How'd a nice joint like this end up in a girl like you?

gatherer818

Yeah, I’m that guy too. What can I say — dad was an engineer. Was annoyed with clumsy, glow in the dark ET while watching the movie, wondering how a creature with a body like a pudding and spidery fingered arms but short penguin feet every the hell became a technologically advanced spacegoing race. And bioluminescent! C'mon already. Finally arrived at a paleontological backstory that satisfied me, but it still makes me grouchy.

Holly Nelson

So, I don't wanna be that guy. You know that guy? The guy who nitpicks the smallest, most insignificant detail in a comic or movie scene, and completely misses the point of the whole thing? *sighs* Okay, I'm gonna be that guy. I was looking at Punchbot's arm, and it looked... odd to me. (Biomedical background) The bundles of red myomers seem to stop short of what looks like the joint to me. Also, myomers act like biological muscle fibers, essentially trading diameter for length. But Punchbot's arm is sheathed, apparently tightly, in metal. There'd be nowhere for the myomers to expand *into*. Okay, yeah. Sorry. ^_^;

Dark Storymaker

PEOPLE! This is just another Jeph shiptease. It'll NEVER happen. THIS is what we get for giving him money. And I'll stop giving him ANY MORE... the moment I run out.

BobC

I think you're onto something - Questionable Content does somewhat rhyme with Quick-setting Concrete :)

Andrew

Not me. I'm waiting to see Six Pint catch fire here...

.... It's really amusing to see all the shippers practically combusting at how you are drawing this out... Though truth be told I'm not that far behind them at this point....

Julienne Ignace

they gon' bang.

Oh Faye, enjoy it; it's been a long road to happiness.

Honestly, I bet that was weird as hell to draw. I mean, you spend years getting really good at anatomy just to fuggg it all up in panel 2. Like goes against everything you've worked so hard to practice.

Lightsabr2

Next comic: How’d a nice girl like you wind up in a joint like this?

Summer Sudbrink

I'm sure even if she can't get them off-the shelf, she and Faye coud probably machine the required parts, right? I mean, it's not like they're made from some top-secret alloy.

Totem Pole

Hmm, never thought about it before, but given Bubbles military-quality build, can she get replacement materials when she needs them as a civilian?

Chris Hull

Meanwhile, Pintsize sits alone with his toaster... (Unless he got lucky with the tugboat)

Bagge

And cue Shakira...

Will Weaver

Everybody here talking about Bubbles' flexibility, and I came here to talk about how cool it is that Faye and Bubbles are about to give Punchbot what he always wanted: a better punching arm. Something he couldn't find on a shelf somewhere, and nobody else has ever designed for him. They're good.

Daryl Sawyer

I love it when Bubbles turns it around on Faye.

Brent Catherman

aaah that gives me flashbacks to "the most metal scene in Alice Grove"

Ísabel Pirsic

I read that as "wood" for a minute and was like "whoa"... My dirty mind...

gatherer818

You're killing me, Jeph. Kill. Ing. Me.

Mandy Hoskins

Bib overalls Faye with pigtails is the best Faye. I miss Faye with pigtails. ☹️

Holly Nelson

Soon, please, Jeph. D'you want to see us Beg?

Lars Gottlieb

Yeah, that smile says: "You know that you want this"!

Ben Russell-Gough

Basically, we're ending this week with Roko about to jump poor Clinton, Brun very obviously pining for Elliott and finally Faye and Bubbles about to jump EACH OTHER! Man, this strip has heated up quickly!

Ben Russell-Gough

Lift her legs behind her shoulders, hell, she can probably just pop those legs off. Bubbles strikes me more as a domme, though.

Valraven

Bubbles' face! Panel four! Bubbles' face! Panel four! BUBBLES' FACE! PANEL FOUR!

Diptych

The trouble with QC ships is that instead of moving through water, they're trying to move through quick setting concrete. Quick setting concrete that sits there and laughs mockingly.

Thomas Boys

She is showing off; whether she appreciates the subtext she's putting in it is another question. AIs in this strip seem to be as much at the mercy of their subconscious as we fleshy types.

Ben Russell-Gough

Bubbles, you TEASE! Do you have any idea the thoughts that you've just put into Faye's mind? Faye needed this, of course because she needs to remember that Bubbles is people but she isn't human. If she wants to be a good friend, she needs to keep bearing that in mind.

Ben Russell-Gough

Bubbles is getting cuter. Is she secretly primping for Faye?

Does that make Faye maybe-curious?

Leak

That "maybe" totally means yes, Faye...

David Paul

Welp, I'mma gunna have to fan art again at some point.

Stoodmuffin

YES.

Stoodmuffin

Tall, muscular, AND can possibly lift her legs behind her shoulders. Maybe we can have it all.

TMN

Is Bubbles.... flirting?

Bagge

This ship has GOT to set sail sometime!!

Andrew Mitchell

Jeph, pls moar

Nicholas Lopez

Jeph, I think you’ve inadvertently made Bubbles cuter again. In a freakish way, granted.

Miyaa

I like bendy straws

A Concept: Bubbles is an AI with hyper-mobility syndrome

JD

YES

Populuxe

We would very much like to see this yes

Mordaeus

Okay, I'm enjoying the articulations here.

z

YES

Stoodmuffin

And this is how Faye gets wooed

Ryan Pratt

I don't think we have any evidence on the trustworthiness of Bubbles' hips.

Michael Nuzzo

Secretly? SECRETLY?!!!

Yeah she ain't gonna lie about what they can do...

MikeT

We know she does laundry, but that doesn't imply sweat. When you work with metal you tend to get stuff on your clothes; mill scale, filings, lubricants, etc.

Gary Walker

Those hips don’t lie.

Andrew

Bib overalls Faye is best Faye. Snarky Bubs is best Bubs.

Gary Walker

Ooh, is this Bubbles way of starting the foreplay?

Lord Crusade

I think everyone secretly answered yes to Bubbles :3

Tim Eldred

:3

Fart Captor

Yes.... a demonstration is necessary!

I wonder if Bubbles "sweats" or does anything like that and therefore has to do laundry

Strongly identifying with Faye in this one.

William Cole

So glad we're getting back to Faybles after like two years of diversion

Cody Renton

Juuuuust shippin' the Faybles.
