Description
huhuhu shut up Ferris I was raised on dialup.A note on that drink Kila has: I sketched that on a whim and then realized that there's no way she could possibly have just gotten out and gotten fast food because the closest restaurant that will take her space-money is... in space.
At this point I could have easily changed it to a normal cup with a straw in it but then it somehow seemed even funnier to give her a fast-food cup if it's impossible for her to have one.
...
Well, it's not really IMPOSSIBLE, she might have bought that in space on the way here, not finished it and saved the rest in the fridge. But still, who does that?
I didn't get around to making a vote incentive, but please vote anyway. The comic fell off the top 100 while I was on hiatus.

Kila strikes me as the type who would dine and ditch, but that wouldn't work at fast food because they take your money before they give you food.

If the cup is plastic, I know some people who've saved the cups before. Love the above shot!

1. thanks
2. enough people are pointing out that she can reuse the cup that she will probably be seen with it again later

Lol Ferris, whatever internet service you got, I want it. No complaints about the cup from me here, in fact I didn't realize that until you mentioned it.

Makes me think of a Calvin and Hobbes strip in which the father remarked that computers caused one to raise their expectations to really impractical levels, and as such, computers didn't really improve life, they made it more stressed because of these higher expectations.
And when you really think about it, he's got a darn good point.
But for me, that just makes the gag here even funnier.

Hmm, that is a good point... I know when my scanner gives me an easily-fixable error I mentally comdemn it to endless unspeakable tortures.

It's a point no one really wants to consider though for two reasons: one, it's just easier to blame the device for not meeting expectations, and two, to resolve the matter of these high expectations the best would probably entail getting rid of the technology.
And who wants to do that, right?

Why, without technology you wouldn't be reading this comic right now.

Not to mention terribly bored.

I've always found it odd/funny/interesting that we're so used to everything being instant that if something takes just a little bit longer than normal, we complain about how slow it is.
One anti-virus commercial asks "Does your email take more than five seconds to load? This may be a sign of a virus."
Five seconds. Really? Just waiting ten seconds could mean there is something wrong with your computer. (Obviously 30 seconds means it's broken).
Everything has to move fast, get to where it's going, then move on without wasting one unnecessary second. If it stalls, it's obviously broken. Replace it with something faster that fits in the palm of your hand. That something must have iTunes, Apps, Internet, a phone, a clock, a map, a camera (that can take video), a photo editor, schedules and notes, voice recognition, GPS, and a puppy. (The next iPod will indeed come with a portable puppy or kitten)
Society definately seems to be evolving in the direction of having absolutely everything available to you with the blink of an eye.
Interesting.

You can already get portable puppies for the Nintendo DS.

.....or she kept the cup afterwards because she thought it was pretty. Or she wanted to LOOK like she had the real thing*coughlikemomcough*...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh yeah, that's true too.
She is pretty broke so she might just have been like 'oh free cup'
