Is this the most "liked" comic of the series? I'm new to Patreon...
Indeed it is. Also, I can't believe they've been dating for a year.
Not enough Etta James in these comments. Also, YAAAAAAAAAAAY!^^^^ <a href="https://youtu.be/S-cbOl96RFM" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/S-cbOl96RFM</a>
I'll need this in poster format, thanks!
Jeph I could kiss you right now. Thank you so much for this moment.
*screams of joy*
Side observation: I know Jeph likes to tease his audience (I'm not going to use "troll", because that was never a nice term and at this point it means anything from "telling a joke once" to "actively organising for an extremist group"), but good goddamn, some comments here seem to imply he actually hates us and will stop at nothing to hurt us? I mean, even if he hasn't said repeatedly that he generally likes his fans, and even if the story so far hadn't been characteristically positive and respectful toward the demographics it portrays, having a sudden horrible thing happen to the new lovebirds wouldn't be terribly good storytelling!
And... end comic.
elsewhere, Claire's squee has shattered every glass in the apartment.
I never read the early Patreon strips but I had to do it for the past two days. Bubbles is the best. Beautiful, smart, and she can crush your enemies.
This has gotta be #1 in all time liked posts on Jeph's Patreon?
I wonder why?
Basically everything happens in panel 3 with Faye knuckling a tear and looking briefly like a little girl angry at being abandoned. Bubbles would hesitate forever for her own sake, but nothing would keep her from going to Faye's aid.
Been having a rough past couple of days. This arc has definitely been one of a few bright points throughout them. Thanks as always for the great story-telling, Jeph!
IF you make this a dream, Jeph Jacques, I'll I'll. I'll be sad :( I'm not one to threaten violence... but I think about it!
NOW KI—-oh. Yay!
I've been riding on the high from this page all day!
Is their an AI+human friendly burning man like celebration? These two would own it!
*fireworks*
Yaaayyy!!
YAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!! so bleepity-bleepity CUTE!
I keep coming back to this, all throughout the day, just to make sure it's still here and it wasn't my meds made me imagine it.
Hooray!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
That wasn't a Steven Universe reference was it?
FREAKING FINALLY! THE SHIP IS IN!!!
I, like everyone else, worry that these two characters will now disappear into domestic bliss, as Marten and Claire did. Watching Dora and Tai in this arc, though -- "Hey babe, code 3" -- makes me think that maybe we haven't lost Iron Man and Black Widow, maybe we have got the Avengers. If Jeph can write them acting as a team, as he has with Dora and Tai, we have got good times coming.
it really kinda makes you think about a possible end game for QC. i mean shit, it's been 15 years and as much as we'd all love for it to go on forever it's eventually going to have to end.
And then Steve woke up. "Time for some cereal to get the day started."
OMG IT IS HAPPENING!!!! THIS BETTER NOT BE A DREAM SEQUENCE, Jeph! THIS BETTER NOT BE A DREAM SEQUENCEE!!!!
I'm going to lose my mind if it is
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! this is great.
3745: Bobby Ewing wakes up, surrounded by family...
Okay, now I gotta see Claire react to this :D
I keep reading it and I keep tearing up. Bravo, Jeph!
WOOOO

MAXIMUM SQUEEEEE ACHIEVED
"I am not a gun." <a href="https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/51c46e17-1d87-4aff-a88f-ffc3c1ab816b" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/51c46e17-1d87-4aff-a88f-ffc3c1ab816b</a>
So what's your swelling music for this scene? Mine is Dream Academy's cover of "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want".
My head keeps going back to Sarah McLachlan's cover of "Song for a Winter's Night". <a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UV4F2yfEt9o" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UV4F2yfEt9o</a>
Bubbles snaps out of her tea induced fantasy when Faye stumbles in drunk. - the darkest timeline
That's horrible and I can totally see it happening and now I kinda wish you stub your toe, like, hard.
Jeph, for the love of eggs, *please* give us some Faye and Bubbles merch.
Show of hands: who else is imagining Faye and Bubbles snuggling on the couch, watching Spike Jonze's "her" and making out?
Actually, now that I look at it again, I think that if Bubbles just slouched a little, and if Faye hyperextended one ankle, they could do this. That picture makes this EVEN MORE ADORABLE.
