Alex Tewes
2025-03-10 23:20:46 +0000 UTCThe responses in this thread just make me more tempted to write that fanfic xD (Although Stephen We- ahem, I mean, Marigold has already done an extremely good job in this comments section)
enchantedsleeper
2025-03-10 21:00:35 +0000 UTCYeah, fortunately the fact that Anh led with "Faye says you can't afford to hire me" averted the most obvious point of conflict

2025-03-10 13:48:04 +0000 UTCAnh’s only actual lesbian attraction so far seems to have been to Hannelore. Frankly, we don’t really have firm confirmation of her bisexuality; her feelings for Hanners were so obviously scrambled by confusion over being outclassed by someone *nice* that I’d question anything she concluded at that time. She did have that strange bondage/sub fantasy, which came out of nowhere, though. I still think she needs to be properly introduced to Pintsize.
Phil_M
2025-03-10 13:15:51 +0000 UTCShe offered to work unpaid, so she obviously believes she has enough to live on regardless. Her disappointment at discovering that they can’t afford to pay her is presumably some combination of not wanting to be too much of a vapid heiress, and being concerned that her friends aren’t making as much money as they doubtless deserve.
Phil_M
2025-03-10 13:10:35 +0000 UTCEvidence good so far. She’s rarely shown hostility to anyone she didn’t have cause to regard as competition, though her judgement in that respect can be shaky. And she has a sentimental streak, and takes responsibility. I mean, she’s also naive and entitled, but… strong evidence of a good heart.
Phil_M
2025-03-10 13:05:12 +0000 UTCDepends where she had to search for the mop.
Phil_M
2025-03-10 12:59:14 +0000 UTCSince this chat is questionable but not usually NSFW I thought I should keep it clean :) (rimshot!)

2025-03-10 12:04:41 +0000 UTCI wondered just how far that was going to go!

Stephen Wells
2025-03-10 11:17:32 +0000 UTCShe only didn't lie because she thought the truth would be sufficiently discouraging.
Stephen Wells
2025-03-10 11:16:16 +0000 UTCNo, the SCORN is against Angus. He’s wearing glasses in panel 1, it is Angus who cries during the anime in https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1441 that Hannelore was telling about.
legobil
2025-03-10 11:12:51 +0000 UTCBy the end of the day Anh will be so filthy, so grimy, so sweaty, so tired, that Faye and Bubbles will have to lead her into the shower and peel off her ruined clothing. As the hot water sluices down and the steam rises, their firm but gentle hands will cleanse her thoroughly, the soap gliding easily over her smooth mocha skin, leaving her clean and glistening. Her tired legs tremble but her slight form is held up by their strong bodies as they press against her on both sides. Her eyelids flutter. They exchange glances and, with one accord, their hands reach for connection lost with ao3 slash marigoldfarmer slash private slash yuri slash slash slash more slash
Stephen Wells
2025-03-10 11:01:20 +0000 UTCI’ve learned never to say never, but I cannot imagine bubbles or Faye ever being interested in nonmonogamy

2025-03-10 10:12:44 +0000 UTC"And this is when I gave birth to a yak" "What the fuck, Anh"
Stephen Wells
2025-03-10 09:35:39 +0000 UTCI think this interaction was all that was needed to put Bubbles on track with where Faye ended up not hiring but letting Ahn stay and mess around...
Anders Rapp
2025-03-10 08:44:16 +0000 UTCAnd so far she's only searched for a mop and screwdriver. I'm terrified to think what will happen if she actually does some hands on repair work!
Bitter Magic
2025-03-10 07:13:34 +0000 UTCShe probably needs an internship more than employment anyway.
legobil
2025-03-10 05:58:38 +0000 UTCI mean, the chances of Anh suggesting it are small but non-zero. The chances of Faye and Bubbles agreeing, I estimate approximately... negative one hundred bajillion point nope times infinity.

