Practicality

I'm assuming Bubbles has enough practical experience and training/programming with explosives to do this... reasonably safely.

Daryl Sawyer

aka Butts butts butts!

Daryl Sawyer

it's not so much an obsession as excess of availability. I mean, she DID find an entire case of them under the box of swords ...

Joe

actually, that's the name of my folk/house/Britpop cover band ...

Joe

"Betwixt my mighty glutes" is literally the best thing I've ever read

Danya Michael

I am, indeed, aflame

Sorastro

Y'all.... Jeph was just talking about buying a "rectal" domain name for an upload. Including rectal.zone. That might be the url he posts for this comic. It'd be fitting, at least.

Valraven

Is it still Nature's Pocket if it's a robot?

Valraven

Suddenly Melon loosing her butt to space make a bit more sense.

Bagge

Still holding a torch, eh?

Bagge

butt.flare?

Bubbs certainly has a flare for the dramatic. I'll show myself out.

Sorastro

I will have five $1 burgers please

Magic Chopstick Games

That was, IIRC, more like a spontaneous existence failure.

Peter Jensen

I’m pretty sure that’s going down as one of the top 5 phrases on QC. That might be my first tattoo. Guess where I’m gonna get it?

Betwixt My Mighty Glutes is surely the name of Jeph's next album.

Chris Wicks

I swear, if Faybles doesn't get hitched and somehow have little Fayblets, I'll... well, I'll be unhappy, that's what.

Celine Chamberlin

Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky.... Love that song. Good pull :)

Michele Williams

Not even hesitating to say where she was keeping it. Bubbles is in control at all times.

Dylan T

I just love it that Bubbles is using phrases like "betwixt my mighty glutes."

Ack

Please, no, Bubbles. Brun doesn't need flashbacks.

awgiedawgie

Mighty, indeed!

Bill Hall

Hey! It's that guy! Didn't he date/is still dating Pizza Girl? 😇

Ernie O'Dell

"Feel those cheeks. You could crush walnuts between them!" Yaphet Kotto's amazing cameo on Seaquest DSV. I think Bubbles would win, though.

Elf Sternberg

I wish I had mighty glutes to hold a flare betwixt.

drone r0m-3

I'm *pretty* sure Bubbles is just trolling Faye to distract her from her worry, and isn't actually going to set fire to the bar... I *assume* she was keeping the flare 'on hand' in case of this eventuality, and not for some other reason... There *was* that other bar fire... Just sayin'...

Marc Pengryffyn

I just hope they don’t get angry and catch fire.

Summer Sudbrink

Who needs flare guns when you’ve got flare buns?

Summer Sudbrink

Let’s just hope that Frank Zappa and the Mothers aren’t around...

Summer Sudbrink

When they see the flare, they'll also understand. But they won't say anything about it... because they understand. At least, they won't say anything about it to Faye. They'll totally talk about it among themselves... For definitions of themselves that don't include Faye.

Some Ed

Pff, I would assume she has many pockets. She has a military body.

VC

Comic # 4000 tomorrow!! Incredible effort Jeph, your work just keeps getting better and better. I can't wait to see how things develop over the next 16 years.

Andrew Mitchell

Noooooo... A flare does NOT seem like a good way to repay that kind bartender.

Andrew Mitchell

I can’t believe I’m gonna say this but, Bubbles, sweetie, excellent distraction and also nooooo please don’t follow through.

Katrina Urmson

LITERALLY pulling it out of her ass

Minzoku Bokumetsu

They were at the best place around. But some stupid with a flare gun. Burned the place to the ground.

Yeah, Brun wouldn't take it well

Bagge

Chekov's flare.

William Burns

Bubbles, please don't burn down the bar! It's one of the nicer bars in town! And what would Wil and Brun and Elliot do for work if you did?

Grace Kieser

I cannot explain to you how much I love Bubbles at the moment

JD

Okay, the third panel, where Bubbles is reaching back for the flare. Also, careful Bubbles, you're gonna get banned if you light the place on fire.

Czarzhan

I thought it was digital signage Bubbles was thinking towards. With her thoughts displayed like that, it's almost like mind-reading.

BobC

Maybe she can forge the engagement ring.

Sleepy John

can't not read the last line in Jack Black's voice...

Matt

*grumbles* ... fine, take that like and get out!

Peter Jensen

Is this how the other bar burned down?

lilibat

dat ass

Diversion: Successful. Faye is suitably distracted.

Bagge

Uh, hey Jeph, Bubbles' speech balloons are missing tails in the first two panels.

Richard

I think in reality they would understand but what else is she hiding betwixt them mighty glutes

Bubbles obsession with the flare is like Hanners and her obsession with the crowbar. It can only end hilariously!!

Shawn K. Younkin

I like Bubble's style. She has flare.

Sleepy John

It's wonderful seeing how much Faye trusts Bubs, to be so vulnerable and open about her insecurities and issues and to have Bubs take it all in stride truly shows how close the two of them are becoming and it just warms my heart.

Actually, she could probably light the flare with those glutes.

Max D S

It’s obvious.

Comic 4000 is next, so I'm expecting comic hijinks.

Cody Renton

Bubs can crush coal into diamonds. Ethically sourced diamonds!

Adam Friedlander

I love how Bubbles is so understanding of Faye’s predicament. It really shows how far they’ve come.

Andrea Andrew

Hahaha, 😂

Lord Crusade

What control she has. She could crush a car with those.

Max D S

Is that a... flare?
