The leek hair is growing...
You can tell that Jeph is cool because he knows about 6-7.
Indeed, a hip and with-it youth if ever I've seen one.
Anh, you have to retract that antenna -- you're getting stupid messages from The Voices. And just exactly why do you want to be Cool Adult? (And, um, are you related to Zlata?)

pretty sure the 6 7 thing isn't even in anymore, not that I ever understood it. ~<3
No one ever understood it. Even the guy who started it all said he imagined no actual meaning for it.
It's important to consider if your message will reach or not at this point in time. Being "right" have nothing to do with it.
Being right has everything to do with it. There are multiple ways to get the message across, but if the message isn't right, there's no point.
Anh is right though.
I don’t need a hand count to find out how many of us were psychologically bullied. If you’re reading this - you’re one of us. I’ve been large most of my life and many adults viewed me as an aggressor. I was able to prevent my kid’s bully from making her appear to be the bad guy. … It’s hard to watch history try and rhyme. I sympathize but Sam needs to deal with haters in a different way.
As much as I hate to say it, I think Bubbles is in the wrong here. Sam might've thrown the juice box that started the physical aspect of it, but I'd hardly call that "violence". As someone who grew up bullied, it's common for the bullies to throw the first actual punch. From there, you either do nothing and nobody sees shit or you fight back and suddenly you're the problem child instead of the ones actually causing trouble. If Bubbles wasn't willing to be the "that's rough, buddy" kind of adult, she should've at least had the foresight to ask who threw the actual first punch before going into lecture mode. Even though headlocks are dangerous, disregarding the reason they felt the need to use one is just as irresponsible, to me.
Except it didn't stop at the Juice box Emmett Choked someone into unconsciousness. That is Violence. had the entire incident been "Sam threw a Juice box and only Emmett was punished". Bubbles would probably be far less hesitant to show support.
"How tall are you Bubbles?" "I am six feet and seven inches, why do you ask?"
Anh, Bubbles can be moved to violence. In fact, in certain configurations it is her default mode. Anh needs to know that, even if she is physically unable of triggering that mode in Bubbles, it does exist. Or ias Faye might put it, "Girl, don't go you pissing her off. She can rip your head off and shit in your lungs." Bubbles' lack of fecal matter not withstanding,
I’d assume that Anh has picked up or been told by now that Bubbles is ex-military. That style of cybershell is probably quite unusual, for a start, and Anh isn’t so tactful as to refrain asking about it. But I’m not sure how relevant all that is here.
Anh needs a distraction who isn’t a teen. Maybe Bubbles can suggest a coffee/tea break?
Bubbles should just remind her that she *still* hasn't found that buttfor she asked for. She needs it to finish calibrating the left handed screwdrivers. It's very important.
Maybe Anh has just found her metier.
Does Bubble have an electric metier?
HOW DO YOU DO, FELLOW KIDS
we have very different expectation of ‘adult’, here.
The term contains multitudes.
8 9
five three oh ni-ee-yi-ine
Alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright now ladies,
Yeah?
Ahn risking her is life and she doesn't even know it. 😄
*Anh
Bubbles is much more of an Ice Cold, than a Cool Aunt
So, sort of the Garnet? Sometimes a bit stoic but therefore all her words carry more meaning?
Wait, is the QC universe up to 6-7 being a meme, or are they still on Harambe?
67 is so 2025 Dad jeez
I had a student once ask me how I felt about 6-7, and I told them that if I heard that joke, we would do pushups. Surprisingly, it’s never come up
I have to admit I didn't even see Jeph's comment below the comic, and couldn't figure out why so many in the comments were talking about 6-7. I think maybe it had so many exclamation points that I couldn't actually see it.
You know who would be the cool brother… Marten!
Oh no. Do we have an in universe confirmation of how tall Bubbles is????
Not in specific terms, but she is frequently depicted with the top of her head at or slightly below the top of door frames. For example: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4897 A standard residential door in the US is 6' 8", which would probably make her (I swear I'm not meme-ing, it's just math) about 6' 7".
This mem reference will age like cheese left in the sun
Nah, the next big thing is gonna be 9-7. 'Cause if six turns out to be nine, I don't mind. I don't mind.
If all the... HIPPIES cut off all of their hair I don't CARE I don't CARE, DIG cuz I got my own world to live through and I ain't gonna copy YOU
What the heck is 67? Inquiring olds wish to know
It's like 23 skidoo, but bad because Kids These Days.
The thing is, as the cousin who was seen as more of a cool uncle to his kid cousins (because their dad is human excrement) Kids need a balance of solidarity to concern. When the kids got in trouble for swordfighting with sticks at an organized event I got my old training swords out and I put them through hell... of actual swordsmanship training so they could swordfight *safely* next time. Obviously not universally applicable because not everyone has been in HEMA or is qualified to teach the techniques. But there needs to be a solidarity to safety balance. If the kids are getting in trouble for fighting, get them actual self defense lessons. Any given non-MMA martial art from a reputable dojo is going to include teaching them the philosophy of self defense. Sam and Emmet would absolutely eat the Karate Philosophy I was taught as a teenager with a spoon. "You learn to defend yourself and others. You never strike the first blow, but you are ready to finish a fight." level stuff. PS: Weirdly common HEMA related question I get just because it's interesting. No, a "Wrath-Hew" isn't a cool anime move. It's a really elementary maneuver actually. Just kind of a diagonal cut. I was taught to use it after rebuffing someone's strikes while they're off guard. If you make contact, you get the point!
That's awesome of you and we hope your cousins did/will realize the gift they were given. As a young adult, we trained in a couple martial arts as well as taking self-defense classes; that muscle memory never left, as evidenced by times we're severely startled by something lol.
Skibidi?
"Skibidi" is deliberate gibberish. Kids picked it up from the surrealistic YouTube series Skibidi Toilet.
I thought 6 was *afraid* of 7...
What did you do to 9, 7, WHAT DID YOU DO
STOP ! 67 is even in my comics now. HELP
There can be no help. We cannot escape from it.
Oh, Bubbles. Not being the cool adult is fine, but if you want to help them to be safe, you do want to be an adult that they're going to come talk to. Finding the right balance is hard, though.
Yeah I’m every much stuck between Anh and Bubs on this one.
Anh ... adult. If it makes Samantha happy I guess
Speaking as a former Emmett: I know Anh is gonna go about it in the most hilariously cringy way possible, but she's absolutely right in thinking they need an adult who's at least sympathetic.
Jeffffff you're on thin ice
I struggled to figure out who you meant. ("Jeph")
I want the next cool meme to be number based as well. Kids will say "three cats!" ... for whatever the reason they were into the previous number thing... but.. get _this_: It'll be a French-English bilingual joke: "3 4" Man those kids will be so cool... and I'll be so with it. "With it Baxter" they'll call me! And with it I shall be... once more... forever once more...
The cat named One Two Three won the swimming race, because Un Deux Trois cat sank.
6-7¡
67!
You really shouldn't bring those things into the shop. Faye has an allergy. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2343
The range of Dora's faces/emotions in that comic is hilariously awesome 😂
I love that Bubbles has perfected Claire's "why me?" face. I hate that for her though.
Ahn logic = the anti-logic
Pretty solid auntie logic though
Just tell Sam that Emmett can haz cheezburger.
I'm siding with Anh on this one, but I do get here Bubbles is coming from.
Tell Sam you want to show her this cool video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
hmm, jerk-o-matic flag set
I wish more adults had no interest in being a "cool adult"
I'm a "cool adult". As a result, no kids talk to me.

