New Adventures of Queen Victoria by Pab Sungenis for January 29, 2023

Well, no doubt the Queen will not be amused…

Can a Gladstone appearance be far behind?

One way or another, it will be time well spent!

Hey, it absolutely ends well if we get more of Vic and her pals.

SkyNet is not amused.

Wonderful to see you back in any form

Will this be an example of Tesla’s Artificial Stupidity?

Current events through the lens of 200 year old pop references? The original Vic was all about resistance to assimilation being futile. Glad you’re still kicking, Pab!

“1) Vic tries to use a computer.”

“Wait, I don’t think…”

“Well, it’s funny to me…”

Oh, this is gonna be a goooood week.

“While the notion of computers becoming sentient and attempting to wipe out or take over the human race had been in the public’s consciousness since at least the 1950s, when the crisis actually came it began in a way so absurd that humanity didn’t recognize its peril until it was almost too late.”

Excerpt from “We Are Not Amused: How a Comic Strip Almost Destroyed the World,” a paper presented at the American Historical Association’s annual meeting, Philadelphia, PA, January 15-19, 2099

Does this mean there will soon be new strips of Peanuts also?

Woo Hoo!!!Good to see you back. :)

Ooo, I can’t wait!

Ooooooh….a cliffhanger! :-)

Is the AI named Agnes?!? Run, Pab, run!!!

I can’t help with the art, but can’t the academic problem be immediately annihilated by switching higher education to what Oxford calls “Tutorials” and Cambridge calls “Supervisions”? I’m only an ignorant Yank, of course, but I’ve long admired it from afar.

I’ll be here waiting! :)

[I never left.]

So…the six installments became three? Good move.
