I just now noticed the gif had a heart effect in it XD For whatever reason did not load up beyond sliding into place for me before.
Dying! I cannot wait to see how this whole thing plays out@
Julienne Ignace
Jephs note below the comic just totally confirmed (as if there was any doubt) that he totally pays attention to the comments section here. And that all this slow burn build up was indeed for his own lulz. (Which is honestly why I subscribe to his patreon. For the comments section, so I can know I'm not alone).
This is the greatest moment.
I love the tetris heart gif and I keep coming back to look at it again.
John M Davis
Sadly the mobile app doesn't handle the gif at all. Had to look on the desktop to see the animation. Real cute!
Dahlia Rose Israel
She realized she's into Bubbles. It's pretty obvious when you consider her hand slowly inching up Bubbles thigh. lol
Jonathan Bruder
Such a great reaction gif!
Bob Ellis
Or course, we still have to twist in the wind until we find out just exactly what Faye has realised. Or mis-interpreted. Or whatever. But you allow us to share your delightful tale. So toy with us as you will. You’ve earned it,
Bob Ellis
I love that Tetris heart GIF! That is a BRILLIANT way to show the penny finally dropping for Faye.

How much do I have to pledge for Faye-Bubbles porn?
PBManning
This is... something
*head explodes* *unable to commence screaming*
giacomo vaghi
Ok ok ok I get it! She goes home and bumps into Martin, tells him she figured out she loves him, they make out. Claire goes to Bubble to talk about what she saw. Bubble kills Martin and Faye and this comic ends.
Oh gosh.
BobC
Am I supposed to comment or something? From the sound of things, it's like everyone here's seen a ship or something. Settle down. No boats to float here. Move along.
Matt
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kyle Rudy
Scare-quotes and thighs, a deadly combination.
SSJ Carrot Cake
i know, the way bubbles actually jokes with faye is amazing. the ship has left the harbor and is full speed ahead!
Yes!!!!!!
'That is how I "getcha"' is the cutest thing
Mark
I'm not one to squee, but it seems appropriate in this case. *ahem* SQUEE!
Brian
The rest of the week will just be Steve comics
Brian
What you did there. I see it.
Andje Lewkowicz-Lalonde
Faye's face is litterally perfect in panel 4. "Oh shit, I'm in love with my friend... Who's a robot... And a woman... I did bot expect this." And the backrub goes from innocent to sexy at 100mph.
Sarah Manx
I want the fourth panel on a looping gif so I can watch it all day!
Bagge
To be fair, Robots seem to be very similar in their reactions if Bubbles is any judge.
SARA J DAVIS
sigh. Humans are so broken in the emotions. Faye, the move you were looking for was to turn around into her, not walk away from her.
Tetris!
Lucy
Words cannot express how happy I am that this comic was not on a Friday.
Ben Russell-Gough
No, to Clinton and Roko in bed; Roko in sleep mode and surrounded by much-abused slices of bread and Clinton looking like he's just been hit by a mind-truck.
Carl Fink
Heh. I read too fast. I happened to scroll down while the GIF was all-black and got to the end, smiled at the expression on Faye's face, and only then realized there was an animation. Nicely done, just my stupid reading style.
David Paul
Now I am hearing it in my head. Thanks Tom...
Will Weaver
Annnnd tomorrow we cut to Steve.
Rob McBobson
See, I was just about to post this exact sentence. Weird.
Do we know that Roko is straight, or is it just bread?
FINALLY
And PLOTTING!
Virgel Dragalion
I'm so happy right now. ♥v♥
quarridors
It isn't even a Friday strip!
Gerry
SQuuuuuEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeEEEE!!!!
Morgan McCauley
eeeEEEEeEEEEeeEEEEEE! <3
AWWW
Ben Russell-Gough
Whilst I'm pretty sure Faye is going to go to Marten for advice, it occurs to me that another possible outcome for panel 5 is for Bubbles to grab Faye and try to massage away the 'leg cramp'. Complications ensue and they really should have closed the front shutter before doing that. Fortunately, Melon's only real comment is to ask them to advise Roko on how to get a guy.
Ben Russell-Gough
The simplest way to print would be to have each frame of the GIF as a separate panel, with each panel slightly overlapping to communicate progression. I think that would actually work very well!
Ben Russell-Gough
I AM expecting a several week long 'sorta date' arc with Faye and Bubbles awkwardly trying to make conversation about the situation.
Ben Russell-Gough
I suspect that they CAN have them; some chassis likely have them as standard, others as optional upgrades. I doubt that Bubbles has but it won't matter if her mind is solidly behind what's going on. As Roko often says: "It's psychosomatic".
Ben Russell-Gough
It will be... different from most obvious forms, I'm guessing. That said, I wouldn't put it past Jeph to do something strangely sci-fi like using the direct neural interface headset Spookybot invented to have dates together in the Virtual World.
Joseph H.
Commences.
Love the tetris heart gif. <3
Ben Russell-Gough
The penny... or in this case the Tetris block... finally drops and the realisation hits. I've been expecting this to happen for a while: This is the point where Faye goes running to Marten to beg him for advice.
That face. That animation. The care these two show. <3
Abhimat Gautam
Screaming commenced
Bagge
I friggin' LOVE the tetris metafor for Faye "putting the pieces together" as it were. Made even better by the animation.
AcheronYYC
I lost it here.
Andrew Tate
Cue Jeph writing two months of *soul-searching* comics where Bubs and Faye keep just missing each other...
Justin Seifert
I screamed, now my cats are hiding XD
Dylan T
JEPH YOU MAD GENIUS
Steve Mock
THAT GIF
Do ya want cylons? Because that's how you get cylons..
Drakoo Dreamer
Now, this brings up some thoughts. Do AI have 'parts' like humans or can they do the whole 'switchout' option.
Drakoo Dreamer
robosexual?
David Paul
She'll also be analysing the biosensor data, and be like "Guh huh buh wha?!"
Brent Catherman
Squeeing seems more in order. Perhaps Hannelore will sense this from halfway across the world, but be too hoarse from screaming over latrine duty. Better call Claire.
Populuxe
We haven’t seen a human/AI romantic relationship yet, have we? What would it even be called? Not interracial. Definitely not interspecies. Inter-what?
Populuxe
Me too. They’re just so happy and content with each other.
Kyle Jenkins
Somewhere Claire just started *squeeeeeeeing* and she has no idea why. Probably startled Martin as well as a few pigeons.
Philip D Jones
OK I was confused about Robot Sex. Now we have human-robot sex. I am OK with that but can’t figure out how it works. Faye has no USB ports. I don’t know how Bubs is equipped. So we will just have to see...
Abhayakara
It was an alien ship shaped like a heart.
giacomo vaghi
Woweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
David Paul
Oh, yes. *ahem*... EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE See also <a href="https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1708" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1708</a>

