Upon Further Reflection

I noticed that the goals are still up there. 10k is the current goal and the bar says it is at 93% so doing a little math there gives me an idea of where the creator is at. It isn't bluntly out there for everyone to see but at the same time, it's still there.

Jeph, your Patreon "Overview" page no longer shows your total monthly income - is this a new Patreon settings option? I see a few other of my patreonees also no longer show that info. I suspect I would be LESS likley to support creators set up that way figuring that if they aren't showing that info then they probably are gettting enough that they don't need my support. Then again, for individulas like you who are getting a fair amount of coin though this system, maybe a big monthly total might be a detrement to new patrons. Anyhow, I would prefer the transparancy.

The reason I have been following and enjoying this comic is not only that I love to see it develop in style, the humor and topics of daily things that is easy to relate to, but most importantly the inclusion of it. Characters like Bubbles are pure gold, as the reader doesn't form the opinion based on physical appearance or configuration of the character, but on the personality inside. It shows humanity at its best and worst. It also shows friendship in its deepest meaning. The way that Jeph introduces characters, sometimes of different orientations, (dis)abilities or identities and showcase them for their personalities takes us past the judgement on the character for what they are and puts the focus on who they are through their personalities. It inspires me to do the same in the "real" world.

Keep the faith, Bubbles! <3

So much love for Bubbles! There's a great depth and air of nobility to her character. I love how you've integrated her and how the other characters, especially Hanners and Emily, interact with her. Although things didn't go the way she'd hoped, I am glad to see she still has hope and I can't wait to see what she and Faye get up to next.

Just became a Patron. I've been supporting mainly educational stuff. Then I realized my favorite webstrip WAS educational, providing fertile thinking and opinions on our AI future. Yup. That's why I'm supporting this. Yup.

Bubbles' universe isn't a simulation per se. It's a sim-simulation running in our heads, of a simulation running in Jeph's head, which is in a universe which is arguably a simulation ....

I like the wording here.

Maybe CW goes to prison, and Bubbles picks up the pieces of Robot Fight Club and finds a way for PunchBot and Co to make a legit living?

Damn...it feels like a chapter in bubbles' life has come to a close and it's kind of a downer ending really, but at least there is the silver lining of bubbles dealing with CW and of course it'll be even more delicious if they decide to sick cops on her. But even though this chapter is ending a new chapter is beginning on which bubbles, while devoid of the memories of her past which she holds so dear, is free of CW and her control and gets to start a new life with new friends who truly care for her, I hope that she can overcome the trauma of being abused and mentally violated by CW and find a job where she can do what she loves, I can't wait to see what direction our cast ends up going in next.

So many tears.

Why is it raining and it's only coming from my eyes? These feels, man.

Yes, the universe is a simulation. And it may contain nuts.

Me, too, Bubbles. Me, too.