Ursus Ridens
2025-03-10 03:50:05 +0000 UTCYes but a hot mess you chose to interact with is one thing, and a hot mess suddenly appearing on your doorstep is another.
Am Queue
2025-03-10 03:29:14 +0000 UTCOh, I agree. I was thinking more that it's within Anh's character to propose the idea in this way, but it would be rejected immediately. I don't actually ship them.
Izzy Omega
2025-03-10 03:13:32 +0000 UTCI really enjoy you shuffling new disasters into the cast as various characters grow out of the disasters they start the strip out as
Brian Scott
2025-03-10 03:12:43 +0000 UTCThat is a category 5 awful idea, and if that's what Jeph chose to use to represent polyamory, I would probably leave the patreon and stop reading the comic. Not that I expect Jeph to care about my $1 a month.
Am Queue
2025-03-10 03:05:28 +0000 UTCAnh is rather clueless when at a different social strata. She did try to help - which is probably why Faye didn’t make her wait outside. I see this as raising all boats. And she’s in love.

Daniel Burnett
2025-03-10 01:59:41 +0000 UTCThere is the idea that Momo's "Anime Sweat" is something AIs took up to make themselves more relatable to us meatbags, perhaps like with the blushing.
ValdVin
2025-03-10 01:38:46 +0000 UTCHeh. Love that SCORN. But it’s Wil, not Angus.
Holly Nelson
2025-03-10 01:32:40 +0000 UTCI sense an internship coming... The funny part? She gets REALLY good at repairing robots.
Yelling Bird
2025-03-10 01:18:08 +0000 UTCAnh didn't pretend she hadn't spoken to Faye already, so that's positive (though that would be difficult to pull off anyway, with Faye right there).
jonesnori
2025-03-10 01:16:36 +0000 UTCWait, so Faye's hair *isn't* actually smoldering? I just assumed she was on the verge of spontaneously combusting out of sheer frustration.
BookBeard
2025-03-10 01:04:13 +0000 UTCThere is such a thing as "way too seriously"? I never though so.
ValdVin
2025-03-10 00:43:28 +0000 UTCJust… No. Please… No.
Melissa Wilson
2025-03-10 00:39:16 +0000 UTCI bet there’s a red Swingline stapler in that roll-aboard bag of hers. They don’t bind up as much, you know.
Melissa Wilson
2025-03-10 00:37:55 +0000 UTCSorry sweetheart; the good cop’s running a coffee shop in Cubetown now. The sign out front may or may not be flipped, but try the door, just in case.
Melissa Wilson
2025-03-10 00:34:13 +0000 UTC(taking this way too seriously) But that was diegetic, right? Like Momo's lightning, or Marigold's projectile nosebleeds, or Roko and Bubbles' pine-scented steam, the characters were actually doing those things in-world, usually called out explicitly. So unless Faye's hair is actually smoldering, this *would* be an example of Jeph-the-artist using the visual trope rather than drawing what was the characters were experiencing in world. (This fails to explain another example that might be on both sides of the line - https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1445 - the giant "SCORN!" seems purely representative, while the reactions imply Angus really did go flying?)
Mark Eichin
2025-03-10 00:33:41 +0000 UTCMaybe that’s only the *white* girl way, though? Being of said disposition myself, I can’t be sure…
Melissa Wilson
2025-03-10 00:31:46 +0000 UTCMommy’s always right; don’t make Mommy mad.

