A radioactive dog that barks back at you?

Now I'm wondering what the setup was for that punchline in panel 1

Holding hands in frame one makes me happy. They like each other. Friends should be able to unashamedly show affection without *having* to label their relationship. Labels are for defining boundaries. If it's a date, we've moved the boundaries up to include possible romance. Why don't we just wait to see if either discovers interest in romance? Because humans are afraid to cross differently-perceived boundaries, and apparently, robots can be just as delightfully neurotic, lol Brun is perfect for cutting through that bullshit. I hope she makes it possible for them to forge a relationship that is what it is and can be whatever they agree on without all the angst. This is my favorite soap opera, lol

As an autistic asexual I kinda really really hope this is leading us to a queerplatonic relationship between an autistic girl and a robot. Like. I WANT THAT SO BADLY. I get a lot of autism representation but rarely any asexual representation.

I didn't quite see this development that happened over the last 2 strips, even after Brun slept on (with?) Millefeuille the night before - was still focused on the 4-way dynamic between .... ummm, never mind I didn't say anything.

Ellorgast

Once again, Jeph's robot world is the only robot world I care about. This cute-ass developing relationship between an emotionally-aware robot girl with a nice ass and a human who struggles with people and emotions but loves complex logical systems? Amazing

Joseph Bonnar

WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT HOLD YER HORSES! Hey, Jeph? We need more STEVE! Eating cereal. Thank you. (This has been a paid commercial advertisement by the "US Cereal Killers Association", Cap'n Crushbot presiding.)

Matt Grayson

Can’t wait to hear Bubbles’ take on this.

yes Yes YESSSSSS AAAAHAHAHA

SSJ Carrot Cake

i feel like this clears the way for Clinton and Elliot to do their thing.

Derrik Pates

I just laughed out loud and clapped at the last panel. Never change, Jeph

Robin Wyatt

I was hoping Brun would end up with one or both of the dudes, but This plus the dudes pairing up also works

Scott Vogel

Jeph's butt disease is acting up again.

Crisass Management ( I need to stop...)

Dancing on the Edge of Sanity

Ass, and you shall receive ...

Dancing on the Edge of Sanity

Jeph said "..yes, butt" ;3

I am the captian now

*slams fists on table* BIGGER ASS!

Tachpmg

That'd be so great

Kyle Major

Ooh hand holding

Gary Walker

I'm sort of hoping that Brun will be the ace biromantic I've always headcanoned her as.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! It's so good.

ParagonRocky

Now she'll want new boobs. Then thighs, lips, eventually she'll be wobbling around like the Michelin man.

VGreenGoblinV

It’s happening!!!

yes, butt

Mark

We've already seen Bubbles in that position, most explicitly just before the resolution https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3742 .

Mark

Millefeuille was coming onto Clinton at the party https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4218 so a sprawling polycule is still possible.

Mark

"What do you call a Welsh dog that works in a nuclear power plant?" perhaps.

Will Weaver

The prophecy is fulfilled!

Salodni Ikkis

"No, I want Brun's ass"

Dave, Duke of Fridges

IT'S HAPPENING OH MY GOD IT'S HAPPENING GUYS

aww omg omg omg

Serj Rowan

haha that makes sense

Stephen Wells

Time between panel 4 and panel 5: three hours.

Stephen Wells

We're all squeeing over the purity and innocence... Next strip will be Brun telling Renee "You know, it's odd, when I touched myself after my nap I was thinking about Millefeuille instead of werewolves. I wonder what that means?"

Grace Kieser

Does this make Faye Millie's Martin?

"And two hard-boiled eggs"

Clifton Royston

From Butts Disease to Buts Disease? (Sorry if this is a double, I thought I posted but it vanished.) Also: THEY'RE HOLDING HANDS! AND EACH THINKS THE OTHER IS PRETTY! *sniffling*

MikeT

Jeph's Shipping Company, still sailing strong in these tough times

Am Queue

That's the 'union' in the name

Stephen Wells

"In fact please just pad my entire body, because I'm a bed now."

Honestly, that's how my best relationships started. Couple weeks/months in ... "Oh, are we a thing?" "Guess so." "Huh, cool."

They practically just met! This 'ship is barely in the FRIENDship stage, just a dinghy! Not that I wouldn't mind seeing more (ahem!) hand-holding..... ^_^

Bagge

I do enjoy that Union Robotics apart from robot repair shop, emergency room and beauty saloon now starts to turn into a relationship advice shop. They will have a pile of gold for pillow in a month if this keeps up

BioYuGi

I mean, yes? Yes. Brun would probably like an even MORE cushier pillow to sleep on!

Ardent Slacker

do we have any poly in the cast? Just a buncha monogamists who are SO CUTE.

Thomas Halpin

It is really, really fascinating to see a relationship where it's the AI that has to wonder if their feelings are acceptable or unwanted, and if they should cool it or go for it.

Dylan T

Good. Good. Excellent

Jackie Meyer

Totally here for the squees!

Fart Captor

"Not bigger, MORE! How much for a third cheek?"

Creepy Cat Lady

There are so many ways Jeph could break my heart right now and I am so very nervous.

Fart Captor

YEEEEEEEEESS

Union Robotics: Body Augmentation & Roblationship Advice.

