Eve Of Destruction

Bubbles vs ED-209.

Maurice Kessler

Highly improbable. Even if Angus is going to return, there is nothing in their relationship for Faye. Her realizing that was partly responsible for her breakdown. She already has more depth and substance in her relationship with Bubbles than she ever had with Angus.

Evgeniy Semyonov

It won't let me either... halts at comment 74.

William Burns

I am sad that patreon will not let me load all the comments. :(

same

Hawkeye

I keep checking for the Tuesday comic...

ysth

Oh god, it's finally happening

Operation Brownie Pockets is a free game you play in real life

Only one helicopter?! She needs to work on that.

Joseph H.

Hoping that title doesn't mean Faye is due to have a reunion with Angus.

Laura-Kathleen Redman

Bubbles + RIM-92 Stinger = exploded helo

Ben Russell-Gough

Tai looks like me now, can I play her in the QC live action movie/sitcom

Elliott Case

WHO IS EVE???

Fart Captor

Can we get a oneshot of bubbles casually destroying a helicopter

That face in the fourth panel makes me want to give her cuddles..

karl Manners

Not enormously relevant to today's strip, but I did feel the need to go back and re-read this earlier example of Bubbles letting slip a hint of her feelings for Faye <a href="http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3525" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3525</a>

Mark

Your link just led me to rereading most of Alice Grove.

Andje Lewkowicz-Lalonde

Anyone else notice that Bubbles' foot pads look like she's wearing a kind of slippers?

Ben Russell-Gough

The suspense is killing me. Come on Jeph!!

Jenna

Oh no, Jeph made Tai cuter.

Diptych

I was rereading some older strips and ran into them s one: <a href="http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3530" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3530</a> . Read the sign in panel 4—with the caveat that it’s May dreaming up the scenario, it does seem to confirm that sexual, um, apparatus is at least an option for AIs.

William Cole

I wonder how Bubbles would feel if she knew Faye also is afraid that she's destroyed something? They're a pair of mixed-up kids, aren't they? Maybe they'll help each other heal at least a little.

Ben Russell-Gough

I think every character has changed over the past few months, Jeph's art has evolved a bit. (For the better, I think.) Tai does look more, hrm... Tanned?

When you need ten bucks, your friend is there.... but broke.

awgiedawgie

Also, it's hard to feel guilty for destroying Punchbot because he so obviously gets pleasure from it! That aside, yeah this is pretty much the way I was expecting it to go except... That is Tai but has Jeph changed her skin tone?

Ben Russell-Gough

If there's one thing I've learned from watching movies, it's that helicopters get destroyed *all the time*. It's nothing to feel bad about.

John Fiala

I have this scene in my mind where Tai gets Dora's call at the Library and is all, "Oh man...how do you chill out an upset robot?" and then Momo pulls a usb stick out of her purse and hands it to her. It has "WEED" written on it in Sharpie. Tai looks at Momo, Momo blushes and says, "I got it from Pintsize, ok? You try living with Marigold some time."

Gary Walker

Helicopter gunships are surprisingly fragile. Emotionally, I mean.

Dean Reilly

That helicopter was a jerk. Anyway, "destroyed" is a bit melodramatic. Bubbles just turned it down. She was perfectly polite about it

Bagge

Just what you need when entering a helicopter. With Bubbles. :)

I'm just worried about the number of bats who won't be able to echo-locate ever again.

BobC

That helicopter knows what it did

Fart Captor

But they were all bad.

Brent Catherman

Right?! I have to budget for a bigger donation because boy is earning it!

Points to Jeph though for amazing emotional portrayal in art, though.

Cole Blackblood

Bubbles looks so upset and vulnerable - we must continue the hugs! ;-;

Cole Blackblood

It's kind of tangential, in the bigger context here, but I totally LUVV Tai's new haircut.

Clifton Royston

Unlikely, if only because that particular scene was unrealistic. The cannon barrel would crush and prove too weak to use in swinging a main battle tank. Yes, I'm a nerd. :)

We DO have prior evidence that Bubbles has some feelings about Faye; although how deeply they run remains to be seen. <a href="http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3587" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3587</a>

So, I am not a shipper. Like, at all. I love the story of QC but have no designs, hopes, or head canon of who should be with who. That disclaimer out of the way, however this ends, I am -really- glad Jeph is seeing it through to give us some closure on this chapter. Next relationship set that needs closure is what the hell is happening with poor Cliiinnnton.

We could have... An issue. We must assume that Claire will find out about the relationship changes between Bubbles and Faye. Assuming that things go well, that Jeph does NOT change plot directions here, it is reasonable to ask... How many small and helpless animals will be vaporized by Claire's "SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"?

Please note that Bubbles has not yet mentioned how SHE feels about Faye's hand-on-hip touch. Nor if she can imagine her emotions mirroring Faye's or not. This ship has NOT yet sailed. The tide hasn't yet lifted it from the ground.

BobC

I see none of her ink. She may be a replicant.

BobC

I laughed so hard I hurt myself. That was FANTASTIC.

Dev

"According to all known laws of aviation, the helicopter should not be able to fly" blah blah you get it

Vulnerable Bubbles is vulnerable.

Bubbles,honey. No.

Dylan T

Wonder if Bubbles could do that thing Hulk did in the Ang Lee movie, where he grabbed a tank by its barrel, swung it around, then threw it at a helicopter.

Mitchell Sealy

Faye's not as slick as she thinks she is.

Mitchell Sealy

Jeph, you're a goddamn master at your craft. Keep it up!

Hawkeye

Yes, but the other times she's not allowed to talk about.

Jonathan V

I missed Tai

Brian Ellingboe

And thank you, Jeph. You've done something remarkable; Questionable Content echoes in our souls somehow. So thank you and may we see many more ships. Because sharks need ships to feed on!

Friends are there for you. When you need a hug, your friend is there. When you need a laugh or a smile, your friend is there. When you need to explain that "The helicopter NEEDED to die!" your friend is there. And when you need ten bucks, -I- ain't there for you!

This title scares me D:

Nicholas Lopez

Who amongst us hasn't destroyed a helicopter on occasion?

Dean Reilly

Bubbles- it me. 😕

Denise Webber

In which Bubbles has an experience many of us meatbags have had. :-/

And of course, she's pulled the bumpers off a few Humvees.

awgiedawgie

1 pint of AI ice cream substitute, Stat!

Andrew

She's totally destroyed more than one helicopter.

Jamison Town

TBH the helicopter probably deserved it, those things have no business being able to fly.

Kilonum

So many top quality hugs lately! Thank you Jeph ❤

Fart Captor

Bubbles’ face in Panel 4 is EVERYTHING.