Brendan Luster
2025-03-10 00:01:46 +0000 UTCI don’t know if they know that is what Marigold actually does. Also I’m not sure robot repair ads/sponsorship would be good on a gaming channel though anyone who does a build their own PC from scratch does insanely well.
Miyaa
2025-03-09 23:45:13 +0000 UTCYeah, but she’s also an engineer. Same reason why I like Simon Giertz (edit: originally “Gertz”) even though I only have seen her with that wicked head stitch after her brain surgery.
Miyaa
2025-03-09 23:42:59 +0000 UTCI think you mean Brute Squad but Swat Team definitely works

Dissociated Women Incorporated
2025-03-09 23:36:04 +0000 UTCFaye's emitting some "annoyed exhaust" (?) in panel one. For such a fan has Jeph borrowed from the lexicon of anime comicana before? Cause this is getting close.
ValdVin
2025-03-09 23:35:33 +0000 UTCThe way her parents seem to be making contact increasingly difficult makes me wonder if it isn't almost a Milton Waddams situation. “I looked into it more deeply and I found that apparently what happened is that she was disowned five years ago and no one ever told her about it, but through some kind of glitch in the payroll department, she still gets an allowance.” “So we just went ahead and fixed the glitch. So she won't be receiving an allowance anymore, so it'll just work itself out naturally.” “We always like to avoid confrontation whenever possible.”

John
2025-03-09 23:25:03 +0000 UTCI'm wondering how come Faye and Bubbles struggle so much if no-one else is really doing what they do (it seems), but based on the past few strips I expect that the "competition" is companies like FutureLife who want to gatekeep repairs of their tech and will discourage body owners from going elsewhere, either via threat of voided warranty or just marketing language about how they offer the most appropriate care.
enchantedsleeper
2025-03-09 23:24:33 +0000 UTCFaye is the crusty chief. Bubbles is the entire SWAT team.
Graydon Armstrong
2025-03-09 23:22:07 +0000 UTCYa'd think that, with Anh, Bubbles and Faye could do well. Add in Hanners, and that gets very well. Maybe they should put ads on "Burger Oni's" channel. Jus' makin' use of their connections.
Michael Steamweed
2025-03-09 23:20:17 +0000 UTCWho, Claire? I don't think that Claire interacted with Anh at the wedding?
enchantedsleeper
2025-03-09 23:16:49 +0000 UTCI love how happy Anh is to see Bubbles. She's a goofus and kind of a dummy in some ways, but she's got a good heart. (I hope.)

Sean Kinlin
2025-03-09 22:57:57 +0000 UTCseems like she's trying (kinda) to rediscover herself and not just be a wealthy heiress

Sean Kinlin
2025-03-09 22:56:19 +0000 UTCThough, as soon as the Librarian hears that Ahn is back... they may have a few "kind" words to share with them...
John
2025-03-09 22:43:34 +0000 UTCDoes Anh *need* to be paid? (I'm not encouraging this, to be clear...well...maybe...I mean, it's definitely getting interesting)

Edward Clayton Andrew
2025-03-09 22:41:44 +0000 UTCYes to both. It sort of transcends mere objectifying sexy, the first blush "looking fine" into, "oh, and they can DO shit! They have agency and can take care of things!"
Edward Clayton Andrew
2025-03-09 22:40:51 +0000 UTCSince Ahn will pay to work there, they can afford her. Let the negotiations begin!

William Cole
2025-03-09 22:35:24 +0000 UTCUgh. So terrible. Now Anh has to just become part of a triad with Faye and Bubbles. There's just no other option.
Izzy Omega
2025-03-09 22:31:38 +0000 UTCAnh's reaction and behaviour here would be enough to make me give her a chance. The genuine anger she expressed over it, especially recognising how important it is to that guy because it's a matter of bodily autonomy, was... Actually really sweet? Like, damn, Anh, way to recover from a rocky intro.

Daryl Sawyer
2025-03-09 22:28:50 +0000 UTCFaye and Bubbles' business struggles have been a thread that's been around for a long time. They're excellent at what they do, but it's clearly a tough market. There does seem to be a real untapped need for robot mechanics - it feels like the worst of both worlds between the medical and auto industries. So this really could be an opportunity for them to turn things around and start something bigger. Anh being the daughter of a robotics magnate doesn't feel like a coincidence, and her pretty decent customer service and outrage over a "shoddy" (almost certainly corner-cutting) product places her in a decent spot to help out.
