Smoosh

So, how on the edge am I ALL THE TIME NOW, that this genuinely made me teary

Betcha Yay is pitching in a 5x match.

Gosh thanks for this content, this seriously made me cry a few happy tears.

That was Pintsize. May doesn't have a mechanism to cry!

Grace Kieser

Bubbles isn't a bad nominee either.

Lightsabr2

How long until May's tears start dissolving Marigold's shirt?

Daryl Sawyer

The two characters who (recently! I haven't forgotten Hanners!) have shown the most growth have to be May and Marigold.

Joseph Bonnar

No need to qualify that

Daniel Jarrett

Yes, Marigold understands her awesome power. /solemn-nod

I'm sure she would love being called 'bot' LOL

Nick Whiting

Some boobs are held for charity, and some for fancy dress, but when they're held for comfort, they're the boobs that I like best...

Technoir

Needed this kind of positivity - thanks Jeph :)

Cole Blackblood

I feel ya, bro. Too many times I've gotten a little misty-eyed reading QC, only to have my wife look over and be all "WTF are you crying about now?"

Technoir

awwwwwwwww! poor overwhelmed bot!

Technoir

Same

So what Jeph is saying is ... Mar-bear is the Helen Mirren of the QCverse?

Breast hug ever

This makes me feel better about myself rn tbh. I've been down lately and the idea that *I* made a small difference in May's life by supporting Jeph is... very fulfilling.

Raven Razor

Some of us manage both

Ellavescent

Not a bad way to deal with being overwhelmed.

Bagge

I wish mine were big enough to do that

Carin Maja Brooks

I love this arc. We need more people being good to people (or AIs) right now. Thanks Jeph.

Liam Barksdale

I remember Faye sedating Hanners with hers soon after they first met.

I'd like the first option myself, but, well... May has her dreams and who am I to crush them?

Joseph Bonnar

I foresee two possibilities. A. May gets an adequate, but inexpensive body, paying it forward to others in her situation. B. She finally becomes a fighter jet!

Granite

da ba dee da ba daa

Captain Button

It may have done. She is eating better now with Momo sometimes doing the cooking and making her eat nutritious stuff like kale. Plus she's a lot cleaner, and her life is happier, and that affects things like your complexion.

Gamebook

Did Marigold's complexion clear up?

Alan

Some of that may be the realization that she's around people who won't take the absence of a facade as an opportunity to hurt her.

Some Ed

People talk about wanting a shoulder to cry on, but in my experience boobs are more appreciated.

Charlotte Grubbs

*your

Kate Cole

I really want to know that answer. When May has the opportunity and means to pick nearly ANY new body she wants, what will she do?!

SilverbackRon

If you're boobs can't be used for a friend to cry into then you shouldn't even have them

Diana

how different is may gonna look. will she choose a new color?

runrin

This whole arc is legit helping me get by with the state of the world. Sitting on the couch next to my wife trying not to cry because robots getting comfort boob is gonna be too difficult to explain.

Mike Robinson

boob

Tamara Macadam

Boobs are nature's pillows. Soft, squishy, and infinitely comfortable to all. And Marigold is particularly gifted, so of course when comfort is truly needed, she can provide. Also, totally jealous of May at the moment, but it is overwhelmed by the feeling of awesome at seeing her finslly realize how much she means to everyone. She may be a perverted goblin, but she's OUR perverted goblin.

Anthony Gaglianese

*IS THAT SO, MARIGOLD!? HMMMM!?!? WELL, I THINK I'LL JUST SAUNTER ON OVER, THEN!!*

Haven't we seen someone's boobs used as a sedative before?

