that'll leave a mark!) and Roko's former partner O'Mally takes the call. "T'was a perfectly reasonable response. Ye'd best be gittin' yer over-privileged arse outta Massachusetts by sundown!"

Just James
2025-02-26 01:53:40 +0000 UTCThis situation makes sense only if Anh is working down a bucket list. She's on "being bi-snarky" right now, with next being to find the droid she's looking for.
BobC
2025-02-26 01:53:31 +0000 UTCIt's definitely more legible than last night but I don't know if I bi that Patreon's fully fixed it back to the way it used to work.
Aerin Moriarty
2025-02-26 01:52:11 +0000 UTClong-time software dev here to share that "fixed" is specialized software jargon for "somebody may have done something that might, in theory, affect and possibly even improve that thing you claimed was happening, OR somebody somewhere tried it and it worked for them so we don't believe you, OR your issue got lost and you should resubmit it."
Spike McLarty

Captain Button

David Blood

Tannerbot
2025-02-26 01:47:39 +0000 UTCI confess I’m a little worried about Ahn. Why is a self-described heiress traveling cross-country for a job? Did her family react poorly to her coming out? Are her means no longer as robust as they were?
Taigan
2025-02-26 01:47:36 +0000 UTCOn mobile I have absolutely no problem with the previews. I have no idea what y'all are going on about
Alcaria Swain
2025-02-26 01:47:30 +0000 UTCThe fact that Anh isn't sticking out of a trashcan upside down is indicative of Faye's growth as a person.
