Level One Complete

I just now noticed the gif had a heart effect in it XD For whatever reason did not load up beyond sliding into place for me before.

Cole Blackblood

Dying! I cannot wait to see how this whole thing plays out@

Jephs note below the comic just totally confirmed (as if there was any doubt) that he totally pays attention to the comments section here. And that all this slow burn build up was indeed for his own lulz. (Which is honestly why I subscribe to his patreon. For the comments section, so I can know I'm not alone).

Julienne Ignace

This is the greatest moment.

I love the tetris heart gif and I keep coming back to look at it again.

Sadly the mobile app doesn't handle the gif at all. Had to look on the desktop to see the animation. Real cute!

John M Davis

She realized she's into Bubbles. It's pretty obvious when you consider her hand slowly inching up Bubbles thigh. lol

Dahlia Rose Israel

Such a great reaction gif!

Jonathan Bruder

Or course, we still have to twist in the wind until we find out just exactly what Faye has realised. Or mis-interpreted. Or whatever. But you allow us to share your delightful tale. So toy with us as you will. You’ve earned it,

Bob Ellis

I love that Tetris heart GIF! That is a BRILLIANT way to show the penny finally dropping for Faye.

Bob Ellis

Jeph Jacques

How much do I have to pledge for Faye-Bubbles porn?

Afunnythinghappedtome

This is... something

PBManning

*head explodes* *unable to commence screaming*

Ok ok ok I get it! She goes home and bumps into Martin, tells him she figured out she loves him, they make out. Claire goes to Bubble to talk about what she saw. Bubble kills Martin and Faye and this comic ends.

giacomo vaghi

Oh gosh.

Am I supposed to comment or something? From the sound of things, it's like everyone here's seen a ship or something. Settle down. No boats to float here. Move along.

BobC

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Matt

Scare-quotes and thighs, a deadly combination.

Kyle Rudy

i know, the way bubbles actually jokes with faye is amazing. the ship has left the harbor and is full speed ahead!

SSJ Carrot Cake

Yes!!!!!!

'That is how I "getcha"' is the cutest thing

I'm not one to squee, but it seems appropriate in this case. *ahem* SQUEE!

Mark

The rest of the week will just be Steve comics

Brian

What you did there. I see it.

Brian

Faye's face is litterally perfect in panel 4. "Oh shit, I'm in love with my friend... Who's a robot... And a woman... I did bot expect this." And the backrub goes from innocent to sexy at 100mph.

Andje Lewkowicz-Lalonde

I want the fourth panel on a looping gif so I can watch it all day!

Sarah Manx

To be fair, Robots seem to be very similar in their reactions if Bubbles is any judge.

Bagge

sigh. Humans are so broken in the emotions. Faye, the move you were looking for was to turn around into her, not walk away from her.

SARA J DAVIS

Tetris!

Words cannot express how happy I am that this comic was not on a Friday.

Lucy

No, to Clinton and Roko in bed; Roko in sleep mode and surrounded by much-abused slices of bread and Clinton looking like he's just been hit by a mind-truck.

Ben Russell-Gough

Heh. I read too fast. I happened to scroll down while the GIF was all-black and got to the end, smiled at the expression on Faye's face, and only then realized there was an animation. Nicely done, just my stupid reading style.

Carl Fink

Now I am hearing it in my head. Thanks Tom...

David Paul

Annnnd tomorrow we cut to Steve.

Will Weaver

See, I was just about to post this exact sentence. Weird.

Rob McBobson

Do we know that Roko is straight, or is it just bread?

FINALLY

And PLOTTING!

I'm so happy right now. ♥v♥

Virgel Dragalion

It isn't even a Friday strip!

quarridors

SQuuuuuEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeEEEE!!!!

Gerry

eeeEEEEeEEEEeeEEEEEE! <3

Morgan McCauley

AWWW

Whilst I'm pretty sure Faye is going to go to Marten for advice, it occurs to me that another possible outcome for panel 5 is for Bubbles to grab Faye and try to massage away the 'leg cramp'. Complications ensue and they really should have closed the front shutter before doing that. Fortunately, Melon's only real comment is to ask them to advise Roko on how to get a guy.

