Bubs has form with not quite managing to blend in. See her attempt at 1337 speak- https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3552

More flustered Bubbles please. Flubbles?

Joe

Bubbles in the last panel. so cute.

Erin Moriarty

Dear Bubbles, you couldn't be more endearing if you tried ❤️

When I was in college, there was this other student named Jeff who was from Kentucky. In a show of clever creativity the other students in the dorm called him "Kentucky." (They called me "Penn State.") For some reason, any time he walked into the room, I'd adopt a (faux) Kentucky accent in imitation. It wasn't deliberate, and it wasn't intended to mock him. Eventually I realized I was doing it and made a conscious effort to stick to my normal accent, but for whatever reason, it was something my brain did without consulting me.

What happened to buff Faye?!?! Bring back buff Faye!!!

Clifton Royston

In this strip Faye looks younger and lighter in spirits than she has in a long time. Coming out has taken so much weight off her.

So.... Faye used to only use contractions when she was either drunk or super comfortable.... and now I believe Bubbles has only used them when totally nervous. Thats rather adorable.

Chris Crowther

Bubbles is adorable, eh?

Mattezhion Zane Corgan Campbell

Every time I think you've maxed out the adorableness of this pair, you kick it up a notch. Your work continues to be an exemplar of relationship building

Evgeniy Semyonov

Why ain'tcha takin' it easy with yer missus, Faye? She did done good 'ere.

Daryl Resplandor

No, I think she was trying too hard to appease Mrs. Whitaker, hence Faye joking about it

Timothy Roller

That's...that's not how "y'all" works!

Noah Braganca

I'd have been up to see Bubbles' attempt at a Canadian accent

Bagge

Take mercy, Faye. The poor girl has already vented enough coolant for one day

I am the captian now

Doth bubbs be a southern gal? 🤔🥰😀

Simon Green

we are ALL bubbles on this blessed day :)

In my experience, y'all is singular and all y'all is plural, but I'm willing to believe that my experience is biased by the population who moved to North Carolina's Triangle to work.

Paul Britt

I hate to be pedantic but I have a correction. I have lived my entire life (62 yrs) in the deep south, so I know what I am talking about here. The word "y'all" is never used by real southerners as a singular. Y'all is only a plural phrase. It is a bastardization of "all of you."

Bubbles has better social graces than a large fraction of the Homo Sapiens I’ve dealt with over my life. The strip has never explored the darker side of AIs, although we do know that since Bubbles was a soldier in her prior instantiation we can assume AIs are not bound by “The Three Laws” in the full Asmovian formulation. It is heartening to see that Faye and Bubbles seem to be what each other need.

Sleepy John

And you did jus' fine, sweetheart, you hear?

Dolan

I definitely slip into the accents of people I'm around. My husband has a pretty heavy southern drawl that I unconsciously adopt to the point where people just assume I'm from Alabama lol

Adam Friedlander

Oh no, Bubbles has gotten even cuter.

KingAtticus

Reckon the “ma’am” would have been enough, but I get the idea of overcompensating and you just say stuff you wouldn’t normally

Tamara Macadam

i think that went well

David Perez

OMG....you're right, this might be a first

Bruce Steinberg

I think the Spookybot collective is probably the most “evolved”, but Bubbles certainly acts very human. That may be due to the “couples acting like each other” thing rather than her military career though. She’s changed a ton since she and Faye first met.

Chris Heg

Yes. Steam vents too.

Simon Green

Do AIs have cheek chromatophores that allow them to blush?

Greg Matyola

Having been going through Basic Training in South Carolina, I still have some southern slag in my speech now, even though I wasn't in for a year. It kinda sticks to you like grits.

Dylan T

Pure wholesome robut

The IT Guy Eh

Take off eh! ~Token Canadian

Bailey Tighe

Well, I'll be! Bubbles is such a sweet lass, ain't she?

at0m

Cannot unsee

Maurice Kessler

Code-switching with dialect to ingratiate! I've certainly done it.

Joseph Bonnar

Bubbles IS endearing. Very,

Dean Reilly

It's more obvious in this strip- you can definitely see that Faye is holding the phone with her right hand, but her left hand is holding it in the close-up panels.

Rob McBobson

I like the little detail of Bubbles holding her hand to her chest in that dignified "This is how a true lady looks when she's laughing" pose.

Matt Grayson

Have we ever seen Bubbles laugh before?

Dean Reilly

Pintsize seconds this motion.

Nicholas Lopez

I love Bubbles so much

Michael Boettger

Bubbles seems to be the most evolved of all the AIs we've seen, right? Maybe the longterm interaction with human (military, etc) has rubbed off on her. Or maybe, yeah, shes just trying to endear herself.

Glaive

Bubbles is me and i am Bubbles.

the way Bubbles closes her arms in out of embarassment is making her roboboobs very prominent and i demand that from now on all robots have gigantic tits. the men and the enby robots too.
