Pretty sophisticated readership, here, when no one bothers to even mention the Gentileschi (1593 - 1656) reference. First female artist admitted into the Accademia di Arte del Disegno in Florence. That's reachin' back Jeph!
Faye beheading Pintsize gave it away.
"Hip keeps popping out of its socket." I can't tell you how many times I've heard my kiddo say that (EDS mom here). :'(
I can just see Faye rhetorically asking 'how did you fuck up this socket?" and getting an unexpected answer
I just like that Faye's artist of choice is directly linked to beheading.
When I was a teenager, hearing "Pants off, on the table" might have gotten me to run in and check out what was going on, too. :)
Interns don't learn a whole lot from being told to piss off.
Not entirely true. As someone mentioned above, if Sam indeed has customers waiting, she does need to tend to them first, even if fixing a dislocated hip is more interesting. But yes, Faye should be using this as a teaching moment, and explaining that to Sam, instead of just telling her to get back to work.
I reeeally hope this storyline ends with Faye realizing that Sam learned her workplace manners from watching Faye.
I really hope there's no residue in that hip socket.
Don't you want to see the look on Faye's face when she realizes what's on her hands? Or the look on Bubbles' as she tries to not-explain it to Sam?
Not that this is the appropriate place to say this, but I feel like if Sam is starting to operate a legit business then Faye should probably start charging her a portion of the rent.
She already is charging her a quarter of what she makes.
Faye-tle complications?
May is helping
SICK BURNS
What might Faye come across when she examines the hip socket?
What came across the hip socket 😋
I love how Faye doesn't greet May with "what's up" or just "hi, May" - but just <i>knows</i> that something is wrong with her body.
Well, with what Faye's body language implies about her tone of voice in the first panel, I figure that's a pretty good clue.
Faye may not have meant to, and Sam may not realize it, but calling her "Gentileschi" is actually quite a compliment.
unless it was a reference to Gentileschi's unfortunate encounter with thumbscrews
I have a feeling that Faye would behead pintsize by hitting his head like a golf ball with a sledgehammer.
I was thinking croquet mallet, but yeah.
Oh, renaissance woman artist. A rather high note slam. As an art student, Faye would know about her.
I was an art (History) student and I couldn't place her, so... Of course for me it was 35+ years ago
From the look on Sam's face, she did get the message that Faye is not happy. Hopefully she'll think about recent events and have a heart to heart with Faye and Bubbles. And what's a "Gentileschii" anyway.
Apparently, it's what you call a girl in the same circumstance as you would call a guy "Picasso" or "Michelangelo".

Well, dammit. I studied Art History at school, I know that Judith & Holofernes painting *very* well, and I still couldn't think of who she was. :(
I waaaaaaaaant to see that painting...
OMG YES!!!!! I want to see that as at least a bonus comic!!!!!! Pretty please!!!!
Yeesh. Being hostile to the kid won't accomplish anything if you don't tell her what she's doing wrong. Something tells me Faye's not used to dealing with subordinates in general. Let alone kids. Hopefully she'll go to Dora for advice before this gets too out of hand. Dora has lots of experience being in charge and I'm sure she'd entirely eager to help Faye out as a newbie.
I think the problem is that Faye doesn't think she has a valid reason to be upset. She's insecure about how her business is doing, knows full well Sam's busy with her own, apparently more successful business (and she keeps android foot traffic moving through her shop), and so instead of saying to her, "Hey Sam, I appreciate you're busy with productive work, but maybe don't try to boss the boss around, k?", she just kind of mopes and acts like a bitch.
Don't let ANYONE be such a bitch to you. Take shit from no one.
Clearly, Buck lacks parents, older siblings, and Robotic Overlords.
One day we will need to see that masterpiece Sam would paint
That feels like a Patreon bonus, doesn't it?
May's not wrong tho.