Ben Russell-Gough

The simplest way to print would be to have each frame of the GIF as a separate panel, with each panel slightly overlapping to communicate progression. I think that would actually work very well!

Ben Russell-Gough

I AM expecting a several week long 'sorta date' arc with Faye and Bubbles awkwardly trying to make conversation about the situation.

Ben Russell-Gough

I suspect that they CAN have them; some chassis likely have them as standard, others as optional upgrades. I doubt that Bubbles has but it won't matter if her mind is solidly behind what's going on. As Roko often says: "It's psychosomatic".

Ben Russell-Gough

It will be... different from most obvious forms, I'm guessing. That said, I wouldn't put it past Jeph to do something strangely sci-fi like using the direct neural interface headset Spookybot invented to have dates together in the Virtual World.

Ben Russell-Gough

Commences.

Joseph H.

Love the tetris heart gif. <3

The penny... or in this case the Tetris block... finally drops and the realisation hits. I've been expecting this to happen for a while: This is the point where Faye goes running to Marten to beg him for advice.

Ben Russell-Gough

That face. That animation. The care these two show. <3

Screaming commenced

Abhimat Gautam

I friggin' LOVE the tetris metafor for Faye "putting the pieces together" as it were. Made even better by the animation.

Bagge

I lost it here.

AcheronYYC

Cue Jeph writing two months of *soul-searching* comics where Bubs and Faye keep just missing each other...

Andrew Tate

I screamed, now my cats are hiding XD

Justin Seifert

JEPH YOU MAD GENIUS

Dylan T

THAT GIF

Steve Mock

Do ya want cylons? Because that's how you get cylons..

Now, this brings up some thoughts. Do AI have 'parts' like humans or can they do the whole 'switchout' option.

Drakoo Dreamer

robosexual?

Drakoo Dreamer

She'll also be analysing the biosensor data, and be like "Guh huh buh wha?!"

David Paul

Squeeing seems more in order. Perhaps Hannelore will sense this from halfway across the world, but be too hoarse from screaming over latrine duty. Better call Claire.

Brent Catherman

We haven’t seen a human/AI romantic relationship yet, have we? What would it even be called? Not interracial. Definitely not interspecies. Inter-what?

Populuxe

Me too. They’re just so happy and content with each other.

Populuxe

Somewhere Claire just started *squeeeeeeeing* and she has no idea why. Probably startled Martin as well as a few pigeons.

Kyle Jenkins

OK I was confused about Robot Sex. Now we have human-robot sex. I am OK with that but can’t figure out how it works. Faye has no USB ports. I don’t know how Bubs is equipped. So we will just have to see...

Philip D Jones

It was an alien ship shaped like a heart.

Abhayakara

Woweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

giacomo vaghi

Oh, yes. *ahem*... EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE See also <a href="https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1708" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1708</a>

David Paul

I believe everyone has now melted in the intensity of the adorableness... &lt;3 &lt;3 &lt;3

David Paul

JUST. KISS. OR SOMETHING. DAMN IT. SLIPSHINE. IDK.

Stoodmuffin

I LOVE THESE GAY ASS FUGGIN DORKS. SO MUCH.

Stoodmuffin

That second frame has me giddy.

Everett Bradshaw

Jeph, no. That is not how Tetris works. (Thank you for making comics that Mike Pence will hate)

Ami

I'm getting my money's worth on this one. Then again, that's always true. Whether it's a Marten, a Claire, a Hanners, or even Jimbo story, it's still a joy to behold.

Elf Sternberg

*SLAP* *SLAP* Wake Up God Dammit! Wait...

darklion

IT'S HAPPENINGGGGG SOMEONE SMACK ME TO MAKE SURE IT ISN'T A DREAM

It took me a while to realize that it was a heart in the gif - I thought it was an alien ship or something.

Am Queue

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

don't you tell me when to scream okay I'm screaming

neato

We pay this guy to troll us with these teasing stories...and we love him for it. &lt;3

Bartley J Drood

Bubbles is a combat-class AI. I am totally sure she will replay this moment in her recharge time analyzing it for all of Faye's subtle body signs. Could she detect Faye lying? Maybe.

