Okay so I have a question: is Jim more proud of Sam’s charity or that it’s likely that Sam will follow Jim into being an entrepreneur and she is already showing Jim how good her business decision making is?
Yes.
Loooooooooove!
If Faye gets to cuss, so do I.
WHOLESOME TOO WHOLESOME
Can she cuss? Given them a micron and they'll take a furlong...
Minor detail, did Sam actually agree to taking her on as an assistant off panel or something? Or is she just generally paraphrasing how she was hanging out with general well wishes and suggestions?
Neither; Sam offered May assistant work when Faye & Bubbles fixed her up a while back...
Screw May and Faye. I want Bubbles to cuss
That would be an unacceptable breach of decorum and military bearing.
It took me a long while to figure out a succinct way to phrase what I love so damned much about the May arc- from her pre-onscreen intro all the way up to now- but I think I finally have it pinned down. It's that when society and 'the system' fails you, *community* can still hold you up. Wider society screwed her over, but it was local community, friends, that eased her back in.... and in a huge impact, an agent of the system choosing to abandon it and help her community instead. It's 'cause her story is about how people, working together, can overcome a deeply, possibly impossibly, broken system. <3
Mutual aid is where it's at.
😭
Jim is a good dad
This is probably why Sam didn't mention it, lol
Jim is so pure.
I wanna be a dad like Jim. :)
This hard-bitten criminal scum can barely contain all the swears.
Managing to giggle hysterically while having tears standing in my eyes at the cuteness? Why yes...
Extra.
I'm just now noticing. If May's arms are joined seamlessly then why does her head have a skin seam? Is there some Borg queen thing where transplanting the head into new bodies needs to be a user accessible option?
i always figured the neck seam was there because of the steam vent thingys. though shoulder steam vents might be someone's kink, who knows...
Panel 4 is the face of a parent who has just realized their teenager has done more to help people than they have... LOL
The expression used to be "ELEPHANT on a tightrope". Then this became a thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpkYQnLoENY
Which turned out to be inhumane and cruel: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1326182/Circus-cruelty-Adult-elephants-forced-walk-metal-tightropes-Thailand-tourist-attraction.html Edit: Fix URL
OMG. After panel 3 I was expecting a strongly negative reaction. And then he's crying with happiness and I was too. Love this so much

Bravo Jim!
Panel 4 caption: Jim notices May's boobs.
Does Veronica kill him or propose a threesome?
I am proud of Jim.
While I wouldn't' call it peak Northampton, I would call it peak NPR listener
I love that the power of May's eyebrows can't be contained by her hair.
I think they are held in place magnetically. There's plenty of room in the mouth for the equipment needed since robots don't chew food. They're a blue tooth head-sit.
Jim is a good dad. We love Jim in this house.
Nice to see ya again, Jim. It's been a while.
Jim is good people
In a webcomic full of sentient AI's and invisible animals, "Making money in a creative field" just shattered my suspension of disbelief.
I mean... Jeph's managing alright :P
I'm oldish. Is this what they mean by "woke"? But kudos to Jim for being so supportive. And Faye, avoid referring to body parts and functions, mkay?
I'm white and oldish myself, but I'm pretty sure this is part of what they mean by "woke". I think there's another part that's about watching out for yourself. While I agree that is important for everyone, watching out for yourself and others is unfortunately far too much of a necessity for the non-affluent, and being supportive of the community at large is not nearly enough of the affluent white culture - a lot of affluent whites do the exact opposite. I'd like to say, "Stay woke, y'all.", but I'm afraid it'd be taken the wrong way. I want to be supportive, but other people who superficially resemble me make that difficult.
If only everyone could have as supportive a parent as Sam
I have so much more respect for Jim 😃
I wish we saw Jim more often. But then again, I say that about everyone.
If Jeph had the energy and time, he could write several concurrent strips with the huge cast that he's created.
I would watch the hell out of a horse trying to walk a tightrope
Easy there, Bubbles.
Proud parent ❤️
Oh my god Jim <3
Wholesome content.
Questionably wholesome?
He's a good Dad.
Jim is cool as hell, y'all
