Bubbles Is On Top Of Things

Comments

YUP.

Yelling Bird

Marten's middle name is canonically and specifically NOT Tiberius because his father refused to allow his mother to so name him. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1835 I wrote that with a rather tongue-in-cheek middle name that Henry might find more acceptable (since he married a guy with that name). Jeph may be able to enlighten us, but I don't believe he's done so. if he has, @Bookbeard may be able to help.

Joe

Marten's middle name is canonically Tiberius.

William Cole

So many of the passing AIs are checking Bubbles out. Love it!

Fay Roberts

hey now, it's not pimping, lol. At worst it's a tentative nod

AlexKorobeiniki

@Stephen she can like what she wants but Faye has the tools & knowledge to completely disassemble any AI chassis ...

Joe

Marten Maurice Reed!! no pimping out your friends for chuckles!!

Joe

*realizing I just made it weird*

Ashe C. Addams

I'm things

Ashe C. Addams

DEFINITELY both.

William Cole

Her situational awareness protocol is such that she can detect these three checking her out even though she is simultaneously keeping overwatch… https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3489

Comics Ladybird

the two in the middle of panel one are both perfect renditions of the "eyes" emoji!

West Singleton

They are looking *sooo* respectfully

West Singleton

I love the idea that Jeph is in *every* strip, just slightly out of frame...

David Durant

Nah I just thought most of it was a shit ton of lube. 😂 Though she did end up with some corrosive joint oils, so there's that too

Green

You totally missed the amount of goo that came out of May during their first encounter.

legobil

I don't know. She hasn't shown signs of having a libido that I've noticed. For instance, when she woke up in Claire and Marten's bed, there was no hint of any interest in sex or romance. But we'll see!

jonesnori

Shame is wildly overrated.

Melissa Wilson

Sven saying "don't make it weird"? Methinks he doth protest too much...

Hugh Eckert

Bubbles is definitely not the only one on overwatch.

Halloween Jack

I realized something interesting today. If you count this Marten and Claire moving to Canada thing back to the comic strip Claire did the phone interview (4856). This has gone on 518 strips, which considering there are 260 Weekdays in a year , that means this has gone on about... 2 Years. Also this comic strip is almost 21 years old. Soon it will be old enough to drink in the U.S.

AJ Sharma

That beat in panel 3 where he's *not* saying the thing is such an amazing piece of comic work :) kudos to Jeph

Stephen Wells

Marten, panel 4 is channeling all the readers of the comic.

legobil

Security Lass is tall and strong but Bubbles is taller and stronger and I think Security Lass would like to be cuddled sometimes :)

Stephen Wells

Exactly! ☺️

legobil

" so this is how the pros do it "

Guillermo Ravelo

I didn't think that anyone could make fisting into a rather boring act, but Moray could do so entirely accidentally.

Amelia Lewis

The slight blush on the security guard when looking at Bubbles is adorable.

legobil

Moray has been very willing to let anyone stick anything anywhere ever since we met her. "Wanna put your hand in me?" is her *opening line*. I think she and Sven could have a very good time :)

Stephen Wells

Moray consists ENTIRELY of orifices.

Stephen Wells

Oh Sven. You are only not into voyeurism because you have never tried it.

legobil

Yes, I found the resemblance to be striking.

Clifton Royston

I think Faye might have an... idea due to the whole "pube in the hip socket" situation. But she doesn't know who 😅 She would have already bust a gut laughing if she did

enchantedsleeper

Agree, some hero worship is unquestionably happening

enchantedsleeper

Many people also have visual on Bubbles xD

enchantedsleeper

Everybody in the club has a respectful crush on Bubbles :) it's glorious.

Stephen Wells

Judging by Bubbles' face in panel 2, Liz and Moray must be up to no good.

Hawkeye

Moray would totally be into it

Bagge

love the casual checking out Bubbles going on in the background, they're either impressed by her, loving the dress, or both. ~<3

Mitsuki Ayane

Fair point! I was thinking of it as an attraction to typical robots, but you're right that he's into humans too and Moray is sort of between. That said, I don't think the experimenting "weird things" is brand new, caused by the watermelon and oven mitts with May. He's admitted before to having done some wacky shit, even in this night's comic!

Green

Sven's Intrusive Thoughts: "I wonder if Moray would feel like the inside of that watermelon...."

Darius Jenai

He's into humans too. I don't see the problem. Also he probably developed a kink for experimenting weird things when we look at the weird things he did with May.

mooviies

There's a lot of weird going around

Lightsabr2

suspect he means he isn't into people sneaking a peek, vs. his deliberately showing off the goods

Minzoku Bokumetsu

Ok I'm probably overthinking this, but Moray is SO extremely different from standard AIs that, to me, I wouldn't think the preference for robots would "carry over," so to speak. They are just in such a different class of type of existence. If the "normal" (metal and plastic, assuming) humanoid AI are what Sven's into, it doesn't make sense to me for him to also be into what is a essentially a pile of gloop in the shape of a lady. (Which I say with the utmost love for Moray, given how delightful and funny she is.)