Richard

Also, "getcha" indeed :3

Tim Eldred

ABOUT BLOODY TIME! That being said, Jeph, I ♥️ you. 🎶I saw a ship a sailing, a sailing in the morning.

Denise Webber

It was more of a high pitched "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" than a scream, tbh.

Meredith Roman

welp, who'da thunk it

Eir W

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Christy Brown

That can't be a thing...

Andrew Tate

I love everything about this page.

Morgan Bauman

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!

John Repass

That faaaace

Luzahn

Jeph, you magnificent bastard!

Dave

Lets see, tomorrow for Faye to screw things over, and then the cliffhanger. THEN we have a week of Melon trying to convince Roko to let her rub bread on Roko's butt. Don't blame me, I don't give Jeph his ideas. :)

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! &lt;3

Erin Hartshorn

(The gif, not the comic.)

Sam Johnson

A cliché, but, I feel, appropriate. <a href="https://media.giphy.com/media/7rj2ZgttvgomY/giphy.gif" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://media.giphy.com/media/7rj2ZgttvgomY/giphy.gif</a>

“Questionable Content had an impressive 15-year run, which ended abruptly when its entire fandom spontaneously combusted. Researchers have yet to explain the phenomenon.”

William Cole

Welp. A) I’m going to need a new set of pants. B) I can never watch competitive classic Tetris matches on YouTube the same way ever again. (And yes, that’s a thing.)

Miyaa

FINALLY!!!!

Clifton Royston

Took Faye long enough...

Yeah, I definitely started screaming before I even read Jeph's note 😅😚

I watched that animation play like 5 times to see if there was any message in the flashing blocks between &lt;3 blinks. Thought it was pulling a subliminal "SEXY" or something 😆

Tim Eldred

Really trying not to piss off my wife who is trying to sleep right now. Total failure. Lols engaged.

Gary Walker

I didn't realize there was animation, thank you.

gatherer818

*tries to scream but only the Tetris theme song comes out*

Magic Chopstick Games

The animation isn't playing in the Patreon app, I had to go to the mobile site to fully experience the glory

YAY!!!

*continuing to inhale audibly*

Magic Chopstick Games

JEPH

I can't handle the tension AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm fine with both btw

darklion

OHMYGOD OH MY GOD OH MY GODOHMOYGOU

JD

What a great visual metaphor for an epiphany

I don't know if that's supposed to indicate "the pieces falling into place" or something phallic, or both.

darklion

Bravo Jeph. Bravo.

Owen Smith

Definitely Dora. Or, wait, didn't Faye have a roommate way back? Maybe it'll be that guy

Cody Renton

Support Proposition Infinity! Robosexuality is not a crime!!!!!

&gt; you may commence screaming

Joshua Thomas

This brightened a crappy work day immeasurably! Yay!

Stuart Telfer

JEPH

Rozzie Kopczynski

So...running on impulse or running to seek advice? If it's the latter, wonder who's going to have that land on them.

Michael Lazare

yisss, I hopr this continuse :)

Kyle Major

Hahaha Jeph, best troll is bestest &lt;3

MikeT

*actively screaming*

Mordaeus

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Asher Rose Fox

*screaming very politely and happily*

Cosmic

THE SHIP HAS SET SAIL!!!

Nicholas Lopez

Jeph. Jeph. DUDE.

Celine Chamberlin

Well, damn, this is one comic that will never see print, unless they invent animated ink.

Obliviontoad

Elliot is there drinking milk

John P Kowalchuk

OH MY SHIT IT'S HAPPENING

Erin Moriarty

*Waits for Jeph to mess with us again*

Scott Vogel

[screaming]

Brian

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... *breathes* ...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...

Dave Cochran

What do you mean "commence" screaming?

Mandy Hoskins

Well, about time. Though to be fair, truly shy persons would have needed another few years to see it.

Holly Nelson

Yay!!!!

Kitza

Aaaaaahhhhhh *gasp* wait I need my inhaler

Max D S

Oh shit wait this means we cut to Steve eating cereal for the next 40 strips doesn't it

Cody Renton

IT'S HAPPENINNNNG