Andrew

Or maybe I should go with “Well are you coming in? I can’t very well nap without my butt-bed can I?”

Justin Cox

Aww, if the Clinton/Brun ship sinks, I'm going to have to fall back on my Clinton/Roko ship.

C. A. Bridges

I admit, I just read the comic and immediately rushed right over here to bathe in the squees.

Luzahn

They're holding haaaaaands

Oh daaaaaaaaaang.

Jam Ussery

alt title: Yea We Gay Keep Scrollin

awgiedawgie

It's amazing how well two people get along when neither of them had any expectations to begin with.

GragSmash

Harold,

Captain Button

Ain, from Cowboy Bebop.

Captain Button

I thought you were Spartacus.

J.R. Murdock

Yes...butt.

lilibat

So many awkward and unfortunate possibilities here.

Gamera

oh my god these bitches gay

Chelsea

Is it possible that Brun didn't intend to flirt w Millefeuille (which could lead to some heartbreak for M)? I can't tell if her recollection of Renée's suggestions was her thinking "how do I flirt with this person?" or just "how do I befriend this person?" It seems pretty clear the Millefeuille is into Brun, but I'm sad she may learn it's not reciprocated. ...or, maybe Brun didn't realize she was flirting, but she might like the idea if Millefeuille brought it up! :)

Evan

How dare you lmao

Andrew

“Can I, um, take a nap on your butt?”

Jason Holmes

Might as well change the name of the comic to "Everyone loves Brun" at this point. (I love her too)

Matt

squeeeee intensifies

Sandrock

OMG they have already progressed to hand holding ^_^ Hold on while a squee into my phone for a minute

Matt Grayson

Depends if you count Winslow’s insta-crush on Roko.

Hugh Eckert

Makes sense. Faye and Bubs are the SMEs in that...

Hugh Eckert

She's never, like, kicked in a door because of someone's reaction to a possible crush or anything...

Niskara

She's gonna ask Faye for advice on robot lesbian relationships. I'm calling it now

thefinaldegree

There's still time I say!

Andrea Andrew

Is it really shipping when it’s basically confirmed at this point? 🥰😄

David Durant

Which leaves Clinton and Elliot...? Shame to miss out on the chance for a poly story line but today's pair are uber-cute.

Pejo

Not sure if this is rhetorical, but Brun totally initiated it last comic in her epiphany, & they evidently never let go. That's happened to me before on dates & maybe-dates & it's GLORIOUS.

Captain Button

I thought they were angels...

Andrew Mitchell

You mean "What do you call an ARMY dog?" (Do American's still call soldiers GIs?)

David Jackson

I guess Jeph decided, about the subtext 😃: https://www.patreon.com/posts/multilayered-35935881

Rat

oh SHIT

Alex H

Yeeesssss I ship it

runrin

this feels like it was the fastest anyone has realized that they are into someone in this entire comic.

Wooly50

Can I get uhhhhh big butt robo gf

runrin

nsvsjsdsetigezvrdrekpbsurb!!!

JD

Claire and Marten aren't considered a straight relationship? And of course there's Dale and Marigold.

Sora

OML THEY ARE

HERE WE GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Noise

"What do you call a dog in the middle of a nuclear power plant?" "A reactor core-gi!"

Thisguy

THEY’RE HOLDING HANDS!!

Bailey Tighe

I mean, her ass is, apparently, very comfy.

That Blair Guy

It occurs to me that anyone running into Union Robotics and shouting, "I need your help!" is likely to witness Bubbles going to high alert. I mean, not like she's done anything that before or anything....

JEPH THE CUTE IS SO STRONG IT HURTS ME HOW DO YOU SURVIVE AHHHHHHHhhhhh

Brent

NOW COME SAIL AWAY, COME SAIL AWAY!

lmao

Tamara Macadam

theeeere it is

Vilinda

Asexuals can have romantic ships. Not every ship has to be sex based.

Kenneth Fair

Man, Jeph, you are just toying with everyone now.

Lev Vaesinis

This is probably my favorite punchline yet

Wood

Welp, I guess Clinton and Eliott still have each other...

Chris Sims

Jeph, Don't you mean "yes, butt" ? ... .... I'll see myself out :p

James Cooper

Why does part of me think we're going to find out that Brun is asexual and this will all be the north Atlantic for all the ships of Brun?

Miyaa

hands the captain a huge bottle of champagne to break the ship with on its maiden voyage.

Joseph Ascanio

I can ship this.

Miyaa

I have questions about this reactor corgi. Because some corgis are smart, but others are definitely not smart.

ViennaStar

I am Millefeuille

BeatButton

what a fantastic punchline

Jaron Mortimer

"So, dumb people wanna complain that there aren't enough mainline straight relationships in my comic? Well, just wait till everyone is banging big-assed robots!" - Jeph, probably

I need details on this reactor corgi, preferably a book.

Joel Bateman

DON'T THINK WE DIDNT SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING IN PANEL 1 JEPH.

R L

WAIT HOLDING HANDS WHAT

Agnes

god, how long until the entire cast of the comic coalesces into one polycule the Singularity

Michael Boettger

Holding hands? Send my luggage to the cabin because I am on the ship. And Millie turning to the only person she know in the same situation. (I was going to say boat, but I gave up puns for lent)
