I need to fix blondie's side seam, it's lower than where her third arm was attached and I only just noticed!

Jon

I want to give Faye a hug

Robert Spremulli

You don't need to fix the seam if she moved while bubbles was working on her and the knife slipped!

Miyaa

I bet Bergamot would be a great AI journalist in the entertainment world.

Doc Mnc

Can I tell Blondie my life story now?

Alan Wiggs

blondie's face is an experimental cognitohazard designed for interrogation, bubbles' ecm is insufficient

That Blair Guy

“Blondie“ seems familiar. Have we seen her before? Or is it just something about her face?

SilverbackRon

Faye has a life of her own now with Bubbles. I think before that, Marten moving would have wrecked her completely. She is in a much better headspace these days.

Michael Boettger

Years ago, like, when Angus left, Faye would already would have drinking by now. The events of the last few hours is hitting her. She faces the impending absence of her best friend, and the income hit. But I don't see her falling apart. Bubbles will be her backstop for that. Then there's always the possibility of Union Robotics moving to Cubetown.

Captain Button

Will they try and upsell her some nipples?

Sean Kinlin

Didn't she have some hit songs in the early 80's?

Halloween Jack

The new placement of Arm3 is fine IMO.

Sean Kinlin

The face that launched a thousand stories...

Carrie

Oof! I unmasked from my N95 + replaceable activated carbon filter five layer rainbow mask have had Blondie's troubles with people telling me things they don't even feel comfortable telling family or doctors. (I get them to see doctors and counsellors if I cannot help them with their woes myself.) Woof! (To the intense things sometimes.)

Carrie

Yes! A hug for ages past to bring her comfort and ability to move forward.

That Blair Guy

@Sean Kinlin.- I’ve had a crappy day. Thank you for the genuine laugh.

Miyaa

@That Blair Guy • Been calling her “Bergamot” which is a cross between a lime and an orange.

Dean Reilly

Blondie saw a really good YouTube tutorial for recovering deleted memories, she just needs a stapler and some AA batteries.

Bill Silvia

It's not organicist to say lots of AIs look alike because their bodies come mass produced if they don't customize them.

Max Kaehn

My wife has this problem. Complete strangers will tell her their life stories, unasked.

Katrina Urmson

Everyone needs hugs. Or yummy smelling tea of choice. Or something!!

Tannerbot

She has come so far, gotten so much strength, but it still hurts to have a friend move away.

Bill Marcum

That's what Blondie was trying to do by adding a third arm.

awgiedawgie

I just figured Bubs was making some repairs further down Blondie's side as a result of the attempted 3rd arm. Didn't even consider that it might have been a mistake.

Mamadoc

Will Faye and Bubbles need to look for a new roommate, or will they move to a smaller place of their own?

Bill Silvia

I imagine it depends if Pintsize is staying or going.

"Faye's Progress: A Snapshot of Nearly Two Decades of Growth Told In Five Panels"

Livy N

I can feel the empty hollow feeling emanating from the first few panels 😭 or maybe that's just me putting myself in her place

awgiedawgie

Is Pintsize even contributing?

Nutjob

BEHOLD I HAVE CREATED TEA THAT HUGS YOU

Diptych

I figured that, as a companion AI, he was paying in kind rather than cash. If he's no longer living with Marten, that's no longer his role, so he'd have to start paying rent.

Blake Manor

he definitely has money, we've seen him contribute in the past with his... personal stash.

Finvaara

Faye has really grown a lot, and I'm sure there's a lot of "dealing with it" ahead, but this is the best start I could have expected

Ashley Thomas

she does have a calm comforting sort of face.

Captain Button

The botched mount caused structural damage further down.

Captain Button

@Sean Kinlin I thought that one got Raptured.

Slime

I’m pretty sure there was a page where Marten mentions Pinsize being willing to pay more for rent if he got an actual room, so I think they’ve been pitching in for rent since they got a bigger body

Todd Ellner

I've been told a urologist can treat that

Chloe Rosenthal

I just assumed Bubbles had to recalibrate some things lower down and so opened up a new hole

OldGoat

That's why she should have gone to Bubbles and Faye first.

OldGoat

Pintsize is loaded from all his successful porn websites. He's also got a fortune in premium chips from that Canadian tire outfit. He might not want to go to Canada if the RCMP want to speak with him.

Twister1398

Just re-center the seam and it's fine..

Is it cold in here?

Blondie should study to be a therapist if she isn't one already. Talk about a head start.

Orion Rhine

No need to completely redraw, just extend the side seam upwards. Bubbles is just working on fixing the "modifications" Blondie made further down to accommodate the arm.

