what about dancing, is dancing complicated
Comments (109)
It took me rereading thos because Mr rereading the whole series has caught up to Patreon to realize he's asking because Eliot is much taller than him. I'm an idiot
Yes, dancing is complicated!
omg so CUTE!!!
I could squee a thousand times over Bub's face in that last panel. Also, my 1st husband was over a foot taller than me. He liked to pick me up and sling me over his shoulder when I couldn't keep up with him. Smooching led to neck cramping.
I'm sure Elliot could just do a deep lunge or squat for handy smoochin'. Assuming he hasn't been neglecting Leg Day!
Friends don't let friends skip Leg Day.
Get used to kissing the head. Casual liplock is enough of a logistic challenge to stop being casual.
the look on Bubs in the last panel ...
From experience of having a much smaller g/f - it makes spooning much easier, and when they are sitting in your lap, your faces are pretty much level, You DO have to learn to take tiny little steps instead of great strides when walking though.
I lurk, I do not comment, but this was all the loveliness. My heart, it burst!
Awwwww!
“Asking for a friend. Well, maybe more than a friend”.
That might just be my favorite last-panel of this entire series.
this is the cutest qc ever omfg
I think less of either and more of "asking for a friend". :P
Bubs is da greatest
Pure of heart
Well done Jeph that is the MAXIMUM CUTEST Bubbles has ever been in the fourth panel. Holy shirtballs that little crooked smile is so freaking adorable omg omg omg thank you for this blessing
so adorable!
That face in the 4th panel is so remarkable because of the contrast against the sternly impressive face in the 3rd panel. Genius!
Clinton is pretty pure of heart. and still he's not the cinnamon bun in that particular potential relationship
I think Clinton is curious because of a similar height difference between him and Elliot
sorry, but: no duh, of course! XD
The sheer adorableness of Bubbles's face in the last panel could power several cities.
his pureness of heart made me "awww" too, to be fair ...
When I met my foot-shorter-than-me fiancee, I never once thought about this kind of physical aspect. All I could think about was how cute she was.
Clinton, you absolute dork XD
Speaking of dancing, have we ever seen Faye & Bubbles dance? I mean if there’s ever a Questionable Content the RPG, we’re going to need some /dance moves.
"There will be no dancing". https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3762
Sad that I'm not surprised at Clintons question,..... Sigh. Yes, in his own way he is "pure of heart" he stalked Hannalore w/o recognizing his hero-worship could be seen as stalking, He took no advantage of Brun even though it was presented, he is too much of a nerd to offend anyone on purpose, and now he is trying to feel his way blindly into a relationship. Props Clinton.
Neither stalking a stranger at her place of work, nor “not taking advantage” of a woman who has catastrophically lost her home, her personal property, and her job in a single event, get anyone “props”.
does anyone else want just a dancing compilation, Faye and Bubs, Pintsize, Hannalor just doing some ballet, or Marigold just doing some anime dance?
Marigold trying the Chika dance?
Oh, he's not pure of heart, he just sees an opportunity...
I would in no way describe Clinton as "deft".
I was worried Clinton might be gaining some chill. Glad to see I was wrong.
For me, dancing is always complicated.
Oh please Jeph we all know Clinton can't dance
:3
Can Clinton and Elliot just be boyfriends already?
It took Jeph nearly 3 years from hints of Faybles to their first kiss. He's a master of antici....pation!
This is the cutest comic you have ever written, and I love it. Thank you
True
Knowing roughly how tall Jeph is, I'm now wondering how tall his SO is.
ok, that was very sweet in a way that I didn't know Clinton could be sweet.
I’m now curious about the calibration and inner workings of Bubbles’ Impurity Estimation Matrix.
That big empty room had to fill up with something!
B-but Willow and Clinton are about the same height ::tears well up::
I feel like Claier is squeeeing harder than ever rn out of nowhere and she doesn't even know why.
Hahahha agreed!
That was so sweet
Not having to *try* in order to smoosh your face into boobs would be great!
ohhhhhhh *honey*
I'm 6'1 and I have dated someone who was literally short enough that the top of his head didn't even reach my chest. It's only awkward the first month or two then it just felt normal and natural. Of course, if he wanted to the "big spoon" it was a bit funny but that was it.
