Sydney J Freedberg
maybe the real mop is the friends we made along the way
lazymagpie
Faye going full Kratos "Find. It." on Ahn was not on my bingo card, it is nontheless delightful
enchantedsleeper
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
legobil
The uselessness is a feature.
Melissa Wilson
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.
Call me Ishmael.
Lizzie has one, in Allison Shabet's apocalyptic "Dead Winter" webcomic
Yonatan Zunger
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.
David Durant
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.
Michael Chui
No one specified "decent".
Hugh Eckert
There is no mop. Only Zuul.
Sean Kinlin
Just ask Stanley Spadowski.
Dalmeir
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).
BookBeard
I'm not sure Anh is floofy enough to make a decent mop. That won't stop Faye from trying though.
Bagge
Resentful mopping
Philip Masters
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.
Raymond Dannelly
Every mop is a battle mop, if you're desperate enough.
legobil
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.
Ísabel Pirsic
She’s gone Super-Fayeahn !!! Hover 9000 etc.
Captain Button
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.)
Jon Wilson
Unpaid internship?
Jon Wilson
Is it a battle mop?
Satya
In their world they have universal insurance even in the United States firmly proving that questionable content is it in a completely fictitious universe.
BookBeard
Perhaps they are one and the same. What is a mop if not a big floppy absorbant spoon?
Doc Gumby
Tell me Ahn doesn't have the best insurance money can buy.
Melissa Wilson
Or… You are the mop?
Melissa Wilson
The spiders are essential for flavoring coffee!
Joseph Bonnar
Which Ahn will INTERPRET to mean she's been hired. :) And that will be enough to trigger next weeks drama.
Stephen Wells
@bookbeard I can perfectly imagine Anh being found in a corner clutching a tall blonde mop, lost in an erotic haze :)
Mad Marie
...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'?"
allanfranta
Schrödinger's mop?
Mad Marie
Donovan?
Chris Warren
Anh is gonna make it after all.
Kith penDragon
This... this has gone Very Badly (tm).
Dean Reilly
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.
enchantedsleeper
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.
SilverbackRon
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
Zig Justice
Moo! Hah. Didn't even see my typo.
Rev. Eric Hébert
The is no Mop or The Mop is with the Spoon
djellafine
Maybe. How long do we think Anh will last doing grunt work? (Or any work?)
djellafine
Oh, this should be interesting.
Charles Hirst
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.
Mr. Ifrit
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
Eleanor
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.
Mr. Ifrit
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.
Bagge
...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
Ben R
Not the floor mop, the dust mop for God's sake!
YoPaulie!
Schrodinger's Mop.
Carrie
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
😂🤣🥲
Pejo
I didn't know what SNS was either but Brent's comment immediately made me think of the Pokémon games
Professor Harmless
Then she'll just have to get a mop.
Kristina
Social Network Service - just social media posting essentially!
BookBeard
Nope, she's hovering several inches off the ground out of sheer rage.
Fart Captor
It means you have refined tastes
Brent
I dunno what you mean by SNS but I keep thinking Sword and Shield (not the pokemon game)
AlexKorobeiniki
I hate myself for this but what’dya figure the chances are that Ahn’s good enough at SNS to drum up some business?
Gerry
I think I'm going to like Ahn.
Summer
It’s easy, just use Mopquest.
Stewart MacWilliam
Is Faye standing on her toes in panel 3?
Captain Button
Ah, a fellow graduate of the Harry Tuttle School of Revolutionary Plumbing.
Joseph Bonnar
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.
SpookyPenguin
Why do I have a powerful urge to play Ultima Underworld?
Michael Steamweed
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.
William Cole
First there is a mop, then there is no mop, then there is.
Yelling Bird
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.
Kristina
All of the trash characters are my favorite, what does this say about me?
Doc Gumby
(glad I'm not the only one who noticed)
Minzoku Bokumetsu
and STACKED
Aerin Moriarty
If Faye were single, panel 4 would be the start to sapphic bdsm slash fics I'm sure of it
Captain Button
Follow the magic reindeer fairy to find The Mop Of Mopping.
Magic Chopstick Games
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

Shine ‘til you whine
Shinymelon Fearnow
A wise man once said The mopping is easier Once you accept There is no mop.
BookBeard
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
Noah
My brain tried very hard to come up with a Ship of Theseus joke to follow this up, and failed.
Michael Boettger
Panel 4 is vintage, old school Faye
Doc Gumby
Wash 'til you... squash?
Stewart MacWilliam
Just look for the quest marker, Anh.
Joseph Bonnar
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.)
BookBeard
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.
Opus the Poet
If she does it right it will.
David
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.
Not that Patrick Foltz
Google lensing the entire place
Not that Patrick Foltz
That's the top of the pineapple.
BookBeard
Cut to six minutes later, Anh covered in blood, surrounded by flames and weeping over the shattered remains of a mop.
Doc Gumby
I'd better fill one of those out, it took me a minute...
Doc Gumby
The spotted puculent perhaps?
BookBeard
Dust 'til you... combust?
Sean Kinlin
"Seanh" is the Irish spelling of "Sean."
Call me Ishmael.
Try to realize the truth: There is no mop.
Logan Nix
or a hydrodynamic spatula with port and starboard attachments and turbo mode 😁
Melissa Wilson
A mop must be acquired. Purchasing one is cheating & will result in prompt expulsion.
Michael Steamweed
That comes next. "No, that's a _right_ handed mop. Go get me a _left_ handed mop!"
Uniquitous
Should've sent her out to get a left-angled drill bit.
Zig Justice
The moo both exists and does not exist until you measure for mop
Michael Steamweed
Level 1 gotta start somewhere. After she gets the mop, then she gotta kill a spider. Gets 10 xp.
joe velsher
Then it's an infinite loop of mop-finding. Unless you have a break counter.
BookBeard
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
Captain Button
Schrödinger's Mop
Call me Ishmael.
"Seanh" - Serves you right.
Zak Reichle
Weepy Sweeping is just going to require more mopping!
Maurice Kessler
Muuuuuuch better. Good work, Faye.
Hank Heyming
I came here to say that. Well done.
Zak Reichle
Seanh Yes!
Not that Patrick Foltz
It's in the potted plant!
Lord Crusade
God damn, that whole "holding the card" line went fucking hard. I Love that
Taigan
I think she’s just putting Ahn in a holding pattern until Bubbles arrives and can make the grownup decisions.
ValdVin
"When you're done with that, Ahn, sweep 'til you weep,"
Sean Kinlin
Anh googles what a mop looks like.
Wynn Donivan
Sean yes.
Doc Gumby
Use the Mopfinder app on your expensive-as-hell phone, why not?
Edward Clayton Andrew
And don't forget to get form ID 10 T!
Rich Holmes
I have long suspected mops do not actually exist.
ValdVin
Ahn is gonna cut her finger with a broom. And remember, Sam needed a die grinder to do that.
Shawn K. Younkin
When has hazing ever led to anything bad happening, ever?
Miyaa
Sean NO.
Sean Kinlin
Custodianh
Matt Grayson
The real mop is the friends we punched along the way.
Sean Kinlin
Mop 'til you drop.
Miyaa
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.
Bill Silvia
Faye, is hazing really going to solve your problems?
Celine Chamberlin
The mop is a lie.
Andrew Mitchell
There is no mop.
Zig Justice
Your first unpaid task as unofficial employee is to find the mop that may or may not exist
Jason Wotzko
Faye was being nice, not even asking for a left-handed mop
