2008-11-21: Open Mic (flat beat)

Still going

Yeah, I don't know. Five hundred and one just isn't as exciting as five hundred.

I should do a whole week of comics about what happens to the idea of "intellectual property rights" in a nondualist universe with strong AI. Hey maybe that's our universe!! Hint: all rights are extrinsic.

This comic is in the following storylines:

Variations
A long-running series, maybe the crux of the site. Reader submits a suggestion, and I draw three comics based on that suggestion. Originally all three had to start the same, but it evolved.
Open Mic
The gala celebration for the 500th comic posted. Includes cameos of almost every single character so far.

This comic includes the contributions:

Groupers suggested: I WANNA SEE THE SUPPOSITORY WALK
Seadog Driftwood suggested: "I was wrong! It ISN'T very comfortable at all!" one of the characters cries after inserting a fanciful dagger with a 1-2 cm blade-length into their eyelid.
A. Nony Mouse suggested: Rabish and Rabot get into an argument.
Ashton the Bastion. suggested: Rabot steps on a toad and a cavalcade of ridiculous events follow as a result.
Lisa suggested: Dr. Quickly hosts an open mic night at Noel's coffee house.
NotMarkFlynn suggested: Rabish can't find the CD key! Piracy?
Patch the Jester suggested: 'Rabot: The Musical' is called unsplenderific by critics.

Dr Quickly: Okay folks! Two more exciting demonstrations of spectacular talent!! First up! Rabot has a MUSICAL ADVENTURE!!

Rabot: Just... just follow the instructions on the screen. And make sure the lights sync up with the samples.
Rabish: It's asking for a cd key to reactivate?
Dr Quickly: ...not again...

Rabot: But... I installed the crack!!
Rabish: Ha ha! A pirate robot! Can I have a copy of YOU?
Rabot: That's not the same thing at all!!
Rabish: Hypocrite.

Rabot: Got no laptop, so I'll kick it a capella: Kick it so hard you'll be down on your patella! Robots regain POWer daily in the SHOWer! Our hygienic CREdo in our birthday tuxEdo: SHAMPOO FOR CHAPS LATHERING THEIR FLAPS WHILE STRAPPING YOUNG LASSES ARE SLAPPING THEIR ASSES. this is where a drum solo goes but the laptop broke so I'm hosed

Audience: BOO U RAPPIN' AWFUL UNSPLENDERIFIC I WANNA SEE THE SUPPOSITORY WALK!!
Rabot: I... I'm sorry. I knew I shouldn't have jumped on that cursed toad.

Dr Quickly: Sorry folks. It kicked ass in the dress rehearsal. Spent all day yesterday setting up the lights. One last act and you can go home. Noel's going to do a sword-swallowing routine!! Classic!

Noel: Hey, that spotlight's bright! Hey, uh, anyone out there! Hey so I don't have a mouth so I'll just stick this cocktail sword in my eye!!

Dr Quickly: I don't think we need to do this again any time soon.
Noel: OHHH THIS ISN'T COMFORTABLE AT ALL!!
