Insurance companies always do EXACTLY what you pay them for. The problem is people usually ignore what that is in favour of what they wish it was/expect it to be.
The difference between what they offer and what others infer is their profit margin. An entire business built to exploit mundie failure at basic literal interpretation skills.
So…wait…”Burn your friends?” Well, blaming others for internal hang-ups has always worked before, so..BURN YOUR FRIENDS! Drive that heathen warmth and happiness from your bodies with cleansing fire!
Ah, good, the dignitary from the Dalek Embassy has arrived! (Parties are so much livelier when one of the guests is barely surpressing the need to destroy everyone else!)
Maybe he lied? Probably doesn’t want his coworkers asking too many questions about why after getting a prosthetic hand payed for by the insurance company he suddenly has an even better one… They would probably wonder where he got the money for it…
At first I accepted without question that the arm was, as Reed said, the hospital’s practice thingy. However, on reviewing the scene of a couple of pages ago, I now suspect that Spybait has got it right. That would explain why Reed wasn’t able to look Jones in the eye as he was talking to her.
Oh well, we’ll find out soon whose guess is correct, hopefully.
This is the kind of negativity you wanna hear.. berating whatever it is you’re being forced to live with currently, and implying something better is imminent. I appreciate that kind of negativity.
anyone else think that the awsome doctor guy looks like Artie from warehouse 13?
Also…
Doctor: “Your insurance company got you this peice of crap, how dare they! they obviously don’t understand the finer points of robotic arms. Adamantium and built in chain-guns are a MUST!”
I bet the one Doc Barry gives Reed is thin and almost skeletal compared to what Reed has now. It’s going to be sleek, stripped down, efficient and definitely much stronger than how it appears. That’s how Steffi’s own looks to me and I bet its function is hundreds of times more than its form.
If Reed gets an awesome arm with a machine gun or something built in, I think it should only be fair that Steffi gets something built into her leg, like a rocket or knife or something. That would make fights with Gear a lot more interesting.
Heh, that sure is a shitty hand.
Also, first post? Never thought that would happen here.
Well, someone had to be in first – why not you?
Myea, even in Cubes imaginary world, insurance companies never do what you pay them for.
Insurance companies always do EXACTLY what you pay them for. The problem is people usually ignore what that is in favour of what they wish it was/expect it to be.
Sure, if you go through their appeals process!
You know, to correct all those … errors … in the company’s favor.

Steffi looks pleased with herself
Ahh! Someone save the flowers!
Steffi’s face in panel 2 says to me, “Reed! I found a
Science GuyLimberDoctor!”Friendship excitement!
Because friendship is magic.
Well, SOMEONE was gonna say it… Might as well have been me.
Friendship is witchcraft! Black magic!!!
I second this!
So…wait…”Burn your friends?” Well, blaming others for internal hang-ups has always worked before, so..BURN YOUR FRIENDS! Drive that heathen warmth and happiness from your bodies with cleansing fire!
No, extermination is magic!
Ah, good, the dignitary from the Dalek Embassy has arrived! (Parties are so much livelier when one of the guests is barely surpressing the need to destroy everyone else!)
If you’d be so kind as to come this way Mr. Fish?
Friendship is Science!
Friendship is Engineering.
Friendship prevents some big old mean mother hubbard from tearing us a structurally superfluous new behind.
i love you right now.
Friendship is FOR science. You monster.
Would you like a potato? or perhaps some cake?
I want to go to space.
Friendship is sufficiently advanced technology!
Or at least indistinguishable from it. Which explains why Steffi’s dad is so happy all the time…
If it is not indistinguishable, then your friendship is not yet sufficently advanced. GO GET SOME FRIENDS! *Exiled to ponyville*
Not again! Curse you, Celestia!
“This piece of crap doesn’t even have a built in laser canon!”
I’m with you. No laser canon, no deal.
I know! So lame!
“And the manufacturer apparently doesn’t think a durable alloy is a necessary component of cyborg cops.”
It’s like they’re afraid that cybernetics will turn most people suicidal or psycotic due to extended drug use…
best. doctor. EVER
even The Doctor?
yes. even the doctor
To be fair, he’s not that kind of Doctor…
true…
Lincoln Beard Guy with the glasses is even more awesome than without
Everyone’s more awesome with glasses.
At the very least, because then they’re not half-blind. *Adjusts own glasses*
Steffi’s face in pannel 4! ° u °
oh my gosh I know hahah it’s incredible
I wonder if the plant is knocked over because Reed tried to pick it up or something? Crappy insurance company prosthetic.
It looks like there’s a wrapper around the base.
Maybe whatsherface brought Reed flowers?
I dunno…
I like your idea better!
Well it was standing upright the page before last and now it’s on its side. I assumed it was in a plastic pot or something.
Ooooh!
See, I don’t remember that.
I was thinking the same thing! I bet that’s the case.
wasn’t that the hospitals practice thingy?
Maybe he lied? Probably doesn’t want his coworkers asking too many questions about why after getting a prosthetic hand payed for by the insurance company he suddenly has an even better one… They would probably wonder where he got the money for it…
Probably the doctor just jumped to conclusions and the comic ended before Officer Reed could correct him.

Or it could be halfway in between.
It could be a loaner.
Like when the insurance company gives you a rental car to use for a few days until you replace your smashed car.
Gah! she was still under his labcoat oh Steffi why are you so adorb??
Holy crap!!
I totally didn’t notice that!!
And I’ve looked at this page about 5 times at least!!
That panel 4 face is still amazing.
haha
This is the kind of negativity you wanna hear.. berating whatever it is you’re being forced to live with currently, and implying something better is imminent. I appreciate that kind of negativity.
Doctor Beard clearly has taste.
Dr. B. Ghanem Prosthetics: Where it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg to get an arm or a leg!
that made me laugh.
hehe oh Steffi! U r 2 cute!!!! ^^
I do recall some mention that this was a sluggish practice limb and so wasn’t meant to be kept. He’ll end up with a super arm now though. Go RoboReed!
I really want to see Reed’s thoughts on seeing Steffi just emerging from under this guy’s lab coat.
“Is someone hiding under your coat, Doctor, or are you just…” Okay, maybe a tad creepy humor on my part…
Well to be fair Reed….
*cybersunglasses*
Never asked for this.
also: cue homage prosthesis testing montage?

Doctor: “Your insurance company got you this peice of crap, how dare they! they obviously don’t understand the finer points of robotic arms. Adamantium and built in chain-guns are a MUST!”
Chain-gun? No-no-no… You want a rail-gun!
Omg you’re right!!!
If Artie was younger and black I think he’d look like Dr. Prosthetics here!
steffi looks like she has a cat nose NEKO KUUUUWAIIIIIII! {did i spell it right?
“Kawaii”. Think of Hawaii, but with a “K”.
I bet the one Doc Barry gives Reed is thin and almost skeletal compared to what Reed has now. It’s going to be sleek, stripped down, efficient and definitely much stronger than how it appears. That’s how Steffi’s own looks to me and I bet its function is hundreds of times more than its form.

LIMB FIGHT!