No, Bubbles, that was exactly what he wanted to ask, for a VERY specific reason. :3
As one who has never managed to date anyone taller than my nose, I have always been curious about the other side of things. #littlespoonenvy
Are you asking for volunteers?
I can feel that look from panel 3 *burning through the fourth wall*
True fact: when they were making The X-Files, Gillian Anderson would have to stand on a box during her scenes with David Duchovny due to the difference in their heights. Perhaps Clinton could look into a similar solution?
Also true fact: teenage me spent a loooooooot of time thinking about Scully.
As a 6'3" mountain of humanity who has dated two women in the the barely 5 foot range, it is indeed a tricky and often uncomfortable conundrum. Though not, obviously, insurmountable.
Well, yes. I remember a couple of people surmounting Bubbles, even. (And not in the way you and Pintsize are thinking!)
Ooooo they're gonna get together
So much squeee
My dreamship...is....setting sail!!! 💕💕💕😁
OMG Bubbles face!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Somewhere, Pintsize feels frustrated outrage and does not know why.
He knows that there’s a golden opportunity for a crass joke and that he’s missing it.
Oh wait!! Bubs & Elliott are thr same height!
Sharp observation.
Pure. Definitely pure.
See, now I imagine May wanting to ask a "physical" question about Faye and Bubbles that ends up with May needing body repairs...
Actually,.. I think bubbles understands May much more than is openly admitted. She probably has a "translation program running to determine what may means when she says something. (Meh, why am I tearing up?)
As a wlw, i find it less awkward than similar heights since it reduces the amount of boob tetris you have to play when making out.
I am now totally imagining two people making out with Korobeiniki playing in the background. Or maybe "A complete history of the Soviet Union, sung to the melody of Tetris."
NO BARRETTES?!! BOB WANT BARRETTES!
*raises the horny red card in front of Bob*
Clinton, "I'm not pure! It's just... Elliott is so much taller than me and I don't want him to feel awkward if we... and I just wanted to know from another tall person if.. and... wait, what did you think I was going to ask???"
all in his head tho
(Slight typo: significane -> significance) And awwww.
Oh man, I've been on the "tall" end of this. Don't worry, Clinton, you'll make it work.
Hi Doug! It's cool to find people I know reading this!
This might get Bubbles wondering if Clinton is talking about a tall AI... May? Crushbot?
i'm pretty sure she knows about Elliot.
This comic makes my heart glad
When you hug them, you can rest your chin on the top of their head. But probably shouldn't.
I'm shorter than my significant other, and they do this to me all the time. Frankly, it's adorable and I think it should be done by everyone who can
That question may be more selfish due to his own love life
Actually, considering that he's not the tall one in the prospective match he's thinking about, and the tall cinnamon bun he's contemplating being with would never intentionally complain about it even if it did turn out to be an issue. Still, I suppose, if Clinton's a long term planner and wanting to avoid possible waits in orthopedic waiting rooms (specifically spine specialists), maybe he is being selfish.
Oh clinton you sweet pure boy <3
Asking for the benefit of his own friendly giant!!
Indeed he is! That's my second fav thing about this strip. The first is, of course, Bubbles' face. <3
Awwww... so sweet!
holding hands is tricky, smooching involves a lot of lifting, and banging is fine cause everythings the same height laying down! SOURCE im 6'9
Welllll let’s just say that hitting one’s head repeatedly on the headboard can be a real mood killer...
And Clinton pulling on his shirt collar indicates he realized where this could lead. And beat a hasty retreat.
I took that as him just still getting comfortable w/ the idea of dating Elliot, not that he was gonna ask Bubbles how she & Faye boink. I don't think he course corrected at all.
I applaud him for not saying “asking for a friend”
If he did, he'd follow it up with "...who is me. I am the friend."
Today we learned that Clinton is as much a cinnamon bun as Elliot
I love them both.
missing a 'c' in significance in panel 2
Here it is: "c".
I love Bubbles trying and failing to anticipate his course of conversation twice.
Is it just me or does that read as "dude" to anyone else? Not exclusive to dudes, of course, but I feel like the need to anticipate questions like that, & the ego to be that sure you got it right when you didn't, is very much a thing men do more than women.
Shipwreck avoided!
Oh my god! Bubble's face in panel 4!
CAME HERE TO SAY THIS! Squeeeee!
Asking the serious questions.