Gonna get all up in them face meats.
I literally laughed out loud.
like #400 :D let's see how many this gets :D
Well, it's about bloody time! *applause*
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
I can't stop coming back to this comic. It just makes me happy!
That actually resolved a LOT faster than I was expecting it to.
Sometimes, you just gotta give the people what they want. This seems like one of those times.
Next panel: Jeph barging in on Jimbo shouting, "You again?!" Alternative next panel: Faye saying, "That felt... weird."
There's a bright flash of light and a very obviously human/synthetic hybrid girl appears. "Greetings from the future great-great-great-great grandmother and great-great-great-great grandmother!"
JKLSJKLDFAFJKL
Tears. Full of happy tears over here. Great build and great resolution. Loved that ride.
No more abandonment for Faye.
This is dream sequence. Anyone wanna give me odds?
So as a startup they haven't reached that valley of despair moment... Uh oh...
Well, shit. I didn't think I was a shipper, but I had no idea just how much I wanted that to happen until it did.
Is Bubs crouching down in the last frame? :-)
Unexpected benefit of having a spine made of accordioning Buckystruts.
Is there a metal version of Theme From Mahogany (Do You Know Where You're Going To)?
I'm not crying, you're crying.
Admit it. We’re all crying.
Finally!
Yaaaaaayyyyyyyy 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸😍
Winner winner chicken dinner!
w00t!!!
Just YAY!!!
At LAST!
<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3
so satisfying!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
...aand the pink anime glow is back! Also: SQUEEEE!!
Because of that glow I now have opening music theme of Magical Love Gentleman stuck in my head.
This makes me ridiculously happy!!!! :-D
I LITERALLY JUST SCREAMED OUT LOUD. AAAAAAUUUUGH! FINALLY!
Just perfect.
I checked this out on my phone app tonight, which displays the whole comics all at once (I have to zoom in to read the individual panels), so I caught the last panel before I could read anything. I GASPED. :)
DAMNIT JEPH, IT'S NOT FRIDAY!
Tomorrow will be Roko watching Clinton eating toast in total silence.
Thank you, Jeph.
Aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeee
That's almost exactly the sound I made and all…
sooooooo good. I need that last panel as my new phone lock screen ive been waiting for this for forever
JEPH, YOU OWE ME MONEY FOR SURGERY, MY OVARIES JUST EXPLODED!!!!!1111
OMFGFHHDJFJGJGGGHDJDHBFNGLGH MY HEART THIS BETTER BE REAL AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHJJHHHHFHJGJGJFJURTJKGLFLGLH
EEEEEEEeeeEEEEeEEEEE!!!~ *dancing in circles*
This strip is actually the Infinity Stone of Squeeing. It's a very noisy Infinity Stone.
Well this is sure as hell the best monthly dollar I ever spent
*wipes tear out of eye*
I'm so glad Faye got to make out with a robot, and I'm so much more glad that it was her beefy crush and not Pinsize
I wonder how people would react if it turns out "Bubbles" was just a giant mech controlled by Pintsize...
Finally! An actual tear came to my eye on the last panel. But if this is hitting us on a Thursday then Steve is really going to enjoy his cereal on Friday.
Shouldn't Faye come up to around rib height on Bubbles?
Which is why the last panel only shows their top halves: Bubbles's frog stance is visually a romance-killer.
Wooooohooo!! Also, Faye is on some serious tiptoes in the last panel.
Yaaaaaaay!!!
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE XD XD XD
FRIGGIN FINALLY!!!!!!!butts!!!!!!
I'm finally able to process the other panels and now I've noticed Faye was crying cuz she was so scared and now I'M crying
I managed not to cry when I read the comic, but I just read your comment and it finally got me T_T
Super excited to see where this goes and Pintsize is about to be the recipient of the most glorious of death stares and/or beatings into oblivion.
OH SNAP
Weeeeeeee! ❤️
Arbor Day banner on standby, sir.
I suspect that Faye is going to be surprised at how unconditionally supportive Marten will be. I mean, I'm pretty sure she'll offer to move out 'if this weirds you out' or something similar and he'll have to sit her down and tell her directly that he has no problem with her living with her girlfriend in the apartment the rent for which *they both partly pay*.
