I stand corrected

Carried there by an otherwise-unladen swallow!

Yonatan Zunger

Don't forget aroused / near a bakery!

Igor Mosyagin

It makes us very horny. We are confused that The Cereal Week is not published yet. It makes us a tiny bit angry. that's how

Churchill (formerly TeaBear)

Did that have something to do with Steve eating cereal? :/

Dean Reilly

Confused, angry <b>and horny</b>.

Confused and angry are the only real emotions.

Jim Feldman

Is it just me or does Basilisk have two expressions; Annoyed/angry and Surprise/bemused

Churchill (formerly TeaBear)

When are we gonna get that week of Steve eating cereal you keep teasing us with?

Mark

One of my favourite ever QC lines- "Alice and Bob have become more powerful than we can possibly imagine." https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3379

Mark

It could have been worse. The *previous* strip could have been the cliffhanger.

I would start here: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3360 .

I just looked up the Madagascan sunset moth-- it should be NBC's new logo

dcy665 .

Friday is two days away. 5/20 one day from 5/21.

Ugh now I wish you hadn't pointed it out

David Pipes

Yeah, look at what his buddy Willis is doing these days... This *is* light comedic drama compared to that... :-)

Chris Heg

The memories had already been deleted by Corpse Witch. Bubbles didn't know they were gone forever.

Clifton Royston

I think the fact that she knows it's a stupid reaction and is already aware she's being irrational about it makes that vastly less likely. She's at the "immediately start climbing out of the pit" stage of recovery, if not the "walk around the huge pit" stage.

Yola Leroch

Wait. That's a Firday strip, right? That a cliffhanger, yes? ARGH.

Derrik Pates

Like that's gonna stop him.

Andrea Andrew

If this ever becomes a series, Peridot’s VA should audition.

Matthew Van Gangelen

What number was that. When they saved Bubs.

Evgeniy Semyonov

Also in the third panel Yay looks like Peridot from Steven Universe, and now I can't shake off this association.

Sleepy John

The yoga pants buddies are on the town.

S L Hall

Westhampton but yes :P

"Rokay", like an agreement from Scooby Doo?

2500 bells, so a Madagascan sunset moth... in Boston??? ;D

Lightsabr2

Damn... all you shippers. I read "RoKay" in Lil Jon's voice. -_-

awgiedawgie

No. But there is some lack of consistency. It was visible throughout the entire set of strips where they made the massive donation to charity, but then was not visible at all throughout the entire set of strips where they put Roko to sleep. Even in today's strip alone, it's visible in the third panel, but not in the last one.

awgiedawgie

Technically, they didn't reveal it either. Bubbles chose to have a memory gap, rather than dealing with the memories. Yay merely discovered that it was permanent (and removed the kill software in the process). Bubbles didn't know at the time that not having the memories at all just might be worse than the memories themselves.

Bagge

It was a very large moth

JD

Jeph I’d just like to remind you we’re all very fragile right now and we don’t need more collective trauma

Chris Heg

They revealed Bub's memory gap, though they did not create it (as far as we know).

Douglas E. Smith

Yay! (literally and figuratively) An omniscient AI is just what you need to find some hidden history.

Is that the first time we've seen Yay's neck joint?

Simon Green

Shirley you mean "thiccens"?

Joseph Bonnar

So... This isn't my favorite ship, by ANY means. But the name is SO, SO perfect. RoKay?

Joseph Bonnar

Rokay now...

Joseph Bonnar

And the plot thickens...

I can't help but think of the Them in Good Omens... Omnipotence and all...

Grace Kieser

We?

Mark Thomas

it's not yet too late for Yay to sidestep any questions and be completely uninvolved with how this plays out?

Bill Hall

Roko Yay! Yay Roko? I’m so confused ...

William Cole

This is an encouragingly screwball twist in what was a potentially bleak storyline.

Tom wilson

I just KNEW Yay was going to get involved in this, somehow. They are the most likely ones to be able to recover Bubbles' memory.

M Cohen

Dammit Faye. This needs to not be a Faye-relapses-and/or-wrecks-everything arc, we’re all too invested.

Sleepy John

Yay is the very embodiment of THEM-dom.

I'm sure Yay would have some answers. They would have access to all those secret reports of Bubbles' old team, for starters. But if Bubbles' previous relationships weren't documented (which would be very likely if it was one of Bubs' comrades) then I doubt Yay can help.

Jon Guyer

Surely there’s a large moth *somewhere* that needs avoiding

Dean Reilly

Hey, you didn't see how big that moth was!

Nulgar

Quasi-literally.

Diptych

Bubbles' first lover.

Miyaa

Yay tried to help Bubbles recover her memories only to find they weren’t so much locked away as deleted. And Faye might have remembered that.

Leaflemming

Saved. Maybe. (...but maybe she didn't need saving. She seemed glum in panel one, rather than relapse-imminent distraught. Still. Surely Yay can answer some questions, if Basilisk stares at them hard enough...)

Paul Britt

First one what???

Matt Grayson

I thought Yay NEVER lied. She’s growing up!

Miyaa

Basilisk was minding her own business and Yay is stalking Basilisk?

z

And now we see what Faye will do with her life. Hunt down and exterminate every running instance of Yay, because Yay was responsible for her father's death.
