White underwear while on a period is just a hell no.
Unless they are specifically THE period panties
Both forms of ice cream are acceptable.
Here’s a conundrum: if Bubbles and Faye want to make their relationship permanent and legal, can they marry? We have legal precedents for woman marrying woman. But human marrying AI? Would this be solemnized by a judge, or could clergy do it. Of what stripe? Unitarians? The Let me know when you figure this out.
is it wrong that I find Bubbles in that dress to be unbelievably hot??
Mint chocolate chip is never a mistake!
D'awwwwww!
I'm actually tearing up. I love them ;___; but also really nice perspective work in that Faye panel look at you
Given the short lifetime of thEir relationship, I no longer have the slightest hint of a doubt that Marten/Faye would have been a /horrible/ relationship. Marten's mom was right. Faye was meant for Bubz, and vice-versa. Just how it is.
That final panel turned me into a sobbing, wet mess. Just saying. Thank you, Jeph. Also, as a transgender person, thank you for handling Claire's story so, so well, from so many angles. Yes, Faye knows that Bubs not telling her was the right thing to do, and Bubbles' explanation hits the nail on the head.
Panel four: Wholesome.
A great start to any day! Thanks, Jeph!
[ Everyone liked that. ]
This makes me glad I support you.
oh my goodness this made my whole week
In retrospect (emphasis on that, you're always smarter then) Bubs could have asked Claire whether Faye knows and whether she can tell her as well. Bubs could have also assumed that Faye knew, but didn't want to discuss it since Faye knew Claire for longer, so it was a pre-existing secret yadda yadda. And of course, Bubs could have asked Claire about sharing with Faye, and Claire asked her not to. There's a million details and other factors we simply can't see as readers of the comic. The important thing is, I'm glad there was no fight over a minor secret (someone else's even) and the two can talk about it.
I think Bubbles is still figuring emotions and relationship etiquette out
*cry* It's so... beautifulllll ;o;
Of course Bubbles is the kind of person who knows how to keep secrets, only disclosing them when appropriate. It's core to who she was and still remains true.
The gender neutral term is "menstrual hygiene products." C'mon Jeph.
Hey, now, no need to be rude about it, just 'cause someone didn't know something that you knew.
The extra-cute angle of Faye in the third panel is how Bubbles see her all the time!
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3
I love how Bubbles' clothing has progressed from military armor to some sort of robo-athleisure wear to a 1950s matronly dress (sorry I don't know fashion there's probably a word for it). It suits her well.
ok, just WOW! panel 4 is genius, the downward view fits so well. followed by the best panel, number 5, the slightly upward view and the way they wrapped together. WOW WOW 🤩
This one made me audibly "aaw"
My significant number of shopping trips for such items has given me great experience with the different shades of "out" for them: "I'm out" - The last one is in the purse. "I'm really out" - The last one is in use. "I'm f-ing OUT!" - The last one needs replacing.
This is cavity-inducing adorable, and yes, love the Bubbles POV!!! One small thing: calling it menstrual hygiene instead of feminine hygiene is much more inclusive!
Faye is definitely the short spoon
Surely it's called spooning because spoons are typically the same size?
Excellent 4th panel, Jeph. You really feel the love and connection between them. And I agree with James Redekop regarding the third panel - very nice pov from Bubs.
Mint Chocolate Chip is an improvement in every way.
Nice Bubbles-POV in the third panel.
Speaking of third panel, is that Pintsize's robo-penis behind Faye's shoulder?
oops im crying
in my house, mint chocolate chip isn't a mistake
I've lost more girlfriends that way...
Well I’m officially dead. I have ceased to exist
You are an ex-Patron?
Where's Faye's scar?
Lower than that shirt
100/10 adorable
Goddamit....now I need to find my insulin....too damn sweet...
One of the greatest things about Jeph's writing (and Jeph I hope you read this) is the characters reflect the full range of humanity, the beauty and maturity and kindness as well as the dumb and the clumsy and clueless. Jeph, your work reminds this battered old depressive that there's lovely people in this world. Thanks for that.
Between this and the Great British Bake Off my faith in humanity has maintained a pulse over the last three years and may last one more.
Aww, that’s cute. A lesser comic would have made Faye jealous of Claire, but this scene made it about her security in her relationship with Bubbles.
Jeph, I would never question your artistic choices but... you gave Faye white undies.
Dawww
Hey Jeph, it would be super rad if, especially in a strip about trans issues, you edited the text to say menstrual hygiene products instead of feminine, since... obv not all women menstruate and not all men don't. Many thanks, much love, high five. <3 <3
+1 for this ❤️
Why are these two so wholesome?! It’s wonderful and I love it.
Bubbles in a dress! And PEOPLE USING THEIR WORDS!
In tomorrow's strip, Yay shows up with a brand new fighter jet chassis for May.
The absolutely cutest couple around. Washes the taste of the fanfic cartoon out of my mouth. Almost.
Just imagine Bubbles saying "Dattebayo!" in the last panel and it will all come back in its full glory.
They really need to get those lights checked tho
White undies while on the rag? That's just as brave as this conversation
Or just a no fucks and has oxyclean?
Someone link me to the issue where Faye realized it!!!!!!
It was a gradual thing, of course. Jeph started flagging it in the sequence #3463 to #3674. But the last tetris piece didn't drop for Faye until the sequence starting with #3731. Jeph does the best 'falling in love' scenes ever. -> Faye/Bubbles, Martyn/Claire. and Dora/Tai's engagement just for starters. Now, can someone help me? When did Claire confide to Bubbles about being trans? I've spent days searching with no luck. No doubt I've passed over it in my search.
This comic page is sweeter than that rocky road
ah christ mature expression of complicated feelings followed by adorable love speak i CAN'T HANDLE IT
I love this comic so much.
There it is
Love how there's no fake conflict in this comic tbh
