Wait... are we getting a peri-menopausal women added in here?!? Do Robots have to deal with this hell?!?
This page hasn't been posted to the webcomic yet. The latest page there is the thursday one.
I've also noticed occasional timeouts here and there for the past couple days. Could be having server trouble.
I remain firmly team Sam-Emmett, but as someone who enjoys (fictional) messy drama I gotta say I don't hate the direction this is going in.
Team Sammett?
Not that it's beyond Jeph tonpull odd, but if we pursue this Harry-Emmett ship, I am going to need lot of convincing that going from intentionally misgendering to "I like that you're different" isn't just someone fetishizing Emmett for their nonbinary-ness.
Or, he likes Emmett but not enough to express this in front of his friends - a 'we can go on dates but only to the McDonald's drive-through' relationship.
AHHHHGGGGG! Cliff hanger! AHHHHGGGGG!
Faye would be shocked to hear someone considers her an "excellent behavioral model".
Oh wow: I think I actually understand the subtext for once!
Early onset menopausal symptoms?
Seriously? No dom-text jokes yet? I am disappoint.
Do Faye and Bubbles have lives outside their relationship, though? How often do we see one without the other?
They live and work together, but they have lots of friends too - they're often together, but they're together with other people around.
Maybe you dont respire, Bubbles, but I believe you could overheat from embarrassment due to subtext…!
Pine scent might make a nice addition to the atmosphere https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3669
"I know writers who use subtext and they're all cowards"
Bubbles is very good at saying nothing while acting agreeable
She could be a POLITICIAN! (Except she has morals.)
"Though I swear to god if they don't figure out they're dating soon I will hurl them both into the sea"
ooh how long have you had that new avatar, FC? 🩷🤍🧡
'round here, we just call that text, ma'am
Excellent behavioral models? Okay, but just make sure Faye isn't being a bad influence, otherwise Becky will be SUPER cheesed off. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5023
Becky & Aurelia should meet, take notes, help Yay plot the demise of their husbands.
Here I am learning that respire is a word. It makes sense, I've just never heard it used
When you need to spire something, but you already spired it once.
Faye: “More-than-best-friends-sense tingling…"
Is Emmett’s mom falling for Bubbles?
Dora might need to intervene when it comes to Sam. She needs to show her how to focus her Goth/witchy powers into something constructive.
Or, it could be time for THE RETURN OF RAVEN
That's the problem with repeatedly dropping hints in a conversation -- eventually you either start tripping over them, or else they pile up so deep on the floor they eventually reach your floating ribs and you can't breathe properly 😂. Here I think Emmet's mom is definitely drifting towards the latter category.
Ok, I like Emmet's Mom.
Emmett's Mom has got it goin' on.
Somewhere, Faye has a "WTF?" reaction in response to having been referred to as an "excellent behavioral model".
Speaking of which, how does Bubbles dissipate waste heat? Does she breathe for that purpose, and to not freak people out?
I believe we have seen her venting it all at once in response to a sudden and unexpected instance of being hot under the collar.
That family may also need a dog. Dogs are magical!
Emmett should definitely get a husky. Big ol' floofy wolfy doggo to go chomp and awoo with. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4704
Mom like open minded friends? The “near death experience is cool” boy not quite being friend material needs Bub’s analysis for Emmett. Fair enough? I’ve seen bullies try and co-opt those who stand up to them. I’m not sure any teen bully grows out of manipulating others by guile or force without hard proof.
I actually think the bully in this case is potentially infatuated with Emmet and may possibly be gay themselves. True bullies don't blush that much in casual conversation, not do they apologise to their victim that readily.
typo, panel 2: ellipses have 3 dots, not 2
It's an abbreviated ellipsis. :D
"It's subtext, Steven."

"It's dangerous for Emmett to be carrying such a big torch; they could start a fire."
"They SAID they wouldn't do any fires, geez!" https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4713
Bubbles opens the conversation in a new window.
Just not Windows 11. I hear that Window sucks.
It’s better to have a co-dependent than no friends, unless you’re used to being a lone wolf.
Emmett canonically wants to be a wolf, although perhaps a dual wolf (Awoo & Chomp).
being a parent is complicated on many subjects
True dat.
Becky is such an academic.
IKR? How blatantly subtle can you be in a conversation before connotation becomes denotation?
My sister let herself get dragged into several friends' "messy phases" Stressed our mom out to no end.
Yeah. What subtext? To everyone who responded: This was irony. Thank you.
I'm missing it too. Boys, amirite?
So Emmett and Sam's relationship should be more like Faye and Bubbles, huh? Let's call Roko and Yay and see that they think.
I don’t think we’ve ever seen Yay LOL but that may do it.
History will say Faye was Bubbles’ debugger
She certainly pressed the hard reset button a few times