I believe everyone has now melted in the intensity of the adorableness... <3 <3 <3
Stoodmuffin
JUST. KISS. OR SOMETHING. DAMN IT. SLIPSHINE. IDK.
Stoodmuffin
I LOVE THESE GAY ASS FUGGIN DORKS. SO MUCH.
Everett Bradshaw
That second frame has me giddy.
Ami
Jeph, no. That is not how Tetris works. (Thank you for making comics that Mike Pence will hate)
Elf Sternberg
I'm getting my money's worth on this one. Then again, that's always true. Whether it's a Marten, a Claire, a Hanners, or even Jimbo story, it's still a joy to behold.
mooviies
*SLAP* *SLAP* Wake Up God Dammit! Wait...

IT'S HAPPENINGGGGG SOMEONE SMACK ME TO MAKE SURE IT ISN'T A DREAM
Am Queue
It took me a while to realize that it was a heart in the gif - I thought it was an alien ship or something.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
neato
don't you tell me when to scream okay I'm screaming
Bartley J Drood
We pay this guy to troll us with these teasing stories...and we love him for it. <3
Richard
Bubbles is a combat-class AI. I am totally sure she will replay this moment in her recharge time analyzing it for all of Faye's subtle body signs. Could she detect Faye lying? Maybe.
Tim Eldred
Also, "getcha" indeed :3
Denise Webber
ABOUT BLOODY TIME! That being said, Jeph, I ♥️ you. 🎶I saw a ship a sailing, a sailing in the morning.
Meredith Roman
It was more of a high pitched "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" than a scream, tbh.
Eir W
welp, who'da thunk it
Christy Brown
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Andrew Tate
That can't be a thing...
Morgan Bauman
I love everything about this page.
John Repass
FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!
Luzahn
That faaaace
Dave
Jeph, you magnificent bastard!
Lets see, tomorrow for Faye to screw things over, and then the cliffhanger. THEN we have a week of Melon trying to convince Roko to let her rub bread on Roko's butt. Don't blame me, I don't give Jeph his ideas. :)
Erin Hartshorn
Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! <3

“Questionable Content had an impressive 15-year run, which ended abruptly when its entire fandom spontaneously combusted. Researchers have yet to explain the phenomenon.”
Miyaa
Welp. A) I’m going to need a new set of pants. B) I can never watch competitive classic Tetris matches on YouTube the same way ever again. (And yes, that’s a thing.)

FINALLY!!!!

[extended Kermit flail]
Took Faye long enough...
Yeah, I definitely started screaming before I even read Jeph's note 😅😚
Tim Eldred
I watched that animation play like 5 times to see if there was any message in the flashing blocks between <3 blinks. Thought it was pulling a subliminal "SEXY" or something 😆
Gary Walker
Really trying not to piss off my wife who is trying to sleep right now. Total failure. Lols engaged.
gatherer818
I didn't realize there was animation, thank you.
Magic Chopstick Games
*tries to scream but only the Tetris theme song comes out*
The animation isn't playing in the Patreon app, I had to go to the mobile site to fully experience the glory
YAY!!!

*continuing to inhale audibly*
JEPH
I can't handle the tension AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
darklion
I'm fine with both btw
JD
OHMYGOD OH MY GOD OH MY GODOHMOYGOU
What a great visual metaphor for an epiphany
darklion
I don't know if that's supposed to indicate "the pieces falling into place" or something phallic, or both.
Owen Smith
Bravo Jeph. Bravo.
Cody Renton
Definitely Dora. Or, wait, didn't Faye have a roommate way back? Maybe it'll be that guy
Support Proposition Infinity! Robosexuality is not a crime!!!!!

This brightened a crappy work day immeasurably! Yay!

So...running on impulse or running to seek advice? If it's the latter, wonder who's going to have that land on them.
Kyle Major

Well, damn, this is one comic that will never see print, unless they invent animated ink.

Mandy Hoskins
What do you mean "commence" screaming?
Holly Nelson
Well, about time. Though to be fair, truly shy persons would have needed another few years to see it.
Kitza
Yay!!!!
Max D S
Aaaaaahhhhhh *gasp* wait I need my inhaler
Cody Renton
Oh shit wait this means we cut to Steve eating cereal for the next 40 strips doesn't it
