Fayble Seaman *spells carefully*
No. No! No, I will NOT ship Faybles. For the shippers, Jeph is like Charles Schulz's Lucy, setting the football up for Charlie Brown to kick, then pulling it away at the last moment. I can see Jeph wringing his hands and cackling with maniacal glee has he ensnares all the shippers as his teasing plot inches forward. I can only envision a sudden plot shift as Melon's ass completes its first orbit and slams into HannerDad's space station, causing exciting drama and mayhem. Yes, I see Jeph's machinations. He can pull not only the football, but also the rug out from under us. No, I will not ship Faybles until that ship is out of the harbor and cruising the open seas!
My name on the forums is USS Martenclaire. I'm hoping to see the USS Faybles at some point.
With all the shipping drama in the air, I'm surprised there isn't a comic where Claire's sixth sense activates...
Fully expect Claire to explode in about 10000 directions when she hears about this conversation. Looking forward to seeing it.
What I think is significant about Marten's advice is that he has observed Faye and Bubbles from the outside and without such a strong emotional stake. He can see how intimate they are with each other and how much they have become vulnerable to the other. He can see what, perhaps, they cannot because the 'trees' are crowding too close for them to realise the nature of the forest.
I'm so glad it's only Tuesday
At some point, Marten became Faye's cool big brother.
Bro-zoned! There's worse fates.
Good martin
You do realise that while Faye has been gone, Bubbles has come to the conclusion that Faye left because she was disgusted in the whole thing and now Bubbles will flee, her heart broken, and there'll be this whole thing about how each believes that the other isn't interested and there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth before it's over, right?
Don't give him ideas damn it!
Yeah, Marten! Yeah Faye!
"BUBBLES, CAN I SET YOU TO VIBRATE"
Emoji Faye -_< in panel 1
Some times Marten is right, the other times? Well you get what is left, of course.
This reminds me so much of me and my best friend; we've been lovers before, and now we just have the closest friendship imaginable. I help her when she's being an idiot, and she helps me when I am. I think this is what we love about QC; that we all can relate to it in some way. (This, and the robots/butts/robutts of course)
I will admit. Robutts are pretty fantastic. All praise be to butt of Melon.
Why do I get the feeling that if someone in this comic ever gets into a vanilla-type hetero relationship, it will be because they lost a bet?
Marigold/Dale lost a bet?
If i had a super power it would be called 'Going for it!'
Pintsize has a similar piece of advice.
"Fucking? Go for it!"
Mature Marten. I like it
GO GET THAT BUBBLES BOOTY!
...yes.... yes! Yes! YES! YAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Faye is cuter without her glasses.
Careful. She doesn't like it when people tell her that.
That will totally end in a cliff hanger at the end of this week and then cereals.
I am actually crying a little bit over how much I love these kids and how incredibly wonderful their friendship is. I'm so dang proud of how far they've both come. :')
Not to harsh everyone's mellow, but I worry about Bubbles. From her point of view, Faye was relaxed, and then after a touching (no pun intended) moment, Faye up and runs away. Depending on how she perceives her own and Faye's reactions, Bubbles might be feeling hurt and abandoned....or not.
I'm imagining Bubbles just going back to tweaking Punch Bot's arm
So glad this is Marten and Faye now. There doesn't need to be sexual tension; Marten's happy and fulfilled with Clare, and Faye's in a completely different avenue in life, but they're still best friends. I miss having these friendships IRL.
You're being influenced by being in Canada eh.
and Marten says what we're all thinking
Sometimes the simplest solution is best. DOOOO EEEEET
Yeah I'm supportive as fuck, go get your girl now :)
Yeah buddy! Do iiiiiit!
I love their friendship ^^
Marten you glorious idiot!
I guess Marten’s been too busy reading the comic to appear in it, but still, good advice!
Bubbles comes by, sees them hugging, and without a word, moves to Georgia
Bubbles goes to live with Faye's mom.

Everyone needs a Marten in their lives. Well, has-his-shit-together-Marten. The passively-letting-life-happen-to-him-Marten's mileage may vary.
Yes, go now....run to her giant, hydraulically powered arms
They are such good friends ^_^
