About 900 strips from the rolled up into one "And so" (-:

Oil's well that ends well! (Thank you, everyone, for leaving that one for me. Love ya!)

Indeed! The very-specifically-rendered engine hoist that's a callback to the previous storyline where it was used for suspending Moko for hair-generation.

And Elf Only Inn stopped years ago. Jeph is cranking out new material five days a week. Obligatory xkcd: <a href="https://xkcd.com/2086/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://xkcd.com/2086/</a> Posted Monday. It's like the author is a precog or something.

As the Faybles ship really started to set sail, I went and downloaded all the strips specific to the storyline from 2989 when Faye says her dream job is building custom murderbot chassis for underground robot fighting tournaments to, eventually, 3798 when Faye realizes Bubbles has given her permanent sex hair. It’s 364 pages and it’s right here on my iPad whenever I need to spray lubricant in my eyes.

I did this with elfonlyinn.net years ago, and it was fun. I consider doing this with QC from time to time, but it's a MUCH larger project.

Pintsize's mysterious corrosive tears are not standard for other AI chasis. Good to know

Beware: that way lies madness for whoever ends up hashtagging the, what, fourteen or so years of strips. I should know: I started tagging my OTHER favorite strip, Wapsi Square, as well as listing characters and locations in each strip. Over the course of a month I tagged two or three years, then got distracted by life and haven't managed to pick it up again. Thank god Paul has been filling the metadata on current strips as he publishes them.

Maybe it's HER lubricant... Tho I don't think she carries a purse.

Y'know, it'd be pretty cool to have pages with storyline links for things like this. A "Faye and Bubbles relationship" pages with links to key strips.

Oh my god they were roomates

Is she wasting the shop's supplies, or does she carry her own?

WD-40 really does work on anything, even crying androids.
Mental note: if caught weeping sentimentally, claim to be lubricating one's eyes.

Interesting that historically the strip tended to have its backgrounds be stuff in coffee shops, but now in addition there are lots of tools and apparatus in the shop. Presumably some some of which are fictional and I imagine sometimes are just "mechanical set dressing", but I very much liked the very specifically rendered engine hoist in today's strip.

Me neither. I could go back through the archives (again!) to confirm, but I recall it as being, after a rocky start, the two gradually growing closer, with occasion slips showing deeper feelings (e.g. Bubbles calling Faye beautiful) before the last piece semi-literally fell into place - no "meet cute" moment or the like.

Roko should hang out with Claire... and Momo... and Hanelore... and like half the rest of the cast of romantics
Oh dear, Roko might well be laying her plans... Or... Vice versa.
Basilisk looking a bit like Emily in Panel 2 there. Also, you know she really wants to ask about the bangin'
Dean Reilly
Be sure to bill her for the lubricant!

I don't remember what was so corny/romantic about the story?
Lord Crusade
SO. GODDAMN. CUTE!
JPMK! {verb}
D'aaawww. Lemony judgement has been passed.

Seeing Roko's face in panel 2... ... I suddenly have a craving for cornbread.
