No Manual Needed

The nerdiness of that pun is over 9000 😏

MrFrenchFries

NICE

Brooke Vibber

ROFLMAO. Fucking gold. If I weren't already supporting you here this'd have put me over the edge.

Matt Dunlap

I can attest to the ability to put together complex machinery and computer equipment while sleeping; I did it all too often during my computer expo days.

Yohannon

Best. Pun. Ever.

I did not see that pun incoming.

Victor Stevko

My favorite pun in a long long long long time!!!

Jaime Burns-France

As a change from 'instead', she should have said, 'in addition'

Chuck Dee

Wow, ouch. Good one.

Hugh Eckert

...That might be my favorite pun I’ve ever seen.

EnterTheHero

wow. that one hurt.

Joe

She's mah favorite

Matt

I bet Jeph thought of that pun and couldn't wait to add it lol.

Okay, one; that pun is god tier. Two; I think this is the longest conversation that Martin and Bubbles have had where Martin didn't freak out.

He does long-game us on various things, so it's a good possibility.

Cracking pun from Bubbles

Chris Wicks

Has Bubbles ever punned before? If not, she started at the top!

Mark

OMFG, when people were going on about the pun I was thinking it was the subtitle pun. I just went back and re-read the last panel and I am floored. My not-quite-fully-awake brain processed that as "some assembly" and I was going to just go about my day. Thank you!

Wolfger

Bubble's sense of humor is very mighty

Bagge

To be fair, a lot of people can use Marten as a toothpick

Bagge

That one hurt but I loved it

Jenner L

Probably Bubbles.

Gamebook

Seeing Bubbles and Marten standing next to each other is hilarious. Bubs looks like she could use him for a toothpick.

Gamebook

I feel we're not giving that god-tier pun in the last panel enough attention

Cody Renton

Emily has to be a spokybot prototype model. not multiple bodied and blends in well as a human. QC version of Fallout 4 Synth?

Michael Honey-Arcement

Same time Bubbles did, apparently.

Ack

When did Emily put her pants back on?

Grace Kieser

Jeph, did you actually introduce the theramin into the story just so you could drop that pun on us?!?!

Emily: https://youtu.be/OawrlVoQqSs

tellumo

That is just so utterly Emily, it's a little scary.

Ian Wolfe

God damnit, Barb. I mean Bubbles.

Ryan

I'm losing my MIND over that pun. So fucking clever. I will be groaning for weeks.

Solomon Garland

Claire is going to be so angry when she learns she missed out on this pun. From Bubbles no less.

Populuxe

I've disassembled and reassembled computers in my sleep, so I can see this happening. The question is how many theremins has Emily assembled before?

Ted Van Roekel

The pun, it burns! Also, who put her pants back on? In sleepy stoned brain mode, pants are usually the last thing on my mind.🤔

Anthony Gaglianese

The next time Emily does something to her hair, please let it get dyed into a weird colour (not blond, preferably a colour none of the existing cast have). I keep having to remind myself that it’s Emily, not Dora.

Thisguy

You spelled "worst" incorrectly

Grace Kieser

Uh, wow, she CAN put it together in her sleep. I thought it was just a saying...

BobC

Well, she DOES live w/ Claire. XD

Shawn K. Younkin

This just reinforces the possibility that Emily is, in fact, an extremely advanced AI, possibly "birthed" by Spookybot.

awgiedawgie

I'm kinda worried it's going to end up some sort of reality bending device, though ...

Peter Jensen

But quietly... she's sleeping.

awgiedawgie

Bad pun, Bubbles. Baaaaad

Joel Bateman

if anyone could do it i guess

Tamara Macadam

I must agree with the others that the pun deserves special applause

This is on a Karla Pacheco level of awful puns.

Miyaa

#1. That PUN GOD DAMMIT #2. Emily is my big favorite of all time.

Waffles the Mooose

That pun made me feel so good.

TubaGinger

i fear we've gone from "can't tell Emily and Dora apart" to "can't tell Emily and Marten apart"

LH

That may be the greatest "punmanteau" I have ever seen. 👏👏👏

Dallas Hicks

/golfclap

Matt Grayson

But a very high level of punning. Whoever developed Bubble's language skills deserves applause. And Bravo, Jeph.

Michael Boettger

boo BOOOO

fish

"Somnassembly" JEFF

Aqua Allison

Bubbles just went for it

Alex Mullenix

"Somnassembly required" is in fact the best possible pun

BeatButton

Jeph that pun is atrocious
