That what I think, too. But I could understand Bubbles having a moment of anger and revenge.
2017-01-28 11:34:29 +0000 UTC
One would hope not.
However, I'd be willing to forgive her taking personal revenge.
2017-01-28 11:32:57 +0000 UTC
Yup, but at least you get to see the next bit Sunday ;D

I agree. This is a wonderful comic.

Long time reader, first time commenter. I'm super pumped about this story arc. I've been besides myself thinking about what's going to happen next. This is easily one of the top things I look forward to each day.

I guess the monster wasn't her memories after all. Corpse Witch's response betrays that pretty thoroughly.
Time for Bubbles to let her have it with both barrels.
Edit: Nice shadow work in panel 6.

Corpse Witch is a despicable character, but given Bubbles' history I doubt she will stoop to her level when enacting her revenge.

I was kindof wondering about that too. I had theorized maybe she had some other failsafe but the virus thing makes the most sense. Don't know why I didn't think of it earlier.

yes, but interspersed with a few scenes of Steve refilling a bowl of cereal..

Perhaps it's getting to be about time to call up that law enforcement official who was concerned about people being exploited... ??
2017-01-26 16:19:48 +0000 UTC
My guess is that the point where Corpse Witches eye glows is where she thinks she is letting loose the AI virus to wipe out Bubbles altogether.

Still surprised Bubbles got there first - unless iVampire and Station felt she had dibs....

I'm voting for bidet. With the eyes eternally looking up.
Rudolph Gerber

Something tells me CW is due for some... reconfiguration.
That being said, I suppose the difference in being turned into a bidet, and being turned turned into a tasteful lamp might hinge on whether she actually can restore Bubbles' memories.
David Paul
2017-01-26 09:48:27 +0000 UTC
Indeed, and also the wicked smile on Bubbles in the last panel. It's expressed with both mouth and more importantly the eyes. The way I'm reading it, she's also whispering in the last panel, for an extra layer of creepiness.
Peter Jensen
2017-01-26 09:25:36 +0000 UTC
Hmm, what would a lawful good person do in this situation? Perhaps hand CW over to the robot police, so she can spend a looooooooooong time in robot jail? Maybe after "extracting" and disconnecting her hard drive to ensure she doesn't do any damage in the meantime.
Peter Jensen
2017-01-26 08:37:41 +0000 UTC
Check out CW's eye in that last panel. I dunno if that's a wrinkle of dismay, or panic, or a little tear of fear, but holy cow, that itty bitty detail is just feckin' perfect.

Doesn't have to be a safe, just a nice jar. That also happens to a Faraday cage. :)

Pretty sure something could be arranged for the group to continue in the absence of CW. In fact, it might work out better to put the thing onto a more legal basis...
David Howe
2017-01-26 07:02:34 +0000 UTC
I am assuming it was supposed to let the monster out to rampage though Bubbles' mind - which isn't going to happen.
David Howe
2017-01-26 06:58:01 +0000 UTC
What's with the glowy eyes? Are they supposed to trigger some bomb or transportation device?
2017-01-26 06:51:23 +0000 UTC
As much as people seem to think that Bubbles is going to go on a rampage, I just don't see that. She wouldn't forget about Punchbot or Jeremy or anyone else whose livelihoods would be threatened by the sudden death of CW. I think Bubbles has something a little more subtle in mind. Something that will stop CW, but not harm her friends and colleagues. Maybe it's take over her racket, I don't know. But I am really looking forward to finding out.

We are such a bloodthirsty bunch. that last panel promises much from Bubble, but what form?

Tear off her head.
Tear out her vocal speaker.
Place head in safe.
Close safe.

Oh gee, what a shame that safe happened to be open when Bubbles arrived. Good thing there will be nothing in there for the cops to find when the come to collect the CW pieces.
Buck Caldwell
2017-01-26 05:04:23 +0000 UTC
She also thought that the monster thing that she had control of wouldn't be harmed and ready to be set loose like the eye lights thing in panel 4
2017-01-26 04:58:49 +0000 UTC
Oh snap :(
Maksim Mukhammedov

I'm kinda feeling like Bubbles is too Lawful-Good to punish Corpse Witch physically.
Also betting that CW claims to have a backup, regardless of whether she does.

...I mean, Corpse Witch knew this was going to happen, right? Even if it didn't happen for ten years, it still would've happened.

Activating the autodestruct function of the monster she had implanted in Bubbles?