Warning! 🚨 Warning! 🚨 Imminent threat to time scale predicted! Modern memes may make it impossible for only 3 years to have passed since 2003!
The time is Now.
🤷
On fleek is still cool, right? And having “rizz”?
Isn't this comic technically set in like 2015? I can't even remember if rizz existed then
Just remind them that they lost the game
I LOSE THE GAME, YOU ENORMOUS ROTTER
Anh is about to give an incomprehensible speech that Faye and Bubbles will hate but Sam will immediately be like "omigod you get it"
Wouldn't all the cool memes and slang be way too "normie" for Sam?

42 It is the answer to everything.
And to life, and the universe.
I almost would have thought Bubbles incapable of slouching.
you learn from those you love
Pogs? Are pogs cool again yet?
Dunno if they're cool but they're definitely poggers
"Look up the memes", Anh? That's the kind of thing I would have to do, and I'm (mumblemumble) years older than Jeph!
if it makes you feel any better, i started having to look up memes about two years ago. i was 26 😂 the meme ecosystem goes so fast these days
ah poor Bubbles, you haven't yet learned how teenagers work
Skip forward multiple years to when Bubbles and Faye have a teenager and Bubbles, while wearing a catchers mask, dangles a slab of meat on plate before running away.
"What about all your base? Are they still belong to us?"
All our base has belonged to them since the before before time
Oh noes, Bubble can feel a world of frustration coming on.
This is what happens when you let the goblins meet!
if you've gotta look it up you are the drunk person at the party
67
I'm convinced it's just an evolution of the butts disease