Mirage

It's the end of an era. But it's the beginning of another era. It's so cool to watch these characters grow as people. =)

Jackson Bockus

Bubbles joining Faye in the "After taking a long time to open up about trauma initially now feels more comfortable talking about it as a sign of character growth" club.

Haunted Hermit

This. Right here. This. 🖤💜🖤

Absentia

I actually really like that name for her. She DOES resemble Lemon a lot. I actually confused her for Lemon when she first appeared.

Onyx

This is Lemon, yes?

Onyx

I know she's a different shade, but all the other characters look different........

Kelcrow

It would be an interesting twist if slowly over time the gang moves up to Canada because of better opportunities and less insanity than here in the states, Cubetown notwithstanding.

Kid Meier91

I hope that next comic has Blondie turning around to leave, revealing YET ANOTHER arm sticking straight out of the middle of her back

Ísabel Pirsic

I’d call that robot “M. Betty Infijay”

Bagge

Wow, that was really effective use of background or the lack thereof

Yelling Bird

My therapist works topless too!

enchantedsleeper

It's not, otherwise Jeph would have called her Lemon and not Blondie. It's a new character.

Miyaa

Two decades in our time, but probably just 5 years in QC time.

Leak

@Nutjob: i.e. Moray?

Christopher Wolfe

Maybe she already sealed up the damaged seam and had to make an opening further down to fix some motors or other connections that were damaged by the attempt to add a second arm? 🤷‍♂️

Joseph Loder

I have found myself interacting with people that have that kind of effect, it can be unnerving how much you might unconsciously give away.

Ktulu

Well now I'm f**king sad.

Laura Kolker

It's rough when your best friend moves away. You have to find a new normal. It can be done! But it's also not a trivial thing to do.

enchantedsleeper

Yeah, it definitely can't have been two decades in-comic xD But a few years seems about right.

Stephen Wells

Prehensile tail!... made out of arms! :)

Stephen Wells

Faye is very lucky to have Bubbles. Bubbles is also very lucky to have Faye; this new, maturer, Faye-in-a-turtleneck is insanely hot :)

Stephen Wells

I think Bubbles is just working her way gradually downwards on this new roboperson and finding something different and worse under every seam. A Gameboy. An aquarium. Some crickets. A frog.

Marcio Mendonça

This blondie is amazing! She had a name? She would make a great fixed character

allanfranta

Attaching a second arm requires infrastructure, I would love to see the support system to allow full use and why stop at 3 arms!

Randall Norman Pick

It's been a long time since Marten sort of was the center of all the going-ons but still, I really feel with Faye here.

Justin Seifert

Martin and Faye have been through a lot and their relationship spans almost the entire comic. I do think that if it wasn't for spooky butt, they would have eventually got together; however, it's great that they never did because their friendship grew into something better.

Doc Gumby

Just... keep her sober Jeph please.

Legionofanon

maybe the incision had to be made lower to fix other components also?

Sean Kinlin

So your mask filters out unsolicited outpourings as well as virus particles?

Miyaa

Panel ④ where Faye looks upward as her surroundings emerge, is she spiritually looking up towards her Dad? Does she sense how proud her Dad would have been? Am I reading too much into that because some ninja chef has been chopping onions for the past two hours?

Carrie

Yes, my mask which noticeably makes speaking quieter because of the layers combined with me needing two crutches (I have PPMS) works wonderfully as a social filter and safety net that I would have loved to have decades ago. 🤘😅🤘

Carrie

Puppy pile snuggle party with various tea in essential oil diffusers.

atomicBlaze21

Just saw how you fixed the misplaced incision in the live version, looks nice!

Pete

Looks like Jacques liked your idea, judging from the updated strip. Nice!

Steve McSheffrey

I joined your Patreon just to tell you I have never been as moved by a day's installment as I was with this one.

Jim Feldman

I know that at one point Faye and Martin were close friends but with each entering into LTR's it doesn't seem like they were that close anymore, other then roomies.

Mike O'Dell

I, for one, don’t believe Cubism Hell will last ‘till the water gets hot. Neither one of our valiant humans will be able to tolerate the cyberstupid flux for very long. The Big Amoeba claims they need someone to organize things. Since It is all powerful over all it surveys there is no reason it could not reform local reality as It wishes. So either it’s lying about several important details, or it is lying about a different set of very important details. Either way, nothing good cN come of this. The only question is whether it will be Bad or Worse.

niapri

A fitting comic for the end of an era. ❤️🥹 It just made me realize I’ve been reading this comic since I was in college…it’s kind of crazy how everything changes and we just keep on keepin on. That’s what I’m taking from this one, anyway!

Finvaara

Went and looked on the published page. I quite like the fix for the side seam.
