The nerdiness of that pun is over 9000 😏

Brooke Vibber

NICE

Matt Dunlap

ROFLMAO. Fucking gold. If I weren't already supporting you here this'd have put me over the edge.

Yohannon

I can attest to the ability to put together complex machinery and computer equipment while sleeping; I did it all too often during my computer expo days.

Best. Pun. Ever.

Victor Stevko

I did not see that pun incoming.

Jaime Burns-France

My favorite pun in a long long long long time!!!

Chuck Dee

As a change from 'instead', she should have said, 'in addition'

Hugh Eckert

Wow, ouch. Good one.

EnterTheHero

...That might be my favorite pun I’ve ever seen.

Joe

wow. that one hurt.

Matt

She's mah favorite

I bet Jeph thought of that pun and couldn't wait to add it lol.

Okay, one; that pun is god tier. Two; I think this is the longest conversation that Martin and Bubbles have had where Martin didn't freak out.

Derrik Pates

He does long-game us on various things, so it's a good possibility.

Chris Wicks

Cracking pun from Bubbles

Mark

Has Bubbles ever punned before? If not, she started at the top!

Wolfger

OMFG, when people were going on about the pun I was thinking it was the subtitle pun. I just went back and re-read the last panel and I am floored. My not-quite-fully-awake brain processed that as "some assembly" and I was going to just go about my day. Thank you!

Bagge

Bubble's sense of humor is very mighty

Bagge

To be fair, a lot of people can use Marten as a toothpick

Jenner L

That one hurt but I loved it

Gamebook

Probably Bubbles.

Gamebook

Seeing Bubbles and Marten standing next to each other is hilarious. Bubs looks like she could use him for a toothpick.

Cody Renton

I feel we're not giving that god-tier pun in the last panel enough attention

Michael Honey-Arcement

Emily has to be a spokybot prototype model. not multiple bodied and blends in well as a human. QC version of Fallout 4 Synth?

Ack

Same time Bubbles did, apparently.

Grace Kieser

When did Emily put her pants back on?

Jeph, did you actually introduce the theramin into the story just so you could drop that pun on us?!?!

Emily: https://youtu.be/OawrlVoQqSs

Ian Wolfe

That is just so utterly Emily, it's a little scary.

Ryan

God damnit, Barb. I mean Bubbles.

Solomon Garland

I'm losing my MIND over that pun. So fucking clever. I will be groaning for weeks.

Populuxe

Claire is going to be so angry when she learns she missed out on this pun. From Bubbles no less.

Ted Van Roekel

I've disassembled and reassembled computers in my sleep, so I can see this happening. The question is how many theremins has Emily assembled before?

Anthony Gaglianese

The pun, it burns! Also, who put her pants back on? In sleepy stoned brain mode, pants are usually the last thing on my mind.🤔

Thisguy

The next time Emily does something to her hair, please let it get dyed into a weird colour (not blond, preferably a colour none of the existing cast have). I keep having to remind myself that it’s Emily, not Dora.

Grace Kieser

You spelled "worst" incorrectly

BobC

Uh, wow, she CAN put it together in her sleep. I thought it was just a saying...

Shawn K. Younkin

Well, she DOES live w/ Claire. XD

awgiedawgie

This just reinforces the possibility that Emily is, in fact, an extremely advanced AI, possibly "birthed" by Spookybot.

Peter Jensen

I'm kinda worried it's going to end up some sort of reality bending device, though ...

awgiedawgie

But quietly... she's sleeping.

Joel Bateman

Bad pun, Bubbles. Baaaaad

Tamara Macadam

if anyone could do it i guess

I must agree with the others that the pun deserves special applause

Miyaa

This is on a Karla Pacheco level of awful puns.

Waffles the Mooose

#1. That PUN GOD DAMMIT #2. Emily is my big favorite of all time.

TubaGinger

That pun made me feel so good.

LH

i fear we've gone from "can't tell Emily and Dora apart" to "can't tell Emily and Marten apart"

Dallas Hicks

That may be the greatest "punmanteau" I have ever seen. 👏👏👏

Matt Grayson

/golfclap

Michael Boettger

But a very high level of punning. Whoever developed Bubble's language skills deserves applause. And Bravo, Jeph.

fish

boo BOOOO

Aqua Allison

"Somnassembly" JEFF

Alex Mullenix

Bubbles just went for it

BeatButton

"Somnassembly required" is in fact the best possible pun

Alexander W Couzens

Jeph that pun is atrocious
