Poor kid

John Fiala

It really says something about how close Faye and Bubbles have gotten that Bubbles picked up on the joke and ran with it, after Faye started it. They really are good for each other.

Tim Eldred

I love the Faye-Bubbles dynamic. Neither of them miss a beat.

Grace Kieser

Dammit, Faye! You too, Bubbles! Sam is too young to know you're fucking with her!

Has Faye swore in front of Sam before? If not...I think I smell a storyline

Adam Friedlander

Bubs in panel 5 reminds me of Maxim 20 from Schlock Mercenary: If you're not willing to shell your own position, you're not willing to win.

J.E. Melton

Code brown is the one where you have to watch where you're stepping.

Joel Bateman

Did Bubbles just get more adorable? I didn't think that was possible. We've passed a new level of Bubdorable.

Michael Boettger

All right you two! Be nice! Sam is a good kid and while a little hazing is to be expected, you need to buy her lunch now. A yummy lunch.

Criss Invid

... is the name of my Prince cover band.

James Cooper

Ah the time honored past time of f*cking with the newbies. Next be sending in the back for a can of A.I.R. and maybe some good old ID10T grease lol

Miyaa

There had better be war ladle 2.0 as compensation for that joke.

Matt Grayson

Keep it up and she’ll bake you a Chaos Loaf!

Bryan Stopp

I need you to go to supply and get me a yard of flight-line. Yes, one yard.

Nemo of Utopia

What does he mean: "Except that ONE time"?!? 0_o

J.R. Murdock

I feel like they're just standing around waiting for ways to fuck with her. LoL

Kevin Hicks

It does depend on *which* dog is loose in the mess hall.

Joseph Bonnar

There is a difference. A labradoodle (lab poodle crossbreed) is not likely to be aggressive. A chihuahua now? Ready the anti chihuahua BASSELOPE missile!

Emma Humphries

Note that we've gone from May's Teen Broom to Sullen Teen with Broom.

Joshua Brumley

I still get a chuckle when we get an MT move (taking an empty trailer from point a to point b), and I tell my current student we're going to pickup Sailboat Fuel. Ah, the looks on thier faces even for the ones who get the joke quickly. :D

Gary Walker

Bubs in panel 5 is new best Bubs. Fite me.

Summer Sudbrink

Purple alert. Not as bad as a red alert but a bit worse than a blue alert, but you don’t want to say mauve alert.

So what's on the shelf that bracket was holding up and is it going to explode when it falls to the floor?

Brooks Moses

An easy way to remember it is that the flower is named in honor of Leonhart Fuchs (a botanist who wrote a notable early catalogue of plants). And the color is very indirectly named for him; it's named for the dye fuchsine, which was named that because the plant was becoming popular and the makers wanted to capitalize on that (and, oddly, not because of the color of the fuchsia flowers). Anyway, I had to look most of that up, but at least remembering that some guy named Fuchs was involved is enough to get the spelling right.

Some Ed

There exist extra shelf brackets which are not currently in use, as well as redundant shelf brackets. Just because one bracket was found free range does not mean a shelf is necessarily about to collapse. Shelf brackets are cheap enough that even companies struggling as much as Union Robotics will usually have times when they have extra shelf brackets. Especially when you consider that Bubbles can probably cut, shape, and drill them as needed. (That said, mass produced shelf brackets will probably be cheaper than Bubbles' time to make them, so she'd probably only be making shelf brackets if they had a shelf bracket emergency. Which this isn't.)

OldGoat

C'mon, Sam certainly can recognize a common shelf bracket. SHE's fuckin' with them.

Bagge

ah, tactical codename humour. Very droll.

Matthew Foweraker

I dunno, that a shelf holding heavy or expensive tools or parts is down a bracket might indeed be important.

Dylan T

That bracket was holding up something important, wasn't it?

Ack

I love the way Faye and Bubbles are so in tune with each other. backing up each others' jokes, not spoiling each others' jokes, and so forth.

Grumpulum

i cant wait for them to send her to get air-hooks or watever is the equivalent in america to mess with the new kid XD

Dean Reilly

Next they'll send Sam out for some striped paint and a left-handed screwdriver.

Anonymous

"resentful sweeping" = me, an adult, cleaning my floors at home. I hate it.

Clifton Royston

Old American traditions include sending the newbies to search for a "left-handed monkey wrench" and "elbow grease" in apprenticeships, and "tent stretcher" (in the Boy Scouts.)

Ben C

Now they're just rubbing it in...

As a former machine shop intern, the amount of FNG abuse here is extremely relatable and giggle-inducing for me. Well played, Mr. Jacques.

Thomas A. Dennis

I'd like to think that, in a real red alert type situation, Bubbles would just pick up the phone and make old-fashioned modem noises into it.

jimbo

okay Bubbles, what about the 'atypical' situations?

Philip Lautin Jackson

I'll be honest; After reading the comic for years I finally just started donating to point out the morally (if not technically, language being somewhat fluid) wrong spelling of fuchsia. Also, fuchsia is an experimental new google OS.

Someonelse

It could be worse, we could have ended up keeping the spelling and regularising the pronunciation. Although actually, "code fucksya" sounds pretty dramatic.
