I'm not going to say this one made me cry, but it might have made me ugly cry.
Error 3404, memories not found.
I am moved by Bubbles prelude to tears in panel #2. She has been the victim of a terrible crime. I am glad caring people are there for her. Although , I know she could wreak a terrible vengeance upon CW. I suspect CW, will get her due with human hands.
We demand it! ORBITAL. RAILGUN. JUSTICE.
Oh this hits hard
I'm not crying, you're crying! :'(
Now... you can't just leave us hanging like that, Jeph. I think it is safe to say that we all want justice and absolution for Bubbles :'(
Be honest - we all want to see CW receive Orbital Railgun Justice because Reasons :D
Have to love the depth of all the characters though - even May :D
It's been really interesting for me as I take classes on AI and creative computers and had discussions about where the line is between intelligent people and intelligent machines, and at the same time read this story. Whether or not they look like humans, or talk like humans, or behave like humans (though we might want them to, to some extent), I think it really comes down to the empathy we feel towards them. I mean--we're all reading a story about a robot whose memories got deleted and the feelings it evokes are so real and intense. I really hope we get there in real life, and I'm fairly confident that we will.
I wonder what would have been worse for Bubbles to deal with: the full blown PTSD from the memories or the limited amnesia she has now? Looking for a silver lining.
What's the title a reference to? EDIT: Duh!
It's page 3404 of the comic. It's possible that Jeph forgot to give it a title, but I think it's more that he didn't want a title to distract from the page. The lack of a title or comment kindof intensifies the whole experience for me on this page anyway.
And then they fucked.
And then they *all* fucked, thank you very much. --YB
Witch hunt!
I know Bubbles is in a lot of pain right now, but it time I'm sure she'll understand how good she's got it. Having Faye and Emily and Hanners as friends will salve any heartbreak.
And salvo any enemy.
With the correct amount of crushing and welding, Corpse Witch would make a stylish espresso maker.
Enough to make a grown man weep!
This story line is breaking my heart.
AND NOW FOR REVENGE.
Burn the witch
Oooooh now do we get to see orbital bombardment?
😥
rip my heart
Been shot by the feels
Jeph, this... you... damn. This whole thing has been quite a ride. I'm honestly crying right now. Thank you for creating and sharing this beautiful and heartbreaking story.
Poor Bubbles
