Latest strip: 284 – Tuesday, July 7, 2026
Current story arc: Idiocraception – chapter: This Sucker Is Nuclear
OIB-A271 (voice): This reactor has been built on a budget. It is functional, but all security best practices were ignored. It is prone to a pretty spectacular meltdown… I mean, “take the whole complex with it” spectacular.
View of OIB-A271 in the real world.
Max (voice): So… should the need arise, we can blow this whole place to oblivion?
OIB-A271: Unfortunately there is a problem with that. Triggering the meltdown requires passing through a zone with radiation so severe you could never get past it alive, you would respawn on every attempt.
Max: Major bummer. No big badaboom, then, I guess.
Heidi: This place looks like it was built by humans, but not built to be maintained by humans. Again seems to confirm my suspicions…
