After-Work Special

“NOW shall we debrief...if you know what I mean?”

Will Weaver

Jim had a totally understandable parental over-reaction to the incident. Give him some time to get some perspective, so that he can understand the proper magnitude of what happened and what his reaction should have been.

Brad Knowles

I'm concerned that Jim was perfectly fine with Sam learning how to handle hot metal and welding equipment from Faye... but the moment the least injury (and compared to the things that MIGHT have happened, it really was Minor) occurs, he turns on her like a rabid badger. ... That tells me that even tho Jim is a concerned Parent (which I admire, having been one myself), He is also willing to turn on his friends over relative trifles. That does NOT speak well for him. That's the behavior of an asshole, not a good person.

The emotional reassurances are right there, in how she's holding Faye. The actual words said in such situations matter much less. At least that's my experience.

Janne Peltonen

Faye is miserable and more than a bit jealous, as both Sam and Jim have (temporarily, at least) shifted their admiration to Bubbles. I hope Bubbles shows some empathy. Her reassurances are factual - not emotional. I wouldn't be surprised if Vanessa shows up as she did with Dora.

Matt Grayson

I think that Faye may be concerned that Bubbles is learning all the wrong lessons here!

Ben Russell-Gough

I think Panel 2 is missing it's pièce de résistance. A 'Berf' would be suitable.

Andrew

Adulting!

Bagge

Panel 4 tells me that Faye thinks that Bubbles may be attempting 'reducing tension through humour'. Of course, that means that, like almost everyone she knows, her girlfriend is a smartass.

Ben Russell-Gough

Bubble, the mistress of the sick burn... :)

Heh, heh... she said "debrief". Too bad Faye feels so rotten, or it would have been a perfect setup.

awgiedawgie

Panel 3 is still pretty damn cute tho

Minzoku Bokumetsu

Panel 2 is ADORABLE. ❤️

Katrina Urmson

*smoosh*

Jason Zions

Where did Faye's boobs go? they get smaller in each panel.

Dan Isaacs

I was working with a Dremel today, and halfway through the job, I started to notice that I needed to trim my fingernails. It was a close decision.

Noise

Why are those the only two options?!

Diptych

There is this level of Zen/ contentment that you draw into bubbles face (or that I read into it) that I am both happy for and mildly jealous of.

Tannerbot

I see asymmetries growing in Fayebles, where Bubs is taking the lead, and Faye is (again, still) dealing with her limitations. In terms of growth, Bubbles has surged while Faye remains on her bumpy path. Is this a portent of Fayebles troubles ahead? Will Fayebles reach a breaking point, or simply grow apart? Stay tuned!

BobC

I'd agree with Panel 2. The way that Bubbles looks, referring to herself being useful is so well done!

Chuck Dee

My heart can't take the cute everywhere they are together, I want to hug them

Origamigryphon

Bubbles was wearing her armor before.

Eric Rucker

... I mean Panel 2 is adorable... But that panel three is the cutest

I suggest drawing both Bubbles and Faye in matching overalls and tanktop underneath. Time for couples outfits.

Cave

Panel 2 is pretty fucking cute.

Gary Walker

It looks cure but hasn't Faye hurt herself knocking into Bubbles like that before? or is there some kinda "visual metaphor" going on now that they're together?

Peter McDevitt

Agreed!

Shawn K. Younkin

i can't get over how much i love them. please just draw nothing but them mushing from now on.