I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW OH MY GOD
YUS
Toot-toot! Anchors aweigh, me harties! Anchors AWWWAAAIIIGHHH! Seriously, this has been a moment long coming. Now, I'm now expecting several weeks of uncomfortable "So, this is a thing that happened, so what happens next?" between our new couple. Neither of them are entirely secure enough in their self-esteem NOT to be immediately angsting over the whole thing!
<3
AaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I'm making very manly squeeeeeeee-sounds right now. And no, I don't know why all the neighborhood dogs just started barking.
And I still can get my girl friend to read this. You have to be kidding me. This stuff is GREAT!
*glass-shatteringly high-pitched sounds and assorted gibbering*
I'm so happy I'm crying a little.
*hypersonic squee*
Also not pictured: Tia (who secretly followed them back to the shop) an her head exploding when they kissed
I think it's hilarious that May is the first one to actually predict this, even if it was potentially a joke: <a href="http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3075" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3075</a>
Guess who will now give Bubbles some "technical advice", even if completely unasked for?
*rawr*
*heart explodey* Faybles ♥️♥️♥️
Man. dusty in here.
Well, I guess it's time for a new phone screen background. Thank you!
SOOOOO MANY LIKES, I AM EXPLODING
*possum screaming*
Their kissy heads even make a heart!!!
*Melts even more*
GOOD. NOW PEOPLE WILL STOP SAYING "stop it you guys its not gonna happen"
EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG I am so happy right now!
I see Hannelore squeeing out in the middle of nowhere and Winslow rushing out to ask her what happened since it's not her turn to clean the yak latrine. The message board is going to light up tomorrow.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! :D
I JUST SCREAMED AND SCARED MY COWORKER. GLAD WE WERE IN THE BATHROOM!!!! AAAAAQQJHHHHHHHH
What was playing on the radio when I opened the patreon email: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGj77BrEgj4" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGj77BrEgj4</a>
And then they all boned
Glad they decided to talk right away. Now they can get back to fixing Punchbot's arm. ....Well, maybe tomorrow.
I actually and visualising a scene of them working and continually 'accidentally' brushing against each other whilst giggling. When Sam turns up to do her spray session, she thinks the two of them are being weird.
Jeph, I hope you'll put that last panel on all the merch and maybe make it a desktop wallpaper, say in the size of 1920x1080.
Do you realize this story arc has been building for over 4 years since #3003? Jeph - chapeau!
He even presaged the back rub in #3004. Now I wonder about those tickley feet!

Yes!!!
SQQQUUUUUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE *SHIPPING FEELS PASS OUT FROM HAPPY FAN BOYING*
Excellent
yay yay yay yay yay
fist pump dot gif
Is the final panel a dream sequence?
Someone could became a cereal killer if Jeph delayed this kiss. Now let’s wait for the robot-human porn that is obviously coming next
That will be the interlude.
Jeph, you slimy double-dog bastard. I was seriously expecting cereal.
And I'm friggin' lovin' this. The boat floats, the ship flips, It's not just Bubbles, or just Faye, though I really want each of them to find some real peace and happiness. Nor is it just Faybles, and all those ships. I want my heart to be puree'd through a VitaMix, my feels to become squeels, my toes to dance the Happy Dance And, dammit Jeph, you done real good. No matter where we fans go, you keep showing us where QC lives. No pressure, right?
This is why i love this comic. Its not afraid to make its OTP'S happen!
I read 'Talk' and was scared to get another 'The Talk'. Then I read the comic and the ship part of my brain exploded. Thank you Jeph for letting them find their love <3
I predict that I will be in such a good mood tomorrow that everyone will think I got laid.
Nickname on point!
Don't fall for it! It's a dream!
ITSATRAP....
I'm not crying. You're crying.

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH YES! This made me way too happy. :-D
I hope tomorrow’s comic is Winslow tentatively brushing a yak, while Steve is having cereal.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
commenty comment so you know how much happy you have given us!
Good talk? THE BEST TALK.
*Ahem*. D'awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww................
FAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYBBBBBBLLLLLESSSSSSSSS!!!!
FINALLY
Aaaaand it's Tai's fanfic....
Up less than 20 minutes and already it's got 1,331,692 comments. No wonder the tubes are so bleedin' slow tonight.
Dammit! Steve could be eating cereal RIGHT NOW, and we're MISSING IT!
AKJGDASHADKHJAKDHJKHAKDH
[gasp] Such language!
And it's not Friday. Jeph's slippin.
Nah, he's just tired of being so predictable. Kisses on non-Fridays started with Tai and Dora, if not earlier. Now, "Steve and cereal" is timeless.
Honestly, I thought we were going to have hunker down for a couple months at least of the two of them dancing around their feelings. Instead we get smooching. I’m happy.
Just kiss alre- oh, neat.
I cannot possibly squee enough to do this justice.
*extremely queer fist pump*
I FIST PUMPED!
Waaaaaaait what is going on here
I SWEAR JEPH, IF YOU ARE TROLLING US, I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN IN CANADA
We are actually just seeing Tai's fanfic. "Out of her armor, Bubbles had a body that could stop a truck.. figuratively speaking"
Don't give Jeph any ideas!
Yay! This makes me so happy!
Ah fuck, I love this
About time!
Eeeeeeeee!! Yay!
I keep thinking of Data describing what he's thinking about when he does the kissing in "In Theory"
Yay!
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
I am a grown ass adult who is unashamed to have skipped to the last panel to see what the "finally" comment was about. YES. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. #FayblesForever
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*wheeze*AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
That was lovely, thank you.
Get ALL up into those face meats
I boat them so much!
They're on a boat (They're on a boat) They're on a boat (They're on a boat) Take a good hard look at the motherfucking boat (boat, yeah)
So, there's still one day left in the week. What next?
Jeph introduces some sort of conflict to act as a cliffhanger til next week
Whoooo!
I bet their will be so much fan girling all around
Tomorrow's comic? When Steve wakes up, head in his cereal, the dream bubble of Bubbles and Faye kissing pops... "Wow, what a weird dream..." And we realize none of this was real.
YESSSSSSSSS!
For all the joy Jeph has brought into my life, I upped my payment. This is so worth it!
I predict an immediate interruption....by Melon....with another butt related mishap!! Any takers? I bet.....$1 DOLLAR!!!
No, Melon and Roko; Roko is blushing and Melon is explaining: "See? Meatsacks and people CAN get it on! So, why are you hesitating to ask the guy out?"
aaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA my sails never ship! Yayyyyy for SS Fables!!!!! (I will flip over 15 tables if this turns out to be a dream sequence or something)
OH MY HEART
I have been waiting on the edge of my seat for this comic tonight and this is what I get? Yassss, totes worth the wait
Way to balance on those tippy-toes
Tomorrow's update, we will learn that she's actually standing on Pintsize
I SEE SAILS
I am trying not to scream in the office and doing a garbage job of it
OH MY GOD THOSE POOR NON-PATRONS WHO HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER DAY FOR THIS
When this uploads tomorrow night, he should leave out the last frame. Nah, that's just too mean.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Bubbles processor desperately tries to come up with good ways of dealing with this situation. She has ten different subroutines for headbutting, but none about kissing
- Hello, May? I have suddenly found myself in a very unusual predicament and I may need some of your technical expertise. - OH FUCK YES!!! - ...this clearly was a mistake.
:D :D :D :D
This warm fuzzy feeling will keep me floating slightly above ground for at least a day now. Also, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!
And then the fucked...hard!
It's the first robot-human romance of the serie. I really wonder how that will go.
THEY DID THE THING WITH THEIR FACE MEATS
And our hearts!
My wife and I are sitting on the couch shrieking together
AND THE SHIP HAS COME YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS
Yes finally
I guess Tai can start counting her seamen now.
I never thought I'd see the day. This is great.
YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I screamed and woke everyone up.
<3
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Yes!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*gasp*AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA *dies from squee overload*
Finally!!!!!
YAY¡!!!! God bless you sir for ending our torment
(cont from above) ... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAHHHHH
FINALLY
YES. FINALLY, YES.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