Captain Button

She can't cry because her tear ducts are busted. :D

Summer Sudbrink

This is the life moments I read for.

dstayton

May's like a cat at the vet

darklion

Well apparently robot prison is pretty traumatizing...

tamtheotter

It real is a difficult internal catastrophe to cope with; finding out that the meticulously engineered hostility you arm yourself with, to protect you from the vulnerabillty you're terrified of experiencing because you're sure the only thing you can expect to receive is crushing disappointment and disdain, neither worked nor was needed. I do wonder...for those of us with meat brains, that sort of cognitive nightmare tends to stem from serious trauma (as far as I understand it). Does it just occur at random in AIs, or did May suffer some devastating psychological blow at some point? Was she like this before prison? Before wanting to be a figher jet? Was she embodied before that in any capacity? Inquiring minds etc etc etc

Mahlernut

Kindness and compassion are wonderful things. And Marigold's boobs are magical. it's canon.

Hugh Eckert

Yay modern day (fictionalized but also very real) America where you have to crowd fund your basic existence! I'm glad such services exist but man is it depressing how many people need to turn to them just to live.

Ben C

Comfort boobs are the best.

Joel Bateman

Right there with you May.

Ted Van Roekel

By that, you mean there is going to be some International Women's Day scenes with him? XD

MikeT

I think she May.

Simon Green

I do like Jephs characters. May, you horrible little goblin, when did you get to be so tsundere?

Joseph Bonnar

This is not Mari's first comfort rodeo

MikeT

By the way, no people nor pets were hurt in the fire. For that, I will be thankful forever.

Creepy Cat Lady

ugh anyone else having problems with onion ninjas in their home?

skinnybdink

My house burned down last year, and my friend made a donation page for me. I was too deeply in shock to even realize I was going to need help. I remember feeling exactly the way you portray May here when I saw the outpouring of love and support I was getting. It's hard to ask for help. You're really nailing this storyline, Jeph.

Creepy Cat Lady

Aw yay, May finally gets an updated body <3 I hope there's some good Sven scenes soon where he helps her test it out.

Desiree Conceicao

I just realized that by supporting Jeph's patreon, we're all technically helping to pay for May getting a new body

Fart Captor

mood, may ;-;

emmavoid

Awww, May!

Jonathan Smith

You know, now May can get some nice boobs of her own

JD

Marigold is powerful.

Jason Rock

Poor May. It can be overwhelming to realise how much kindness is in the world, especially when you Have such a low view of yourself. May is probably feeling undeserving of all this kindness, which I’m hoping will encourage her to be a better person and earn that kindness by paying it forward.

Thisguy

Finding comfort in boobs. The best kind of comfort.

Andrea Andrew

SMOOSH!

BobC

I stan mommagold

Welp, sounds like May is joining the Shiny Ass-Badge Club

least_rectangles

Beepatrice may have an unsuspected gift for social media management.

Dean Reilly

When did Marigold become such a mommy to her friends? This is so sweet, omg ;^;

Finley

I am so proud of Marigold.

Diptych

Bless Marigold.

Alex Dunn

I believe you mean $69,420

Eric Sieck

They're like giant, voluptuous stress balls! Also, further proof that Marigold is Best Girl (tm)

Jaron Mortimer

Ah man. I sympathize a little too strongly with the need to be comforted by tiddy.

Dylan T

They all care about you, you horrible little goblin! 🤗

Nicolas Demers

I bet the total value is something really meme-y like $69,000.69

Miyaa

I really hope her new body is still blue

Chris Magnelli

Dale would agree

Jaime Suzuki

Oh, oh, this is hurting in the absolute best way

BioYuGi

...oh no, my heart I really get what May's feeling here. If all you know is the many way things can go right, it can be incomprehensible to see them go right. Especially on the back of kindness from others.

Timeloopy

Same. I’m guessing ultimately enough for a long-lasting body but not enough for a fighter jet.

Eric Sieck

A gentleman carries a handkerchief a women....has boobs? That doesn't sound right.

Slashplane

Comfort, it’s why we have boobs

And we all know how powerful Marbear's breasts are. And it would appear May's tough girl facade is crumbling.

Michael Boettger

😭😭😭

Sandrock

It's all true.

Matt Grayson

I want to know the number!

orangejuicenut

Squish boob

Randi Hart

Oh May...

Morgan

Boobs are awesome.

Ryan

no your honor this is my emotional support tiddy

Hope
