Like A Chef With A Cleaver

Well, to be fair, Bubbles has probably never looked at it either. Much of it is common sense, and unlike Sam, Bubbles seems to have a surfeit of common sense.

awgiedawgie

You're right. That might be a cheap active wear outfit she put on to avoid damaging her good clothes. And NOW I have a vision of Faye ogling Bubbles as she changes in the shop back room. *slap self* *cold SHOWER*

I think the phone is now on the floor. Unless she flipped it to her other hand just before she saw the saw.

We need to find him a ship.

Somewhere on the internet there is probably a video showing how to safely operate a concrete saw. Sam will never look at it, though...

And now Bubbles performs Concrete Saw Kata #47: A Cinder Block Alights on the Butterfly

Matt Grayson

I was at Harbor Freight, the other day, and I felt the same way about the jackhammers!

Grace Kieser

Bad news. I think that one's either gas or battery powered...

Ted Van Roekel

Skill saws, concrete saws, chain saws ... nope nope nope. I’ve got poor upper body strength and all I can imagine is them there saws leaping up and rolling after me down the street, till their cords unplug.

Holly Nelson

I don't blame her, concrete saws are pretty cool-looking. I mean, I wanna use one, and I don't even have any concrete to saw.

Jeffrey Nonken

Why would that be a question? Of course she can. Why would she want to when she can have a hand instead? Hands are awesome, and a lot better for caressing Faye (o:

Lars Gottlieb

When did she change outfits? At first I thought she just took off the shirt, but those are different pants. Is it a new day? Is Faye living in overalls from now on?

Bubbles would be the coolest mom ever.

Will Weaver

So, Sam was holding the phone in her left hand in the third panel, and then is using her left hand to point at the saw in the fourth panel -- but there is no phone. I don't suppose she got so excited that she dropped the phone between panels 3 & 4? ;)

Brad Knowles

Sam is one of my favorites... love how Faye gets to mentor her

FunkyTuba

The real question is can Bubbles mount it on the end of her arm.

Summer Sudbrink

Somehow, I imagine that it was Sam's Dad who made that specification, and Faye was simply assuring him that yes, that would be the case.

Simply turning off the auditory sensors would not protect them from high sound pressures. Even inactive, the sensors could still suffer damage, so hearing protection is still advised.

awgiedawgie

I don't think Jeph has actually said, but at least myself and one other reader have estimated - based on how close her head is to the top of the doorways - that she is 6' 8".

awgiedawgie

I'm interested in knowing exactly how tall Bubbles is... I said before I used to have a thing for Tall Women.

Churchill (formerly TeaBear)

DROID 06 .... y’know, I should stop putting words in Jeph’s characters’ mouths. I do love the big DROID, though.

Matt Grayson

I love x100000 Fay specifying that all of Sam's fingers will not only be present, but still attached.

Nancie

do androids have ear switches to turn off hearing, otherwise hearing protection is advised here. (try running one for a day or so)

Tim Williams

I bet Bubbles gets off on seeing videos like “one man builds a log cabin by himself from scratch” and yelling at how badly the This Old House gang refurbishes old Bostonian houses.

Miyaa

In Rescue work they're referred to as "K saws" or "quick cuts" based on brand names from Sthil and other manufacturers. They can cut concrete, but are also used commonly as roof saws in firefighting and I've put them to use in structural rescue training. They are awesome, and versatile. And Bubs deserves her own saw.

tacit

Now I'm picturing Bubbles in a late night infomercial for concrete saws, cutting several cinderblocks in half and then finely slicing a tomato.

Dean Reilly

The look of PURE LOVE on Bubs face in the last panel. I have those feels for some of my tools.

lilibat

Oh, I have to see that thread.

Daryl Sawyer

And Bubbles pulling out her Zombie Trimmer suddenly makes the 'patient' realise that they're actually okay and don't need repairs at all!

Ben Russell-Gough

Everything looks like a paving stone?

Ben Russell-Gough

Bubbles doesn't fool me. She's just practising for her audition for the 'The Evil Dead' reboot! Chainsaws are overused at the moment; the producers want a new theme power tool!

Ben Russell-Gough

considering posting this to r/osha

Ariel Rosenfeld

hrm. I'd think a 6 Amp, diamond bladed angle grinder would offer more finesse, particularly when freeing thermal welded, carbon steel ball joints. But that's probably more for after particularly aggressive mosh pits.

j r conlin

Oh. BUBBLES.

Stoodmuffin

hoooooo mama! I wasn't ready for bi-hair bubbles in fit gear.

Unanimous D

Dang Bubbles! Hot hot hot.

Denise Webber

I was thinking the same thing

Tina Pegar

I honestly don't understand how Faye is still standing after turning around to see Bubbles looking like THAT. I'd be keeled over dead. <3

Dahlia Rose Israel

Thanks, Jeph! These really brighten my day.

Chong Go

Bubbles and her skill set... Oh man.

uh, Bubbles in a crop top, HOLY SHIT

JD

let’s hope there are no harpoon-related incidents

Jaime Suzuki

Jeph, it's your comic but I plead with you for not dismembering biological characters anymore in this comic (I realize Clinton's happy with his hand)

Ami

she'll be *fine*. what's a limb or two between friends anyway?

those biceps, tho

Jaime Suzuki

Let’s start a ‘sexy robots in activewear with powertools’ magazine. Any takers?

Andrew

Some mechanical failures are psychological.

Grant Swire

Bubs made me think of these song lyrics instantly... and I don't even listen to enough pop music to know what song it was without google. "You know we getting hotter, and hotter Sexy and hotter, let's shut it down Pound the alarm! Pound the alarm!"

HOT DAMN. Bubs is jacked! And I'm here for that.

Hawkeye

When all you've got is a concrete saw...

MikeT

I'd say "she got hot and took off her top", but as was observed just a few minutes ago, Bubbles has been hot for a long time.

Jason Zions

I really like that thing that Sam's eyes do in the last panel.

Rob McBobson

Is Bubbles TRYING to tease Faye...because a sports bra is how she would tease Faye!

Shawn K. Younkin

THIS.

Andrew Mitchell

I suppose Faye will wear those overalls forever, given Bubbles's "endorsement".

Matt Grayson

When did Bubbles change clothes, and OMG Sam's reaction LOL>

Michele Williams

Bubbles is fuckin’ hot.
