Ok... now i want to know what code 1 and 2 are.... warnings from station that it is the End Times? coffee bean die-offs around the world? :D
Codes 1 and 2 have to do with Pintsize. Codes 4-infinity are also about Pintsize.
Code 4 is The Spider Zone.
I fucking love Dora. She is the shit-fixer, cares about everyone around her, and she'll make you tea while she helps.
Unless it's her own personal life lol
I really love seeing Dora and Bubbles in the same frame, because I'm so used to having Dora be the tallest in any panel she's in. And then Bubs comes in and makes Dora look tiny. It really gives me a sense of scale!
At the same time, it does show how tall Dora is. That anime-cockatoo hair of hers comes all the way up to Bubbles' chin!
Everything better end up okay Jeph! We demand our wish fullfillment!!!
I hope everything ends up ok
bubbles has FRIENDS
Bubbles is incredibly expressive in this one.....
That's deliberate. I think Jeph is softening us up for her "I know now why it is you cry but that is something that I cannot do" moment but in a good way.
I assumed she called Tai. I hope she called Tai. Tai's freakin adorablesauce and I love her! Also ... OMG it's finally happening!!!
My bet is on Tai.
She'll say: "Yes please and send me a blow-by-blow account so I can put it in a shipper-fic!"
Two days to wait it will be torture !
Huh I just assumed she called Faye.
I think the general assumption for a plan like this would be that she wouldn't reliably pick up. If I had to guess, Dora called Tai and Tai will contact Marten, who may or may not be in on the code system. Probably not.
I feel relief, and yet, now that I know tomorrow's comic, I can't stop wondering what the comic for the day AFTER tomorrow will be.
I'm wondering if we're going to have some very elaborate work done to tell the story going forwards.
We are the comic and the comic is us. ... jesus christ, first Steven Universe, now THIS!
Called it yesterday. I feel ever so much better.
So, we're going to have to wait until next week to see who Dora was 'phoning? Drat. Okay, here's a prediction: This is a 'back-step' to events that occurred simultaneously to Faye talking to Marten. We won't catch up to Faye and 'now' until some point next week.
Seems likely Tai is on a very short list of people Dora would call babe? I really like that Bubbles is doing the ‘walk it off’ thing too, instead of keeping busy at the workshop.
Code 1 is for raccoon emergencies
Ever spend a dollar so that you can not be anxious and get some sleep?
Next strip: Hanelore teleports in carrying a bag of rare tea from her travels.
Yak milk tea
Claire, Dora, Marten, May, Momo. Is there anyone other than Faye who didn't see the signs?
Maybe the neckbearded Linux anthroPC.
Ha, operational code, I love it. Now I want to know what code 1 and 2 mean; also, do they go past 3? If so, how many are there?
There are in fact 17 codes, each one more ludicrous than the one before.
OMG now we need to wait two days before seeing what happens next T__T
Dora is so goddamn genre-savvy now. Good for her.
Alert but not Alarmed people!
I half expected to see her in the shop with her armor back on.
SHe couldn't! That would take a Faye with a pry bar!
I love this look for Dora. In fact, I really feel like this comic broadly leveled up in the expressive character category over the last 2-3 months... And I've been reading since ~300
Dora looks great! I love her hair.
THANK YOU DORA AND MARTEN
If anyone knows the depths which Faye can stick her own foot in her mouth, it's Dora.
I was pretty sure today's scene would involve tea at Dora's.
love how the wlw friends had their gaydar blaring max volume and were ready to swoop in and guide the green ones to their ultimate sapphic destiny (Mandy and Evie definitely wanted to)
I'm in love with your turn of phrases in this post. :)
I really love how Bubbles gradually has become softer in appearance, and also increasingly vulnerable, through the years.
omfg don't say through the years.....i still can't believe I've been reading this for 7 years now and i'm far from being a vet reader.
AAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH JEPH!! Though if I am assuming right, Dora calles Tai, which I am glad to see this couple again. Maybe Tai is ripped now... hmm....
I second that "WHEW"
MOAR PLEASE
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee*breathes*Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Huh? What? How did you lose the "Sq" in front?
And then the shippers sued Jeph for pain and suffering caused by emotional whiplash.
Whiplash? He ripped my ship out from under me, and though I was holding on so tight and pulling back so hard, he also ripped my arms from their sockets. I'm typing this with my nose. So, I suppose I'm not really suffering all that much.
Aarrgh, well it's better than it could have been. My Fayebles ship is a little rudderless RN.
At least now I can make it through the next two QC-less days more or less in one piece.
We no longer have to panic! (Probably)
somehow I parsed Bubbles's chair as a pink backpack in Panel 5
And NOW cue one month of cereal eating...
I'm going to be wondering ALL TCAF about what's gonna happen!!!
TCAF? Through Cylindrical Afternoon Feels?
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa CODE 3
This is my Faybles. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
I just realized how much i LOVE that Bubbles's emotions can screw with a world class military AI construct to the point she is basically not thinking straight. It's like ooops said DARPA... we kind of went too far on this AI thing... Now they fall in love and get PTSD... No we can't take that out, it's a crucial part of them being sentient you pedestrian fucks... If you want cognition beyond computation this is what happens... Is there a novel that explores this? Sentient Terminators ruled by sex and love? Imagine if all the Drones served the Borg Queen because they literally LOVED her. Everything else just falls into place after that... It's like the Infinite Improbability Drive. Give it a cup of really Strong Tea.. and... Turn it on...
Thank you Jeph. It’s your story and your choice how it goes always. But thank you.
OMG BUBBLES WITH A PONYTAIL HOW DORBS
Just when I thought CoD had everything, I now learn it has giant neon letters! Why are they out of frame?
They bought a stand-up blackboard for putting outside on nice days, but Cosette wrote on it with neon puff paint, which they then couldn't wash off, so it's in the basement gathering cobwebs.
Much better thank you
phew. Good. I wonder what the tea will bring.
"WOOOOOO! Bubbles! I am your spiriiit guuuiiide!" "No, you're not. You're Melon."
Love it!
I've been having difficulty explaining my recent emotional turmoil to my friends.
Dora is now the second fastest human in QC. Second only to Hannelore. No human can move faster than Hanners.
With great power...
The look on Bubbles's face when Dora zips around XD
I swear my heart started racing when the email notification came up, but friends have seen it coming a zillion miles away, and I really did sigh in relief
Hard to imagine what codes 1 & 2 are, what could be more important!
Code 1 is a health inspector who actually WANTS to do their job. Code 2 involves wild animals in the HVAC... again.
Code 1 probably involves Pintsize or Melon involved in some sort of shenanigans. Code 2: people who use Starbucks slang when ordering.
*kssshk* friends reporting for duty *kssshk*
EVERYBODY EXHALE.
Goddamnit you asshole!! Making us think shit was going south. *grumps*
And Jeph changed the art style again. XS
I'm not surprised that they have a code for this. I am surprised that it's only code 3. I mean, they started dating a long time before Faye and Bubbles met. I would have thought they would have a lot more codes.
Maybe Code 3 is "friends realise they're into each other" and she mentioned Bubbles to specify which potential pairing she was talking about?
I for one would like to see this metaphorical wall with neon paint
Dora's been working on her teleportation!
Eh, it's just her usual Bene Gesserit tricks. The Weirding Way, all that stuff.
<3 Bubbles
You made Dora cuter!
He really did.