Green

Who’s the tall green with silver hair in panel one?

Gary Wood

Please make it weird.

Alacrity Fitzhugh

Surveillance, yes. Covert surveillance, not so much.

nbarnes

I too am quietly enjoying Bubbles' presence.

Sammitch

I want it to be the twins

Brittany Huckey

Everybody's gotta crush on Bubbles :3

Fart Captor

I want lore on the twin AIs

Brittany Huckey

Thing 1 and Thing 2 post-singularity

Todd Ellner

I love how everyone around Bubbles reacts to her. Everyone's into the muscle mommy.

Joona Juselius

how weird is it?

Brendan Luster

Two other admirers in panel 1 as well!

Derek Benson

Bubbles in panel 2 gives me so much joy.

Joseph McGrath

See, Sven and Marten are both thinking it.

Yelling Bird

Feels like Jeph is hanging out around the 4th wall in that last panel

Not that Patrick Foltz

The possibilities with Moray would be endless. And if I had any shame, I would be ashamed of the ones I am thinking of.

A. J. Alfieri-Crispin

This arc seems like an elaborate excuse for Jeph to try out a bunch of new robot designs. We should start a betting pool on which ones resurface in, say, the next year.

William Cole

Maybe it's a whole Seven Duffs set. Where are Tipsy, Queasy & Surly?

William Cole

Bubs is super hot. Period.

Shawn K. Younkin

The little arrow behind Marten really makes it look like he's so shocked he just turned his head to look at Sven

NotEnufDog

I need to know everything about the tall, green AI in the back of the first panel. Super cute!

Runhildr Zaetl

I also have a crush. Bubbles could crush us both.

Drazi

I want to know more about the purple twins in panel 1. they have to have some backstory!

narkosys

Aside from the hair color, the twins in panel one are strikingly similar to Violence and Regret from Cubetown. Perhaps that chassis model has some sort of 2-for-1 deal marketed to twins? Or is it their evil Northampton doppelgangers: Destruction and Remorse? https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5035

BookBeard

Too late!

Captain Button

Unlikely. They were keeping it on the down low and only Momo and Hanners were ever aware of the relationship as far as I know.

BookBeard

Disco inferno can even make us lol. 🤣😂🤣

Carrie

focused, yes, that's the word.

Doc Gumby

😂🤣😂

Carrie

No more watermelons on a first date! -stern look-

Holly Nelson

I too would like to see how that would play out, for science.

JD

There's a hint of blush that says she's fangirling just a little bit.

Pete

I never take the Author's Note seriously, and now it's fooled me?

ValdVin

That’s… A Moray!!

Tom Cavnar

She’s smiling because she’s seeing Bubbles securing things.

Greg Matyola

Marten is ONE OF US! We want to SEE WHAT HAPPENS!

BobC

Oh, this one time, at band camp...

Joseph Houk

Nah, she's just very focused! Gotta be vigilant when it comes to Gremlizabeth!

Grace Kieser

Everybody smiles at Bubbles. Especially when she's INTENT.

Sleepy John

I'm with Marten here.

Eric Christian Berg

Security gal, and those two little ones with the red hair, I love it.

Nicolas Demers

Wait, so VOYEURISM is where Sven draws the line?

schachtelw

I feel like she wouldn't think twice about it, and somebody else would have to explain why she should.

Adam Abbott

Sven knows he's not into voyeurism. I'll take him at his word; not sure I wish to know how he knows.

ValdVin

Bubs is super hot in the dress.

GregD

I love Bubbles face in panel two, very suspicious.

Doc Gumby

The security has a crush on Bubbles. I think May might be interested in seeing Sven pursue Moray. Does Marten know about Sven and May hooking up?

Andrea Andrew

I don’t know if Moray would even wanna shack up with anyone, but she would maybe laugh the whole time 🤔

KingAtticus

You know, I haven't seen a train wreck for a while. Sven, can you go crash and burn for our amusement?

Tannerbot

with Moray it's more like vorerysm.

Peter McDevitt

Oh no, Marten has taken Fart Captor’s advice on letting Sven & Moray hook up.

Miyaa

If he won't, I will.

Joel Bateman

Bubbles’ overwatch gives her a free move before anything salacious takes place

Andrew

Sven isn't exhibitionist, really?

Jason Wotzko

Bubbles getting a fan club

JMK

It already is

maninblack

Security AI has a crush.

Drazi

Wouldn’t that be exhibitionism?

Gone

Especially excellent Martin faces, extra especially in panel two and three.

It's Lina
