Latest strip: 258 – Tuesday, April 7, 2026
Current story arc: Idiocraception – chapter: That's Entertainment
Heidi: That won't be necessary, OIB-A has found something. The source of the dodgy entertainment is an office building with a suspicious energy signature.
Zhang: With that, you mean it draws a lot of power from the grid?
OIB-A271 (voice from phone): Not really. It consumes a lot of power, but there is no significant input. It seems to have its own power plant.
Zhang: OK, that scores big time on the suspiciousness scale.
They are in front of a fancy office building with an “Ultrax” billboard on it.
Steve: This is it. Somehow I expected the building to be cowbell-shaped. I feel disappointed.
